A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....05-24-04....Military Monday
Billie, The Mayor

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.   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 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 could no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I had been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.
Still that didn'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 we've created a place for just that. This is a friendly room in JimRob's house where FReeper FRiends can gather every day and just say hello if that's all they want to do.
There's more of course. We sometimes feature different FReepers, with a little background information on who they are and what makes them who they are, along with a few photos you might not have seen on other threads; sometimes others write an essay for us to post as the feature for the day; sometimes our presentation is a human interest story found elsewhere that you might not have read; sometimes special holiday threads; but whatever the topic of the day, it is always with FR's Finest in mind and that is YOU!
If you would like to be featured, or would like to see someone else featured, please send me a private FR mail.
Every Monday we will post the photos of FR's Military Personnel that I have collected and put into groups; these will be available to view through a link the remainder of the week - every day just a click away. :)   If you would like to add a photo of yourself or a loved one in the military, past or present, please let me know; I will hold it until I have enough for a new group.
Thank you, and please have fun with us...every day! ~ Billie

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

Awesome, Louie ... I haven't heard the term 'masher' for a long time... )

I looked it up in the dictionary to learn what it does mean exactly:
: a man who makes passes at women
: one that mashes - a potato masher

Hmmmmm...the first one sounds like wolfie. LOL

Hi, Mr.Fox.

Would you believe I have been through Ashland?!
We went through there when we moved from Winston-Salem, NC to Tiffin, Ohio, back in December of 1976.

I even remember having lunch at Wendy's, and having a nice thick vanilla milkshake one ate with a spoon with my hamburger...

Hey, Mr. Wolf ... I avoid both definitions whenever possible ... otherwise, it can be a whole lotta trouble.

"Then you musta missed the thread I wrote as 'Maggie Malone' last summer,"

Yes, I missed that thread!
I must have been in the boondocks.

I just read it. That is a beautiful thread!

Hi Wolfie. Didn't mean to ignore you. I find it increasingly difficult to keep up with these threads sometimes. You know I love you of course. I shouldn't have to tell you every day. Wouldn't want to spoil you. (((((Wolfie))))

If you went through Ashland you also went through Huntington, WV, which is only an hour or 45 min. from us.

Wasn't it though? We had such a marvelous time, and almost as much fun sharing it with our FRamily.

I know dear, but it means more when you have to wait a while.

It was the most glorious of events imaginable, TC, revealing Nan was exactly as I thought, and vice versa, and Jack (a Marine, you know, from the Korean Conflict) a great person, too.

Turned out to be a 'God Provision' on that particular Friday and Saturday.
The following Monday morning I went to the VA for a regular appointment, and Dr. Fall gave me the "Lie of The Land Speech."

Fortified by meeting Nan, it was confirmation that He had specifically prepared me for what lay ahead!

I am indeed blessed - -

Now you got me weeping again Sistah. Every time I think of the plans that God had for us I go all mushy. Now, I must get me to bed or I won't be able to awaken at 6:00 a.m. uggh.
