My 13th anniversary is tomorrow, brother!
I was trying to count how many people I’ve brought into the FR fold and lost count at about 17.
Happy New Year and happy Freeping to all!
Jim, thank you for letting me “play” here for thirteen years. You have been a man of principle during that entire time, from daring to hold President Clinton accountable in 1998 to today, reminding us daily not to fall for false conservative candidates served up by the GOP. Happy New Year to you, the missus, and John.
Registered and Buckhead, I have mentioned your contributions here, but don’t know if you still post or even lurk here. I hope you see this and stop in to say hello to all the Freepers.
Happy 13th to you too, FrogMom! It’s been quite a ride, hasn’t it?
Happy New Year to you and yours!
You are just a noobie ibtz
Excellent postings and congrats to you! I too started lurking here and showed up for the March for Justice and the December rally at the Capitol steps. I went by train from NJ alone and was so inspired to find like minded folks there I eventually signed up here too. I read with relish all the unabashed Saturday protests at the White House, Kristinn’s showing up at the Church on Sundays when the odious ones attended to keep an eye on them and let them know we’re out here, freepers showing up at hearings on their lunch time. Alamo Girl’s extensive records on the clinton corruption, the awful tense times of the 2000 election and recounts where freepers went to Florida to help in the recount by monitoring. The court hearings afterwards when freepers like Barbara Olsen and her like explained what was happening with the rulings. I sat all day and night in front of my computer when 9/11 happened to get the story of what happened. So many memories and I owe so much thanks to Jim for creating a place for us all to congregate.
Another noobie
Don’t fall over—I actually posted a thread!
Happy New Year to you and to your families!
Mine also!
I’ll be posting my “13 Thread” in April. Congrats to an old FRiend!
Thanks,al babay, and thanks for all the laughs over the years. Your posts are great.
Happy New Year to you!
hah! rookies... i’ve been here since... OMG I’VE BEEN FREEPING FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS!!!!!
(I better send jimRob another check soon)
Wow you re old
Happy Anniversary, exit82! I was prompted by your post to check my date. Turns out I’ve been freepin’ since Oct. 26, 1998! And lurking long before that! 13 years! Long time!
You must be using the new math
Best to you and yours.
Citizen Soldier, thanks for sharing your beginnings with FreeRepublic. I’m in southern DE now, but it’s a shame we didn’t run into each other at Freeps over the years.
I have terrific memories of Freeping at the White House in 1999 and 2000 with the DC Chapter on Saturdays. The tourists loved to take pictures with the signs we had.
Thanks too for remembering Barbara Olsen, who dies on 9/11/2001, a passenger on the jet that crashed into the Pentagon. We lost so many bright lights that day.
Well, you can’t keep a good Joisey conservative down,right!
Haven’t we made the endangered species list yet?!!
Happy New Year to you!
Happy 13th( a little belated) to another member of the Class of ‘98 and a happy New Year also!
Congrats. I happen to have you beat by 9 months & approx 2000 more replies. This is the only site that I feel comfortable replying. Happy New Year to all.
