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. : )

Let's have some more....

[Billie]

Oh, Wow! Eye Candy! I feel safer just knowing *those* guys are out there! Thanks, Dolly!

[Billie]

Thank you, tuliptree! How sweet of you. Hope you come back again when it's *not* anyone's birthday. :)

[Billie]

I've been enjoying all of your post this week. Haven't posted much as I can't seem to get caught up.

I hear that! Matter of fact, I think "can't seem to get caught up" is going around!

It was Dutchess who's been having the water damage inside her house. Hope your furniture wasn't hurt with the damage to *your* bedroom and bath carpet.

[Billie]

For the past three morning each hostess has had a challenge. Mine was a skunked dog, Dutchess had water damage and now you have phone problems...what next?! lol Sorry you're having problems but glad I was here to post the thread for you.

Me, too! (glad) :) What next?! Well, for me, as you saw by your freepmail last night, it was Roscoe, and no electricity yesterday on top of the dead phone for 2 days!

All is well here now, and thank you for the beautiful bluebonnets, Sistah!

[Billie]

WOW! Look at YOU, Kitty! Posting graphics....centering them, too! Thank you, I love that birthday cake!

Good morning, Billie. I've enjoyed all the posts and graphics also.

I will have to have the carpet in my bedroom and bath replaced but will have to wait until later next week to start. Company coming Tuesday overnight and I don't want to be in the middle of that. But, it will work out. It's dry and I can still sleep in there.

Hope you all have a super Sunday. (( Billie)) ((Dutchess ))

[Billie]

Congratulations on two years of wonderfulness. I hope there will be many more!

Hi, Donnie! Thank you - I'm a little late getting back to you, but hope you know how much I appreciate your becoming part of our Family. Thank you also for the birthday roses and your sweet sentiment. My phone connection to my pc was dead all day Friday and still not working until late Saturday afternoon. Missed my party! :)

[Billie]

How pretty, Victoria! Thank you - you always find such beautiful things!

P.S. Thanks for the heads up in FR mail - geez!

[Billie]

Hi, Rus - thanks for the pretty birthday candles!

[Billie]

Kudsman: "Hey Amy. 19 candled cake I see.

Happy Birthday Billie. Hope you have(had?) a special one. :-)"

Thank you! It was a wonderful day at the Finest! I missed most of it, but think the party was a success anyway. LOL

Amy: "I cheated ..... I think there should have been 21 candles there."

Right! 21! LOL!

[Billie]

Hi, Dave - thank you for the very first birthday card (shortly after midnight Thursday night)!

This one - the silly dog who licked the cake is SO cute!

[Billie]

Hello there, BIS. Your birthday wish is so sweet. Thank you for coming Friday - I didn't get to enjoy the 'party' Friday OR Saturday because the phone line to my pc was dead. Looks like we had some delicious cakes though. :)

[Billie]

Good morning, Maggie - a beautiful painting, and a beautiful sentiment you posted Saturday morning. You do so much on the weekends to bring us beauty and friendship. :)

[Billie]

Amy and Bob, come look at this breathtaking rainbow! :)

[Billie]

A Sunday morning (here in the US) hello and thanks for dropping by, knighthawk. :)

[Billie]

Am I too late to offer a Happy Birthday to our Billie Bluebird?

Never too late! Thank you, J Fox!

I've been away and offline for a couple of days cuz I've been moving to a new pad. Being without FR feels like not having my car keys in my pocket ... being back feels great.

I was unable to get online for most of Friday and Saturday, too - missed my own party! LOL

Hope you enjoy your new pad - tell me you don't have all the boxes emptied and pictures hung yet! :) Speaking of great, I hope that's the kind of weekend

[JustAmy]

Beautiful ..... I can always use another rainbow graphic. :)

[Billie]

Morning, Gail! I love those hummingbirds (and *they* are blue, too!) Thank you for the wishes; I appreciate you very much. :)

[Billie]

A treat! Two days of these fabulous fotos!
