For those of you (like me) who were asleep last night when Jim posted this:

To: All

By the way, if anyone is wondering why I used an estimate of $18,000 instead of $21,000 for our monthlies, it's because at the time I made the estimate, we had already processed and posted to the scoreboard at least $3,000 of July's monthlies. BadJoe used to process them all at once near the end of the month. Our new program processes them in weekly batches.

Also, instead of estimating our checks by using a "Million FReeper math factor" as was done in the past, we now wait and enter the checks as they're received. We've already posted one batch of checks from this fundraiser and will post another batch when Amy gets it ready tonight. And we should have another batch ready to post by Saturday. PayPal donations are posted as received. If the prior trends continue, the total of the checks received should be in the neighborhood of $8,000 to $10,000.

Therefore I am confident that this fundraiser will exceed our target and will be quite successful. If it takes until Monday to go over the top, it will have taken a day or two longer than the last one, but all in all, I'm extremely happy about the results. Free Republic will once again be on a sound financial footing and will continue as a force for our conservative causes.

I thank all of you who are working so hard to make this fundraiser and FR itself successful.

And I thank all of our FReepers and Lurkers and all who donate and or participate on FR and who are fighting for our cause of Liberty.

God bless you all!

FReepers are the greatest!!

I'm going to run (drive, actually) down to the store to pick out a Funkle present for Fawnn.

Should I be nervous? Be berry, berry afraid? ;)

[RottiBiz]

I'd be very nervous if I were you!

Maybe you should call the bomb squad to open it.

Good morning, Ed!

Did you have a chance to read post #1401 above?

[EdReform]

Yes, just read it - great news!

I've got some catching up to do...

[EdReform]

A wise Freeper once said:

"While large donations are great, often it is the small ones that are sacrificial and inspiring.

Every penny that is donated is greatly appreciated and helps to pay the bills.

Those who are not in a position right now to donate can still make an important contribution by bumping this thread or pinging others to it."

ALL donations are greatly appreciated!

That's great news - thanks Rotti for reposting it!!!!!

[ValerieUSA]

This is the old Prairie Chapel School on Prairie Chapel Road outside of Crawford, TX, near President Bush's Prairie Chapel Ranch.

[RottiBiz]

Thanks, Valerie.

I remembered seeing the picture during a previous Freepathon, but forgot what it was.

The building is so unusual and, sitting in the middle of nowhere, it gives me a feeling of total isolation.

It is a fascinating photo and I can't take my eyes off it.

[Gabz]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gabz]

It is a fascinating photo and I can't take my eyes off it.

My sentiments exactly!!!!

[glock rocks]

Maybe you should call the bomb squad to open it

call the bomb squad? ... we are the bomb squad!

oh sheesh... I forgot the pickled ginger for the shrimp spring rolls....
and while I'm thinking of it, the last time I
saw the bamboo sushi roller thingy, it was in the sandbox.

BRB

[RottiBiz]

Gabz, did you see this picture of the Prairie Chapel School?

This is the photo that fascinates me.

[Gabz]

That's exactly the one I was talking about.

I also remember it from a previous FReepathon and absolutely love it.

[Just another Joe]

No problem. You bumped the thread.
