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. : )

[The Mayor]

That LTC needs a lesson in the Constitution that he swore to uphold....

[Darksheare]

Yes, he did.
But he's not likely to be a problem anymore.
That was 1996, and Fort Sill has undergone some interesting shifts.
Certain officers were forced into retirement.
The old "Walk away while you can because we'll kneecap you if we have to" deal.

[The Mayor]

good

[Darksheare]

I'm just hoping he was one of the ones let go.
I haven't checked and honestly don't know how to do so.
But considering he was the moronic "you must salute me while out on field maneuvers" type, I'm sure he got the railroad tie treatment.
At least I HOPE he got the railroad tie treatment.

[dixie sass]

I agree. But we can't force them to do or say anything. We don't understand them or their religious beliefs anymore than they understand ours. Sometimes, I wonder with all of the supposed "open-mindedness" that we say that we as Americans have why we don't try and understand others more. I don't understand Hussein. I decided to see if there was a psychological study done on him and found this done in 1990. It is long but well worth the read.

My Momma passed away in Feb. of '98, I miss her dreadfully. We were roommates for 10 years after Daddy passed away. She was my best friend.

[dutchess]

I was gonna post one of those pics of Rusty but they are huge!

They are big...hopefully he's not!!!! (actually I was told he's about 40 lbs. which is a nice size)

[dixie sass]

I'm so glad that you were able to adopt him Dutchess. He is a good looked dog.

Lucky Rusty!

[The Mayor]

40 lbs is good size, he is really cute.
He should be we share names, I was called Rusty for years..
hehehe! now everytime you call him you'll think of me..

Afternoon Hostesses and all the ships at sea.

Started the day with plans to do nothin'. So far, I'm right on shhhhhedule (as the Brits say).

I'm also open to any help in my task from FR's Finest...

Oh, oh... mrsdd is on her way home from work and me thinks my plans have hit a snag.

Take care y'all and have a great weekend. If you're oot and abooot (as the Canucks say) tomorrow between 11 and 2 pm (PDT) honk your horns for the troops. We'll respond from "Our Corner" with a wave and thank you.

That's a cute graphic, Billie! And I still LOVE this one you made for me:

GOD BLESS YOU, AND EVERYONE, AT FREEPER'S FINEST!

[Kitty Mittens]

Fantastic post, Pippin! It is MIRACULOUS to me how our Lord has upheld our President through all the evil attacks that have come his way over the last three-and-ahalf years! His enemies attacks would have sunk many a strong man, but our God has sustained him through them all, and how we thank Him for strengthing our President!

I think the main reason they hate him, is because they hate his God, and long to "pull God down from Heaven" and attack HIM, but, since they can't get at Him, they attack our President because he is our God's dear child. I feel that is the explanation for all the blind, unreasoning, sheer hatred and venom that comes his way! And you are right, dear Pippin, he does heap coals of fire upon their heads; he is a good example for us all. Good post you made, Pippin! :)

[Kitty Mittens]

Excellent, right-on-target post, Mayor! That is their reason for living: to pull down our Godly Foundations, and to try to wipe Christ completely out of our Nation! (Please thwart their evil intentions, O LORD!)

[Kitty Mittens]

That was wonderful, my Lady! The Concern of our Lord in Your heart, You stepped forward, and became His Hand to minister to that suffering little one! Our Lord loves the "least" among us, and He used you to reach out and bring His Comfort to that child. Thank You, our Loving God, for Thy Tender Mercies You so graciously show to the helpless!

[Kitty Mittens]

LOL!! That's cute!! :^D

[Kitty Mittens]

Read yesterday's thread real late, and saw Rusty's cute face! God bless you on this endeavor, dear Dutchess! :)
