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. : )

Good morning FInest, we will be camping this weekend.

A few carbs to start the day

[Texagirl4W]

Thanks St.Louie1. Love your home page. I'll have to go back when I have more time. Looks like lots of fun.

MORNING GENTS

Anyone hear any news on Mr. Thomas fate? My suggestion is that the terrorists that they want "released" should be lined up. If Mr Thomas is hurt, they are hurt. If he is killed they are killed. would end this sort of thing in a smart fashion .

Prolly isn't politically correct but I believe it would work

Prayers for him & his family.

[DollyCali]

Hi Holly.. someone has been asking aboutr you ... re trip to meet you first of august... If all else can arrange, I will try to join you. Dolly

[WVNan]

Drive-by hug LOL. Well, I guess that beats no hug at all. Thanx John.

[WVNan]

Hi Dolly, I'm invoking my shameless "Grammy" privilege and re-posting my Emma's first picture again. Remember, she is six weeks early and weighs a bit over 5 lbs. They have her wrapped in several layers of blankets to maintain her body heat. She looks like a little papoose or a football, but oh so cute.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Morning, Mr.Fox!

Be careful.....that hound might hunt. : )

[Diver Dave]

Gooooood Mooooooornin' FR's Finest.

Glad the weekend is here. Need to rest up after playing 36 holes of golf with Christian. I thought I'd never get that ball through the windmill. :)

[DollyCali]

oh Nan, what a little dumpling! Congrats & I hope this little one does well. My son was 7 weeks early...

I read you started a new pastorate... nearby? same denomination? Is Kathy still with you? (did she transfer)

I have been gone & am very behind on all "news"... and the house !!! well, it , shall we say, needs work!

Hoping to put something together in August for Freeper get together. will keep you posted

[WVNan]

ROTFLOL! That's my kind of golf.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Love your home page. I'll have to go back when I have more time.
Looks like lots of fun.

Why, thank you very much, Tex. : )

When are you going to create a home page.....hmmmmmm?

[ST.LOUIE1]

Prolly isn't politically correct but I believe it would work

WOW! Soounds like a winner to me.

I'd hate to meet up with you in a dark alley. LOL

Then again..... Oooops, sorry, that was wolfie horning in. : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

... thought I'd never get that ball through the windmill. :)

LOL! Hi, Diver.

[WVNan]

I'm anxious to get over to the hospital and see her again. She is so delicate and pretty. Of course we knew she would be.

Yes, I start my new church this Sunday. Same United Meth. You know how they love to play chess games with their pastors. We get to move a lot. Being retired has advantages though. I get to stay in the same locale. They call it part-time, but that is simply part-time pay. Kathey actually belongs to one of Jack's congregations. I used to pastor those churches. Jack complains about having to take my left-overs LOL. I was Kathey's children's pastor as they were growing, but back then Kathey and her husband were not going to church. They would send the kids because they lived almost next door to the church. They came to church for the first time the day Jack took over, and they have become his best workers. We have adopted them. They made the statement that they have "his family" and they have "her" family and they have "our" family. They addressed my Mother's Day card, "Rev.Mom". So, Kathey is with me for life. She has already promised to take care of me in my old age. What better friend can one have? She means the world to me. You know how "steady" she is, and how "flightly" I am. She keeps me grounded.

Hi,

Kathey certainly is a blessing. Hey, do you think we'll be getting some sunshine any time soon?

[ST.LOUIE1]

Thank goodness you're unharmed! I thought you may have fallen into a hobbit hole or something even more dire! LOL

((((Pipster))))

[ST.LOUIE1]

Hi, Nan! Have a terrific day! : )
