Hello and Happy New Year! I seem to remember that you were able to speak Chinese [Cantonese?] with tourists out in front of the White House.

Hope this finds you well.

Hey, JV, how are you! I think you are referring to Exit148--she was the one who could speak Cantonese, IIRC.

I did get to protest in front the White House a few times in 2000 with the Freepers on Saturdays, sometimes with your brother.

Exit148 inspired my screen name--it's a Jersey thing--you are known by which Parkway or Turnpike exit is closest to you.

Hi Jimmy Valentine!! How’s your brother??

Hi Mombonn!

Actually I spoke Mandarin to the Chinese tourists. My posters were in Chinese Characters, so both Mandarin and Cantonese speakers coming out of the WH could read them. Those were fun days -— and seem so innocent compared to what we are facing today!!!! We must say a bit of thanks to dear, late, Mr. Confetti Man who was so instrumental in getting the WH protests going.

I came to FR thru Drudge and Watergate, also, and becoming a Freeper changed my life totally! Best addiction I ever had! A day without FR is like a day without -—— well, I don’t know without what, as I never miss a day without FR!

When I chose my Exit148 name, I thought I would be totally incognito, except for those living in NJ. But the first day I was on line, a trucker from the mid-west came right on and said he knew where I lived!! LOL! So much for anonymity!

So Happy New year to all the oldies, and the newbies and the inbetweenbies! Free Republic is the greatest. God bless you JimRob!
