[Angelwood]

Words are just inadequate to convey how very much I appreciate the efforts you both expended to put together this truly beautiful tribute to me. Thank you most sincerely.

LOL, um, would you still say that if the links on the thread weren't working? Yes, I think you would. {{{angelwood}}}

Here's a fun fact about Angelwood:

DC Chapter Freepers are, well, Freepers: your independent, conservative types. How do you herd the cats into an effective, integrated team. Hmmmm. You really only have two choices. Either you actually do start feeding them drugged KoolAid and beaming messages into their brains via tinfoil hats, or you're going to have to lead by inspirational example rather than by "managing" these types. Someone once posted on some obscure thread here that all DC Chapter members thought alike. I posted some joke about how yes, we all wear tinfoil hats and drink the same Kool-Aid, that’s why we all think alike and pinged my fellow Chapter members to flame (DID I SAY FLAME? I MEANT "MOCK")the very idea. We had Kool-Aid and donned tinfoil hats at our next meeting to celebrate the joke.

The idea of such a disparate group of people mindlessly agreeing with each other and marching in lockstep made Angelwood laugh so hard she had tears in her eyes at the meeting! (See the DC Chapter Cracks Up! thread.) It should reflect favorably on our chapter leaders that FReepers who don't regularly attend DC Chapter meetings think we always agree. We keep it "in the house" outta respect for our leaders.

Good morning, Angelwood - I do hope you get to spend some time here this afternoon - do we need to speak to your bosses?! This is, after all, your day on FR!

Had such fun doing the layout with this one - knew just exactly the look I wanted for yours when Free and I discussed 'angels'. :)

Angelwood rocks!

Agreed Angel, that this is a beautiful tribute. But the tribute is only as beautiful as the person being presented, and in this case we have the Queen of Freeperdom. What you have done for America goes far and away beyond the call of duty. I stand in awe of your abilites in confronting liberals, explaining conservative values, putting yourself in harms way, reporting historical events in vivid detail, and being a living inspiration to every Freeper on Free Republic. I just want to say THANK YOU!
