Funny, I have read your posts all these years but...there you are in flesh and blood!
I have been lucky-through my interactions with the DC Chapter of Free Republic, and going to the 1st Annual Free Republic Convention down in Washington DC, I have met a lot of Freepers in person. Interestingly, almost all of them comport in my brain with what I thought of them before I actually met them...:)
Heh, I am getting old enough where I just don’t care if I get canceled. I used to love people, and interacting with them in all aspects of life. I have been getting quite negative and pessimistic-I wasn’t always this way-and now, I have difficulty going out in society and interacting as I used to. I don’t like the change, and am working on how to deal with this negativity and pessimism. It is a challenge, but I have much to be grateful for, and have lived a wonderful and interesting life (to me, at least) so I feel like I can defeat this change.
So, all these years, I saw your FreepName, and wondered what it was. Then I visited your FreepPage, and saw that it is of Greek origin in meaning, not derived from a Caribbean island!
Well...a very Merry Christmas to you, FRiend, and best wishes for a happy, healthy, and prosperous year in 2023.
