Who runs FR?
Free Republic, LLC is a non-commercial, limited liability company founded and operated by Jim Robinson (jimrob@psnw.com), a private citizen of Fresno, California.
Free Republic is not a for profit commercial enterprise in the sense of a traditional business selling a product or service at a profit for its shareholders. We sell no product or service. We have no clients, customers or employees. We do not accept paid advertising. Free Republic is not affiliated with any political party, group, news source, government agency or anyone else.
Free Republic is not a traditional business. We are a political discussion forum and independent grassroots conservative activist group supported by donations from our readers and participants. When and if our participants decide we are no longer needed or viable, we will close down shop and go away. Free Republic operates on an approximate $360,000 annual budget (click for breakdown) which includes all equipment costs, bandwidth fees, consulting and labor costs, administrative costs, license fees, insurance, rents, communications costs, office expenses, advertising, travel, professional fees, banking and credit card fees, taxes, etc. Like most labor intensive organizations, the bulk of our costs are personnel related. We have one general manager and webmaster, one systems, programming and computer guru, one programming and management assistant and one bookkeeper/business administrator. The four of us are all members (partners) of the LLC. We own and operate our own servers and our proprietary software was developed and is maintained inhouse. Free Republic is not a charity or IRS non-profit organization. We do not raise funds for charitable purposes or causes. We raise funds solely to cover our operating costs, labor, and all applicable state and federal income and payroll taxes.
Statement by FR's Founder:
In our continuing fight for freedom, for America and our constitution and against totalitarianism, socialism, tyranny, terrorism, etc., Free Republic stands firmly on the side of right, i.e., the conservative side. Believing that the best defense is a strong offense, we (myself and those whom I'm trying to attract to FR) support the strategy of taking the fight to the enemy as opposed to allowing the enemy the luxury of conducting their attacks on us at home on their terms and on their schedule... continued here.

Free Republic does not advocate or condone racism, violence, rebellion, secession, or an overthrow of the government. Free Republic advocates a return to constitutionally limited government, reserving all government powers not expressly delegated by the constitution to the United States to the States respectively, or the people, emphasizing sovereign state governments, local government, self-government and self-rule, while restricting government powers to only those enumerated in the constitution and maximizing individual rights and liberty as originally envisioned and established by our Founding Fathers and secured and defended by the blood of patriots and statesmen for over two hundred years.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." --- The Declaration of Independence, In Congress, July 4, 1776
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." --- The Ninth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." --- The Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
"In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. -- Ronald Reagan, January 20, 1981

"Death to America!"
Right. That’s what I’m doing and the Realtor’s neutral for the dining room looks more like a kitchen color to me. Both by Behr: His is called Cracked Wheat and I think it has a yellow tone in it or to it. Mine is called White Mocha and a is more of a true beige. I like it better with the wood.
I think Cracked Wheat sounds like a bakery. :)
A buyer’s market is when the supply exceeds the demand, which leads to lower prices of real estate. That’s what happened in 2008, and it’s been a long time recovering from it. Some areas are doing all right and others not so much.
In a seller’s market, a house would end up in a bidding war, and sell for more than the asking price. It all depends on the location.
The right paint can influence a buyer’s interest in a home, so you are wise to focus on that.
Me too. I like keeping color in the accessories.

OH, OKay. Well, this market depends on the house. I’m not coming down a dime...LOL. Well, maybe a dime, but right now, I don’t know the listing price but I have a pretty good idea of what I’ll accept. I’ll sit on it before I’ll ever consider a fire sale or a bargain for the buyer. I’m quite happy with the improvements I’m making...LOL.
That’s great. You are in the driver’s seat.
If I didn’t absolutely, positively HATE winter, I’d actually seriously consider staying right here. In fact, if my house doesn’t sell right away, and by that I mean, before September, I just might take it off the market and merely decide to spend winters elsewhere!
Have you had an appraisal?
I hear you. Winter is hard.

If I didn’t have so many family ties here I would like to retire to a warmer state.
We have relatives here, in Florida and Texas. We’d like to divide our time between here and Florida.
