[Billie]

Good morning Pretty, when are ya gonna go for a ride with the old curmudgeon ?? :o)

Morning, bikerfriend! Can we get a bike with a sidecar? I don't see much room on the back of that one! LOL

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Congratulations Jim!
And Thank You for all the many things you do for Free Republic.

[lodwick]

You guys are making me smiley today! Thanks a ton.

Whoever's doing this thread tomorrow, please consider featuring Uncle Sam, or someone whose day won't be spent at the keyboard. ;-)

[Diver Dave]

What a great wish you extended to JL.

Jim, that's a keeper 'fur shure.' Worthy of a cut, paste, print and hang on the wall.

[Billie]

Love what you said about being here! Thanks, Julie, it's a nice feeling - exactly what we had hoped for.

[lodwick]

Hi Brian - thanks for your kind words. Coming from someone who busts his butt every day for our FR, and for our Country, they are really appreciated. Have yourself a super day, and a better one tomorrow on our Country's birthday. JL

[Billie]

Hi, Timeout - really nice to see you come over and give Lodwick his due praise. :)

[Billie]

:) That would be Mama_Bear, and you can be assured she has something wonderful planned. :)

[lodwick]

Yes sir - those words and thoughts gave Mr.Jim a huge warm smile - just like everyone's has.

This day is gonna wear me out - you'll see, one of these days when you least expect it. ;-)

Kidding about wanting to be a Finest FReeper profilee, or kidding about your inflated ego?..lol....

[Diver Dave]

Mornin' Ladies. Sure do like the concept of these threads.

AttaGirls!

[ST.LOUIE1]

My fifteen minutes of 'fame' would only inflate my ego..... ....more than it is. LOL
Uh....you do know I'm kidding....right?

Yep! LOL

Methinks you jest, Ms. Billie. : )

[dutchess]

What a neat report on your son. Eric sounds like a wonderful young man. And I wholeheartedly agree that we need an ongoing Eric update. Would be a great trainer for other freeper kids who are considering the military!

BTW, are you doing RED, WHITE and BOOM??? Maybe we'll bump into you. I'll be sure to wear my March for Justice Freeper TSHIRT! Surely you'll be able to spot me out of 10,000 plus folks LOL

I'll be the radio watchstander at the Coast Guard Base on the 4th
from 7:30AM-after the local fireworks are over.
I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate the 4th!

[dutchess]

Meetings over and I'M BAAAACK! But this time only for 15 minutes. I REALLY REALLY mean it this time.

My secretary is on vacation this week (it's just the two of us) and she left me a TO DO list (did I say I was the boss???) Haven't accomplished one of them (and unfortunately freeping was NOT on the list).

As I tremble and tremor...I am about to sign off RIGHT NOW!Well...maybe in a few more minutes....

P.S. You have freepmail

That sounds wonderful. BOOM! ;-)

Nice to see the Guild over here giving our Lodwick his due....The Guild stories we could tell of Lodwick could go on and on...He laughs with us and cries with us and he in turn makes us laugh and cry....On a daily basis!

When we were doing Care packages for the troops on the USS Roosevelt, he was so concerned that they get everything they needed. When HLL mentioned that they could probably use some lip balm, well our guy got right on it and sent HLL over 100 tubes of Avon Lip Balm which caused HLL to quip "The next time I see a photo of the USS Roosevelt crew, they had better be wearing lip balm".

Another time, he sent HLL a check and instructed her to go out and buy some half-price Halloween candy (after 10/31) and send to the troops in the Guild Care package. He had been shopping and noticed what a tremendous buy that was (Hey just because one is GENEROUS does not mean one cannot be THRIFTY).....

Thanks for your moving tribute HLL. And yes, he did get the Guild their button and out of the cheese hole, too....

[lodwick]

Don't ya just HATE IT when work tries to interfere with freeping? ;-)

[GatorGirl]

Thanks daisy for the great thread..

Best wishes to Lodwick, enjoy your day! GG

[lodwick]

Daisy - please. These things were done because 1) They needed to be done, or 2) I was able to do them. Not to have my horn tooted. So to speak. ;-)
