Is there a specific date FreeRepublicans celebrate FR's birth? Or is there a day it ought to be celebrated (besides every day)?

[nicmarlo]

Well....look what that cat dragged in!! : )

Hi Budge! Good to see you. Hope you’re doing well. Life has gotten busy, hasn’t it??

Morning to all.

[Congressman Billybob]

What a delight to read your I-remember-when post. Us fossils have to stick together. And my memory is starting to leak, also. LOL. It really should be JimRob's right to pick a Free Republic birthday out of a hat, and say, this is it.

Congressman Billybob

Latest article, "Hillary is a Criminal: Here's Proof"

My announcement of running for Congress in 2008 appears here.

Hmmm. Tails, huh.

No point in asking you for a date...

[null and void]

By golly, some actually remember me!

Only because we remember your cat in a mixing bowl...

[ErnBatavia]

What exactly did Buckwheat do?

[reagan_fanatic]

I was here back when you had to close your html's!

So was I.

I remember when someone would super-size their text and forget to close it, and the following posts would appear in huge letters until someone corrected it.

Those days were great!

*sniff* Bring back the scrolling marquee command...

[Bob J]

Who could forget you? I remember you helping me load all that stuff in the van the morning of the rally.

What a day!

[Budge]

Are you talking about Gary Aldrich and this book, perhaps?

BINGO, that's the one. I still have that treasure, safely packed away...I moved recently and a lot of stuff/treasures are still packed away. :)

Hi Nic! I thought we were supposed to slow down around 65 or so. Not so, I'm buiser now at (almost) 73 than I was 10 years ago!<

Hi SL! E-mail me your number, would love to just chat a bit.

[Budge]

Good to hear from you John! <

I still am loving reading what you write.

BTW, how's the election going?

[Budge]

...and a good time was had by all! LOL

I also remember T'wit getting such a kick out of me 'policing' the grounds and putting cigarette butts in the hollow of my arm. He told that story several times here. :)

[Steve Van Doorn]

Oh the good old day’s when everything was classified under White Water.

[nicmarlo]

Glad to hear that you’re so busy...that means you’re also healthy!

I will be in and out of FR for the next couple of months, so, in case I miss you in the meantime....Happy Thanksgiving, lol!

[fatima]

Hey how did I miss that.I want a mug that says FATIMA:)

[Congressman Billybob]

The election process has just begun. I have a good shot at the nomination. And if I get the nomination, I should defeat the temporary Democrat incumbent. Thanks for asking.

Make that “AWhitewaterResearcher” (corrected screen name)!

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

I'm with you!

I was one of those who presented David Schippers with the FR award at his office here in Chicago, and thus was in a great position to ask him to autograph my copy of this book:

I enjoyed A+Bert (and others) Don Morgan and his Ash and Lemming Alerts.

There are many ghosts of Freepers past that made the forum what it is today. I can still find them in cyberspace on different forums.

The flame wars were passionate, exhausting and provided great entertainment. Only the strong survived back then. But that was before we had Mods and abuse buttons..sigh..:)
