You Know You Are A Freeper When.....

You Know You Are A Freeper When......

You have family members post for you because you have lost all sensation in your right hand from to much mouse usage.

You aren't sure what this "daylight" thing is, but you know you haven't seen it since 1998.

You seriously think about ramming the car in front of you when you see a liberal bumper sticker.

You spend your time finding pictures of John Kerry & morph him into a two-headed ketchup alien.

You try to figure out a way to write a program that would allow you to make love with your spouse and read the breaking news at the same time.

When you and your spouse get into an argument it comes out "Removed by Admin. Moderator".

You asked for a wireless connection at your baby shower. Who needs a baby monitor? Watching the baby and posting is just FR practicality.

You have picked out not only your child’s name, but their screen name for future use at Free Republic.

You told your spouse you were pregnant by listing it under “Breaking News”.

You have shunned the Atkins Diet and chosen to go on the “Freeper” diet: Coffee, smokes, and target practice.

You want to sit in a cage at a PETA rally while smoking, eating a hamburger, drinking coffee and hand out Free Republic coffee mugs.

And last but not least……..

You know you are a married to a Freeper when you can talk about anything going on in the world, you display the American Flag with pride, and you pray for the Troops defending this great country. Chance 33_98, I love ya!

"You seriously think about ramming the car in front of you when you see a liberal bumper sticker."

Nice of you to list this one- I was in a car accident earlier today (haha). Maybe that should be on the list-"You know you're a Freeper when- your car gets sideswiped, your head hits the roof of the car, you suffer injuries to your head, neck, ribs and hand, the car gets towed- and you come home and check 'Breaking News'" :)LOL

You wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep because you dreamed someone pinged you and you're afraid you might miss something important if you don't check for new posts to you.
Man do you have me peged Do you do that too

[sweetliberty]

"Do you do that too"

And worse....I have the pager open all the time and my computer is on all the time when I am home so I will be in bed sometimes and hear the pager ping and I just can't go to sleep till I get up and check it out.

You know you're a Freeper when...

Saturday night: "One Tequila! Two Tequila! Three Teliqua! Floor!"

Sunday morning: "Oh, Noooo. Oh, pleeeease. Tell me I didn't stay sober long enough to post that... DID I???"

[sweetliberty]

Ping!

I'm somewhat of a newbie, but for me, yesterday was a good example.

This place is such a refuge. We just found out my dad has cancer, still waiting for the exact prognosis, but it is in his liver. He's in the process of getting more tests to see if it spread there from somewhere else. My dad has always been my hero, so these last few days have been the worst in my life.

I am just doing anything to try to take my mind off of things, so I got on here yesterday, and a thread caught my eye about President Bush's daughters and their dresses on Easter. It started out fairly normal, but there was a troll present, and the posts just got funnier and funnier. I would check it out throughout the day, and it continued into this morning. I don't think I have laughed so much in my life.

So besides being very informative, FR is a great place to be with friends who can make you smile when you need it most.

[SouthernClaire]

Goodness. Sorry to read what you're going through. May God see you and yours through. My prayers are with you.

Oh Lisa, I am so sorry for you and your dear father.
I am happy you found FR and you're a wonderful
addition. You fit right in from the start.
I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.

(Now that I got the mushy stuff outta the way)

You know you're a FReeper when you agree to spend 3 days rooming with 2 other FReepers you have never met or talked to except at FR.....and know you will get along just fine...........and then prove it!!!!!

[Gabz]

I knew it was bad when I looked for a phone cord instead of candles during the blackout *LOL*

I knew it was bad when I made preperations for power failures during the hurricane......laptop hooked up to the car battery, etc because of power failure............never planned for phone line failure and the lights staying on.....

So besides being very informative, FR is a great place to be with friends who can make you smile when you need it most.

I know exactly what you mean........This place has kept me going on more than one occassion when I needed it most. I will be keeping your dad in my prayers.
