Erm, "Vanity thread" - post written by self, usually for the benefit of such (as opposed to the stuff we "take for the purposes of review" off other sites, such as news items)

Welcome to FR. I'm a FReeping widow... literally. Half the time I was with him, my husband was on Free Republic... now he's dead, I spend half my time here... heh. Go figure!

Hi there! And welcome!

A "vanity" is a thread where you talk about personal stuff... ( questions, birth of a kid, an unsolicited opinion, a prayer request, a marriage announcement)


Sometimes vanities can be quite good.

They tend to crop up more on Friday and Saturday night as people reax and enjoy thier "adult beverages"!


Nice to meet you!

Tia
