My 25th FRAnniversary today
Self ^ | 11/9/2025 | Self

Posted on 11/09/2025 7:17:33 PM PST by CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC

Nov 9, 2000 I created my first & only account on FR, after a few years of merely lurking. The urge to post grew too strong to resist joining. Easily the best www-related decision I've ever made!
My sister Mollynme discovered FR first and alerted me to it. (She succumbed to cancer 8-1/2 yrs ago).

Unfortunately, today I learned of the passing of another Freeper who was with me and 8 or 10 others from the Fall of 2000 until at least 2006, in a faithful group who engaged in street corner activism, each of us making our own signs/posters: Former residents of Johnstown CO - WeldGOPHardline & his wife FireEngineRed (she had bright red hair) - moved out of state a few years ago, and her health later went seriously downhill. She just died this morning. How sad it happened on my 25 FRanniversary.

I guess the lesson here is that Freepers get old & sick too, just like everyone else.

Election Day 2000 was held November 8.

Bush/Cheney
Gore/Lieberman

Florida…
Recounts…

Remember all that?

The timing may have something to do with people joining FR…

I wasn’t even old enough to vote! 😳

Prayers for her and her family.

“Election Day 2000 was held November 8.”

“The timing may have something to do with people joining FR…”

Now that you mention it, it was three weeks after that when I signed up. Lurked a couple of years prior, and was on Lucianne then.
