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!

Here Goes Nothing !
Arggghhh! I took his suggestion.. I threw it up and *ugly* happened.
Arggghhh! I know.. it stinks but it was *his* idea.
Arggghhh! I can't believe *anyone* will stay around today.
Arggghhh! I bet nobody's first date was *this* ugly.
Arggghhh! It's all St.Louie's fault if you *hate* today's thread!
Arggghhh! He *made* me do it.. I didn't wanna do it....
I Blame it ALL on ST.LOUIE!

Sometimes it gets hard to think of ideas for new threads, so we ask for suggestions from our Finest Family... like what - or maybe even who - you would like to see featured in the future. Sometimes we hit the jackpot.
Last week I asked our dear FRiend, ST.LOUIE1, aka "wolfie", if there was anything in particular he would like to see presented at the Finest (Actually, I asked him if he would like to WRITE something for us, and I would even do the backgrounds, etc. and post it for him.) He very politely turned me down on writing it, but still offered this:
"BACKGROUNDS?!" he said, "You don't need elaborate backgrounds or fancy graphics - just throw out a question, like: 'What was your worst date?' and let everyone take it from there. It'll be fun, and you won't have to work so hard either."
"But Fancy Graphics and Elaborate Backgrounds R Us," I pouted. "It's what we've made as our trademark at the Finest. It's what others have come to 'expect' of us. They would be so disappointed. How could I just throw out a question..... with no background, no graphics, no pretty heading? No central theme, no color scheme, no coordinated pledge graphic, no welcome ping....."
"And besides, what kind of a question is that for the Finest? Most everyone here's been married so long, no one even *remembers* dating!"
Undeterred, wolfie (who, himself is a handsome and dashing and debonair bachelor and has probably never even had a *worst* date in his life) insisted this thread would indeed be a winner, so I begged and pleaded with him until finally he agreed I could at least have a background.
"So throw a background around it and HUSH up!"
So here goes.....my reputation as a Finest Hostess aka Layout Artist aka Graphics Guru is at stake, but he made me do it. So if you hate today's thread, today's topic, BLAME IT ON ST. LOUIE!
On the other hand, if you just love today's thread, well,WE done good, didn't we? :) (That last part was just for you, T Man!)
Oh, yeah - the question!
Finest FReepers, "What was your worst date?"

Thanks, Mixer!
1) Click on the graphic to open the Calendar. 2) Once there you can click on any month and even click to the right to go into next year. Once you are in the month that you joined FR you will need to click on the number in the calendar and then an add item screen will come up. 3) In the next box enter your name in the "Calendar Text" field and then click on submit. 4) If any of the screens fail to load simply click on refresh in your browser and that will usually fix it. 5) If all else fails or simply if you want me to do this for you send me a FReepmail and I will gladly do it for you. ~Mixer

....leg was falling asleep. When dinner came to an end and it was time to leave I 'oh so gracefully' slid out of the booth and took one step ..........
and fell like a rock onto the floor! SNORF!!
And I guess, in spite of everything, I must have impressed him. JK's been picking up this klutzie bear every time she's stumbled for the past 37 years. ;-)
You're both special, fuzzy. : )

"I'd have to get over my FR addiction" The trick is to marry a FReeper.
"A date with Louie. : )"
I think even the losers win a date with Louie.

When you return we expect to hear of 'your' worst date. It has to be the guy's fault. : ) Yes, it *was* as a matter of fact - you see, my real name is Terri, and I was 13 years old - and it was a swimming party.
LOL!!!!
Smart aleck. And you dyed your hair black. : (

Worst date ever...
Way back when this guy (Bill) talked me into going to a party with him. He behaved so badly at the party that I refused to let him take me home that night. A couple of friends that I met at the party took me home instead....and one of them sent me a dozen red carnations the next day.

Hi, Aqua - how did your housewarming party at the dorm go?
Your date sounds like a real jerk!

"Waiting for my knight in shining armor." Have you met Louie? ;-)
At your service, Ms.cyborg. Let's get to know each other a bit better. : )
To: ST.LOUIE1
Depends if you go out with Louie (very sweet guy ) - or wolfie. ( hang on to your hats, girls) Now *I'm* confused! You were answering Diver's post about the 'winner' getting a date with Louie and he didn't want it if so, and you said actually the winner got a date with Billie and Mama_Bear - are you declaring yourself the *winner*?! (I mean, not that you *aren't* a winner) LOL
