I meant to post something last night, really, but we had a crisis involving the home cooling system suddenly not working and endangering my 89-year old mother (who has a history of heart failure). Thank G-d it's fixed now, but I realize just a prolonged power outage at the wrong time of year could be fatal.
Anyway, yes, today is my 20th anniversary as Free Republic's you-know-what in the punch bowl, as well as its most grumpy and offensive member. I first signed up to defend Israel from the freaking NAZIS who were infesting the site back then. Eventually I despaired, wrote my own opus, and left, but after 9/11 I came back. While this place is certainly much improved, there are still people here whose ability to get away with murder absolutely baffles me.
Back then I was on dial-up. I didn't get DSL until eight years later. But what a long, strange, and totally frustrating trip it's been.
I know I'm still pretty obnoxious, but nothing to what I was in the old days. It's a wonder I'm still around.
Just a word of thanks to Jim Rob for putting up with me for this long.
I still cannot understand why questioning the validity of the "new testament" in addition to previous Divine Revelation is so shocking. FCOL, if some of you folks had been around back then you'd have all rejected it because at that time "that stuff's not in the Bible."
I'll be here as long as I can, though I don't post anything like as frequently as I used to.
Happy 20th!!!
When I read that I double checked the poster to see if it was you.
I was thinking Sinkspur and Howlin’
You are certainly no Classy green eyed blonde...
Funny thing, but I was about to remind our Zionist friend that you’re still wearing the belt. It’s all good. Cheers!
Excuse me?
Cage Match!
Twenty year Bump.
20 years? Wow! First time I’ve ever seen your screen name. :)
I don’t know if either of you can ever catch up with A+Bert.
congrats and its very clear you are a good person!
thanks for your fine efforts
also,
with more and more power outages, and even power companies alerting customers of future deliberate mass-scale power shut-downs....
we’ve been looking into getting a little emergency power generator of some type, hopefully our first one won’t require doing any house wiring! maybe something we can at least plug a couple critical health or communications devices into directly (or a cooler for your Mom!).
Not sure what to get, tho.
Also, you can clear out the frozen peas and other UNNECESSARY stuff from your freezer... and stock it with cheap, simple, easy cooling...little ice (or coolant type) sacks. These retain their coolness for at least a few hours....would help with your Mom to have a few of these in the next power outage at your place. Easy, cheap, quick, and also you can just get canned peas (and a hand -cranked can opener , your Mom will remember what those looked like.. they’re still available from China on Amazon, ha ha)
All the best to you and your Mom!
I’m just glad you got your i and o keys fixed. Must be hard to spell your name Z*-n*st C-nsp*rat-r. :-)
happy anniversary and all the best to your mama :)
It was twenty years ago today,
Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
They’ve been going in and out of style
But they’re guaranteed to raise a smile.
Congratulations and God bless you and your mother!
Its a tie...lol
The pool is open! The water is still a little cloudy but we just added more chlorine so should be crystal clear by tomorrow morning. I got the chicken thighs already but almost out of tin foil so if you have any, please bring it over with you. Thanks!
There's a blast from the past. :-)
What a crock of horse manure... There is enough communist-inspired historical revisionism without you dragging it into FR... Take another hiatus...
