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!

Last, but certainly not least, I couldn't decide which quote to use, so I'm leaving it all up to you to decide....or submit your own. (Now, unlike our own Freezie's "contests", this is just for fun; the prize is your own satisfaction for knowing your subjects well. :)

Yeah, I'm keeping that list too. Will make a hard copy.

[dutchess]

Hi favorite finest friends....Survived the snow and off to bed.... So good to see you both here. Maggie...ouch on your storms yesterday! Gosh...bad weather certainly follows you!

Nan...again thanks for prayers over my flying lesson the other day. It actually was an awesome experience. But...not to worry...this Saturday is ground school... Looking forward to Friday's thread :)

[LadyX]

Double-checked the schedule, and no Animal Planet on our cable...:(

[Dubya]

Yes it sure can. I am going to save it.

[WVNan]

Good to see you dutchess. Glad your flying lesson went well. I'm excited about Friday's thread too. I will miss Friday night as I have to go out, but hope to spend most of the day here. Have a good night dutchess.

[WVNan]

Drat. I think he's going to be on one segment that has to do with horses.

[LadyX]

Now that you mention it, dutchess, I have dodged a whole slew of bullets in my lifetime!

Many, many hurricanes up and down the Eastern seaboard and even remnants inland - the Blizzard of '78 in Tiffin, Ohio, two fronts converging on my bedroom wall at 1 in the a.m.; snowed in for 4 days - the Good Friday Hurricane in Alaska in 1964 - must have some kind of invisible Gardoll shield around me..:))

[WVNan]

That's the Shield of Faith me girl, the Shield of Faith. Works all the time.

I get bored with it and put it up for a while, then go back to it, eventually I finish them, as my hubby will atest to. Sometimes one of the processes is hard on my hands, and I then switch to one of the others that is not so hard. The one on my frame is a small lap quilt, a Churn Dash done up in patriotic colors. The one which needs the brown fabric will take me the longest as I've had a hard time locating the brown fabric. No other color will work, and it has to be dark brown with a black pattern on it to look right, I thought I'd find it this last fall since brown is a fall color. But no luck.

I get compulsive about quilting in spurts, but usually always have something for my hands to fiddle with.

[The Mayor]

Your welcome Aeronaut, and Thanks.

[The Mayor]

I am going to print that up and carry it with me..

That is some great info.. Thankyou for posting it.

[The Mayor]

(imagine that LOL)

Your funny!

[The Mayor]

ROTFLMAO...Thanks that was just so funny!

[WVNan]

Yeah, but I can't spell worth a dime. Though=thought

[LadyX]

It's great you are receiving so many 'Thank Yous' for posting the Daily Bread.
It is short enough to get our attention - and meaningful enough to both inpact and stay with us!

You and yours are carried in the prayers of many, Rus...

[The Mayor]

I feel like john, all the last posts are from me....

[WVNan]

I should do something more useful with my hands, but I've always been a reader. That means I'm either reading a book or reading Free Republic. I love to study things I didn't know before. College was really fun to me.

[The Mayor]

and I am comforted for that!

[LadyX]

"I feel like john, all the last posts are from me...."

Patience is a virtue, Rus - LOL
We wimmin usually are multitasking while Freeping, you know,
and we get back to you eventually, if not sooner..:))!

[WVNan]

Jack's son was the very last person on the hour long program. Isn't that just the way it goes? He looks good. He adopted a horse that had been seized by the SPCA. Looks like he has a big ranch there. We've never been down to see him. Too far to go.
