You joined on June 22, 2006.

I finally signed up on Nov. 29, 2000, during Gore's attempt to steal the Florida electoral votes (and with it the election), but I had been lurking since about the middle of March 1998. I didn't attend the March for Justice but managed to watch it on C-SPAN.

I signed up in 2004 so that makes marks me at 16 going on 17. God willing I might just make 20!

I forgot to post on my 20th. Nov. 24. That was in the middle of a big election problem as well. Hope this one goes the same way.

Welp, this is a bit off topic but it seemed as good of a place as any to mention it, I hope to hear of others like myself that will be in DC this Saturday to March for Trump. Gen. Flynn is slated to speak in front of the Supreme Court.

Sounds about right.

But, it was the second time.

I originally joined around 1998 and found Drudge through FR.

after GW was elected I lost interest and when I returned, I couldn’t remember my original handle

So, I became Vendome the Vainglourious...

My story is the same. Rush suggested that freezers were crazy and that held me back a couple years.

Congratulations on 20 years! I hit 20 years in September and now 9,600 comments. My pet peeves are the apostrophes you mentioned and:

Affect/Effect

Imply/Infer

Loose/Lose

Could care less

I try not to correct people, but depending on how many beers I've had I sometimes can't resist. :-)

I hit 20 this past October. Thanks to Jimrob and the rest of the FR family for keeping FreeRepublic going.

Btw...my pet grammer grievances are “one of the only” (it’s “one of the few” or “the only”, starting a sentence with “so” (so should be eliminated from the language), and using “loose” instead of “lose”.

I was 21 years in July.....but was a lurker almost from the day FR started.....just took me a while to join.

No, I’m not going anywhere either.

Congrats.

I was going to post how the only thing I don’t like about FR is you and your incessant nagging like a pathetic lonely old woman. Looks like you did it for me.

Now, put $5 in the kitty to pay for the vanity, n00b.

It's best to ignore Humblegunner. Your IQ will decrease by a point or so every time you read one of his posts.

Does anyone at FR know what happened to Miss Marmelstein?
She was a frequent poster with a snappy style and strong opinions. Strong supporter of Trump but like to tangle with other Freepers a lot. Always an interesting read.

She disappeared last March. No Opus given.

If bubblegummer is the only thing you don’t like about FR, it’s your own fault. Some of these articles are depressing and infuriating. An election is being stole before our eyes and you focus your ire towards the Patron Saint of Bloggersville. He’s like Santa Claus spreading cheer to those who want it. Also I notice you post sober. Too sober to appreciate the finer things in life.
