You got that right

Not one person on this forum who can’t spare 100 bucks a year or five bucks a month etc

If they can’t they should be working instead of harping on here 24/7

Hey onyx

I just gave and I’m.a monthly donor, but if I can scrape up some more can you post another jpeg of your Louie?

Can we have a Louie ping list? If it wasn’t for my insomnia, I would have missed this thread and the photo.

He IS precious ! So many antics of our babies. Left two of my babies in while Inran to town. Heat advisory and I knew I’d be back in less than an hour. They must have started before Car was out of drive. Completely emptied all trash cans. Check open a new box of treats and ate half (there was food in dish). Tigger is the baby. She was left on doorstep during Christmas season. Brindle boxer mix. Smart and active so she gets most of the blame She was also the first to offer her paw and kisses. Pets ! What would we do without them

Some of you prolific Trump haters are sure taken up a lot of bandwidth with not much contribution.

Just sayin’.

Thank You! There are a lot of leeches who think their words are payment enough. They seem to keep missing the FReepathon logos spread around and also miss the ones i provide for their convenience:

Donate to Cruz

Donate to FR

I didn't take it as a slap at you - he just used your handy post to make a general statement.

I've been doing it for a while and have had a few who weren't intended targets think I was slamming them.

Do you know where I learned that?

One time I went to a Gaither concert, and one of the singers said he noticed a lot of us up here using the expression “Bless his heart”. He said, “Down South, that has a special meaning, it means ‘what an idiot’.”

Unfortunately, I now know what my Southern grandma meant when she said that about me.

Get him a nice dog bone. Not a rawhide chewtoy, a real one, with marrow in it. Maybe lay in a supply of rawhide chewies for once he gets the hang of it.

Also, maybe you could raise up all your PC gear to a shelf level, above and out of his reach.

I'm not advocating that anybody that participates here be shamed for not contributing monetarily. On the other hand, these seemingly non-stop Freepathons are starting to make this website look like PBS. I'm almost expecting to see Jerry Lewis show up here!

Just thinking out loud here, I know that the Freepathons happen each quarter and the current quarterly target to keep the bills paid is $88,000. Divide that among the active Freepers and it might not add up to very much at all.

I have no idea how many Freepers post/lurk here on a regular basis but let's say that number is 5,000. So $88,000 divided by 5,000 equals $17.60 - a quarter. Or just over $5 a month.

Now I'm thinking $5 a month is affordable for most people who use this site.

So my gentle suggestion to the powers that be at Free Republic would be to allow a quarterly recurring donation so that people can donate quarterly - which will be timed with each Freepathon. Currently, the donation options are only "one time" and "monthly". I'm thinking the monthly option might be a bit too much for some people. But a quarterly option would allow them to contribute to each Freepathon automatically and they even if they only give $5 a quarter ($20 a year), it will definitely help drive that number and end the Freepathons a lot quicker.

Lastly, I have a suggestion to make the screen names of all recurring donators appear on this forum in red. Reason for that is to give recognition in the forum for who do make a regular recurring contribution - no matter how small (but we might want to establish a $5 minimum). As soon as the recurring contributions stop, the screen name goes back to black.

Another reason for this is so that people can see right away if their automated donations stop because a credit card number expired or something. Once you set up a recurring payment, it's easy to forget about it and not realize when it stops due to your credit card expiring or renewing with a different number.

I also think many people would do that $5 donation, if just to see their screen name turn red.

Maybe it's a dumb idea and maybe some will take offense to it because they will see it as "shaming" but there you go. I'm just trying to help the cause here, because it is concerning to me that it now takes nearly the full three months to get the quarterly goal - which means we are now in perpetual Freepathon mode.

Just checking; 124 freepers donated anonymously.

Your thoughts?

Great ideas, all!

Thank you very much for taking the time to put all these thoughts into words here.

I’m in total agreement.
