I was able to figure out how to post pics due to Freeper synbad600. She walked me pretty much thru it by privite reply. Didn't know her personally, but from what I've learned during my time here, Freepers are very generous people.

Dutchess, all I can say is.....You Rock!!!!

Freepers are the best. I remember the first time I tried to post a picture...a much loved freeper who I did not know ("whoever") freepmailed me instructions out of the blue. I see you are relatively new here, atleast compared to some of us "oldtimers". The old Bill Clinton/Whitewater days...ugh!!! Don't know if you have ever visited the Memorial Wall of freepers who have "left us". It's a wonderful tribute to many of our friends and can be found at the bottom of the home page.

Thanks for your service to our country and rock on for raising 5 what I'm sure are wonderful kids! (checked out your homepage) God bless.

ATTENTION FREEPERS OF ALL AGES!

IN RESPONSE TO POPULAR DEMAND WE PROUDLY ANNOUNCE.........

THE GO-FOR-BARAK LIMERICK CONTEST!

Here's the contest.......we're giving you the first four lines of a limerick. Your challenge is to provide the "fifth line". The rules are simple. The fifth line must be political in nature. It must rhyme with the first two lines. When you've created your masterpiece, post the whole thing, not just the last line. Finally, let the world know how you really feel on the subject at hand, but watch yo language, por favor.

Here's the limerick:

Power couple Obama/Michelle
Want the White House to be where they'll dwell
But the problem you see
If this is to be
------------------(add your line)

Okay, here's a couple examples to get your little gray cells working:

Power couple Obama/Michelle
Want the White House to be where they'll dwell
But the problem you see
If this is to be
Rev-rund Wright will then have a hotel

Power couple Obama/Michell
Want the White House to be where they'll dwell
But the problem, you see
If this is to be
We will enter the Age of Orwell

Power couple Obama/Michelle
Want the White House to be where they'll dwell
But the problem, you see
If this is to be
They will need a George Bush show-and-tell!

Now, we know y'all can do better. Get thinkin' on it. The contest starts tonight (Saturday) and will close Thursday night. You may submit two entries only. Good luck to all participants.

My next post below will describe the prizes and how the Freepathon will benefit from this little contest.

It will be appreciated if posts are held up till after the second part of this one is typed and pops up. Thanks.

When have we not reached the goal?

[LaurenD]

LOL...yes sneaky goes along with smart. Although my male husky was the smartest dog I’ve ever seen in my life and he wasn’t sneaky. He just came right out and did the bad thing and then took his punishment. Just like my sons. And just like my boys, he rarely did what he wasn’t supposed to.

Belle swims already. We have a pool and it was the funniest thing when she one day a couple of weeks ago started deliberately jumping in rather than accidently falling in. Wherever I go, she follows. If I’m doing laps, she will run from one end of the pool to the other and will all of a sudden jump right towards me and swim to me. Dogs as stubborn as her are difficult to deal with because I am determined to be the boss and she is determined to be boss. Good thing she is so cute and lovable.

Part Two.......

THE GO-FOR-BARAK LIMERICK CONTEST!

WIN A PRIZE FOR THE FREEPATHON!

See post #665 above for details on the contest. Here are the prizes:

TWO First Place prizes of $25.00 each for the two best "fifth lines" to the limerick!

TWO prizes of $15.00 each for the ditto Second Place winners!

A Very Special $10.00 award, the O-BOOBY-MA PRIZE, for the most pathetic, crummy (but sincere) "fifth line" entered into this limerick contest.

If you are a Winner or an O-BOOBY-MA PRIZE winner/loser, the cash prize you have won will be sent to the Freepathon as a CONTRIBUTION IN YOUR NAME! Plus, you'll have the honor of being famous forever in the Pantheon of Freepathon Winners/Losers!

As always, the sole judge for this contest will be MinuteGal (moi). Any objections are overruled. MinuteGal, a founder and foot soldier-ette in the renowned "FR Light Verse Brigade", knows the Bad and the Beautiful and is extraordinarily qualified to be da judge.

Read the rules in post #665 above so you're not disqualified and flogged. Get your winning entry in now! Then send in another entry if your Muse inspires you again.

As Dr. FRepper sez:

He's a WINNER, she's a WINNER, we're a WINNER, FR's a WINNER
Wouldn't YOU
Like to be a WINNER, too?

Okay, gang, let's GO-FOR-BARAK, now!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, LayoutGuru2.....you're a speedy poet and don't know it. You have the distinction of posting the very first entry in this contest to benefit FR. Your profound creation is duly entered into the contest's Book of Good and Evil.

Good luck to you.
