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. : )

Where's Spooky?
Lurking or vacation, does anyone know?

[Kitty Mittens]

All of you in the path of the storm are in my thoughts and prayers!

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND, FINEST FRIENDS!

I must make a confession. The hurricane got me out of incessant nagging from my mom about watering all her plants. However, to make up for my rejoicing about the hurricane leftovers, I will go home, and get into my bed with a bottle of adult beverages and 40 oz. cup and keep all Florida freepers in mindd. However long that may last.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Back at ya

[Laura Earl]

I love that man!

[Pippin]

I don't know were Spooky is right now, but I do know she lives in Florida.

I pray for her safety.

[Pippin]

((((KITTY))))!

[Pippin]

HOWDY ((((LE))))! and ((((CG))))!

[Darksheare]

Good evening.
May they stay safe down that direction.

[Darksheare]

Understood.
Stay safe down there Spooky, we'll wait till you can get back here.

[The Mayor]

Prayers for your safety!

Just had a call from my son, Steve, a Physician Assistant teaching PA's at Nova Southeastern University, in Ft. Lauderdale.
As many of you know, he is a volunteer with DMAT - Disaster Medical Assistance Team - of South Florida, and they are headed over to Punta Gorda right now to assist.

You might have heard there was a hospital that had its roof blown off, with casualties; and in another area, a shelter that collapsed on 1,000 persons who had taken refuge in it.
He will be super busy until they are no longer needed.

Looks as if it will not affect this side of South Carolina.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Offering Prayers for Steve and everyone else in the path of the storm.

[Conspiracy Guy]

(((hello))) from me and LE

[The Mayor]

My brother Kevin is just outside of Disney World, he said he can see the fireworks at night.

Last I looked (1/2 hour ago) this storm was right on top of him.

[LadyX]

Thanks, Tonk.
He'll be fine, and will be in his glory, able to help others.

((Kinda like you..:))

Hugs,

My husband has several siblings and their families in the Orlando-Winter Spring-Deltona area.

My son, Kevin, is in West Palm Beach, and shouldn't have too much of it to hit there.

[deadhead]

Prayers for all. Been checking the weather channel all day. Thought about your son before, didn't remember his exact location...Bless him for the good work he does. My Step-Dad Fred is in Merritt Island, been calling all day, no answer. I am guessing he went to his son's home. Worry, worry....I am suppose to go to SC tomorrow, driving. Will just wait and see what Charley decides to do.

[Laura Earl]

HOWDY!!!! Happy Weekend!!!!
