Monthly Challenge/Freeper Convention Ticket Drawing!

More Monthlies Needed!!

If we had enough monthlies to cover our costs we wouldn't even need to hold FReepathons or, in the very least, they'd run a lot faster. If you are a regular donor to Free Republic, please consider starting a monthly. Your donations will be processed automatically by our program or through PayPal.

If you are not a regular donor to Free Republic but find our website fun, useful and informative, please consider becoming a regular donor. Start a monthly if you can.

And if you start your monthly this month (or increase your current monthly) please let me know by FReepmail and we'll include your name in a drawing to be held at the end of this month for TWO tickets to our National Convention in Washington, D.C. on Sept 11 through 13.

We now have EIGHTTEEN new or increased monthlies in the drawing and would like to add YOUR name. If your name is drawn, you can use the tickets yourself or give them away to others.

Woo hoo!! Hope to see you in DC!!

Darlin, if you can't get them Freepers to pony up, you just let big Momma know.  I'll come down there an lift em by their ankles and shake that change on outa there!

Hump ump uh...  why I never!


Freepers, I mean seriously.  Get the lead out.

In the meantime, here's another 100% bump for the 14% that's in.  Thanks to everyone who has helped out so far.  A special thanks to those who have been on the monthlies list, or have
just signed up for monthlies or to increase them.  Very nice.  Can't wait till we get to the point to add those in.  It's always great to see the tracked donations skyrocket once that happens.

I hope so..

We just got back from vacation up to Alaska and back a few weeks ago. I’m ready to go back. :-] Pretty place.

[Brad's Gramma]

A stately female, she....

[DoughtyOne]

Looks like an M-14 had it's way with a cross between a badger and a violyn and this was the furry offspring.

Honey, call around. You may be able to salvage the head, but I'd get estimates before I committed to it. Anything over say $11.75 and it may be a wasted effort.

Just kidding ladies...

[DoughtyOne]

My wife and I have have had the same idea, to visit that is. It sure looks beautiful from what I’ve seen. Good for you.

[Brad's Gramma]

Ask your psychologist if you & I can go out tonight and get plastered.

Please note that I am NOT the drinker I used to be, so by the end of 1/4 of the first glass of beer, I’d be asleep and snoring so perhaps this is a bad idea and let’s just scratch that over & out good buddy!

[DoughtyOne]

Sound like a plan made and thought better of. LOL

Over and out. I am thinking one Coor Lite might no be a bad idea right now though.

Here’s to you Brad’s Gramma.

[Brad's Gramma]

As I lift my glass of Skim Milk to you, too!

Cheers!

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Another Monthly From Minnesota!!!

Aghast?

I’ll show you aghast!

That's good D1. For some reason though it reminds me of a childhood rhyme/taunt with England and France as the locales.

... never mind. :D
