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,

: )

Hopefully the Vets won't back off their statements about Lurch. It's been known to happen. : (

[ST.LOUIE1]

Happy FRiday, little (((((((Hobbit))))))

: )

Morning, Russ.

And I like my dentist. I haven't had to have much dental work, but what I have had has been pretty much painless.

[GailA]

Good morning. Well my friend culled 25% of the vote in a 5 man race, he didn't win, but we still got a good conservative for the slot.

I'm off to the dentist this afternoon to get a filling replaced, lost part of it last week.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Good morning, Diver! I miss ya. : )

How's your back/neck coming along?

[Billie]

'Morning, wolfie! Love that bluebird! I've been busy this morning uploading a whole bunch of smileys I found in my mailbox yesterday. :)

[Temple Owl]

Have a fine weekend everybody and back the Swiftees. They are going to be bombed by the anti-American tort heroes.

[Aquamarine]

Last call for the train to nowhere! :)

[Aquamarine]

Meant to ping you to the post above.

[Billie]

Last call for the train to nowhere! :)

LOL! I sure hope so!

[Billie]

Have a fine weekend everybody and back the Swiftees. They are going to be bombed by the anti-American tort heroes.

Thanks, Temple, and hope yours is a Fine weekend, too. Go, Swiftees! Don't let the DNC thugs deter you from getting the truth out!!!!

[Kitty Mittens]

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND, EVERYONE!

Now THAT's a photo-op. A gorgeous hunk of man holding up a pretty little baby.

[Kitty Mittens]

I just love any picture of our Dubya with babies! His sweetness always shines forth for all to see. (And he is easy on the eyes, too!) ;^D

[Conspiracy Guy]

Put that pic beside Kerry holding 2 ears of corn as if he has never seen corn.

Email I received

You are Priceless

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill.

In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up.

He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this.

He proceeded to crumple the $20 dollar bill up.

He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.

Well, he replied, "What if I do this?"

And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.

He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?"

Still the hands went into the air.

My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson.

No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless.

But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still
priceless to HIM WHO STILL LOVES YOU.

The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE.

You are special - Don't EVER forget it."

Count your blessings, not your problems.

And remember: amateurs built the ark ... professionals built the Titanic.

If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it.

[Kitty Mittens]

That's a good mental image; quite a contrast!

Soon, our President will punt Kerry aside with his Cowboy Boot, and we'll be rid if him!

[Kitty Mittens]

That was nice, Dubya! :)

[Dubya]

Thank you.
