I am fairly new here, so I am just wondering what it was like at FR in 2000.
Thanks. I don't know why but for some reason I thought it had something to do with DU and their constant misspelling of words and their conspiracy theories. LOL
I didn't know about FR back then, so I spent most of my immediate post election days on msnbc etc. trying to stay on the news. If I had been a freeper back then, I probably would have died from sleep deprivation.
Thanks. I might get up enough courage to post sometime. I guess I couldn't do any worse than some people.
Yeah but I hate looking stupid and I guess I do it really well. LOL

Oh dear, I love to talk about 2000. It was unreal and horrifying but wonderful in a crazy way.
Just back up what you say with fact and you will do fine.
Besides dignity is overrated. :)
I really hope you are correct.
What are you whinging about... I had to scratch my responses into the screen on my laptop, and snail-mail the whole thing to jimrob ;)
well to be specific to the youngster who needs war stories:
We watched tv around the clock almost losing our jobs. We called in sick. We watched every damn chad on Cspan in Florida. Remember the woman with the long fingernails.
We ate junk, snickers and m and ms, we called for carryout, we ignored our children, some thought of putting them out for adoption, we freeped and watched all day every day.
We had one hilarious mind bending thread, the women that is, of how to garden, watch the recount, freep and have sex at the same time {we may have all been drunk.}
Nobody showered for days, no kidding, and I set a personal record of not flossing for 8 straight days.
Our husbands were insane by the end of it.
We made enduring friendships. I still see people from that time and get a warm feeling, the old gang.
We really need a reunion. It was exilirating. One nite I emailed everyone in the armny, navy and so on when the military vote was in danger listing all my ancestors who had fought for this country.
And the nite the Supremes ruled, I couldn't for the life of me tell what it meant.
It was supremo experience.
Your trying to get me killed, right? LOL
A+Bert was here then.
You really think those discharge papers will out?
Pictures?
Wow! I didn't have a computer back then but that sounds like my love affair with the television. I went to bed waiting for the totals from Fla. Then I woke up suddenly; just bolted upright in bed, jumped up and ran in the LR and turned on the tv. It said Bush wins presidency. I remember being so happy. Then they showed Gores motorcade going to make his concession speech, then the long delay where he didn't come out on the stage and then the announcement and then a 36 day nightmare began.
Hon, you have to understand. None of us had showered, flossed, washed our hair, done a single chore in weeks. We were exhausted from cspan watching all nite. We were ignoring our obligations of all kinds. We were not exactly party girls if you get my drift. We were one step up from looking like, actually living in homeless shelters. It was the most mind boggling thing I have ever done and I have done alot in my life.
Crazy with polls. Moreso than now wrt poll-loopoomania.
