A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....01-11,12-03...Week in Review

Posted on 01/11/2003 8:04:33 AM PST by Billie




A Few of FR's Finest.....
......Every Day

FR is a Treasure Trove of talented, compassionate, patriotic, wonderful people who gather every day to discuss the latest news and issues; salute and support our military and our leaders;  tell a few jokes;  learn a new word;  write poetry;  pray for those in need;  and congratulate those who are deserving. Thank you, Jim Robinson, for giving us the vehicle in which we can express ourselves.

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   I can remember lurking when there were only a few regulars who posted, and now there are over 60,000 who have registered for posting privileges. The forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.






A Few of FR's Finest November 11, 2001

So many people have written me since my original Veteran's Day Tribute, asking how they, or a loved one, could be included in that tribute. Since I can no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I've been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.

Still that doesn't seem to be enough. I think there's never been a better nor more appropriate time to keep the faces of our own Veterans and Active Military in front of FReepers--every day! That's why I wanted to do yet another Daily Thread .....ABOUT FReepers .....and FOR FReepers. But not only about our Military FReepers; for all FReepers! Wouldn't it be nice to get to know a few of the other FReepers as well? That's why, in addition to seeing FR's Finest Military Personnel every day, I thought it might be fun to feature a different FReeper (or FReepers) each day. If you would like to be pictured, or know someone who would, please FReepmail me and we'll turn the spotlight - on YOU - for the day!

And do let me know if you'd like your picture added to the groups of Veterans/Active Military below. I will keep this page updated, and continue to add them to the comment section of the original Veteran's Day thread as well.

To Our FReeper FRiends:   We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our spotlight on various FReepers. We thought we'd kick back on the weekends and simply review those who've been featured during the week. If you missed seeing them and want to say hello to them now, feel free to click on the link to that particular thread. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today and tomorrow, please feel free to do that also. One of us will always be around to see the welcome mat is still out, and maybe even put fresh flowers on the table. :)

WOW! I can't even remember the last time I did the Weekend Thread! My Weekend "template" was old and outdated, and it took a while for me to bring it up to date! :)

Lori's DSL is down, so here is your coffee and breakfast buffet. Enjoy!

Good Morning Everyone.

What a beautiful morning in the Central Valley; we had some fog last night and early this morning but now wonderful sunshine. I was expecting a grey and dreary day.

Good Morning! Be sure to watch and root for the Eagles tonight. I will be sad if they lose.

We're all late on the weekend Billie, no problem! Thanks for the tasty breakfast choices there - is that fresh squeezed orange juice? Yum, ust like liquid sunshine :) Which reminds me... here in WA state no citrus trees gow. But when I visited in-laws in Arizona they had lemon trees in their back yard. It was my first time to smell those fragrant blossoms and pick little fruits from the tree. Such a treat. I've always enjoyed seeing plants with real veggies and fruit ripening on the vine. Artichokes, bananas, loofas are interesting ones. Brussel sprouts too. :) Rubber trees, mangoes fresh from an orchard, haven't seen a rambutan plant yet though. It's always good to have a goal! LOL
Winter garden good morning!
