We're now at 45 percent and we have 24 New Monthly Donors! We also have 101 Dalmations Donations of $100 or more, as per our 300 Club and I-be-TC's original Challenge.
Were half of our regular users to reliably donate $5, $10, $20 or $30 Monthly, this FReepathon and all FReepathons would be things of the past. PLEASE consider Donating Monthly. We have 4 very generous FReeper Sponsors, (Tijeras_Slim, upchuck, somebody & Owen Kellogg) who are kicking in $10.00 for EVERY New Monthly Donor.
Like Jim says, "Your loyal support makes Free Republic possible. And your continuing participation makes FR the number one independent, reader funded, pro-life, pro-family, pro-small government, pro-defense grassroots conservative forum on the Net!!"
"And we're going to need FR now more than ever to combat the current crop of Marxist/fascist progressive tyrants who have infested our government and public institutions and who are hell-bent on destroying our constitution and our God-given Liberty!!"

Do you have any secondary heat source?
Stand by for FR mail.
We're at 8 right now.
I’m at 7 degrees.
Eastern MA.
.
I don’t think so ... should hang in round about here.
I keep saying April is almost here!
Of course not...LOL.
7 fireplaces. No wood.
:)
Just at freezing. But the clouds may get colder and it will drop “solid” rain then.
Electric stove?
Yep ... electric stove, gas heat, I think.
Heck, I don’t know. I’m not all that worried.
Whatever will be will be.
I’m concerned about losing the internet! LOLOLOLOL.
When I’m shivering I don’t care about the internet. LOL

Welcome to the “300” Club!
Taking life a little less seriously...
Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true? A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it.. don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake? A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio? A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program? A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good!
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you? A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! . Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle? A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.
Q: Is chocolate bad for me? A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!
Q: Is swimming good for your figure? A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.
Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle? A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!
Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.
And remember: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!"
AND......
For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
CONCLUSION:
Eat and drink whatever you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
LOLOL!
I like the "slide in sideways" line, alot.
The day I retire the motorcycle, stay off of the horse, and give up the sports car is not a day I wish to witness.
Then enjoy all of it, dear theneanderthal!
