FR has changed my life Jim. I'm no longer afraid to tell others (mostly liberal in-laws) what my views are. After all, they've always felt free to tell me theirs.

The difference is that now I have the facts and education provided by FR to back up what I have felt all along. They have neither, only their "feelings" which we all know change by the minute.

My husband says he enjoys hearing what I've learned from spending so much time on this forum and that I'm so interesting to talk to when I talk about politics. Of course I never go to bed at the same time as him anymore, he's not real happy about that ; )

He even finds himself quoting me to co-workers and is amazed when they say "Wow, I've never heard that before" or "I never thought about it that way".

I would be lost without my fix of FReep every day. Because of FR I've become more politically active and have protested for what is right and what I believe in, before I found FR I truly (sad to say) hadn't given a lot of thought to what I believe.

I don't EVER want FR to go away. I'm grooming my kids to be FReepers some day.

I will be putting another check in the mail this week to help FR to stay alive.

Thank you for all you do Jim and John, I hope to meet you some day. I can't imagine what a tiring, thankless job you have. You are doing a GREAT job, keep it up.

mykdsmom--Your #81 post was awesome!! FR gave me courage as well as others too! For me, it opened the door to being a volunteer for SAS (mentioned by hotline in an earlier post) and I met missouri freepers. Twas cool! I alway said I WOULD donate regularly when I get out and start working. (am stay at home now) BUT...am going to make a donation this weekend.

Gummy, thanks for the heads up. :( The distractors on this forum, as well as the one we frequent reminds me of this dude that walked around us in kc when we were protesting Gore's visit. He had this disgusting looking on his face like we were piles of crap... (ROFL) and he was trying to harass us by constantly belittling what we were doing. (Troutstalker probably remembers him)... Those people really have small minds, small hearts and lots of mouth.

You've got me in stitches lady. I love the way you write. LOL

Toooo funny. PIMP

This is the funnies of all. It's been a long time, but a mom just waits for her kids to finally get to bed so she has a little time to herself - and what do you do... get hooked on FR. LOL LOL It's just so funny. You're poor husband just might not understand. You're a hoot lady.

He even finds himself quoting me to co-workers and is amazed when they say "Wow, I've never heard that before" or "I never thought about it that way".

And you have the credibility to back it up.... Our own USA leftist newspapers!!!! I'd say those are all excellent reasons why JR should keep FR on line.

I don't EVER want FR to go away. I'm grooming my kids to be FReepers some day.

Hopefully, it will still be around when your children need a little political stimulation ;-)
