    I am looking to switch auctions sites away from Ebay since they have made huge monatiary demands upon small sellers like myself. I have only heard of bidville.com and yahoo.com auctions. I was not impressed with yahoo. I am in need of good freeper advice please. I know that the buyers will not follow as quick as the sellers, but I figure that eventually the buyers will go where the action is. So I don't mind slower sells for a while.

Sophocleus faces incumbent Democrat Don Siegelman and Republican U.S. Rep. Bob Riley in the Nov. 5 general election for governor. A former employee of Ford Motor Co.,...

    I need help fellow FReepers. I am having trouble recording my LP's, albums, 12" to my hard drive of my computer. I have got my "line-in" working from the sterio system. Music plays over my speakers. I downloaded MusicMatch Jukebox because it had a "line-in" record feature. It did record but it was horrible. The recording had skips, jumps, errors, ect...

Do any of you brilliant FReepers have another program or ...

Comparing God’s attitude and behavior with that of the Church today shows that believers are far more polite, tolerant, understanding and respectful to the wicked than God is. The Church is also less offensive, rude and sarcastic than God’s men in the Bible were. And no ...
