I posted this under general/chat category "wierd stuff" where it belongs ...
I've been on here since 1998, in these past 12 years I've changed alot. I became deathly ill only to make myself better through natural means. I even had 3 children since 1998 as well.
When I first joined I had just had my eyes opened to Christianity and to the real Christ, having previously voted for Clinton in 92 I realized I was very wrong in my thoughts and started voting Republican. But now, 12 years later I have learned even more, enough to know to stop investing time in this arena.
We have our pinewood derby car race this weekend for scouting, our cars are fast, should be a good race. To be honest, I really don't care about politics anymore. Jesus didn't waste his time on it and niether will I. Not saying I wont vote, I will.
Anyway, the FR has been great fun, and daily I actually laughed out loud reading the quips from posters, very witty stuff. I just wanted to say thank you to the FR for 12 years.
This part of my life is being closed down so that I can spend this time on other things.
- Scythian out
PS: That means you can rip me to shreds now in proper FR style, LOL, you guys are awesome and Good Luck ...
“Politics ain’t beanbag: ‘tis a man’s game, and women, children ‘n’ pro-hy-bitionists had best stay out of it.”
You had a good run, enjoy your kids and your life. Maybe we’ll see you again, but if not, good luck.
There’s more “I”’s in that opus than an Obama speech!
Good luck Scythian...take care.
Well, goodbye (in the original meaning, God be with you). I don’t recall crossing paths on any threads.
May St. Andrew, the First-Called Apostle, intercede for you.
(Since he preached to your screen name’s antecedents in the Crimea and environs, he seems particularly appropriate.)
You have really young kids, so I can understand your wanting to spend more time with them, very good choice. Good luck with the Pinewood Derby, we had a lot of fun with that, we had really fast cars, my son took first place three years in a row (2006, 2007 and 2008), and he did this without cheating at all, so I can share some tips with you if you want. I can’t speak for everyone, but as for me, you will be missed.
You forgot your basic grammar rule: 'i' before 'e' except after 'c'
Uhh... huh. No you didn't... Mmm, that's weird.
Wait we still have to fix your early child abuse, your fashion choices, your bad eating habits, your nose picking, your money problems, and that twitch.
>>Any Freepers out there with a waist larger than 34”?<<<
Before or after age 18? ;)
Well, time marches on and people change, as do priorities. That said, you may want to pop back in from time to time, when something good (or bad) happens. This is, as you know, a dandy place to get information.
You're kidding, right?
You didn’t tell us that. Sounded like you were just giving up on everything.
Glad to see you’re still participating though.
We need all the help we can get !
I understand completely.
I've done the same thing a couple of times on a temporary basis. So far I haven't felt free before God to totally walk away from political involvement ... even though I have wanted to.
Different callings for different people. Different priorities for different seasons.
I’m not really going to miss all the anti-vaccination, anti-pitbull ownership, Apollo hoax nonsense, but I hope you’ll stop ignoring the impact politics can have on your personal life at some point before they go as far as nationally restricting homeschooling, ammunition ownership, or other make some other end-of-the-country power grab.
Jesus went directly after the power brokers when he turned their tables over and reminded them to keep their dirty money changing hands out of a religious venue......
Good luck in the derby, love up those kids and spouse and many xxxxxxxxxxxx's and oooooooooooooooooo's to one brilliant FReeper.
Jesus was involved in soap box derbies? Hmmm...nah...just kidding. Hey...I enjoyed your posts over the years and wish you the best. Haven’t seen an opus in a while...we both joined in ‘98.
Bye Scythian,have fun with the kids.When you have time come back.Love to see the pics of the race car.((((Hugs))))Fatima
The party groupies from both camps are enough to make one recoil in disgust.
