Hi, JustFRiendAmy! I saved you a Danish - a fresh one. (T Man's stash is separate from the rest of ours. He's kinda special, you know) :)

Good morning to you, Aquamarine...pleased you stopped by to say hello...thanks for the very kind words....)

[jwfiv]

Thank you kindly, Mo1...for the greeting, and that cute little mouse...looks to me like he knows how to relax and enjoy a fine day like this one.

[Diver Dave]

Mornin' to the Hostesses of FR's Finest... 'Tis a great thing you do each and every day.

I went ahead and helped myself to the breakfast spread and coffee.

How's about a seasonal bouquet?

Thanks for all you do here.

[JustAmy]

Congratulations, jwfiv on being today's FR's Finest!
It is a pleasure getting to know you thru you bio.

[jwfiv]

Good morning and thank you, for your compliments, and taking a moment to say hello.

Have always thought you screen name is verrrrrry cool....FreeTheHostages...yes, indeed!

I hope your day is filled with a peaceful, easy feeling, with zero hassle and lotsa joy.

[FreeTheHostages]

Thank you! I'm glad you like my screenname -- I kinda regret it because it's too long, but it comes from joining a DC Freep outside the Chinese embassy when they had our air crew hostage. That's how I found Free Republic.

Friends call me "FTH" for short. You can call me "FTH." :)

[Diver Dave]

Nice to meet ya, jwfiv. What a great bio.

Welcome to FR's Finest... Hall of Fame.

Atta Boy, jwfiv!!!

[WVNan]

Thanks Maggie. I love Garfield. I've got to go now. Have lots of work to do. Hope I can come back later this evening. Everyone have fun.

Didn't WVNan have a birthday last year?
She gonna keep doing this?

[jwfiv]

Hi Billie...I see you found room for the October photo...that was quite a day, the Charger won one, and I had a breakfast almost as good as yours.

Have been saying hello to everyone at our table this morning, it is an immense joy...feeling overwhelmed, and most unworthy, but sure glad to be a Freeper.

Hope your day is going well.

[JustAmy]

Good Morning, Ladtx.
Thank you for honoring these four young men who paid the ultimate price for our freedoms.
May God Bless and Comfort their Families and Friends. God Bless you, Ladtx and God Bless America.

[LadyX]

jwfiv, it is delightful to learn more about you!
1998 was an exciting time on Free Republic, in the Whitewater Days.

We are blessed indeed to be safely beyond the Clinton Years, and have a Commander-in-Chief we can respect.

Good morning, WVNan, you're certainly right about snowfall...it's been many years since I was near the real thing...thank you for posting the photo, and the feeling behind it.

Also, thanks for the other picture, the Indian and Liberty...extremely cool image and vision.

Hope your day is going well...)

[JustAmy]

Morning Meekie.
Since you broke the hot chocolate, I'll have a cup of coffee this morning. Thank You.

[jwfiv]

Thanks, Mixer. Always glad to see your animated handle dancing on this thread...thank you for what you say about my art.

Yes, I think I am enjoying this day in the spotlight, you've been there and know...I just feel really privileged and humbled...)

[Cold Heat]

I really enjoyed reading your story!

Your conversion from a idealist liberal to conservatism was definitely different. Usually it takes three kids and a mortgage!LOL!

I have seen some of your art on the web in the past. It is surely fine work! Especially the sci-fi stuff. (I am a Heinlein Buff)

Also, we were both born in 51!

Enjoy your day in the spotlight, as I did mine! It is good to know you better.

[Diver Dave]

...but there is always enough room for a danish...

Mornin' Amy. Were you talking about pastry or me? :)

[The Thin Man]

T Man's stash is separate from the rest of ours. He's kinda special, you know

I'm deeply touched. Unfortunately, I can't show my appreciation now since I'm getting my stomach pumped.
