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

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997. Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and 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....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!
~ Billie, Mama_Bear, dansangel, dutchess, Aquamarine ~

To Our FReeper FRiends: We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. We thought we'd kick back on the weekends and simply review the features of the week. If you missed seeing them and want to say hello there 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. ~ Billie

Good morning/afternoon all. Stopping by with some flowers and a quick 'hello' before I take off to get the last of my shopping done.

Have a wonderful Sunday.....and be careful out there.

     8.  Add 1/2 oz. of Bols Triple Sec (nothing but the best!).
     9.  Add "a splash" of Bols Orange Curaco (shh... secret ingredient).
     10. Cover shaker tightly!
     11. Shake vigorously.
     12. Flip shaker in midair twice (three times if you're a pro).

GACK!!!!!!!!!!! It's not halloween, MnM!!

Now that is a beautiful picture! I see from the properties that this church is in Taos. I love the adobe Spanish architecture of the south west.

Good morning! He's back home. They found 85% blockage in an Artery. I am dumbfounded that they let him go home. He is supposed to call the doctors tomorrow and set up an appointment for the the first of the year.

He sounded cheerful and upbeat and was working on his sermon for this morning. Two weeks is a long time in the life of a diabetic, especially one with his problems.

Ray told me that his blood sugar level went down to 50 while they were waiting for the proceedure to begin. I'm scared that the waiting and then the fasting that has to be done before the procedure just puts a greater strain on his heart each time.

Amazing Yer Honor, again it fits with circumstances in my life.

[dixie sass]

Wow! I ping a bunch of people to it with the comment about this is why the military is Time Magazines Man of the Year.

[dixie sass]

"O' Little Town of Bethlehem" was the first thing that crossed my mind as your picture in all of it's simplistic beauty came on my screen.

How serene and calming are the colors and the composition.

[dixie sass]

Ummmmmmmmmm, they smell good Mama Bear. Have fun in the maddening crowds!

[dixie sass]

Rotfl, men never learn do they? You just can't put something like that out there without it being clicked on!!!! Oh well, that's our guys, sweet but a little, ummmmm, well, sweet.

[Libertina]

Wonderful, heart-moving pictures... LOL I don't think our troops are quite used to the custom of getting kissed yet ;)

[FreeTheHostages]

Wow, that's a hauntingly beautiful pic.

[Syncro]

Replace that Quervo...(He is no friend of mine) with Sauza Hornitos. It is better than some $100 stuff, and is only about Ten bucks.

I forgot the "cover shaker tightly"...

What a mess!

[Pippin]

Good Morning, (((Free)))!

I hope I get that computer soon! :O)

[Calpernia]

Morning to the Finest!

[The Mayor]

An angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid." —Matthew 1:20

You don't need to know where you're going if you let God do the leading.

[FreeTheHostages]

good morning, guys!

[Pippin]

GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY!!!

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]
