Shermy and Grampa, and all you other gals and guys on my list: thanks for being my friends. I indeed am a lucky fellow. Maybe our friendship will make some little difference in this seemingly harsh and hateful world.

A big thank you to all the great FReepers here at Freerepublic and to Jim and John Robinson.

Freerepublic Rocks!

[OldFriend]

There aren't enough words to thank all the freeper who have been so kind to me and who continue to be a bright spot in my every day.

[Shermy]

Cheers.

I get the drift about some of these threads lately. But to put into context, check out this thread I put up on June 19. About a dog. And it's still going! Some posters are meaner than a pit bull.

Being on someone's list isn't often a good thing.
Thanks for having me on yours. I've learned so much.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks! I'm honored to be a friend of yours! Your country is a bona fide ally of America. That means a lot over the decades and in these times even more.

Keep us posted and be sure to ping me when you have a thread or one of your spicy replies.

Nice to see you back.

Thanks for keeping the forum up-to-date on a part of the Muslim world US citizens don't
hear much about.

I'll always be honest with you; I proceed with caution about the Islamicists after 9-11.
But with your accounts, many more people can distinguish the radicals
(Islamicists) that we should view with caution from the average Muslims and from the
even more temperate Muslims of Turkey and other areas.

We may have trouble "learning to trust" after 9-11...it will be an evolutionary process...

Your words and the arrival of the Turkish troops to help with the peace in Afghanistan
sure help.

OK, enough of the "mutual admiration society"...back to the "rough and tumble" of
freerepublic.com!
