Posting an early Thread II because I omitted my friend, Lonnie, earlier. Was late getting his photo, and I inadvertently posted the wrong "saved" source code. Also, it was noted on Thread I that I should offer the fan early on!

Thanks, again, for letting us all laugh once more! JL

ROTFLMAO! Bump!

Bump!

Great work Billie!

Billie, my dear.......Please don't send any more 'personal' photos to my private mail.

The fan must not be working.

Although you're a most beautiful woman.....

I'm afraid you'll start a stampede to my mailbox by the other beauties on this thread.

PS Ditch the green 'doo'.. LOLOL!!!!!!!!!

Now, now, don't get mad....I KNOW you ARE beautiful woman.

Hey, I'll bumb this, eh????

THREAD I

As many of you know, I help with the FreeRepublic fundraisers. It is not always easy or fun sitting at a computer for hours and hours monitoring those threads. Everyone who work the threads VOLUNTEERS to do so. We spend days and weeks helping to keep FreeRepublic running.

Ask yourself these questions:

Where is the first place I go to get my news?
Am I getting any benefit from FreeRepublic?
Am I learning from FreeRepublic?

FreeRepublic is not free. It costs Jim Robinson tens of thousands of dollars to keep this forum running. There are over 60,000 registered users on FreeRepublic and only 1,000 help keep this forum running. Those who do not have the ability to donate money could help by bumping the threads once in a while. Those who who do should be ashamed of yourselves. You are a FReeploader.

Go ahead, flame me. I don't care. I contribute to FreeRepublic, and I for one do not want to see this forum dead.

If everyone who registered donated one measly dollar a month, we would never have to have a fundraiser again.

MaMa Bear and cote - can't you DO something with him?! You know him best! Tell me I haven't created a monster ego maniac here! :^) We DO have TWELVE MORE of these hunks here, you know, Valentino! :^)

No flames, WIMom. I HOPE no one will flame you for this anyway!

Uh-huh - and talk about an ingrate. :^) After all I did for him on this thread, look how he depicts me. Green hair! LOL!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

My dear brother and sister FReepers,

At this, of all times in my lifetime, I would like nothing more than to be able to read these threads and reply to them.  I have much I would like to say.

BUT, I cannot!

Why?

Because I am trying hard to raise the finances needed to keep FreeRepublic up and running so that we can continue to share valuable information and respond to it.

I beg you, if you have not yet donated to FreeRepublic this quarter,  do so now!

I realize you are giving to lots of Relief efforts and I encourage you to do so.  But we need to help FR too.  Where would we be right now without it?

If you have no money, please come and bump the Fundraiser Thread.

I would really like to reach our goal quickly so that I and the rest of the dedicated FReepers who are working the Fundraiser Threads can participate in what is undeniably the most important time in FreeRepublic's history.

Created a monster ego maniac!??????

No, you haven't.

I was that way when I got here.

We DO have TWELVE MORE of these hunks here, you know, Valentino! :^)

I wish they'd get here too. I'm the only one holding the fort.
Where's Dan'l Boone when I need him?????

BTW...My 'cote' is a little 'ticked' at me. : (

OMG!!!!!!!!

That's IT?! LOL!

I hope not really. I really hope not, too. :^)

oldvike, with a body like that, I am SO sorry I missed you for the calendar!

dixiechick: Oh, Billie! Your timing is perfect! I spent all day yesterday flying home on American Airlines (I was stranded 2000 miles from home--a 4 day visit turned into a 10 day visit). Between being sad for the AA employees, and a tad scared, I am emotionally drained today (even more so than before). I was also torn between being glad for the extra security (they went so far as to close and lock the plane door before sending the manifest to the FBI to screen the passengers) and being upset that privacy is a thing of the past, at least temporarily. My hat's off to you! Kudos! ^5's! And, my thanks!
Thanks for your post. It's been a rough, sad, tragic, heartwrenching, draining week. And it's going to stay in the back of our minds for a very, very long time. This thread, this silliness, is temporary.

DJ, thanks also for your post. I'm glad you enjoyed it - For the record, I WILL NOT BE DOING A FREEPERETTE CALENDAR!!! :^)
