I hoped I could entice you to post, Nork. One of the all time great FReepers as those thread posting numbers testify.

Less than 15 feet from where I’m sitting. We just had some apricot orange semifreddo with raspberry-blackberry sauce. Sounds elegant, actually the simplest thing to make and even simpler to eat. God bless the berry patch!

I’ll bet you’ll never forget this thread D-o. I think your first reply was at #30...

I sure do. I think that thread got a write-up in the NY Times. And they corrected my typo.

Accounts tab, eh... "You've posted a total of 135 threads and 49,872 replies."

In other words, I've posted probably ten relevant to planet earth news stories, and a whole bunch of Nascar threads, and, um, run off at the mouth to the tune of 50K.

First thing every morning, I check the breaking news column at FR, then see if anyone has responded to a post, then check pings to interesting threads. I've been addicted to FR since before Drudge had a link, and didn't join until something other than modem (SOTM) internet was available at home. Thursday will be my 10th year posting here. I'm a dollar-a-day donor.

In my initial version of hell on earth, I wake up and click the FR icon and get 404.

Each and every one of us need to do what we can to return America, the beacon of liberty, fleeting experiment of representative society, to Constitutional governance.

Such is the goal of Free Republic.



Thanks to Jim Robinson for creating Free Republic and to his sons John and Chris for their efforts to improve it keep it running smoothly and support their father

Thank you for coming to Free Republic May your life and our nation be richly blessed for your having done so

A very sad day.

This scientific analysis of the disaster went to 4300 posts (I thought it went to 8,500). Some of them were mine...

Let's say it takes one minute to post a reply. That equates to 1,457.5 hours! I am at a loss for words.

Erroneous premise.

Erroneous premise.

In which direction?

When the history of this age is recorded, Free Republic will be listed as one of the driving forces.
There is NOTHING like FreeRepublic ANYWHERE.
JimRob quite possibly saved Western Civilization from extinction.

That is the worth of FreeRepublic.
