The monomaniacal Democrats are determined to take our guns, yet their elite have protection. Heck, they want to take our guns and give us whistles.

Excellent essay on why we need guns, too.

Does my paycheck get docked for not putting up Wednesday’s word? Do I lose my Obamacare?

Re: the left’s tax and spend monomania
Can nothing be done to contain ya’?
Wasting all of our cash
Turning commerce to trash
Paying liars like Carney to explain ya’

Due to an FBI raid on The Scooter Store, this years races will be canceled. $100mil in fraud? No wonder we are broke.

Monomania

When I explained to cousin Philbert that monomania was a single minded obsession he suggested widening out our goals to multimanias for the sake of variety.

Not hearing very well cousin Philbert thought I said moMomania and went into a daddodepression which required the voltage be turned up.

Philbert has a fear of nuclear power so he may be suffering from mononuclearosus or something.

Anyway don’t let monomania turn into malaise or you could have monomaninaise.

I am one of those monomaniac Freepers checking every hour to see if the site is back up! Yay and welcome back, everyone.

Glad we are back up.

Had to buy a new server?

What does this do to our budget?

Don’t know about the budget, but I think that they were planning a new server in the near future anyway. I think that is why the quarterlies jumped into the high $80k range a couple of fundraisers ago. Does anybody else remember?

LOL I didn’t check every hour....just once or twice a day. I figured I needed the break from politics. I actually had to do something else with my time. A++

Crimony crickets! A company badgering doctors to prescribe scooters? I know that I could use a scooter, and my orthopaedist says “no”. He thinks that relying on a scooter will make my recovery slower. I grab one every time I go into a store that offers them, however.

Surgery is scheduled April 5.

I’ll have to go with Fraidy’s answer as I have no clue. Time to make a donation, though.

Never tried one, I walk even if every step is painful. I need the exercise.

I’m bone on bone in one leg. It is WAY too painful to try to navigate around a “large box” store, or a supermarket, without the scooter. I’m going to get it fixed in April, but I suspect that I will hurt a whole lot more afterwards for a while.
