Tuesday 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.)

    oh noessss!

    It will become rain and then sunny with a high of 40. I guess fall is over and winter is here.

    Sigh.

    Getting ready for school, and Bkos later.

    Good morning Jan and meese.

    20 degrees in Madison…brrrrrrrrrrrr.

    mix of rain and snow coming down.  Hope it’s a good day for all. I have stopped reading most of the articles in the paper about how things have never been worse and how Obama has ruined everything and why we should never elect introverts. A friend told me I should start reading the sports pages.

    The temperature now is the hogh for the day, cold front blowing in, it’ll be in the 40s when I leave work. I started schooching the plants close together. It isn’t going to freeze tonight, but it will soon, so I might as well be ready.

    Wow was that alarm early this morning. And only a 3 day weekend, but still I’m spoiled by the extra sleep.

    Tickets for Dallas Buyers Club are finally on sale, making arrangements to go on Friday, with people. I willl definitely cry, but I really want to see it.

    Sunny and cold.  High 33 today.  It is soooooo clear though.  Beautiful.  I am one of those weirdos that loves winter and cold weather. and the food, clothes and fires that come with it.  

    Hope you all have a great day.

    In my attempt to bring order to my basement (life) one shelf at a time I found my kids school lunch boxes yesterday…..my 42,43 and 45 yr old kids! Oh nostalgia, I do have it.

    that’s been moved to tonight’s prediction (mid-teens) – busy, busy, busy – mostly telling sophomores they can’t get into junior and senior level classes at this point – maybe someday we’ll actually offer enough sections to take care of our juniors and seniors and then can give a bit of help the rest.  QC Finance Committee tonight.  Hopefully short (ish) as it’s just the regular standing committee and not Budget.  Budget’s Thursday – I don’t expect to be home before 8, if I’m lucky.  Have the good rest of the day.

    I’m at the National Archives waiting for a pension file from the Mexican War for a client. I just made the 1:30 pull and the file should be up by 2:30. Meantime, I’m hangin’ out. Guess I oughtta be doin’ genealogy but I’m not.

    When I came here this morning there was no snow; it was sort of cold, a little bit windy, but not terrible. I’ve heard that it’s very cold and windy outside now but I don’t listen to rumors like that.
