Saturday All Day Check-in for the Herd

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.

On weekends (and holidays), you may find the check-in thread earlier or later than normal because … it is the weekend! Moosies need their beauty rest:

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.)

    But just knowing daylight is increasing will help it feel less gloomy.

    When we packed away Ron’s mothers house last spring we brought  her spoon collection home with us, as the only real value is sentimental. So we polished the spoons, sorted them according to the interests of each person in the family, and yesterday I finally got all the red ribbons tied to them and sent them off to become family Christmas tree ornaments. Each spoon has a story, and sentimental me wants the stories to stay in the collective family memory.

    My sewing studio workshop has been busy this season!

    So I was on my way to my workout when it hit me: I hadn’t eaten because I can’t until an hour after I take the meds, it wouldn’t be an hour after till too close to the workout to eat….. and I had forgotten to bring a Cliff bar to eat after the workout. So I turned around & came home — by then it was ok to eat so I ad some cheese & crackers & went back to bed. Up & watching the last of MHP – with Joy Reid subbing. Having some yogurt & granola and of course, tea.

    I e-mailed my brother about Christmas and he has to work. Not surprising, he’s brand new at his work, so of course he works the suckiest schedule. I think I’ll go to a movie – there are 3 I want to see, so I can go Tues, Wed & Thurs.

    I should go to the gym later, but right now I’m sleepy & cold, so I’m hanging on the couch.
