Howdy everyone,

Are you ready for a FReepathon?

The state of our FR is strong!

Our big legal bill is now paid off and our budgetary requirements are now reduced. For the first time in our history, our monthly donations are now bringing in more than 50% of our quarterly budget! Thanks to our generous membership and the settlement with the City of Fresno, we now have a comfortable cash buffer and should have no problems meeting our coming tax payments and other obligations.

I've recalculated our estimated budget requirements for the remainder of the year and have posted them here:

We just completed the first loop of our nationwide tour and we had a great time! We traveled through eleven states in three weeks and FReeped with, met with and dined with FReepers in ten cities and from at least a dozen chapters. It's great to see all our old friends again and to meet new ones. Joining a gathering of FReepers is just like going a family reunion. Very warm and friendly and just like home. Thank you all so much for your gracious hospitality and friendship!

We hope to visit all fifty states and most of our chapters within the next year or so. We hope to visit our LA Chapter on the 1st of August to tour the Reagan Library. We hope to visit our San Diego Chapter sometime this month to welcome home the USS Ronald Reagan. We're also planning a Pacific Northwest Tour in August. In January, we're planning a trip across the South and down into Florida and then up the Eastern Coast to Washington, DC for the Free Republic George W Bush Inaugural Ball II!! Woo hoo!!

Well, with the war in Iraq all but concluded, the trial of the Butcher of Iraq about to start, and the election season heating up, I'm sure that FR is going to be THE place to be to get the very latest in news and conservative discussion in the coming months.

Thank you FReepers for making FR the premier conservative forum on the Internet!

Looking forward to the coming campaign season! Good luck to all and may the very best people be chosen to lead our great nation!

Thank God for our successes thus far in the war for freedom and may He guide us through to complete victory over tyranny and terrorism.

Thank you and may God bless you all.

Jim

Can you see the graphics, but they aren't moving?

[Brad’s Gramma]

Mo, glock...everyone.....last weekend (?) my ZoneAlarm popped up w/an upgrade available. Since I'd had it for years, with no problem, I upgraded.

And whacked out Brad's computer.

THEN, not having put it together w/ZA, I did the same thing to this one.

I finally uninstalled the thing, completely, and things are running JUST FINE...all but my email. That still works, the format just looks different. THAT I can call the ISP and have them help me reconfigure. ANYWAY...did you happen to upgrade, too?

[Mo1]

Yep .. that's it

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

What would you like to know?

aw he's so cute. I think I'll name him George.

[Lady Jag]

Why, she going parking?

[Brad’s Gramma]

Nope. THEY'RE the scary ones!!!!!!

[glock rocks]

I've seen that happen on XP machines, and don't currently have an answer.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Shhhhhhhh........The Sailor might be watching.

[Mo1]

Since I'd had it for years, with no problem, I upgraded.

That was one of the many problems I had last week .. I was ready to beat the heck out of my computer .. it all started with a thing called CleverIEhooker

As for Zone Alarm?? ... Their lastest upgrade I learned had problems and they will have a patch to fix it out sometime in July.

They had me un-intall ZA and install the last version I had ... which is 4.5 somthing and everything was back to normal with that part of my problem

[Gabz]

I'm serious - we put shelf brackets and a dowel up in our bedroom to hang shirts and suits and such. Last weekend we did the same under the stairs hubby built in the living room to the attic. The attic is going to be "office" space and closet space once we get it finished.

So far I have not had to deal with the problem of unexpected company because the weather has been fine and I haven't had to invite anyone in!!!! Even if I did - I wouldn't care.

The house may be a mess, but it is clean, so I've got no problem with anyone showing up and seeing my mess. They don't like it - they are the ones with the problem.

[Brad’s Gramma]

it all started with a thing called CleverIEhooker

How'd you know you had it?

[Mo1]

OH

[Mo1]

How'd you know you had it?

I couldn't miss it .. it totally highjacked my machine
