HELP KEEP THE LIGHTS ON: First Quarter '03 FReepathon Now Underway .. Thread 6

.... ...
The Free Republic first quarter '03 FReepathon is now underway!

Our goal for this fundraiser is the same as last quarter: $65,000. We have about $4,000 per month coming in from monthly donors so we will need to raise approx $53,000 to hit the target.
The funds raised through these fundraisers are used to pay our operating costs. Free Republic operates on an approximate $260,000 annual budget (breakdown here) and all funds are provided by donations from FReepers and Lurkers.

Thank you all very much for your continued support.
P.S. We are planning to make FreeRepublic.com email addresses available as a thank you to all who donate at least once per year. This new feature should be ready to go within a few days. We will post a notice and a link for donors to setup their FR email address as soon as it's ready.
Donate to FR and help us keep the lights on for the best political forum on the NET!

Thanks for the bump, justshe.

Having computer problems "big time"!

Keeps freezing up on me.

[justshe]

A POX on computers! They are not my best friend right now. Good luck on getting yours 'thawed'...and if all else fails.....smack it around a bit!

[Gabz]

they've rescheduled for tomorrow (thanks for small favors) but I still have to make this place presentable!!!

[RottiBiz]

Great post, justshe. I can't stop laughing!

Glock will like it, too. He likes to poke fun at us old folks.

[RottiBiz]

Found the story I was telling you about. Not so funny now that it has become a fact of life!

An old couple had been urged to " write everything down promptly, as it helps the process of recall."

Watching television that evening, the wife rises and starts for the kitchen. The husband says, "As long as you're going to the kitchen, would you bring me a bowl of ice cream?' She says, "All right," and turns to go.

"Wait, wait. First write it down."

"I don't have to. It's just two steps to the kitchen."

By the way," he says, "put chocolate syrup on the ice cream."

"All right," she says as she leaves.

"Write it down," he cries.

It's not necessary," she insists. "I'm already in the kitchen."

In a few minutes the wife appears and says to her husband, "Here's your oatmeal."

His reply: "So where's my toast?"

From the Scoreboard posted above:

$5,573 per month, up $1,377 (plus 33%)

305 Monthly Donors, up 84 (plus 38%)

We're getting there. Great work everyone!

THANKS TO ALL MONTHLY DONORS AND DOLLAR-A-DAY FREEPERS!

[Gabz]

That's EXACTLY how I feel aboutmy computer at this point

[justshe]

Huh?

Did you want something? (@.@)

What did you say?

[justshe]

Morning, Gabz!

Did you hear me cheering for the Bucs?!?!?!?!

[Gabz]

Good morning (actually afternoon) to you as well!!!!!

Of course I heard you cheering!!!!

I had this really perverse desire to head over to my favorite sports bar at half time on Sunday - but couldn't because I had just finished spending all my cash in the supermarket.

When hubby came home from work, during the 4th quarter, he handed me a 20 and asked if I wanted to mosey on over there. Prudence won over the desire to gloat.

I was there yesterday - and learned that it would not have been pretty for me to have shown my face!!! Everyone there knows how much of a Bucs fan I am - and they are all Eagles fans.........

[NormsRevenge]

[RottiBiz]

Does that sort of thing happen to you, too? LOL!

I have to go back and read your post #498 again.

Those Hollywood Squares' one-liners are priceless!

[Gabz]

And they've got the nerve to dump on cigarette smokers.

[RottiBiz]

Hi Grampa Dave,

$5,573 per month, up $1,377 (plus 33%)

305 Monthly Donors, up 84 (plus 38%)

We passed 300!

[RottiBiz]

Thanks for the bump, NormsRevenge.

No wonder we're all getting fat!

[EdReform]

It's good to see the number of monthly donors increasing!

To those Freepers and Lurkers who are still considering a donation to Free Republic, all donations are greatly appreciated and monthly donations really help.

Can you spare 17 cents per day? Great! Join Grampa Dave's Monthly Donors Team.

$5.00 per month too much right now? Consider MonroeDNA's $3.00 per month challenge (thanks to glock rocks for posting!).

Even your loose change can add up to a nice donation. Join Exit148's Loose Change Club (I just mailed in mine - see Reply 84 in Thread 4).

Please consider a donation to Free Republic today. Thank You for your support!
