My Favorite FReepers:
68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub - Um, well he does everything and knows everyone. Besides, he listed me as a favorite and that would be rude not to include him. Besides, I really appreciate the difficulty in remembering how to spell your name each time. Thanks for stimulating the brain everyday. Hehe! Actually, he's just a great all around person.
Kathy In Alaska - She is one of the friendliest people you will ever meet in the world. She does not allow a single person to post on the Canteen without acknowledgement. Also, she's the perfect online Ma. She's not close enough to hurt you, but she can still do some damage. So? If you need that kind of loving, check Ma out.
LindaSOG - Cause she's the Goddess.
bentfeather - She's the Canteen Poet (well, okay she's everywhere) and absolutely giving of herself.
HiJinx - He has an awesome granddaughter and he is willing to share everything about her with all of us. Such a sacrifice on everyone's behalf. Thanks Jinxie.
tomkow6 - He's one of the funniest FReepers. He's got a great sense of humor and is selfless in his support for our Troops. Oh! Where is my Ohio State Burka??
Radix - Well, he's Radix. He's always passionate about our Troops. Don't mess with our Troops and you won't have issues with Radix. Mess with them and WATCH OUT!!
Brad's Gramma & Fawnn - The world just wouldn't be the same without these two. Speaking of which, have you seen either of them today? They forgot their medication and I'm convinced they need to take them.
Aeronaut, Valin, & aomagrat - Flyover, history, and ship history..what more could you want in a day??
StarCMC, fatima, HopeandGlory, armymarinemom, mystery-ak, and everyone else that has or had loved ones serving over there.
SevenOfNine - She's the international news diva. What more can you say?
Long Cut, txradioguy, Defender2, USAF_TSgt, kjfine, armyboy, Hondo1952, Dundee, Old Sarge, Arrowhead1952, blackie, RaceBannon, and anyone else that has served America or is currently serving America. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Okay! I like everyone in the Canteen.
Outside of the Canteen, I couldn't possibly survive without these people:
SJackson, dennisw, yonif, and Yehuda
Thank you for always keeping us on track with Middle East news.
Yehuda also has an awesome blog.
Perhaps a plug for the blog wasn't necessary, but I thought everyone should know.
Ragtime Cowgirl, xzins, and Calperina
Thanks for always keeping us on focus with the "GOOD NEWS" ping!!
Also, Calpernia did a wonderful job keeping us posted on Lt. Col West. Thank you!
blackie - He's as smooth and as sweet as they come.
E.G.C - No one BTTT's better than him!
MeekOneGOP for the Zot Ping List
For that guy that does the enviromental threads that I never seem to visit, thanks! Um, I think your name is editor_surveyor or something like that.
trussell, kayak, Faith, and everyone that does the Pray For President Bush Thread. Trussell because she is always keeping everyone informed about prayer requests.
mhking - How can you not love someone who has a "JUST DAMN" ping list?
Oh! Could you add me to your ping list. I'm too busy to write you a FReepmail at the moment. Sorry!
Mudboy Slim & Vetnet - Both are very creative and share their works with all of us. Thank you gentlemen!
Oh! Yeah! I like the Big Kahuna as well. Thanks Jim!
Most importantly: I love the anal retentive posters at Free Republic. You know who you are. Always reminding people that this article has been posted already and absolutely shooting down the person who posted it. Thank you so much for pointing that out. We sure do you love for it. NOT!
Oh!! And you can't forget AnnaZ and amom for their brilliance!
Okay! This was a long post, but at least I wasn't boring like the rest of the posters. At least I made it somewhat colorful. LOL!
You caught a lot of folks I didn't put on my initial list, either. NOT from lack of regard, it was lack of space!
MoJo2001 - just because you were the first.
Registered for graphics and Diogenesis for "Gotta See This" posts.
SAMWolf and Ms. Snippy for the Foxhole Threads.
Jackelopebreeder for his wit and his untiring efforts on the Immivasion threads.
LindaSOG - she's much more than just the Goddess, MoJo!
yonif for very interesting Mid-East threads.
And there's just no way you can pass by a thread featuring Texas Cowboy or the Texas Termite. Little Logan, our FR Miracle Boy, has brought so many people together. Thanks, TC!
If I've left off anyone who thought they were my favorite FReeper, don't worry. You're not. No, wait, that's not what I meant...ummmm....you are, it's just that...ummm...time...no...senility...yeah, that's the ticket, I'm gettin' senile.
Don't worry Ma, you'll always be at or near the top of my list!!!
There are a lot of FReepers I admire for their dedication to the conservative cause and tirelessly giving us a voice especially Kristinn, Doctor Raoul, and, of course, Jim Robinson.
There are some non-American FReepers who would make better Americans than many Americans, 2 of my personal favorites being Knighthawk and Canadian Outrage. Mad Ivan is great too, but I haven't seen him around for awhile.
Others that I'm partial too are the great defenders of southern heritage, especially stainlessbanner and wardaddy.
Can't forget some of my special FReeper girlfriends. They're the best....always passionate, always positive, always reasonable, always entertaining and always usually right (translation: they agree with me at least 95% of the time): nicmarlo, cyborg, Mo1, and dansangel, to name a few.
Null and void is just the right blend of brains, nuts and sugar.
I love Mississippi Man's spirituality, the humor of Glock Rocks and Chad Fairbanks and the sincere charm of STLOUIE1 and Cool_Guy.
Then there is agitator for his independent thinking and, of course, for keeping the rightalk chatroom running smoothly.
I always enjoy the sane and interesting posts of Section9 and sabertooth. Wirestripper's posts are always interesting and well thought out as well, even though I don't always agree with him.
I also love reading the posts of lauratealeaf and MissAmericanPie for the direct and colorful way in which they say things.
I appreciate the tenacity of doug from upland and Mudboy Slim in exposing the lies and hypocrisy of the left and TheLion for all the effort he has put into helping with the voter fraud research.
One thing this exercise does is to make you realize how much you appreciate the many people you often take for granted. The ones I've mentioned just make me more aware of all the terrific FReepers that haven't been mentioned, but are certainly as deserving. Thank you all for making Free Republic such a great place to be.
Long Cut, this was a great idea. It's been done before, 2 or 3 times that I know of, but you can never remind others too often how much they mean to you. Thanks.
