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.
T.M.I.!!!!
On the other hand if we ever did see eye-to-eye then what would we do for fun? I will say that you defend your cause with dignity and honor and, usually, a sense of humor and I respect you for it.
Now...if you really want barbecue then forget that Carolina stuff and get on down to Kansas City, where barbecue has been raised to a high art. It has been said that barbecue in KC is like wine in France - go a mile down the road and it's completely different. And it's true, too.
Snow Bunny and all the USO Canteeners - are the BEST!
;)
I appreciate all the FRiends I have found here, the good political discussion and debate that can be found here, the good talk and cheer almost always found in the Hobbit Hole, to the Robinsons for allowing it to go on! and the Moderators for trying to ensure that we play nice! Pints for everybody!
And thanks to all who tolerate the fact that I mostly just make ironic jokes, arcane references, puns, and bash the prominent Democratic 'leadership'. I am so proud of some of my jokes, and I love reading the first reply of someone who 'gets it'. For example, there was an article about North Korean No-Dong missiles, and I joked that the guidance system runs on eunuchs. Nobody seemed to get the joke. Too subtle? Or not funny? Hint: it works on two levels.
Anyway, thanks to the resident humorists and super-posters who give me something to laugh at, or to read late at night.
And not to be sappy, but thank you, U.S. military. You are putting your lives on the line for the freedom I enjoy. No thanks will ever be enough. I just hope to be worthy of your sacrifice.
I like your "sassy" posts.
I also think you look cute in that outfit........
Sorry ;>}
(That's all Canada has is rocks)
Thanks! Some would say I roll too, but that's another story...
I'd like to compliment Nick Danger on his little orange spy guy and his voluminous knowledge on a wide range of topics,
I'd also like to compliment general_re's vast knowledge and his willingness to share it here,
I'd like to compliment Appy Pappy on his curmudgeonliness and his willingness to share it,
And I'd like to compliment Hillary's Lovely Legs on her quiet, understated sense of humor. It hits you softly in the right spot at the most unexpected times.
