Well yall the gig is up...free republic has shamed me into the truth...
So here for the firs time I will post some pictures of the improvements Termite and I have made to our home with the nearly 7,000,000 in donations we have received thus far. First off even thought a pool is impractical in Seattle what real home would not have one? So trees in the backyard be damned...I wanted a bit bigger pool but Termite said this one was a bit more intimate and would suit our needs better.



What home is not complete without a bath worthy of a Roman Emperor? A home I am not prepared to live in that is for sure. Despite our home's 1140 square foot, foot print we were able to squeeze in this humble bath and still have room for some of the other goodies yet to come.



Finally for a kitchen we opted for something understated yet elegant...A room where family and friends could gather together and reminisce about all the grate times we had scamming unsuspecting Freepers. Besides after the bath and kitchen there would be no room for anything else. Oh well life is good.



BTW...you'd think the Freepers would be pissing all over themselves to get to Hopkins to win that $100 reward proving I am not there. Tell ya what freepers...lets make it interesting...I will double that amount.

:hi:

5. Only $100? Cheapskates...
One would think that considering the possible entertainment value of such a revelation, they could get enough amongst them to pony up a bit more than that, even if they were resorting to change. I know a few freeper types that brag about individually spending more than that on their weekly strip-club 5 drink minimum luncheons.

Glad you're feeling somewhat better. BTW, you need to get a heater for that outside pool; it can be frosty cold in the mornings.

and are skateboading around Yosemite with your pals before they get their crap together to check it out. Then, through the application of rigorous Freeper logic, they will claim your absence is "proof" it was all a fraud.

Speedy recovery, dude. Oh ... and when's the pool party? :party:

Termite was trying to tell me I had to dig the hole. :crazy:
I am so relieved, but now, what am I supposed to do with the shovel?





It is good to see you are able to laugh at their craziness! :hi: Laughter is the best medicine. :silly:

Hugs to you and termite! :grouphug:

16. Hi there Andy! So good to hear from YOU!
I hope you are feeling much better today. I sent you a PM about a subscription. Are you set up there to take advantage of it?
Dezika (sp?) is trying to keep us on task. Many good wishes for a speedy recovery coming your way! P.S. I listened to Delbert Vreelands interview on www.meria.net day before yesterday.

17. Hey, can we all come and dress up the statues?
Indoor pool is nice for you. No worry about your sunscreen failing! I hear it's a deep pool though. Better get some of those floatie things for your mai tais!

Glad they left your funny bone in tact. :)

20. Dressing the statues is so...shall we say...freeper passe...
we have decided to just paint the genetials instead to display our extreme decadence to the freepers.

In memory of those 'Hollywood types' from a bygone era who froliced and mocked a king of yellow jornalism?

I have lots of cool hats I'll share ;)

18. Hon, with the "haul" you made you can do better than to double that $100.
What ARE you cheap? You must be "house poor" if you can't do better than a lousy $200!

Admit it--you are REALLY taking a tropical vacation on the island you bought with your ill gotten gains. Admit it, you are here:




And you are wearing this:



Andy, I am so glad to see you are feeling well enough to post already. It is good to see you out and about!!!

25. As an added bonus...there is no Diabetes.
I am still facing chemo and radiation...but one step at a time right now.

At this point in time...I am just happy to be alive and kicking.

21. Andy?
Is it true that the household staff members are becoming too informal considering their position in society? It is impossible to find good help! They should be grateful you are taking them in!;)



I hope that you are able to get away from the daily grind soon on your yacht...

And I'm sure you've hired all the best-looking cabana boys to hand us our towels and give massages. ;-)

I'm glad to see you are taking the humorous approach.

I mean who would live in a place like that without nekkid housekeeping staff? WTF? Not a pix of a nekkid maid or valet anywhere? What's up with the lady in the kitchen she shoulda been nekkid too.

39. I've finally been quoted in Freepville!!!
Thanks to you, Andy, I have finally earned my DU-freep merit badge. I was quoted for saying that I didn't think it was possibly a scam, but I referenced the scam of the "election." Of course, that subject always gives them fits.

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

41. Free Republic actually has an award out there for anyone proving you've
scammed DUers? Am I reading this correctly?

They need to get a life. God help the poor lonely little Freeper who has a serious problem, who goes to what he thinks is his community at FR and asks for help. I daresay offers of prayer would be all he gets.
