Thursday Morning Herd Check-in

Tags:

  Make sure you let your peeps

  know where to find you!  

   


    PLEASE Do Not Recommend the check-in diary

        Fierces on the Weather Critter Comment are obligatory welcome.

The morning check-in is an open thread posted to give you a place to visit with the meeses. Feel free to chat about your weather, share a bit of your life, grump (if you must), rave (if you can). The diarist du jour sometimes posts and runs, other times sticks around for a bit, often returns throughout the day and always cares that meeses are happy … or at least contented.

For those new to the Moose, Kysen left a Moose Welcome Mat (Part Deux) so, please, wipe your feet before you walk in the front door start posting.

The important stuff to get you started:

– Comments do not Auto-refresh. Click the refresh/reload on your tab to see new ones. Only click Post once for comments. When a diary’s comment threads grow, the page takes longer to refresh and the comment may not display right away.

– To check for replies to your comments, click the “My Comments” link in the right-hand column (or go to “My Moose”). Comments will be listed and a link to Recent Replies will be shown. (Note: Tending comments builds community)

– Ratings: Fierce means Thumbs Up, Fail means Thumbs Down, Meh means one of three things: I am unFailing you but I can’t Fierce you, I am unFiercing after a mistaken Fierce, … or Meh. Just Meh. (p.s. Ratings don’t bestow mojo, online behaviour does).

– The Recommended list has a prominent place on the Front Page because it reflects the interests of the Moose. When people drive-by, we want them to see what we are talking about: news, politics, science, history, personal stories, culture. The list is based on number of recs and days on the list. Per Kysen: “The best way to control Rec List content is to ONLY rec diaries you WANT to see ON the list.”

– Finally, the posting rules for a new diary: “Be excellent to each other… or else”

(Some other commenting/posting/tending notes for newbies can be found in this past check-in and, of course, consult Meese Mehta for all your questions on meesely decorum.)

    They say it will go up to 57 but I’m warmly dressed to head off to school.

    Have a good day y’all

    from Ukraine is very scary. And Putin is now talking about the “new Russia” and that makes me very very nervous. I need coffee. Hope it’s a good day for all. May all the news from Mooseland be good.

    Warmer this morning – 50s, so I could go back to wearing my gigantic flip flops. I got a lousy night’s sleep last night, miss my fitbit telling me exactly how lousy, but I kept waking myself up snoring, so I’d say fairly lousy.

    Got church tonight, and Maundy Thursday is my favorite service of the year. So dark & heavy. And taking everything out of the church, and the solemn music. (I looked for a youtube of the Psalm, not only could I not find anything, but — just don’t look for things of a religious nature on youtube……. it’s creepy)

    Anyway, I’m eating breakfast & drinking tea. Will probably wish I had more tea.

    next week (range from 60 to 90 and back).  At least that’s what they are saying at the moment.  Day 9 of Priority Registration, classes are closing and the ones just getting permission to enroll are starting to sound desperate.  Sigh.  And of course there’s my “real” work (other than enrolling students) and QC tonight.  Hope everybody had a good day.   HUGS.

    We attended a Memorial Service for an old friend yesterday, always a reflective time. He came to the US in 1956, leaving Hungry by swimming across a river into Austria. With his unique combination of an intelligent and determined work ethic he created a very successful life in the restaurant and fish wholesaling business. And he sponsored immigrant families from Vietnam and Hungry.

    So the room was full of fishermen, truck drivers, people who had worked for him, families living in this country because he helped them do so, friends with many divergent interests, and of course his family.

    His memorial was both a tribute to him and a living example of why tolerance and caring for others matters. Just following his example would create a humane immigration policy for our country.
