Every year, in July or August, my C.U. sends me a new card. I never think of it in time but that act stops monthly donations to F.R. and I have to renew the pledge to get it started again.

If anyone else is in this situation, try to remember, I will too.

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you very much, little jeremiah!!

Done!

Keep up the good work as I know we (more than any other Conservative Site) are driving the Far Left Moonbat Retards, nuts—not to mention, being a major thorn in the Fascist, Community Agitator, Dear Leader’s side!!! lol

God Bless all Freepers; God Bless our Brave Patriot Warriors, wherever they may be serving and God Bless America!

ATTENTION ALL FREEPERS FROM THE MOST LIBERAL STATE IN THE UNION, THE SOCIALIST PEOPLE'S UTOPIA OF VERMONT!

While I realize there are not many of us Cons (see tagline) who have the misfortune of living in VT, I hope y'all step up and make a donation.

It is EMBARRASING to see we are being beat by South Korea, Canada, Norway AND, the CONGO?

The Brave Pig A traveler was driving through Arkansas when he lost his way and got off the main highway. As he drove by, he saw rows and rows of pigsties and pigpens and pigs running in fields and pigs wallowing in mud.

Suddenly, his eye caught something really strange. He did a double take, muttered to himself and then looked a third time. He wondered if he had seen correctly - it looked like a pig with a wooden leg!

He found the lane to the farm and drove up into the farmyard, where he was met by the farmer. "Excuse me," the traveler said. "I was just driving by and looking at all your pigs, and I noticed something that I just had to stop and ask about. Tell me, did I see right? Is there really a pig out there with a wooden leg?"

The farmer smiled. "Oh, that would be old Caesar you saw. He's the finest pig a man could ever hope to have - and smart!

Well, let me tell you a little about that pig. You see that barge down there on the river? That's a mining dredge, taking out platinum ore. Old Caesar sniffed out the vein and showed us how to set it up. Now that dredge brings me in about $120,000 every year.

"There's another thing, too, a little more personal. One night a couple of years ago I got to drinking and I guess I had more than I should have. I passed out drunk, fell down and knocked over a lamp.

That started a fire in the house and old Caesar smelled the smoke. He came in the back door, got the wife and kid out, roused me up and got me out.

"There is no question about it - that night old Caesar saved all our lives and you know that is not the sort of thing a man is going to forget too easily."

"Why," the traveler said, "this is all amazing! I have never heard of a pig like this before! This is fantastic! But tell me, how did he get that wooden leg? Was he in a wreck or something?"

The farmer laughed and said, "Well, naturally, when you have a pig that smart, you don't want to eat him all at one time!"

"So, this was what I decided to do for Caesar."

BUMPING ,,, THE ,,, THON !!!

.......when you have a pig that smart, you don't want to eat him all at one time!"

A wise farmer. No doubt about it.
I must agree with him.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Out of these millions of visits, hundreds of millions of pageviews, hundreds of thousands of registered FReepers and hundreds of thousands of regular lurkers only a relatively FEW actually donate the funds to keep FR alive.

Since yesterday was tax day and many FReepers were attending Tea Parties, I'm revising and extending my challenge from yesterday:

For ANY new monthly contribution, in any amount ($1, $5, $10 or more) I'll donate $1.00 (up to $50.00). If you're already a monthly donor, I'll kick in $.50 for each increase in any amount.

FReeper TheOldLady has added her own challenge:

To: jellybean

I’ll double what you donate (up to $100).

This challenge will run through the week-end and will include any new monthlies or increases which came in over the last 24 hours.

So, c'mon everyone! Here is a way to make your contribution go just a bit farther and deplete my bank account (and TheOldLady's) at the same time!
