I thought it might be fun and enlightening to look back exactly one year at 2014's 4th Quarter's FReepathon on this very same date and compare it to today's 2015 FReepathon to check our progress, or not.
2014's November 2, thread was XXXI.
2015's November 2, thread is XXXIII.
ON NOVEMBER 2, 2014, JIM WROTE:
Make it a monthly if you can.
We have some very generous FReeper sponsors kicking in an extra ten bucks for every new monthly signed up.
We already have 21 New Monthly Donors this quarter.
TODAY, in 2015, WE HAVE 23 NEW MONTHLY DONORS!
Or send in a hundred dollars or more per quarter and join I_be_tc's growing list of 300 Club patriots.
I_be_tc sends in $100 per quarter and challenges 300 others to do the same.
And we have received 97 donations of $100 or more so far this quarter TOTALING $12,436.
TODAY, in 2015, WE HAVE 94 DONATIONS OF $100 or more TOTALING $14,165.57!!!
That 2014 4th Quarter FReepathon of Ours took until December 3rd to complete! We ended with 219 Donations of $100.00 or more that brought in a TOTAL of $28,426 and 49 NEW Monthly Donors!
Two (2) Month long FReepathons have seemingly and very unfortunately become the new norm. I and those of us remaining on Jim's dedicated FReepathon Team are at a complete loss for a remedy.
These 2 Month FReepathons have taken their toll on Jim's Team, We have, understandably, lost some of our treasured Team Members and replacements have not volunteered. FReepathon Team Members spend at least 8-12 hours daily trying to induce you all to please support Free Republic in a timely manner, --- like within the first month!
Jim has made it crystal clear several times that Free Republic will remain self-supporting --- no damn ads --- no sugar daddies --- no outside influences --- and definitely no government subsidies, tax breaks or political party affiliations.
We are, and we will remain totally self-funded, fiercely independent, so that we can enjoy our freedom to speak plainly in the support of God, family, country and liberty!!
But Free Republic cannot exist without you, our loyal, liberty-loving FReeper-Patriots who treasure Free Republic and one another.
Were half of y'all, our wonderful, awesome, loyal, FReeper-Patriots and regular users to reliably donate $5, $10, $20, $30 or more Monthly, this FReepathon and all FReepathons would be events of the past, and THAT is a FACT!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE CONSIDER SIGNING UP TO DONATE MONTHLY PROVIDED YOU RELIABLY CAN!
Prayers up for our beloved Republic!
Special prayers for all our members in need, including but not limited to JRandomFReeper & JustAmy.

"What would YOU do without Free Republic?"
(I'd be lost. The best of my FRiends are here and that means YOU ALL!)
THANKS SO MUCH EVERYBODY!!
God bless and keep you all and everyone you hold precious.
On behalf of Jim and my Awesome Teammates all of whom I LOVE,
I am onyx
My pleasure, Sweetie Pie. You most definitely deserve a rest now and then and I got to wondering how we’re doing compared to last year. The 300 Club total dollar amount is much the better!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, FourtySeven!! MD FReeper!!!  |

I love the photo of the pup sleeping in the food dish, talk about the life of Riley! LOL!
Louie is looking great, onyx. ;-)
I’m so happy you love that one, too. It’s adorable. I’ll wager he has a full tummy and just wore himself out. YES...LOL...”The Life of Riley!” I remember my dear Dad watching that TV program.
Funny show. We watched The Life of Riley too on our first TV, it was a 12 inch B&W.
I’m so happy you love that photo, too! The little guy looks like he has a full tummy and literally wore himself out. YES...LOL... “The Life of Riley!” My dear Dad used to watch that TV show.
I’ve had to temper my tug-of-war games with Louie. He was starting to take our games a little too seriously and I didn’t want to make him mean.
He’s such a big baby but sometimes very feisty. Like now, he just erased my entire first message to you because he wanted his head on this keyboard!
I know I had typed something else to you, but now I can’t remember. I’m going to have to start leaving him at home when I go grocery shopping and that’s going to cause both of us “separation anxiety” but I think it’s better than leaving him in my SUV.
LOLOL.
Our first TV must have also been a 12 inch. It was black and white, too (of course) and I remember the brand: Admiral. It still worked when my Dad died in 1972 and I got mad at my Mother for giving it to the Good Will!
Thank you very much, jazusamo!!
Woo hoo!!
And this just in:
$20.00 from Virginia
$5.00 from Massachusetts
$20.00 from North Carolina
Thank you all very much!!
Woo hoo!! And the first 38% is in!!
FReepers are the absolute greatest!!
God bless.
I’m unable to post the scoreboard until I determine what Louie has done to my laptop.
I can’t scroll down in “view page source.”
proud to donate .2 percent of the yearly needed amount. Would only need 500 of us to finish this thing before it started!!!
only 5 bucks this week on top of monthly Onyx. Ate out frequently and badly for lunch :( will donate it today.
still two more weeks!!
;)
Hey!
Hold onto your money!
This thing will go on for at least another 2 weeks!
I hope you didn’t gain any weight!
God bless you.
I just donated 150. Match that, folks.
I'll post a scoreboard in just a minute.
LOLOLOL.
Well, sweetest you, deo!
I do have a Kroger’s less than a mile away!
The Piggly-Wiggly is 4 miles away!
