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!
Ping away, Red. You know I love kitties.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That is funny!
Did you create the caption?
I’d pick a “old” cat over a kitten any day.
I like the ladybug bomb.
Me, too.
Have you ever heard of Science Olympiad?
Indeed, O Perfumed One.
I was going to do a book on the subject once. I became totally obsessed with marshmallow catapults.
Marble mazes and egg parachutes, too.
WOW....you do know. I didn’t know until a few wks ago what Science Olympaid is about.
Sorry I left ya hangin out in the green room. Space for rent...good one (again)
I got kicked of the computer because somebody needed it for homework...sheesh....cutting in to my social hr.
Can I get a tour of this place? I haven’t quite figured it out yet.
Welcome to Free Republic, Scut. You found us, looks like you’re doing fine. What do you want to know?
First let me extend to you my regards to what you have done.
You mentioned something about an alert list, put me down.
Don’t alert me to any sissy stuff either. I didn’t invent petty, so don’t be with me. Send me in the right direction.
You’re a tough one, ScuttlebuttTickler. I admire that in an anonymous poster.
Okay, I will keep you abreast.
I think the waiting is getting to me.
Good thing it's latex.
What? Lily, looks like you’re going to have to keep an eye out on Red. He’s turning Green.
UHbubbbuhb....the paint right?
