Free Republic has saved me from feeling very alone many times. I was living in US Virgin Islands, Bill and Hillary were dancing on the beach-My first barf alert, a week later I found Free Republic. I moved to Florida just in time for 2000 election-Palm Beach Co.... I had left my computer in the Islands, so I was going to the library to get Freeper news.I want thank so many of you for esp. Jim and John for the great work you do. My apologies for lurking for so long.12/03Moved North again way Northern NY. My first real snow storm in over twenty years. I’m trying to get directway because dialup is so slow and only thing available here. It took me 7 weeks to get a phone line installed. I went through freeper withdrawl.
