[WIMom]

It's
that time
again. We need to
get the Christmas tree up,
the shopping done, the presents wrapped,
and donate to Free Republic! Jim needs to keep the
lights on and we need to keep our internet home. So, do us
all a big
favor and
donate to the best web site on the internet!

I'll pay money to erase THAT thought. Name the price.

Just pick a half dozen really active threads from the 'Latest Posts' list and post a reminder on them that this place is expensive to keep open.

Shark sighting--

Thanks for your offer and use of your 'kayak', kayak; but, we need a bigger boat if we're going fishing with the 'FReeople'.

[Ligeia]

Thank you
Ohio!

[WIMom]

here = hear, sheesh, I've been doing this a lot lately..... Sorry.

[okimhere]

Love your pictures. What's next? If you don't run that last one again, I'll go Pay per View, proceeds to FR, of course. Teehee.

Thanks for the info, I thought we might be closer to the goal than it appears in looking at the two figures at the top. I'm a new monthly donor, so I'm interested in seeing how this fundraiser goes.

Speaking as a former FReeploader, Cough up everyone!! (You know who you are!!)

It is cold and wet in Southern Oregon today!!

Since it is a cold, wet day here in Southern Oregon, I thought maybe we could play a "Cold Cash" scratch off game.

The rules are simple:

1) I show you the unscratched Oregon Lottery ticket here on this thread, in this post.
2) You commit to match all or part of any amount won and post your committment.
3) In an half-hour or so I post the scratched ticket so you can see the result.
4) You go to BADJOE's collection booth and pony up if the ticket is a winner.
5) I repeat this at intervals during this FreepAThon or until I'm told to knock it off.
 

Some caveats:

• I do actually scratch the tickets and scan them ahead of time in order to do this without the stress I have had in previous FreepAThons.
• I do NOT look at the scatched tickets.  I have no more idea if we won anything than you do.
• Any winning tickets will be paid to FreeRepublic via my credit card as will the actual cost of all the tickets.
• To see if your ticket (write down the number from the ticket 147-152) was a winner, simply return to this very post, (THIS ONE - WRITE DOWN THE NUMBER!) from time to time, hit refresh and the scratched ticket will appear - sooner or later.
• Later, we will go FreeperFishin' - d14truth and I are working on that now.  This game is not related.

All set?  Here's game #1 (ticket #147):

Still looking for that checkbook...(-:
BTTT

[BADJOE]

Let's all go fishin' : )

Ooops also credit Ohio with an extrp $50.00 times three or $150 in new monthlies. Now I have to go work up a bunch of incoming and update the bar graph.

[palo verde]

hi dutchess
thank you for your generous contribution
Love, Palo

[okimhere]

You're on! If Badjoe ok's it, I'm off to deliver sweet but threatening pleas on 6 busy threads. Well, the only threat would be that we could lose this site if we're not watchful. That's not carpet bombing, is it, badjoe?

[BADJOE]

Need a lone? : ) : )

[palo verde]

thank you Ohio
way to go
Love, Palo

[BADJOE]

If you don't hit them all, it is not carpet bomboing.

However, I have been typing as fast as I can just handling what has happened since JohnRob put up the bar graph.

[Ligeia]

Thank you
Ohio!

[palo verde]

Hi BADJOE
I love that bar graph you set up on top
which shows where we are and how fast we're gettin' there
thanks
Love, Palo

[okimhere]

We don't want to have to hire an assistant for you (haha) so I'll pay off Servant of the Nine as soon as things slow down a bit. Lemme know.
