Wow! Congratulations and thanks JimRob. 10 years - I think I first visited here in 1997 and lurked for about 3 years before finally signing up. LOL.
Yep, good thing about a Halloween birthday over a Christmas birthday is you don't get cheated out of presents.
LOL- I'd like to have read that exchange!
thanks :O)
Thank you, Jim Robinson.
Had your life turn out as you had prayed it would, in the beginning when all was dark, would this world have been as it is now? Had your life been as you had hoped it to be, would we have been so blessed?
Had you not started FreeRepublic, where would this United States have been without you?
This is a meaning of triumph; you took your hardship and turned in into victory. You never quit - and here we are...
thank you.
To all the years of keeping the fire to the feet of the Republic,
Salud!
10 more year!?, Nah, in ten years we'll be worrying about the upstart Conservative pirate videoblog tv channels stealing FR marketshare. Hope to be here still for the 20th anniversary!
Fighting moonbats? On what forum?
Wow, congrats to Jim.
Won't a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY do?
Many others too; sadly.
Oh, no. Today's Halloween? I don't have a costume!**
(I should have said a Christmas *gleam in Daddy's eye,* I suppose.)
**But I *do* have the candy!
Wow, congratulations Jim and thank you for a great 10 years. BTW, today is also my 12 year anniversary with my wonderful wife.
A true crime one, of "mixed" representation. Lots of nice people and 1-2 dips.
Last time I was really drunk was that time in Kazakhstan in 1993, and I don't ever want to relive that.
Happy Anniversary to you and Mrs Fightin!
Sounds interesting. :-)
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....I won't tell if you don't. LOL
Gone now, I fear. You recall that FR was quite a bit rougher in those days and stuff that would get you banned for life these days was commonplace back then. Frankly I was pants-peeing scared to hit the Post button that first time.
FR remains an intimidating place to post, and that is as it should be. You don't bring training wheels to a racetrack.
Yup...Even the old white water and freerepublic graphics are no longer on the FR server as far as I can tell.
