I used to be able to hover over my name to see my length here. now it doesn't seem as easy. Am I wrong? Any old school Freepers still hop in here? OMG It just said Freepers is an Unknown topic!!!

jerod - Since Feb 17, 1998

The Clinton/Lewinsky scandal drew me in... I’ve been here ever since and I think you can still blame Bill and Hillary Clinton for just about everything that’s gone wrong in society since they showed up on the radar... They are dastardly and evil beyond reproach.

Found this site during the Bush-Gore protests.
It was quite confusing time, nobody really knew what to do.
Free Republic turned out to be the best site for info, and where to go to protest.

My husband, 1John, joined before me, and did the Freeper fundraisers until his sudden death in 2002.

I joined the same day after 9/11. A couple of years later, I decided to use a different name, and had to start from scratch.

I’ve been here a mere TWENTY-TWO YEARS, since 2004. I can’t remember what drew me here, but THANK GAWD I found you all!

That’s about the time I joined. I lurked for years, before posting. Lots of the oldtimers have passed. I miss their posts.

I used to be able to scroll down the BIRTH YEAR dropdown menus to find my incarnation date

alas, those prehistoric years are no longer displayed

or else it takes more than 15 minutes to reach them?

We don’t grow older, we grow wiser.
I am on my 4th incarnation of Free Republic.
This was me way back in 2000:
https://freerepublic.com/~error99/index?U=https%3A%2F%2Ffreerepublic.com%2Ffocus%2Fmy%2F

...lost passwords, dead computers later
My current incarnation has been here since 2006.

“We don’t grow older, we grow wiser.”

I am 79.

My body tells me we grow older.

I joined in late summer 1998, with another screenname. Then I lapsed for a bit. By the time I was ready to come back I had not only lost the password for my account, I had lost access to the email address I'd registered with. I created a new username (but I didn't want to).

So, I go all the way almost 28 years. Class of '98 when the Lewinsky mess was going on.

Looking down the list of links on the old Drudge Report is what brought me here.
