Thank you all for being around a little today. I had a LONG meeting I just got out of. Thanks guys, and for your kind words!

[FreeTheHostages]

Yup! {{LadyX}} We have the most delightful field trips, don't we? I enjoyed touring Freeper Island the other day and seeing what fun was wrought there.

Thanks for stopping by -- and noticing how special Exit148 is. In the course of writing this profile, I came to realize just how much love-of-life and enthusiasm she has. She's great!

Congratulations, Exit148! You certainly deserve recognition for all you do and have done here at Free Republic, as a member in good standing of the DC Chapter and the Tri-State Chapter, and for all the other interesting things you manage to work into your schedule. Thanks for sharing.

Whether we are standing outside the tourists' exit gate on Pennsylvania Avenue, outside the Hilton for our annual WHCA dinner freep, on the corner welcoming Hillary's fundraiser guests, yelling "Get Out Of Cheney's House!", countering the anti-war and anti-American protests, off on a girls only outing in Tunica, MS, or just having a good time at the MRC Dishonors Awards, it has been a pleasure to know you and freep with you. I am happy that you have become a good friend and a treasured member of the DC Chapter and I look forward to many more years in your company.

Enjoy your day!

Aw, Billie, thanks for helping out with the hosting too! What a lovely thread this is turning out to be. {{Billie}} You do the best graphics! And thank you for your guidance on length, etc.

.very cool that you did a sign in Chinese for our foreign visitors...betcha they still talk about that

She did several signs -- different Chinese characters on different Freeps. And yup, the DC Chapter and no doubt the Chinese tourists are still talking about it!

Why thank you, JustAmy!

[FreeTheHostages]

LOL, the "other night" was quite a party, was it not? I arrived late in the action and found the thread proceeding very quickly to parts unknown, perhaps the end of the known universe.

[FreeTheHostages]

Thanks for dropping by! A lovely monicker for our theme today, "teacup"! :)

[FreeTheHostages]

A good summary, Pip!

[FreeTheHostages]

Thanks for dropping by & come back anytime. That was such a lovely note to leave for Exit148!

[Bigg Red]

Excellent tribute to a great lady! Thank you, FTH.

Congratulations, Exit148, for a well-deserved tribute.

[FreeTheHostages]

This transparent effort, TTM, to sew discord in the strong bond between Billie and me will not work. The only person who can come between me and Billie is wolfie, inasmuch as we both with to please him the most.

[Exit148]

Love the 'jump-roping panda'!!I just borrowed (read - kidnapped) him for future pleasure. Allowed?

[FreeTheHostages]

Thanks so much for providing forward momentum for this thread while I was in the World's Most Boring Meeting. Wow, I wished I coulda brought margaritas to the meeting.

[FreeTheHostages]

That's a great tip -- I didn't know about the three fingers.

[FreeTheHostages]

Yes, Billie, I would note that there's apparently some gambling going on, and not just with Bill Bennett! Angelwood and Exit148 went on a gambling trip together!! LOL, I don't know the details, but as an inquisitive reporter, I'm all ears . . . .

Thanks for dropping by!
