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!
~ Billie, Mama_Bear, dutchess, Aquamarine ~

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

To: HuntsvilleTxVeteran
I wonder if little Tammy ever found out that she had a "gentleman caller" at three! Look at the bright side; Big Tammy may have been the biggest mistake of your life, and you may have little Tammy to thank for having helped you to sidestep that alternate reality.

C'mon, fuzzbo, give us the scoop.
Er.....do bears date? : )
To: Billie; ST.LOUIE1
Worst Date?!?
dd's wracked his brain, searched through scrapbooks, yearbooks, hard drive, zip drives and floppys and he's afraid he can't find a single 'worst date'. But then again, we're talkin about the swave and deboner dd - who could expect a 'worst date' with that guy.
dd's a very competitive guy, and he so wanted to win yet another contest, but now he's slipped into a deep depression. He's discovered that he's 'unqualified.'
Prolly just as well since the prize was prolly a date with Louie.

I'll get to my worst date later but for now ......
Rejection Lines given by Women
(and What They Mean)
I think of you as a brother.
(You remind me of that inbred banjo-playing geek in "Deliverance.")
There's a slight difference in our ages.
(You are one Jurassic geezer.)
I'm not attracted to you in 'that' way.
(You are the ugliest jerk I've ever laid eyes upon.)
My life is too complicated right now.
(I don't want you spending the whole night or else you may hear phone calls from all the other guys I'm seeing.)
I've got a boyfriend
(who's really my male cat and a half gallon of Ben and Jerry's ice cream).
I don't date men where I work.
(Hey, bud, I wouldn't even date you if you were in the same 'solar system', much less the same building.)
It's not you, it's me.
(It's not me, it's you.)
I'm concentrating on my career.
(Even something as boring and unfulfilling as my job is better than dating you.)
I'm celibate.
(I've sworn off only the men like you.)

Oh my goodness, Louie. How embarassing. However, somehow that story just seems to fit you. Obviously she was not able to stay mad at you, though.
