The RECOUNT! We had some really good threads. Remember “Chad” the hanging squirrel?
To: Texas Tea
I do! And our weird diets and lack of doing housework for days and days. It was dreadful, up all night watching tv and going to work bleary eyed!

Thanks for the great post, Ken. I miss Barbara as well.

Thanks for all that! I remember your threads very well, we had insights here that no one had and it is all because of your coverage.
I never knew BKO was her until after that day. She is missed by many of us. You my FRiend had the chance to be a part of her life and helped her formulate her speaking on TV.
Thank you!

Thanks so much for you kind words..I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Though unrelated to the topic of the thread, there was a common theme in many of your comments...how much FR has changed since those days...it's a different place now..harsher, less civil..sometimes unpleasant..
The natural eveolution of political discourse in a decade, or have we so allowed our opponents to debase our society? We shall see over then next 15 months...

I had a few freepmails with Barbara, I didn't know who BKO was until she was gone..
May she rest in peace.
