I was gone for a little over a week with no internet access and didn't get back on line until this morning, so I missed the down time yesterday. And I certainly missed my FR time!
Good news for the Robinsons, I can assure everyone that there is no substitute for Free Republic.
I can't believe you went without it for a week!! I'd be dead by then. Going around without a computer is like having half your brain tied behind your back. My condolences.
