Hiya, Billie, good morning to you...waking up just in time to have a cup of your good coffee at the FR Cafe. Thank you. Good morning also to your fellow angels...Dansangel, Mama_Bear, Miss daisyscarlett.

COB1, I'm thowing a big and hearty West Texas Atta-boy your way. Thanks for all your Freepin' duties, your long ago active and reserve duties, too. I'm glad to start the day with a memory of Chief Negotiatior, bless his heart. Keep up the good work, pardner. Semper fi and abundant blessings.

(Dubya rocks, rolls and rules...sure grateful we have one of your neighbors sitting in the Captain's chair.)

[ladyinred]

Good morning Billie, and good morning Cobby!
Gee, what can I say? Cobby was one of my first friends on FR. We met in the Smokers Lounge and I was just bowled over by his outrageous humor! It wasn't long before I realized that he wasn't just funny, he had a heart as big as Texas, and a temper just about as big as that flag he posts that is the biggest one in the known universe according to him! But he gets over pretty quick too, right Cobby? ( I hope so anyway!:-)

We had the pleasure of his company in Fresno at our tailgate party, and I was so happy to finally meet my cyber buddy! I must say, I was along side when Cool Guy gave him that cool California welcome! I saw it coming and I got the heck out of the way after having my purse drenched when Chadsworth got the same treatment! He was a great sport about it, and I would guess that after the shock was over, he felt pretty good as it was soooo hot that day!

Cobby, I am so glad to you are being honored today! Another birthday present to one of the finest guys on FreeRepublic, and one I proudly call my friend!

[dansangel]

Wonderful tribute, Billie! And, a wonderful subject that you have portrayed.

Cob: You add a certain sense of "genuineness" to Free Republic. Real people working towards a safe and free government is what FR is all about, not role-playing and mind-games. You have always worn your heart on your sleeve and are to be greatly admired for that!

May God Bless you abundantly and may you continue to enrich our lives with your passion and wisdom. FR is a much better place for having you among its ranks.

Come join us as we 'roast' yet another FReeper. :)

I thought being douced with water was bad enough, but this is going too far.

COB, I disassociate myself completely from Billie's cannibalistic ways. :-)

Congrats, on your day!

[Mama_Bear]

Cob, it was so nice to meet you at the Tailgate party. It meant so much to us that you would come from so far away. Looking forward to your next visit "before the end of the year".

Thanks for all you do. You are very highly thought of. 'round these parts. :-)
