[francisandbeans]

thanks Joe...I'll stick around for a bit longer but I proably wont stay on FR much longer. You can thank BADJOE for that.

[Just another Joe]

Really? What seems to be the issue? Or should I ask?

[Bella_Bru]

Of course....how dare anyone question anything....just send a check and quiet down, right?

[Bella_Bru]

I think francis desperately needs a drink....maybe a Jack and water....

click my name and follow the thread title Born to Free Republic if you want to see it in full detail.

[Just another Joe]

Yeh, I saw it just now.
Asking questions sometimes hits people the wrong way.
IF you do go let us know before and we'll have one Friday's lounge dedicated to and for you. OK?
As long as I open the lounge you will ALWAYS be the author.

[Bahbah]

Curious, and not wanting to see F&B go away, I followed instructions but no such thread popped up. What did I do wrong?

[MeekOneGOP]

Here's one I stole from FReeper whoever from the USO thread this week:

A farmer and his wife were in bed one night when there was a knock on the door. The farmer got out of bed and answered the door. There was a drunk cowboy standing at the door and the farmer bluntly says, "What do you want?"

The cowboy replies, "I want a push. Can you help me?"

"No, and go away!" says the farmer as he slammed the door.

He climbed back into bed and his wife asked, "Who was at the door?"

"Oh just some drunk who wanted a push." said the farmer.

"Well did you help him?" said the wife.

"Nope." says farmer.

"Darling, don't you remember about 20 years ago when our old truck broke down in the middle of nowhere on the side of a road? Every car went past us and you were so angry until a good Samaritan came along and towed us back to town." says the wife.

"I guess your right dear." says the farmer.

So he climbed out of bed and went outside and yelled, "Are you still there?"

"Yep." says the drunken cowboy.

"Where are you then? Come on I don't have all night." says the farmer.

"I'm over here." says cowboy.

"Where?" asked the farmer.

"On the swing." answered the cowboy.

Joe:

That's might gracious of you. I know I havent been around muc and I appreciate watching this thing blossom the way it has and I credit you and max and gabz for the bulk of it. I may be the author, but you guys are doing all the work now.

[Just another Joe]

Bahbah, try here. Follow it back from there and forward from there.

[Just another Joe]

f&b, that's all right. George Washington isn't around anymore either but he's still known as the father of our country.
In the same way, even if you decide to go elsewhere you will still be the author of the Free Republic Smokers' Lounge.

Anybody need a drink. I just downed a stableizer. Anyone else want one?

[francisandbeans]

I could use a Henieken or 2.

[Digital Chaos]

Anyone else notice this:

State tobacco tax may double

...House lawmakers gave preliminary approval yesterday to a bill to double the state's tobacco tax to $2 per pack, a move that would make Hawai'i's tax the highest in the nation...

Feeling overtaxed, smokers head for Idaho and Oregon

... After Jan. 1, when Washington raised its cigarette tax to $1.42 per pack, making it the highest in the nation...

States Eye Cigarette Tax Increases

...Beginning April 1, New York's cigarette tax will become $1.50 per pack, the highest in the nation...

[Just another Joe]

Here ya go.
When that one's done let me know.

[nothingnew]
