Howlin! One of my Freeper heroines! I remember when I was a newbie how much I laughed at your antics. I still do in fact. I always know when I see your name attached to something, I am in for a VBG! (as we stroll down memory lane!)

Ya'll wanna hear a funny on me?

I went to the March for Justice rally in D.C.

My roommate got so drunk that I had to haul her into the cab for the ride to our hotel.

Well, the cabbie has this STRANGE GUY sitting in the front seat and I was extremely nervous about getting in with my drunken friend. WHO was this stranger, anyway??? WHY was he in OUR cab anyway?? WHAT were his motives?

Well, he kindly introduced himself as the cab pulled from the curb. (He also explained sharing cabs was common in D.C.).... His name? Kristinn!! LOL!

I've been thinking about those "old" days this last week, with all the live threads. It's FR at its best, don't you think? We've had LOTS of laughs mixed in with the fury!

Want to know how I got hooked on FreeRepublic ?

It was during the insane Clinton years. I had the radio ( tuned to Rush )and the T.V. ( no FOX cable yet available here, back in '98, so I was forced to watch CNN et al )on, and was reading 6 newspapers a day ... screaming at all of them. I was reading EVERY book and every news magazine I could find ; screaming, out loud, at all of them and feeling rotten. My husband first found DRUGE and then FR. Blame him .... he got me hooked on FR ( as a way to avoid hearing me yell at inanimate objects, I think ) and I've been here ever since. I lurked for almost a year, before I joined and have been here ever since. :-)
