Check out our FRiend Exit148's amazing profile! She's truly been an inspiration to us since me met her at a rally in NYC in October, 2000.

She joined Free Republic right after "Monica Lewinsky," finding it on the link off the Drudge report. She can remember exactly what happened. She yelled downstairs to her husband: "Jim, you should see this place!" It was like finding her "people" on line. Then and there, "the addiction started."

Same here... I was awestruck when I found FR!

Her husband Jim often starts his day with an inch-thick printout of material Jo-Ann has given him to peruse over his morning coffee!

Jo-Ann, you and I are sooooo alike in many ways... it's scary! :-)

"zelig" gets his inch-thick printout every morning as well!

Jim sometimes accompanies her to DC Freeps, although she's yet to persuade him to hold a sign. Or trick him into holding a sign: she tried asking him to hold a sign while she feigned tying her shoes, and then grabbed her camera to try to get a shot of him, but he was too fast for her!

ROTFL!

Congratulations 148, it's what I like most about the FR, meeting great people like yourself. It's always a pleasure.

I finally got to sit down and read the article about Exit! FreetheHostages did an outstanding job - she captures the spirit in one sentence - Beauty, inside and out.

Hugs, Exit. I hope that you enjoyed your day.
