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. : )

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

Girl, don't you ever sleep? LOL. I'm glad you're doing well on the Atkins. Your cereal recipe sounds great and I will try it. I think the fun of Atkins is inventing new recipes. I hate to cook, but I love to invent.

[WVNan]

I spot em Sistah. And a pleasant week-end to you my sweet Sistah of the Spirit. I'm off in a flash to a reception and dedication of the new River Museum. Did you see the pictures from our Party for the President? You can see how much weight I've lost. We had a great time.

LOL, the eternal fall guy, that's me. (((((((LOUIE)))))))

[The Mayor]

Good Morning Louie

I do my best to enjoy both..

[Diver Dave]

Mornin' to the Finest.
Happy May Day, y'all.
We're off to spend some quality time with the grandkids.

[LadyX]

Ah, but you have outdone your sweet self, dear Wolfie!

Nan and I did have a great time growing up - still working on doing that, of course..:))

[LadyX]

Many thanks for our Daily Bread of Life, Rus - -

Friend of mine showed me a great addition to the orange Sugar Free Jello.
As it thickens, stir in a small can of drained mandarin oranges!

Add Lite Cook Whip to top it off (or layer it), and it is gives it a whole new and satisfying dimension with minimal calories...

[DollyCali]

Because of the two President's parties on Thursday, I wasn't able to take some time at the Thursday thread until just now.. GREAT work both of you.. Aqua.. I know how much work what you do must be.. much more complicated than my first thread which took HOURS...

Thank you JohnHuang2 & Aquamarine !!!

(Dutchess said it was a "must read" )

[Pippin]

(((LOUIE)))!

And I'm gonna have a GREAT TIME in DC! :O)

[Pippin]

oooh!

You know how to get my mouth watering for something good, sweet and not harmful to eat! :O)

Gotta try it!

[Temple Owl]

Wishing a wonderful weekend for all FReepers every where.

Afternoon,Louie....

I'll have you know I was a good little Atkins girl and ate nary a one! I yielded all donuts to wolfie.Honest.

And today hubby & I went to town to buy a dishwasher and I ate the low carb burger at Burger King.....with fries(sigh..and I had been doing so well). Oh well,climbing back on the wagon again. I was tripped,you see...I don't fall...I'm sure it was someone else's fault...

[Lakeside]

Thanks Lady! Sounds good to me. And it sounds easy which is another plus. However, with Atkins you can use REAL whipped cream. YUM. Keep those suggestions coming!

[Aquamarine]

Thanks Dolly. Thursdays post seemed better than usual since we hadn't had a dose of JohnHuang2 in a couple of weeks.

You really did a fantastic job on your first Post. I see many more of those in your future. :)

[Aquamarine]

Happy May Day!

[Mama_Bear]

Happy May Day everyone!

[dutchess]

Hi left coast sistah! Loved the "collage" of your support the troop rally pictures! Was there a good response from the passerbyers????

[Mama_Bear]

Was there a good response from the passerbyers????

There sure was! Lot's of enthusiasm....honks and thumbs-up. Did my heart good to see the response from the Fresnans driving by. :-)
