Given the carping and nasty nature of FR as of late, I thought it might be a good time to see the more civil and gracious side of participants. Here is a thread for just that purpose to edify, encourage, and thank.
Ever wanted to thank that unsung FR hero? Agree or disagree, why not tell JohnHuang2 or Registered how much you appreciate their skills. And can you imagine the many hours Alamo-Girl puts into her work? Perhaps you appreciate how well the folks over at Word For The Day wield their words. Or maybe you just want to tell WIMom and her gang that youre sorry for all your unkind words about the recent Freepathon ads, and thank her for all her hard work on that. Maybe you are an FR Radio fan. Well, you get the idea.
What this thread is NOT for: complaints against the management, flaming those you disagree with, bashing the current administration, leaving your opus, whinning about someone being banned, criticizing FR spelling, grammar, or sentence structure, calling out newbies (unless they are disrupting this thread, of course), shilling for your candidacy, carping about a particular regular thread. Well, you get the idea.
Freep on ..
P.S. No, Im not fishing for compliments. Ive already been called every name in the book here on FR, and toothless hag is still my personal favorite.
I think it is also Brit Hume's birthday today.
There are FAR too many of us to name!
Clemenza for his great South Florida information (So why is he moving back to NY?)
Registered for his graphics (including his widely stolen "Sore/Loserman" sign)
Lazmataz for the funny posts (One has to have a sense of humor to live in Rochester)
summer for her Jeb Bush alerts (No Jeb Bushes were complimented in the making of this post)
Luis Gonzalez for his radio broadcasts (Psst! Jose Padilla's mom lives here in Broward and loves to talk)
JohnHuang2 for his ping alerts as the King of Ping (formerly the "Prince of Ping)
And of course, JimRob, for making this all possible (Even JimRob has a South Florida connection since he lived for a couple of years in Riviera Beach according to his bio)
You're standing right there on the front line FWI!
For my friend's son Matthew (who is still in need of prayer) and my friend Earlene (who died of cancer last year) and for all the special prayer requests (some of you joined in a 24 hr prayer vigil last year during the time of our plane crew in China) for which you have prayed when called upon - THANK YOU! And may God bless and keep and encourage you today. What a privilege and a joy to be part of a great prayer "family" here on Free Republic.
Second, A big thanks to Jim Robinson. You are a Great American.
Snow Bunny, Billie ; You two are angels. Thanks for all the hard work and the USO canteen.
68-69 TonkinGulfYatchClub : Thanks for all the pings and your dedication to this Nation.
DJ88, Dansangel,mhking : Thanks for being a friend.
#3fan, aomagrat, DJ88 : Thanks for the racing talk.
Lastly, to all Freepers :
Since November, your intelligent discussions and debates have enriched me immeasurably. Especially the Constitution threads.
Thanks.
You will get to meet JimRob, and a great bunch of Freepers.
Please come. I want to get face to face with you.
dighton,aculeus,orual, : Thanks for your very witty posts, even if I don't get some of them.
