Wow...you are a "newbie" to Free Republic. WELCOME! This site has kept many of us sane through all the ups and downs over the years!

John's essays are the best (and are always great fun to illustrate). We feature one every Thursday on the FR Finest thread (where there is a link on the homepage) in case you want to review some of his earlier ones.

Hi Freezie. Cute calendar. I just LOVED John's essay today!

I've heard him on the radio, Dr Keyes is awesome.

[Donaeus]

Thank you for the warm welcome, I feel very much at home and will stop by often! Thrilled to be an official FreeRepublic resident. :)

Great looking group here.

I just talked to me friend with the bad foot and she didn't have to get up to take something for foot pain last night. Went walking all over Home Depot yesterday. Her foot hurt before the shoes just going in & out of the grocery store.

We went to the shoe store when we left the grocery store. Always backward!

Welcome to FR, Doneaus!

This is an oasis, for sure...good people...who are telling me to quit doing the war news. Not sure what to make of that. (^;

[Donaeus]

*proudly wears the newbie hat* Thank you for the hospitality, great to be here! I wish I'd found ya'll a whole lot sooner because I can sure use a healthy dose of sanity.

Sounds like I have a lot of catching up to do but it will be a real pleasure. :)

[Donaeus]

Thank you Ragtime Cowgirl. :) I really like your handle but how could someone from Texsus not?

Hmmmm, I don't know what to think of that either but please don't stop.

Very sad news to report, but please make your comments on the thread linked below. Dansy is vacationing this week, but checked her mail today and only then got the news from Lynne's sister. Howlin has posted more information at this link. Thank you.

LBGA Prayer Thread - Lynne passed away Tuesday afternoon

Cal, great posts every day, but I think you've outdone yourself today! :) Thank you for adding so much to the Finest, especially today!

Seems I've only been here today to deliver bad news, but I've scanned the posts today and have seen some wonderful stuff.

Also a new FReeper - wonderful! I'd like to welcome you, too, Donaeus, and hope we'll be seeing lots more of you.

Cal, thanks for posting the Rottis! Pretty much introduces most of our hosts and writers and guest writers!

[MeekOneGOP]

Thanks for the heads up, Billie. So sad.

Rest in peace, Lynne ...

[MeekOneGOP]

Yes! Welcome to FreeRepublic.com !!

[lonestar]

Another worth at least 2-bits!

I usually don't get to read these until later in the day. Gives me something to look forward to reading in the evening.

[MeekOneGOP]

And I see you fly the Texas flag also. Alright!

[windchime]

Bump!

[dutchess]

I will make the comment on the other thread...but also here...LBGA...so glad to have known you. May you rest in the Lord's arms... Prayers for your children and family.

[JohnHuang2]

Thanks, my friend
