Two decades on Free Republic! Thanks for an amazing journey that I hope is far from over.

So there I was on the Drudge Report because of the Monica scandal where I saw the link and clicked on it. I found myself on a chat site full of smart, mature people and interesting articles and conversations. I lurked for a few days then signed on November 1st, 1998. It's been an eventful two decades since. I got married, had a son, moved to Massachusetts, got divorced and made a run for the border where I now live in New Hampshire. My son attends American University in Washington, DC where he is a top student.

Oh, and this happened!

I'm the big guy in the green shirt.

Looking back to Monica Lewinsky scandal, it was all stupid. Now my opinion is “who cares?”

Since FR started 20 years + ago, maybe we should just have a 20 year birthday thread every day.

Or week.

I’m celebrating too. I signed up November 1, 1998 - 20 years ago today - after lurking for a while.

It looks like a lot of us signed up then and probably found our way here because of Drudge.

Congratulations!!

Today is 18 years for me...just before the whole Sore-Loserman/FloriDUH situation arose.
