Howdy everyone!

Happy New Year!!

2005 was a great year and we're looking forward to an even greater 2006! The Iraqis have held their elections and as democracy and freedom takes hold, it appears the terrorist violence has greatly subsided. We're hoping that the war in Iraq is just about over and that as the Iraqis take over responsibility for their own security, our troops can finally come home. God bless them all. We pray for peace in the Middle East.

On the home front, we see President Bush's numbers on the upswing and our confidence is growing regarding continuing conservative successes in the midterm elections this Fall. Judge Samuel Alito should be confirmed for the Supreme Court in the next few weeks and our hopes for a more conservative court will soon be realized.

September 23, 2006 will mark Free Republic's 10th year anniversary. It's hard to believe that 10 years have passed by so quickly. Time flies when you're having fun. We've been blessed with many successes on Free Republic over the years and are praying for continuing success in the future.

Thank you all very much for making Free Republic the very best conservative site on the web!! FReepers are the greatest!!

May God bless you all with peace and prosperity in the new year and much happiness in all the years to come.

Actually, there ISN'T anything wrong! The one down the street didn't sell for what they needed to get out of it, so they took it off the market.

The one I'm talking about has been vacant for about 3 years now....the girls are getting ready to sell it.

Isn't that pathetic???

How about coming home from the beach, and wanting to hang your towels over the railing of your apartment? There's places out here, so I've been told, that won't allow that, either.

I really dislike libs. REALLY.

Other than Grammie driving her Mog across their lawns at 3 in the morning? Oh, gosh no. Pre FReepathon pactice with the neighbors' lawn furniture? No prob. I think her flamingoes might enter into it as well. But, what do I know?

Dang! I was going to ask Someone Who Shall Not Be Mentioned if he had time to drive through my backyard and plow down the enclosed patio, thereby saving us the time and money to do so.

Dang, dang, dang.

Nope! Why? Does it have anything to do with the stupid bear?

You don't read O'Henry? And you an edjamcated woman! For Shame. Go read it. Or rent the video but get the 1975 version it is much better then the 2000 version.

Now let me tell you what you would be letting yourself in for if you took Snuggles.

Now you may not know it but Snuggles was dating the Chiquita Banana girl. He was all googooly eyed about her and even bought her a ring with a pear shaped diamond. And then he caught her two-timeing him with Tony the Tiger. That was six months ago. She has since moved on to Mr. Clean as Tony turned out to be not-so-grrrreat if ya know what I mean. Poor Snuggles was heart broken.

Well six months ago it was poor Snuggles, now it is "Do you think that lump will ever get off my couch?"

He spends all his time watching game shows and calling the physic hot-lines. You should see my phone bill. He has become addicted to Cheeto's and beer. My house now has orange streaks all over everything and the beer gives him gas. Talk about a biological weapon!

Not to mention that should I bring so much as an apple in the house he bursts into loud wails because any kind of fruit reminds him of his lost love. He even started crying when the ad for "Brokenback Mountain" came on because it was about fruits!

He has appropriated my favorite ducky slippers and he never refills the coffee pot after drinking the last cup and he uses all the hot water when he knows I have to shower before I got to work so I have been taking cold showers for the past month and it is the middle of winter and my hair freezes on the way to the car because he somehow managed to short out the hair dryer and...and...

IF YOU WANT HIM YOU CAN HAVE HIM BUT I AM NOT TAKING HIM BACK YOU HEAR!

I'll run away to Alaska and live with the Moose first. There is only so much a girl can take.
