RJanyneJ, thanks much for recognizing RightOnline for Essay of the Week! His "I need to be a liberal" was just beeeeautiful!

RightOn, I try to avoid saying I told you so (even though I'm right so much of the time, hehehe) but in this case I think it's most appropriate! I TOLD YOU SO! :-)

[Dahoser]

Thank you kindly!

Congrats to all you talented Freepers!

Thanks! My mom said, "Brilliant essay but you are so wrong!" Oh well, can't win 'em all.

Haven't had a chance to read any of them. I'm not online at home yet and the only time I get to go online is at the office... doesn't leave a whole lot of time to read or contribute. Will try to do some reading soon.

[Drammach]

Thanks for the mention;
Honestly, I think I got on the list by default. I was the only respondant to the request for comment.
I feel somewhat humbled to be included in the company of some of the other contributors.
There are many others more eloquent, and with a better grasp of the issues than me.

I am honored to be in their company, and thanks for the recognition.

"...but in this case I think it's most appropriate! I TOLD YOU SO! :-)"

Yeah....................yeah, ya did. :) Who'd'a thunk, eh? :)

[RightOnline]

BY THE WAY..........something I hadn't told you before; something kinda spooky about that piece I wrote that RJayneJ has so nicely and magnanimously recognized..

The piece you posted from D. U. that I responded to with this little "essay"? Well, I hadn't read it completely through when I began writing my response. IOW, I hadn't even seen how it "ended". Now, now that you know that, go back and read how that piece ended.........and then read how mine ended. This will make sense when you do that. Trust me; I had no idea, and it is as if I was responding directly to that ending.........kinda wierd. :)

Well I must admit your essay is so good it was easy. :-) But that didn't stop me from dancing around the room singing I'm right, I'm right! ;-)

I'm not online at home yet and the only time I get to go online is at the office... doesn't leave a whole lot of time to read or contribute.

Well get busy!! We need you!! :-) Thanks for the congrats.

I will offer my congrats under a condition...that we get to see more pics of your newest arrival.LittleRightOnline needs his own page ;-)

[RightOnline]

LOL.........well, little dude's growing like two weeds. It's unbelievable. At two months, already cutting teeth and trying desperately to talk. I'm not kidding. Must come from being the youngest of seven and trying to keep up. :)

....and yeah, awful darned cute, too. :)

[habs4ever]

Hey Betty, can you give me a link so I can read for myself if your work is worthy of all this praise?? LOL :-)

[BigWaveBetty]

Just click on the source at the top of the page. Mash here for the original thread. It's RightOnline who got Essay of the week, mine's just a blurb that started it all. You know how I like to start things. ;-) Enjoy!
