that is great to have both you and your husband be active and healthy!

What threads did you share “way back then?”. I recall a friendly one with the deviled egg dish as being a requirement.

We called them the “Granny” threads. Granny was a dear soul house bound with breathing issues but had a vast knowledge of olden days. I believe in her younger years one of her occupations was prospecting for gold with her husband. She was a prolific poster and there were several 10,000+ threads. Sadly, she passed away a few years ago.

One thread that I got involved in was about O’Bama’s draft card. It was postmarked just 80 and I and other Freepers maintained that someone had taken a 2008 rubber stamp, cut the numbers 20 off and turned it upside down to look like he submitted a draft card in 1980. I worked in various departments of the postal service for 25 years and never encountered a date stamp with just 2 digits-always all four digits. Some here maintained the date stamp was legit but having worked for Postal Service Examiners and at the main office in D.C. and changed the date stamp at years end for many years, and never encountering a 2 digit year date, I still maintain that date stamp was forged. However, just one of many shady deals O’Bama got away with.

Another thread I regret replying to concerned our resident curmudgeon and I foolishly took the bait being disgusted with his nastiness. You never win debating someone with no scruples.
