This is the 20th anniversary of my years at FreeRepublic. I joined on November 9, 1998. I found a home here and have enjoyed my almost daily visits. Some of the most fascinating people have passed through the FR portal and the beautiful format allowed for sustained conversation and deep education of this fledgling conservative.
FR also has provided much support and guidance through the talents and knowledge and kindnesses of its members. Tied down with four children to support, homeschool, and raise, singlehandedly, I was never able to make any of the events and was sad not to attend the First Freeper Ball, although I did attend online.
Unlike some of you here I have never made close friends on the board, but I have certainly found compatriots in the walk of daily life in the political sphere.
If you notice a discrepancy in the anniversary date, I originally joined as mlmr, but had to change the handle when my marriage went south.
There are many wonderful and thoughtful people here and I am lucky to have you all. FreeRepublic encouraged me to find my own limited success on the internet at my own website column that was published in a few papers across the country.
At FR I have gotten to rub shoulders with many of my betters.
Jim you have been kind to this Freeper. Thank you.
I have often enjoyed the humor here at FR. It reminds me of the adults of my childhood, who used wryness, wit and cleverness in their conversations and stories. Growing up in our home a valued accomplishment was to be a good entertaining conversationalist.
A favorite late night classic thread:

We had a veterans’ recognition event at church last night. Our normal practice is to spend this evening watching “The Lost Battalion,” but my husband and two oldest children (27 and 24) are out of town, and I have a retreat committee meeting. Maybe the byos and I can watch a documentary this afternoon!
You’ve been a real FRiend, too. FR has been really helpful for those of us who don’t get out much.

Thank you for sticking around, and for exhibiting a degree of humility - don't remember ever seeing you involved in flame wars or personal attacks.
Not a "shameless vanity", but a good reminder for others on how to behave in cyberspace.
Happy Anniversary!

Re: 20 year anniversary.
Welcome to the club!
The Inaugural Balls (there were 2 of them) were a blast! Sorry you didn’t have a chance to make them.
Cheers, ‘Pod.
