More often than not these days, there's a fresh new thread started by nikos1121 about whatever Trump event is happening later that day.
It's always good to see those threads in the morning. I know that the guy is some kind of doctor and only has time to post in the wee hours of the morning and then at the end of a long workday. Sort of like me except my job affords me breaks during the day to check out the Free Republic. So I get bonus time. But nikos1121 does not often have time to check in during the day. But I do appreciate his posts and he's built quite a community here. I am happy to be on his ping list and if he wants to start a ping list about stamp collecting, I might sign up for it even though I don't collect stamps. I used to collect stamps as a boy but when I joined the Marines, my mother sold them at a yard sale while I was in boot camp. Along with my baseball cards, my MAD magazine collection and all my 1970s rock albums!
Your impatience at not being taken off the ping list "right away - and snap to it" reminds me of the loudmouth patrons I see at coffee shops in the morning because the person behind the counter isn't fixing their drink fast enough - usually a complicated triple-mocha-half-caf-two- Splenda-skim-milk kind of drink and he's huffing and puffing and making all a fuss because the barista isn't moving fast enough.
But that's the way it goes. Well you kind of set yourself up for a little bit for good-natured abuse here on the Free Republic. Maybe I agree with your posts most of the time. This one I don't quite agree with. Not sure what your beef with nikos1121 is. Maybe you didn't like his proposed choice for vice president? I wasn't crazy about it and I gave him a bit of grief about it. But hey, people probably won't like my choice of vice president either.
Hey Sam,
Here’s something I posted on another thread.
Might be worth a listen on one of your early morning commutes ;0) —
Here is a very good recent interview with
Senator Sessions if anyone has the Sound Cloud
app and the time. It’s 56 min long but well
worth the time.
I believe Sen Sessions should be and perhaps
will be VP. He addresses how he met Trump,
immigration, and how and why he has come to
agreement with Trump on Trade policy.

Brush the comments off...I was told I was spoiling the surprise of Donald’s pick for Vice. It irked me because its my nature to throw out ideas and then enjoy other peoples take on my thought. People here often see things in different ways and there’s a lot of times I tend to jump into a thought and don’t think it through. I’m sure I get on several people’s nerves but that’s going to happened when we voice our opinions here.
Nik thanks for all your threads.
Some of this post was fun to read, shame on your mom. :>)
I don’t consider ANY of this as “good-natured abuse.” I also don’t give a damn about the rest.
Bottomline, none of this matters, because as soon as people quit posting to me on this thread, I’ll never be on another nikos1121 thread...I won’t even bother reading them...so everyone can go on and be happy again.
BTW, you guessed it correctly, but rather than give him grief, I chose to simply move on and not read any more of his junk. ;>)
