If you haven't already noticed, I must bring this to your immediate attention:
Members of Jim's Fabulous FReepathon Team are dropping like flies, and it's not because we're not dedicated. We're tired, stressed and worn out, and some of us have serious health issues, and I'm the worst culprit!
I'm severely depressed; and under the care of a medical doctor and now a psychiatrist, too. I truly appreciate all of your prayers which humble me, and I hope with the new psychiartrist and the meds, that I can get to a "new normal," now that I'm without my most cherished Dr.O.
Our dearest TOL, (TheOldLady) is undergoing chemo therapy and her spirits are high and she's going to beat that incidious cancer, so please keep praying for her! I might add that depite her cancer she is still participating, as often as she can!
RedMDer is still grieving from the loss of his beautiful, lifetime, soul mate, Lynn, but he's been the ROCK of this FReepathon!
musicman's beautiful wife has undergone yet another surgery, but he comes by with his great graphics as often as he possibly can!
DJMacWow has more problems than anyone less strong could not possibly endure, let alone handle and try to solve.
Beautiful Lady Jag has always had her medical issues, and right now her computer is sick, sick, sick and virtually out of operation.
Our dearest Trisham is still grieving, and she's been sick, but she shows up almost daily!!!
Our bright spots are The Cajun, deoetdoctrinae, Meshuge Mikey, Swampsniper, bd476 and moose07 but they don't post the soreboard or the various lists.
My point is, that Jim went through a second amputation, too, and his beautiful Sheila just had her serious medical issues too, so if you're planning to donate, we only ask that you make your donation "sooner, rather than later" this month!"
Dearest Freepers, you are more than awesome and generous. You always come through for your beloved Free Republic!
You love and appreciate Free Republic as much as all of us.
We all know and recognize that we will eventually reach our goal, but 2 month long FReepathons are taking too much of a personal toll.
Our jobs are to thank you for your donations in a timely manner and to post amusing, informative graphics to hopefully entice you to make your donation! I personally feel so badly, (horrid in fact) when our FReepathon thread isn't properly manned, and like I said, I'm the worst culprit, because right now I'm losing my battle with depression.
Please, please, please, make YOUR Donation today, if you possibly can and please, please, please sign-up to Donate Monthly if you Possibly and reliably can!
We all LOVE Jim, FR and one another.
Please, please, please, help us get this FReepathon Done!
God bless and keep you all and everyone you love.

"You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil.
You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway.
So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them.
Actually it's quite fun to fight them, you know. It's a hell of a hoot.
It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up there with you.
I like brawling."
Marine General James MattisPanel discussion in San Diego, California (1 February 2005) as quoted in "General: It's 'fun to shoot some people'" CNN (4 February 2005)(For a more contextualized explanation of General Mattis' remarks, see this essay by one of the Marines who served under Mattis: "Breaking the Warrior Code" The American Spectator (February 11, 2005) by John R.

Hey there ole Onyx, Greetings from Alabama, I was sorry to hear about your health hurdles but I'm sure your getting a lot more than most Americans in perfect health. I'm in on this one. I'm sorry it is in such a modest way but things are tough here in Dixie too.
