The End is Near

Let's go, people! (Don't you hate when people address you as "people"?)

Admin Mod: If you take this out of Front Page News, I'll stop my donations and write an opus. Just be glad I didn't put it in Breaking.

This FReepathon has gone on long enough. I bet three-quarters of all the people who click on this thread are freeloaders, er, uh, I mean people who have not donated yet.

You know you love FR. You know it is the best source of breaking news, interesting commentary, and camaraderie on the Internet.

So what are you waiting for? I know what you are thinking: you have a few bucks to give, but you want to stay anonymous. Here's a tip: they don't give a damn who you are, they just need a few of your dollars to pay for stuff to keep FR online.

Why not do what I do. I promised to pay $10 a month. Big deal, 10 bucks. Each month they email me a reminder, and I print it out and toss it in my pile of bills. Then while I am paying other bills, I write a check to FR for $10.

Now how easy is that? You could do it, and you know it. Ten bucks. Or five. Whoop-tee-do. You'll never miss it. And you'll feel damn good about it, too.

I am going to keep bumping this thread until the bar turns green and the fireworks come out. So click the damn link below and pay up, er, uh, I mean donate to FR.

The last thing I'm gonna do is waste bandwidth and bump a thread like this.

Alright Freddie.

Freddie the Freeloader.

But don't have them change your screen name, because you're going to feel damn good when the day comes that you donate to FR.

Okay, so, instead of just a boring bump, how about a weather report?

It's -1F at my house now, and that's without the wind chill.

I live in Massachusetts.

Just happened to come across this thread...for the purposes of friendly discussion, here goes:

I'm in the Hudson Valley of New York, where it is now 2F at 9:30 pm, with a forecast low of -10F.

Global warming my a$$.

Oooo, that is mighty cold. Now I have -3F, down 2 since I posted last.

Anyone else with a weather report, while we wait for the freeloaders to click the donate link?

I gave up my pager and joined the dollar-a-day club. If things get tight, I'll make everyone take shorter showers.

*Sigh*

First quarter FReepathons are a bitch. Worst time of the year for me. Perhaps a trip to the "Coin Star" is in order, here.

I love the CoinStar machine. But hey, don't break the bank if it's a bad time.

So, how's the weather where you are?

Has Henry Hudson's ghost crew been bowling lately?

A lot of people just donate $5. That's all it would take, if every freeper did the same...

I posted the following one week ago, and mailed out the money-as promised-the next day.

To: All
Just a little note about me. I am a single mother of two beautiful children. I have been looking for work since October to provide for them. My ex husband was ordered to pay $150.00 a month in child support, and is behind by about 10 months now. I have been living off unemployment for 3 months.

I am not saying this to gain sympathy from anyone. I am saying this because I am dropping $10.00 cash-I can't afford to get a money order-in the mail to Jim Rob tomorrow. If I can find a way to spend this amount to keep FR available, I know many others of you can too. It only takes a few dollars from each of us that enjoy the site to provide the financing JR needs to keep the site up and running.

Think about it: what does FR mean to you? Is it important enough to scrape together a few dollars? It is to me. Thanks Jim Robinson for this terrific forum!! YOU ROCK!!

No sympathy here, just respect and admiration.

Thanks to the wonderful Mrs. TigersEye (aka .30Carbine) we have contributed.

Give money. It's worth it!

Monthly donor bump!

Even if you just calculate and donate how much you save per month on a traditional newspaper... which was usually just leftist propaganda anyways type-set with smeary ink ;-)
