Actually I was in SC (Myrtle Beach) just this past weekend. We had a blast.
Must have been another FReeper you're thinking of. I know there is a mykidsmom because I tried for that name and it was taken. I've never seen her post though.
I've been to a lot of NC FReeper activities and have always had a great time. My hubby has been to several things too. He's just quieter than I am. We will have a great time I'm sure.
Is your tagline correct? Are you planning on coming up here to Fayetteville on the 20th? If so then I'll get to meet you that day. Looking forward to it.

Diotima, chairman of the Free Republic Network, organizes these programs every year and they're always a highlight of the voyage.
We meet in a private salon. Over hot coffee and with a view of the waves rolling past the room's windows, we have short informational speeches, perhaps a video, and certainly, lots of open discussion and exchanges of ideas among freepers from all corners of our country.
There's no doubt that the topics this year will include the looming presidential race, the Dimocrat convention, Kerry, the Hildabeest, constitutional amendments, immigration policies, you name it. All your favorite subjects and people, hah!
We expect Bob J will speak on FRN's great new internet radio adventure, RightTalk.
Whatever the topics, we'll be on the cutting edge. What a terrific opportunity to talk politics with knowledgeable folks other than your liberal in-laws.
Everyone participates in the meeting's discussion period. If you want to take the mike and expound, it's all yours. Last cruise, conversations continued at various tables even though the program was long over. No one wanted to leave, but the stewards were removing the cups and the Lido deck lunch buffet was beckoning.

Or is it bound over the bumping main?

For those who have always wanted to experience a delicious cruise at least once in a lifetime, I strongly suggest booking for FReeps Ahoy 3 this week.
Fares on all cruise lines will rise rather sharply next year. In fact, many already have risen considerably in the past couple weeks. People are getting back to tourism again after the drought following 9/11. Demand is high for cruises because they're virtually free from planning-headaches and are a safe, secure and comparatively reasonable vacation venue for those who want to travel somewhere attractive other than a week at the liberal in-laws house in Peoria.
The pent-up demand is setting the higher rates. Our group-rates obtained in November are locked in for our late-May cruise and that's a blessing. You'll know right now what your week's vacation will cost and that's a blessing also.

Mr. JimRob was invited on this cruise but sent his regrets and thanks. His schedule precludes it this year. He wishes us a heartfelt bon voyage.
As policy, the cruise committee never lists who's going on cruises. Cruisers generally announce on the thread if they're going and we encourage them to do so. But it's their choice. However, surfing the cruise thread will pretty much show you most of the famous, witty and good lookin' freepers who have signed up so far.
I see you're from a northern state. Brrrr. I'm from Illinois and I ought to know. Sign on for this cruise and sail away on the Zuiderdam for tropical sun, balmy starlit evening breezes, warm azure waters, hot gourmet meals.....and enjoy Hellfire Coconut Mango Rum Belly Blasters......while you and new freeper friends soak up the last of the setting-sun's rays high on a lofty deck by the crow's nest.
Whew! How's them apples....er, mangos.....?

Does this newsgroup support any particular candidate solely? So many issues so little time!
Where can I donate to this fantastic site if funds become available in the future?
This upcoming election is pivotol and I will be spending the afternoon reading Free Republic as I am unsure what party affiliation I am. So I need to delve in the issues.
As long as you are conservative in your political leanings, you should fit in fine here.
Does this newsgroup support any particular candidate solely? So many issues so little time!
This site is mostly pro-Bush, but, like I said, as long as you don't support someone like John F. Kerry or Ralph Nader, you'll be fine. hehe
Enjoy your stay! Plenty to read and learn here!
