Amen. Your thread reminded me of the scene in It's a Wonderful Life when Mary asks, and the neighbors happily come to George's aid, payback for the good will he's shown his community. We may get lazy occasionally, but if Jim R. and FR were ever truly in trouble I have no doubt that Freepers will happily come to his aid. Thanks for the call to action, and the kind words, Grampa Dave. (^:
Anytime you want those Christmas lights, just copy <*img src="http://www.modemmom.com/graphics/im_holiday-ani/xmas_lights2-ani.gif"height="44"width="140"*> (without the *s at the ends). That's a groups of 6 lights so paste the address as many times in a row as you want. I didn't know that you could leave the <*BR*> (without those *s again) off the end of an image link address 'til today to line up pictures side by side. See, you helped me learn something. LOL!
My goal besides raising cash for Free Republic and getting more volunteers is to avoid the situation of Free Republic being in financial trouble. Good stewardship tries to avoid that situation.
So if we got 5,000 good Freepers to donate every month, we can help Jim and John to avoid that situation!
Thanks for your great replies and kind words!
