Dear members of Free Republic

Please allow me to introduce myself. I am a retired person living in Malta. Over the years, I have lived and worked on four continents: Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. My time in the US was memorable for many reasons, but not least because I came to admire its tradition and loyal people, and to despise those who seemed determined to tear it down.

For the past two years, I have visited this site, and found much that agrees with my own experience. Finally, I have decided to join. My user name is that of the Scottish author of "Thrift", a virtue that seems to be vanishing from the US, and that perhaps needs to be rediscovered. I am unfamiliar with the conventions of your discourse, so please correct me (gently) if I set a foot wrong.

Thank you, Samuel Smiles.

Welcome.

I will say that I hope you have thick skin. People do disagree on these forums.

Never happen around here, all corrections are met with a hugh pile on. Just remember, never read the full story prior to shooting from the hip in your response, them there is the rules.

Sounds like you could have retired anywhere in the world. Why Malta?

>>> I am unfamiliar with the conventions of your discourse

If you REALLY have to post a vanity (usually not a good idea), whatever you do DON’T post it in breaking news.

Beware the guard kittens.... Quite Viscous... and yet so entertaining.

Above all, grow a thick skin!
