Jim, how hard would it be to put a ‘LIKE’ button on here?

We need to be able to direct our friends here and preach to more than the choir!

(Plus the increased traffic would help membership and donations)

I love receiving blankets. They’re perfect for newborns. The “burp cloths” are a new invention for me. My mother always used a clean diaper, which wasn’t nearly as attractive. :)

However I'm sure there's a black market. If one knows enough crooked, ugly people one can buy anything.

Including an extended stay in the White Hut...

Swaddling has a fascinating past:

From Wikipedia:

Origin and history Several authors presume that swaddling was invented in the paleolithic. In Europe the earliest depictions of swaddled babies are votive offerings and grave goods from Crete and Cyprus, 4000 to 4500 years old.

Votive statuettes have been found in the tombs of Ancient Greek and Roman women who died in childbirth, displaying babies in swaddling clothes. In shrines dedicated to Amphiaraus, models representing babies wrapped in swaddling clothes have been excavated. Apparently, these were frequently given as thank-offerings by anxious mothers when their infants had recovered from sickness.

Probably the most famous record of swaddling is found in the New Testament concerning the birth of Jesus in Luke 2:6-2:7: “ And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. ”

Swaddling clothes described in the Bible consisted of a cloth tied together by bandage-like strips. After an infant was born, the umbilical cord was cut and tied, and then the baby was washed, rubbed with salt and oil, and wrapped with strips of cloth. These strips kept the newborn child warm and also ensured that the child's limbs would grow straight. Ezekiel 16:4 describes Israel as unswaddled, a metaphor for abandonment.

During Tudor times, swaddling involved wrapping the new baby in linen bands from head to foot to ensure the baby would grow up without physical deformity. A stay band would be attached to the forehead and the shoulders to secure the head. Babies would be swaddled like this until about 8 or 9 months.

Happy Birthday, First Darling!

And many happy returns of the day, and many more birthdays!

Thank you for being the backbone of the FReepathon and herding us cats very well.

Thank you for your blessings, your patience, your humor, your sympathy, your touring, and your pleasant company.

Thank you for your graphics, which are alternately precious and politically hard hitting, straight to the heart on both counts.

Most of all, thank you just for being you, you wonderful friend and person!

I love you. Can’t wait to see you again.

The nation is getting a wake-up call. Bombs and gun battles in the streets. No, Mr. Obama, America is not safer than ever. You LIE!!

Secure the borders!! Get a handle on who you allow into the country!! Quit allowing these people in!! Duh, they are at war with us!!

And quit trying to take our guns!! We need them now more than ever!!

And FR is needed now more than ever!! The defense of Liberty starts at home. Never ever give up your guns!!

Please keep those donations coming in folks. FR is funded solely by the freedom loving folks who love and use it. No advertisers. No sugar daddies. No corporate string pullers. No government subsidies. FR is fiercely independent and we aim to remain that way.

Thank you all very much.

God bless America!!

What?

It’s your birthday?!

Didn’t you just have one about a year ago?

I wish you a wonderful day to celebrate one more year completed, and another one on the horizon, for God,family and country.

We put one on a few threads a while back as a test and many freepers objected. Didn’t like fb cookies.
