Pink said to me recently, we've come a long way. So that set me reminiscing...
Who among us can forget that day in January when Girlene asked to be added to the Haditha Marine Ping List?
Or when lilycicero wondered what "ping" and "BTTT" meant (but hoped they were crude)?
Or when pinkpanther111 showed up and helped us find biographical material, or when she spread the word about the defense fund here and here?
All that got me thinking about some of our "firsts".
Like the first defense fund thread.
And the first posts by Darryl, Theresa (on our totally fun "A Haditha Marine Father Has a Question for Alan Colmes" thread), and Mrs W.
So I agree with pink (want to see her first post ever?), we have come a long way. And it's about time we said so! Also, with the SSgt Wuterich hearing coming up, I figured we could use a thread to just hang out when nothing else is happening. It beats FRmail--which sometimes gets a little hard to follow.
So here's to us and to seeing an end to this job we started!
Oh, “keep the tip” was the punchline! I thought you were just offering some random advice.
And the double posts? They’re your fault. I was bouncing around to “Atomic Dog”.
Thanks for the pings, just checking in quickly after a busy day. This looks like a fun thread, Red. I’ll check it out better in the morning. :)
(Switching to hand held. This is getting embarrassing!)
Night, pal! Catch you in the a.m.!
It’s your thread, you can do whatever you want.
Shhhh don’t say anything but Jaz is a saint.
Oh, I wish I could do that. I was trying to post Mary Katherine Gallagher’s picture all night. No luck.
I can’t stop you from leaving me.
Again.
Maybe I can wrestle my dad off the solitaire and use the pc.
You’d think the church would catch on to the sins of the skirt perps.
What is up with that Girlene? Are you Condoleeza?
Hey, let me join FR today and I am going to just pull tricothecene mycotoxins off the top of my head.
Also, ever wonder what Red’s first post was?
Did you just come back from the space station? Impressive that Girlene.
Get dad on Free Republic! I bet he could post some pictures you’d rather not have us see. Let’s start with prom night!
Like my dad can post a picture? Their microwave is from when I was in high school. It’s bigger than a TV.
Mom is canning tomatoes, there’s no time for FR.
Thornbirds? “Desire. Passion. Scandal.” And dancing to “Atomic Dog”.
I was not a chalice chipper, but our priest was a honey.
No scandal. No passion.
Girl, lily and I went window shopping and picked out the cutest outfit for you today. Leopard-spot-pattern top, frilly two-layer skirt, cowboy boots, and a little pink tote.
Just in case you were feeling the love and didn’t know why.
