Dear FRiends,

We need your continuing support to keep FR on the air.

FR is funded solely by contributions made by the liberty loving patriots who enjoy and use it.

We are beholden to no political party.

No advertisers, no outsiders, no sugar daddies, no corporate string pullers.

This means no commercial ads. No annoying pop-ups. No ad tracking. No mail campaigns. No spam. No one trying to control us.

Definitely no government subsidies or tax breaks.

We are self-funded, fiercely independent and enjoy our freedom to speak plainly in the support of God, family, country, liberty!!

But we cannot exist without you.

Every donation counts no matter how big or small. If you can donate $5, $10, $20, $100 or more, it would be greatly appreciated.

Your loyal support makes Free Republic possible and your continuing participation makes FR the number one pro-life, pro-family, pro-small government, pro-defense conservative forum on the Net!!

And we're going to need FR now more than ever to combat the current crop of Marxists and progressives who have infested our government and public institutions and who are dead set on destroying the final remnants of our cherished constitution and our precious God-given liberty!!

Please click the secure server link above or donate by mail to: Free Republic - PO Box 9771 - Fresno, CA 93794

Make it a monthly if you can. We have some very generous FReeper sponsors kicking in an extra ten bucks for every new monthly signed up and we now have 18 new monthlies so far this quarter

Or send in a hundred dollars or more per quarter and join I_be_tc's growing list of 300 Club patriots. I_be_tc sends in $100 per quarter and challenges 300 others to do the same. And we have received 86 donations of $100 or more so far this quarter. If we could get 300 FReepers to send in $100 per quarter, these FReepathons would complete much faster.

Thank you all very much!!

God bless.

[deoetdoctrinae]

Dang right. I mean, what’s the point? LOL

[RedMDer]

Thank you all very much!!
Your loyal support keeps FR alive and well and is truly and greatly appreciated!!
FReepers are the absolute greatest!!
God bless!!

Too pooped to pop. I’m off to bed. Night all. God bless.

Ut oh, FL is in second.

Could my prediction be wrong this year?

Nah, I'll be 16 out of 16.

I'm so modest...

5.56mm

[RedMDer]

That’s a bad idea gone terribly wrong.

[RedMDer]

There’s always hope and with a little more change who knows

Good Morning!

Winter Storm Watch Monday To Tuesday

10 to 14 inches of snow

What's coming at you?

[TheOldLady]

According to NOAA:



But they're just talking about inches, anywhere from 1 to 3".

[DJ MacWoW]

You must be on the outer edge. I’d be happy with 1 to 3! :-)

We are in a strange little place here. The weather usually splits and goes around us. The only time since we moved
here 11 years ago when the snow was 3’ was five years ago.

Thank goodness we had bought our 4WD F150 and were able to get to the store. They weren’t even trying to plow it,
and there was a one-lane track into town, the rest of the highway being inundated. Other than the cars in the ditches,
we had the track to ourselves.

Bryan doesn’t mind 1 to 3” either. He does enjoy using the Deere to clear the snow from the driveway and walkways.

Before I got sick, my job was shoveling where the Deere doesn’t reach, but he does that now. I’ll be better soon. Only
four more chemo sessions with the “nasty drugs.” They make me stink! I’m drinking all the water I can to flush them
out of my system, 64 oz. minimum, every day.

[DJ MacWoW]

We get Nor'easters here. We've had several. 14 inches is about what they end up being but 2 in a row makes life interesting. We just had 7 with the last storm and got it cleared yesterday.

That's a lot of water to drink but I'm glad it works to flush your system.

Bryan’s solution? “Take a shower.”

A fat lot of good that does. As soon as I get out of the shower,
I start sweating yuck again. Showering does not help.

Drinking a ton of water is the only thing that makes it get better
as quickly as possible.
