When I first went on the internet, it was because a son had moved out and left his computer for me to use. It was when the Monica scandal first came about (Feb.— March??) and I was looking for news on it. Somehow, I found Drudge (don’t ask me how I did as I really didn’t know what I was doing). The word Whitewater caught my attention, and I clicked on it and that was the beginning.

I remember reading just a few posts on FR, and called down to my husband in the den, a half flight down from the room I was in. I said “You should see what I just found!! A place where people think the same as we do!!!” It was an instant addiction!

I saw that you had to register to post, but since it wasn’t my computer, I didn’t think I could do it. Shows you just how little I knew about the internet and computers! Several months later, I upgraded from a Windows.3 (or whatever it was) to a newer computer and since it was now MY computer, I registered. I wish I had realized that I could have registered when I first found FR. I would have had a real neat starting date!!

When I finally made my first post, I was warmly welcomed and because I was a newbie, I was told that I had to go get the coffee!! LOL! It has been a wonderful ride ever since!

Love this place!
