Beautiful Graphic by Mama_Bear!



Dearest FReeper-Patriots, FRiends & Readers,



Change in plans! The surgeon cancelled his trip. All tests are go.
Surgery is now planned for tomorrow morning.
Will be transferring soon out of ICU to a regular room.
The chaplain stopped in for another prayer. Looks like we’re ready to go.
Pulse rate coming down. Prayers up!
~Jim



PRAISE GOD!
Thank you, Lord!
God bless you, dearest Jim!
Thank you ALL for your prayers, and please continue praying!
Surgery for Jim tomorrow morning. We'll let y'all know as soon as Jim lets us know!




Our FReepathon got off to a great start yesterday with 18 Donations of $100 or more and 5 New Monthly Donors, including 1 New $1-A-Day Donor! I mention these Donations because of our Campaigns: Our 300 Club and Our New Monthly Donor Campaign, which I'll describe below.

Every quarter, FReeper I_be_tc, challenges 300 FReepers to match her $100 donation. Yesterday, I kicked-off I_be_tc's $100 challenge with my $100 donation to get things started, so please join me, if you possible can!

It was a big stretch for me, but I want to try to get this FReepathon done quickly for Jim's sake, and I know y'all do, too.

If you send in $100 or more per quarter, please send me a note (in Jim's temporary absence) and I'll add your screen name to the 300 Club Roster! Now, please don't be shy about adding your name. We know you're humble, but seeing your names on the Roster often times inspires others to join you!



Our New Monthly Donor Campaign got off to a great start, too! We conduct this campaign because reliable Monthly Donations are an ideal way to support Free Republic. We already have 3 Very Generous FReeper Sponsors, Tijeras_Slim, upchuck and "somebody", for this Quarter's NMD Campaign! All three FReepers are donating $10.00 for each New Monthly Donor who signs up, so please consider Donating Monthly, if you can reliably do so! $15 a month is 50 cents a day. Please ask yourselves, "what is FR worth to you?"

Whether your donation is $5, $10, $20, $50 or $100 or more, it all helps keep FR alive and will be sincerely and truly appreciated!!

In closing, I know times are tough, unconscionably tough, but for Jim's sake, I'm asking you all to please dig deep and to please dig deep right away or as soon as you possibly can, so that Jim can spend as much time as he needs to recover after his successful surgery, instead of spending 2 months fundraising.

In Jim's temporary absence, Just Amy, (whom you all know and adore) is posting the incoming. She is Jim's life-long, close friend and also his business partner and FR's bookkeeper. So please, let's get those donations coming in! However, with Jim in his own room tonight, we might see him here again too!

We Can Do This, provided We ALL pitch in right away. Please always remember, $25 keeps FR ALIVE!!

Please click the graphic above to donate by secure server or by mail to:

Free Republic - PO Box 9771 - Fresno, CA 93794

Thank you all so very much!!
Thank you all so very much for your prayers for Jim.
Our good Lord is listening. God bless and keep you all and everyone you love.

Prayers for Jim his beautiful wife Sheila and sons Chris and John and his fabulous, caring doctors.
Lord, hear our prayers.

I had that first Yorkie, Baby, for 16 years. After my husband died in 2011, I had time for another Yorkie, so I got FIVE WEEK OLD Yorkie, “Prissy”.

Took her straight to the vet for a check-up. The doc asked me how old I was. I said 77 and he laughed. I said, “What, since I am 77, you want me to pick a half dead dog?” “So the dog won't outlive me??”

If anything happened to me, I've got a friend who would take her in a minute. What a disgusting thing - if you are old, get an old dog - disgusting.

LOLOLOL.
God bless you.

I didn’t think I would want another dog, but I’m sort of read right now, however, DrO won’t entertain the thought.

My best friend here, is probably my own doctor, whom I’m going to see tomorrow morning, and he told me that he would take my new dog, if I got one, should that new dog out live me.

Well, my doctor is older than me! Thanks very much! It’s HIS job to keep ME alive.

:)

That’s really great and it gives you joy.
We have the “Mom” rose bushes that almost constantly bloom.
They both loved roses. :)

Yeah, it’s amazing and my Jordan was so happy to see that huge ring of flowers around the St Francis statue when she arrived here this summer. Jack was her companion, too.

Yes, MOM roses! DrO planted some of those for me and they bloom and bloom and bloom! God has His hand in all of this, too. I’m certain.

Your vet was remarkably insensitive, to say the least. We have friends who are well into their 80’s, and doing just fine.

My doc was my age and he just retired. He was my doc for 30+ years. We know each other very well and became friends. I used to joke on physical day saying "naked time!".
I have his protege now, a nice looking lady. Guess I can't do that anymore :)

No kidding! We’re going to look for a new puppy in the late winter/early spring. I’m not ready for one now. It’s just too soon.

Tears! Thank you, darling TOL. I’m sure He does. We know St Francis does.
