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!

Welcome to TGIF at the Finest!   We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. From the beginning, we've been kicking back on Saturdays and Sundays and simply reviewing the features of the week; our weekend threads now start on Friday and continue through Sunday. If you missed seeing any of this week's threads and want to say hello there now, just click on the link for that particular day. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today through Sunday, please feel free to do that also. One of us will try to be around to see the welcome mat is still out, put the coffee pot on, and maybe even bring fresh flowers for the table. : )

Have a wonderful weekend!

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' The guy's good, folks!

Thanks, Mixer!

1) Click on the graphic to open the Calendar.
2) Once there you can click on any month and even click to the right to go into next year. Once you are in the month that you joined FR you will need to click on the number in the calendar and then an add item screen will come up.
3) In the next box enter your name in the "Calendar Text" field and then click on submit.
4) If any of the screens fail to load simply click on refresh in your browser and that will usually fix it.
5) If all else fails or simply if you want me to do this for you send me a FReepmail and I will gladly do it for you. ~Mixer

Whew! I'm glad I found my way back here - seems like it's been years!

John's essay yesterday again was one of his best, and dutchess and I wanted to leave it up a little longer today to make up for all the time it took to find it. Thank you to all who were kind enough to send regular emails to FReepers with the alternate address.

Oh, Billie. The baby and the flag picture is priceless. I'm so glad it's Friday and I'm off Monday. I'm so looking forward to this long weekend. I'll come back later to see the pretty graphics that I know will be here.

Hi Billie.

Whew, TGIF is right...yesterday it was that felt like Friday (the 13th)...

I felt like a lost puppy.

There's no place like home.

[Billie]

Phooey! Oh, T Man, you will be very happy to see that I posted the url # for John's Two Cents yesterday wrong. :) (and that I also left out Saturday's and Sunday's dates above)

The link for John's Two Cents yesterday should be:

BUSH KNEW! Part II...or is it Part III

[Billie]

Good morning, Texas Girl! Thank you!

[Temple Owl]

It's so good to have you all back. Have a happy weekend.

[LadyX]

Know what you mean, jw - - I feel like a certain Rabbit,

checking my watch and saying, ""Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!" !"

In truth, I was..:(

Missed Wednesday, out of town most of the day, and Thursday, of all days!
Puts me off kilter, unable to write my 'Dear John' Letter, deprived of access to Free Republic...

It was late last night when I found word about the alternate site - too late to read the essay and respond.

Rest assured I still love ya, JH - (you, too, Johnny Mac..:))

[Diver Dave]

Whew! I'm glad I found my way back here - seems like it's been years!

Lost but now found. Hmmmm. A personal friend of mine spoke about that in a parable or two many years ago.

Mornin' Billie. Friday = house cleaning.

[Billie]

There's no place like home.

There sure isn't! :) Hi, Johnny Mac!

[Billie]

Hello, Mr. Owl - we just got lost in the woods for a while yesterday. :)

[Billie]

Good morning, Miss Maggie. Yesterday was a good day to be away from your 'puter. :) Do check out Aqua's Spring post for Wednesday if you get a chance - and I'm sure you could still write your Dear John letter for yesterday. :)

[The Thin Man]

Phooey! Oh, T Man, you will be very happy to see that I posted the url # for John's Two Cents yesterday wrong. :) (and that I also left out Saturday's and Sunday's dates above)

Why would I be happy? Now we're forced to look at your blunder three straight days.

On the positive side, you were so late in posting today's thread that one of the days is almost finished.

:-)

[Billie]

Mr. Clean - come see me when you're finished in California. :)

[Billie]

On the positive side, you were so late in posting today's thread that one of the days is almost finished.

And I did that just for you, too. :)

[MeekOneGOP]

Mornin', everybody ! Happy Friday ! TGIF ! ....

Anytime that you ever have trouble getting on FR, go there. If other folks are having trouble, you'll see posts by Freepers there.

LOOK for posts from John Robinson (or perhaps Jim Robinson). He is real good to post there so folks know what the problems are and how long before the problem is resolved, etc.

Yesterday, John Robinson posted THIS message for us.

We're waiting on GKG to press some buttons and turn us back on. But I wouldn't be surprised if this took hours on their part. :-(

Don't work too hard on your spring cleaning today!

[Billie]

Thanks, Meekie - you're always so helpful to everybody. You were one of the first to email others yesterday with the link to get back to FR. It's very nice how FReepers take care of other FReepers.
