My dear Grampa,

If anyone deserves a personal compliment from me, it has to be you. Even if you put me in time out during the FReepathon!!!

If it weren't for your direction I would never have been able to do any of the graphic things I try to do during the FReepathons. In fact, if it weren't for you - I probably still wouldn't be able to do anything when it comes to dealing with graphics on FR!!

But beyond your assistance in the html category - I owe you major thanks for many of your insightful thoughts. You are a voice of reason when so often I am receiving only the voice of extreme.

thank you Grampa!!!

It makes Grampa so proud/happy to see the growth of his grand daughter Gabz on Free Republic.

Remember, this is our secret and we don't tell my Grand Daughter who gets jealous when others adopt me as their grampa.

Seriously, you do such a great job on the thons, and your html skills are now past mine. You are a great asset to Free Republic.

When, you see and hear the voices of the extreme, you have to ask a simple question. Why are they being so extreme? The answer to that question cuts through the hot rhetoric and exposes them in most cases to be petty bully thugs who can't win in life the normal ways. They never bring anything of value to life.

Have a great summer, and I'm looking forward to working with you and the other great freepers. Behave yourself, so we will not have to have time outs during the next fun fest. :)
