It has taken 2 years 3 months to produce this product. Over 1100 recipes were presented by 200+ Freepers, and another 34 Cookbook threads with thousands of posts to sift through, to accumulate 15 different categories of recipes, shopping, housekeeping, cooking, and baking tips. A small group of folks had to make suggestions, and conclusions, and come to aggreements Re: cartoons, links, sayings, comments, indexed, and original Freeper humor. All of this had to be discussed, culled, and approved, to begin the hard stuff.
Over that time, thousands of hours of IM's, E-mail's, telephone calls, fax's, FedEx's, UPS's, snail mail, and Freep mails had to be written, read, analyzed, considered and responded to. All of this had be completed before we could start editing, formatting, lay-out and page designed and proofed.
Thennnnnnnn, additional hours of discussions re: colors, sizes, trims, printer searches, specs, standards and quotes. All of this time and efforts were expended by people that have talked, laughed, argued, screamed, and yes cried, just to work as much as 18 hours a day, and more than a few all-nightsers. Many of these items costs were staggering, and neverending, and the toll became stressful and downright sad for the handful of folks that did this all for your enjoyment ...FREE.... GRATIS
