Hey Snow Bunny! Thanks! I'm glad you think my babies are cuties; it means a lot to me! I think they hung the moon, personally, but I'm a little bitty bit prejudiced!!

I'm in a bit of a better mood than I have been; I am finally able to eat like a semi-normal person after that last surgery. At loooooong last! I was soooooo hungry -- and always for things I couldn't eat! (Naturally!!)

AFVetGal -- hope to hear from you soon!!

Setting my little Bassets on the trail of "mo money" on this thread too!

I am so glad you are feeling better. It really is good to see you.

About those contributions my l'il ol' hound dogs are sniffing out -- they'll find 'em! There is absolutely no reason for anyone to be "sniggering" about any perceived lack of donations, or membership numbers, or anything of that nature. FReepers always come through. Always.

And anyone who can't believe the operating costs for FR obviously doesn't have the traffic volume or membership numbers anywhere near the same ballpark as Free Republic! If they don't believe it, they are showing nothing but ignorance. That's hardly anything for them to be laughing about! Just think about it for a sec; one's own ignorance isn't really funny! The teasing crew may learn that eventually.
