This is the second time I have read about your wild times at Olive Garden from a disgruntled ex-Freeper. I have also read your explanation of the first time you were taken to Olive Garden when you were visiting away from your home. As everyone knows, Olive Garden is as expensive as a four star French restaurant. Why, soup, salad and tea and bread sticks at Olive Garden is about $10 and you can eat all you want. It is wasteful for the planet for you to spend that much money and you shouldn’t eat anyway.

This is very serious. It may be that you are using OUR money to feed yourself. You should be able to live without eating or drinking.

This is so ridiculous. You work here and you are compensated by those who read and post here. You are not a free loader – it’s those who read and post and don’t contribute who are free loaders if they read and post all the time, over and over. You don’t require anyone to contribute as that is left to the individual.

The next time you eat out anywhere, please use MY money to pay for your meal and a few glasses of wine. FR is important to me and I want you to live well.

Thank you very much, Marcella!!

And thank you all very much for bearing with us, and for your kind words and loyal support.

Sorry about posting this stuff to FR, but I really got a chuckle out of it last night. But now after sleeping on it I realize that it was my bad. I’m very sorry about Dengar01. We gave him lots of leeway here, but I guess his emotional problems got the better of him. Most posters who go off the rails here get the zot, but Dengar got lots and lots of breaks until he went totally postal on us. Like they say, no good deed goes unpunished.

This troubled young man is in serious need of prayer.

I've always assumed that using Olive Garden as a symbol of extravagance had to be a joke.

I mean it is a joke, right?

Many years ago there was a legal action against FR and the donation page actually offered donating freepers the option of designating their donation to fight the lawsuit or specifically to NOT use the donation to fight the suit. (I believe I'm remembering that correctly...)

Anyway, every time I've made a donation to FR over the past decade+ I've always put in the "comments" section of the donation page, "This donation can be spent in any way Jim Robinson wants to spend it." I mean that literally.
