Origins of Free Republic
Self

Posted on 01/31/2007 7:17:49 PM PST by festus

So how far back does the Free Republic archive articles and how can I go back and find some of the first threads that started the whole thing off ?

It struck me I've hung out for a while and it was well established when I joined.

Be fun to see what we were focused on day one. For me anyway.

It looks like this new century's been rough on many of us.

I come to FR every day (multiple times a day);

I've worn out the refresh button on my screen. I'll have to get a new one.

OMG, I hope those interns wouldn't be for HER........LOL.

IMO, live is always best on FR; it's what we do best; and people just get tired of talking about the same damn thing over and over and over.

Don't get me wrong: there are a LOT of people on here that LOVE to beat a dead horse, but the really fun threads -- and the best threads, at least to me -- are the live, ongoing threads where we ramp it up.

It was on a live thread I know that much! LOL

I dunno how I let it happen, I learned from that experience to stick to the generics of "you" when I am not quite sure of the gender of the poster. LOL

I have met people who have become true flesh and blood FRiends.
You know, I think a lot of the "newer" posters don't "get" that part. That's why they're so damn angry all the time.

This just needed repeating.

And I made the mistake of referring to Howlin as "He" once when someone asked where Howlin had went. Howlin reappeared on the thread and said "I'm a gull". I scratched my head and then it dawned on me. LOL

Yep old Ash alert I am member 500 and something so long my memory is fading.

I'm member 255 and there's VERY few of us who are down in the triple digits. I remember the ASH ALERTS and mixing it up with Eschoir.

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another ... no, that's not it.

There were, in the same country, shepherds abiding in the fileds, keeping watch over their flocks by night, when lo .... no, that's not it, either.

He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas Day when the New York Times said God is dead ant the war's begun ... no, that's not it.

JimRob would be the authoritative source. If, on the other hand, you enjoy being entertained by a random wiseass who occasionally says something funny, I live to serve.

FReeper #7056, reporting for duty.

(FYI: I suffer from a major depressive disorder. Prior to 2002, this condition was undiagnosed and untreated. As a result, posts to FR made by me prior to 2002 are liable to be paranoiac, semi-coherent, or otherwise symptomatic of serious untreated mental illness. All such messages should be disregarded. I apologize for posting them.)

I guess I don't see so well anymore. I had always scanned it as rlb3. That's not as bad as caligirl's posts. Every time, I would see it as 'callgirl' and about have a heart attack.

LOL! I did that to somebody too.

It was somebody I conversed with over years...to make the embarrassment greater.
