It's Compliment Weekend at FR!

None | 6/21/02 | AGYG

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 you’re 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, I’m not fishing for compliments. I’ve already been called every name in the book here on FR, and “toothless hag” is still my personal favorite.

Tech posts are the humor to us pocket-protector types.

Sorry. I'm a programmer, but I've never worn a pocket protector. However, at this moment, I'm helping a friend (via AIM) diagnose a computer problem.

And I just wanted to mention that I always look for your space-related posts. You do a better job of filtering (and commenting on) them than Space.com or /.

Between yesterday and tomorrow, I have met and made friends with so many of you that it is impossible to list everyone. Thank you for the memories we have made together and the ones we will make in the future. I think of Freepers and I see a ballroom full - singing along with Lee Greenwood's "I'm proud to be an American" Thank you everyone.

Now y'all come on to Charleston, ya heah and we will have a cup of tea grown in American on John's Island. Maybe some grits and shrimp with a hugenot tort for dessert.

Hugs and smooches for all!

Thanks for supporting the Dump Davis campaign!

Thanks for all your prayers for Mason, who is doing just terrific after the bone marrow transplant. He is back home and only having to go in for rechecks once a week.

We cannot thank you enough. God bless all of you!!!

And also thank you mystomachisturning for your prayers even though the FReeper list indicates I've got your name spelled wrong or you have left FReeper world.

Oh No.......I forgot YOU............see, I was in a hurry to get out of town to see some friends and......well, I was just in a hurry!

We have had some great laughs, haven't we?

I'll show you one that made ME fall in the floor laughing. Last week, during our live thread during the Tyson boxing match, hole_n_one posted this picture of the fight (remember now, HNO usually does the captured TV pictures on our live threads)

And kcvl, I forgot you, too. I just can't believe I did. You are the BEST researcher around!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Dork. (hoping this one doesn't get pulled....)

[sweetliberty]

"perhaps I should change my screen name to "Subversive Conservative"...

LOL! You could be onto something. Yeah, "those people" at the DU are truly a strange breed, some kind of throwback or something. But they are hilarious to watch in small doses. I know Jim doesn't like the DU stuff on FR, but I have to admit that I miss some of those threads. They gave me some of the best laughs!

Thanks Parsy, for turning me on to these lunatics. You and I share a certain quality....a sick sense of humor. Granted, you are sicker that me! Hehehe....

[Brad’s Gramma]

Let's meet, at the end of Newport Pier, sometime this summer. OK, maybe not the END of the pier....

[Freedom2specul8]

You are an inspiration....for all of us Luis!!

[Freedom2specul8]

I am so glad to have met you....and I look forward to learning more from ya!! (gosh it's starting to feel like a holiday or something! ;D)

[farmfriend]

You all are a blessing to me. You brighten my days in ways you can not know. For this I say thanks. Thanks for remembering to ping me, especially blam who does not use a ping list. Thanks for being my friends and fellow warriors. Bless you all. M

[Freedom2specul8]

Hi V! Finally...can throw my 2cents back in the pot!! It twas a struggle lemmmeee tell ya. :) Missed you guys~!

[Freedom2specul8]

Gosh, I'm not sure when we saw each other last.. I do know that your name MEANS A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!..AND SO DO YOU! Thanks for the pings. :)

[Torie]

Thanks for being exactly who you are, nothing more, and nothing less. If it wasn't so late, more names would come to mind. So many names.

[kayak]

That was one of (if not THE) funniest moments ever on FR, Howlin ..... I'm glad you brought it up ..... I'm still laughing.

HNO ~~~ though that was priceless, I do recommend that you stick with your day job rather than taking up a career in commercial art ........ *grins*

And thanks for all the screen shots you do ..... they really add a lot to the threads.

[Freedom2specul8]

LFS....I love that pic...it's a cutey..thanks!

All, I should have pinged everyone at once...but I wasn't thinking! sorry bout taking up so much space...

Anniegetyourgun, this was a fantabulous idea!

[Howlin]

You just cannot believe how hard I laughed when I scrolled down to that picture. I still laugh when I think about it.

[herewego]

So many are so cool, there is no way to shorten my list.
Tonk, Snow Bunny, Billie, Squantos, so many to list just on FREEP.
Thanks to all and a cool six to each soon..

[kitkat]

Patti, thank you for the update about Mason. I've been wondering about him when I pray for him each day. I'll continue to pray of course. What good news.

[Sir Gawain]

Post 900. I am so cool.
