 This site Freddy, I was just looking back at some of the old topics.
When you started this site did you ever imagine the effect it would have on people?
Look at the number of friendship that have been started. I have friends here that I've never met and I feel like some of yall are family.
I can't believe I have been coming here daily for almost 7 years. Man time fly's.
Thanks for putting this thing together.
Tim

I have been hanging around here starting in Dec. 2004. I agree with all thats been said in this post. I check in almost everyday at least once up to 15 or 20 times per day. I check in more on week days, well thats because I am at work on weekdays, and you all know that we need a little break @ work, at least 15 or 20 a day.
Thanks too Freddy

Yep, this is the greatest website ever. Heck, it's my home page! Thanks for creating and maintaining this site Freddy! I have made a lot of friends here and as Econo said, I probably check in 15 to 20 times a day! (seriously  )

Yeah, This sight is great. I love how everyone is more than willing to help each other out. I've got to meet some great people here and I've got to enjoy in others excitement by reading their stories it is almost like I was there too. Unlike other boards I've been on there are never rude remarks here. So a big thanks to you Freddy for starting something that is Great.

Ditto on all that's been said. I honestly don't remember the first time I chimed in here - I could go back & look - it's been several years. But in a day & time where self gratification & self serving personalities seem to abound, this site truely has been about respect, friendship, and serving others. The picnic is like a family reunion - I said that after the first one I attended.
Thanks Freddy for what you have done. Truely an awesome place.

You are all correct!
Remember, unless we help, Freddy and Amy shoulder the burden of paying for this site and all of our check-ins! If you can, send a few dollars Freddy's way to help the McGuire's cover the cost of this irreplaceable site!
You can send him a check, or he has a PayPal account.
Show the love guys! Show it in a tangible way!
