[The Thin Man]

That's scarey!

[dansangel]

I miss you, too (((((MEG)))))

Life sometimes has a way of interfering with FReeping. :-(

Billie, thank you for arranging this "Coffee with The Mayor".

What an interesting coffee it has been! I am just absolutely astounded at the parallels between my family and yours, Rus!

I was born in Framingham a few years before you were born in Hopkinton. But, the coincidence becomes even more amazing than this. The reason I was born in Framingham is because my family lived in Ashland and there was no hospital there. My mother and my maternal grandparents lived in Ashland, in a house on Main Street. My grandfather worked for Telechron for many years there. I am sure that my mother and her parents would have known your grandparents. Everyone knew everyone in Ashland.

My mother lives with us now and I have been talking to her this morning about your coming from Hopkinton. She's been telling me about the age-old rivalry between Ashland HS and Hopkinton HS and the Thanksgiving Day football games that she ALWAYS attended. Her screen name is Grammy Bear. I am going to do my best to get her to log on and tell you some of her recollections about her growing up in Ashland. She says that her uncle (her mother's brother) married a "Ruth Stearns" who's family lived up by the Old Mill Pond in Ashland. That would make their son my second cousin. Could it be possible that our family trees intersect somewhere?

We probably should carry on this family reunion via freepmail, so I will have Grammy Bear freepmail you later today.

Gosh, I have known you on the Finest thread forever and had no idea that our families came from the same place and probably knew each other. What are the odds of this kind of coincidence!? This has just made my day. :-)

Big hugs to you cousin (((((((Rus))))))))! ;-)

(((((((((Billie, Dansy, Dutchess, Aqua)))))))))) Have a wonderful day!

LOL - Love your graphic!

I have a *secret* - even though I consider myself a Floridian because I spent most of my adult life there and love it so much (my stint in GA is just an unfortunate pit stop - lol) I was born in MA (ugh!) .45MAN was born in Portland, ME but grew up in Worcester, MA. He was *always* a conservative Republican, overcoming his surroundings. Unfortunately, I had to outgrow my bad influences.

I really feel you and other conservatives *will* prevail. The silent majority has had its fill of the drooling, leftist, liberal shenanigans. You *go* Rus! :-)

[Billie]

A happy Friday to you, Billie. I think this is one of your better efforts even though you misspelled missile (missle), links to previous threads are off center and I think the "topper" is missing (whatever that is). :-)

Three little words for you, T Man. (and they're not "I love you.")  :)
Kiss My Gri-uts!

....misspelled missile (missle)....Rus, are you going to come to my rescue here? Geez! I forgot to proof one little sentence. LOL!

[Billie]

Morning, Free - yes, the flag on that house before it was even finished says a lot for our Mayor. :)

[MEG33]

The vowel thief struck again.Even the Thin Man can surely understand that!

[Billie]

I think it's neat the way you take one of the graphics and add your own touch to it!

[Billie]

If you're not real careful, Miss Billie just might show you what a missing topper is . . . .

DING! DING! DING! Way to go, Freezie.....

[Billie]

Yay, Temple! Thank you! FR's where it's at!

[Billie]

Free: If you're not real careful, Miss Billie just might show you what a missing topper is . . . .

T Man: She wouldn't dare!

Yeah, I would.

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

And it WASN'T missing.....not today anyway! LOL

[Billie]

The vowel thief struck again.Even the Thin Man can surely understand that!

Nah! He would be so disappointed if he couldn't find something to complain about. :) (Surely you understand that by now!) LOL!

((((((((((((Meg))))))))))))

[Billie]

Good morning to you, Sistah! Will be glad when *your* schedule lets up too! :( Maybe I should offer you and Dansy a raise so you could quit your jobs and be here fulltime. LOL! Do we need Diver to broker for you? :)

[eleni121]

HI Mayor!

What an excellent way to end my liberally saturated week.

When is western NY going to get back their freeper cell? I will provide the venue if others help out as well.

And...what's your take on the elections in WNY this week?

[Billie]

Dutchess: Billie...beautiful job as always

Freezie: I don't even bother to say that anymore! I think "Billie" means "Beautiful graphics" in Malaysian or something . . . .

LOL! Ok, raise for you, too, Freezie! :)

Thank you both for always saying the nicest things - to everyone. Love you, Sistahs!

[Billie]

Billie, thank you for arranging this "Coffee with The Mayor".

Welcome! Way interesting about the birthplaces, etc. the two of you have in common!

[MEG33]

I am aware...;)Mercy is a beautiful thing,though.

[Billie]

Thanks for coming to say hello to The Mayor this morning, eleni!

[The Thin Man]

Looks like you and the shysterette have a disagreement on the meaning of a "topper." Maybe that explains why her threads are the way they are.

:-)

[The Mayor]

Dear Billie,

Your wonderful profile of me dear 'usband Rus brought tears to my eyes! He's the most hard-working, honest, passionate, principled and underappreciated man I know...it's very comforting to know he has such good friends.

With love and deep gratitude,

The Mayor's Wife
