A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....11-09-04....What they're wearing to the Inaugural Ball
Billie

Posted on 11/09/2004 5:59:33 AM PST by Billie



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!

T he election's over, but the euphoria remains for nearly 60 million of us! And now we have another Inaugural Ball to look forward to in January. Of course, that means we get to play dress-up again, so I thought it would be fun to see what a few of FR's well-dressed ladies would be wearing to the ball.

And who better to present them than two of the Finest' most eligible bachelors - the very suave and debonair Louie Wolf and the equally charming and debonair Johnny Fox (aka ST.LOUIE1 and jwfiv, respectively)

I know you're thinking, "Just show us the pictures already," so let's get started. Feel free to whistle anytime. I'll let the pictures do all the talking. Suffice it to say, th' fox and th' wolfie are in very good company.   :)

L ast, but most certainly not least, one final show-stopping
gown on a very popular Freeperette - the one who oversees
many of our live threads of very important news events.

Oh, you are a petite one! My sister-in-law is about your height. She has a step stool in her kitchen, too! (I don't! But things I rarely use that are at the *back* of the top shelves, I can't reach without something to stand on)

I looked taller before I gained weight.

This is a fun thread. Wish I had gotten here earlier; been busy with Amy's and the child. She is excited about going to DC on the AIRPLANE!!!

All women are beautiful, some inside, some outside, but our lovely ladies of FR are both.

And *that*, sweet wolfie, is what makes *you* so special to us. :)

I know. : )

Seriously, FR women are *special*. Who else would put up with a mouthy, vain, three legged wolf? LOL!

Well, wolfie had more fur to brush. LOL

Oh. Now waidaminnet! They make luxuriant fur coats out of fox fur - I've never seen a wolf fur coat. :)

Hmmmmm.......wolfie doesn't have to worry about his hide draping a woman's shoulders.
They want him in the altogether. : )

(except for the cowboys and Indians movies when the Indians wore the wolf hides, heads and all! Eeeuuuuuwwww!)

Humph! Indians honor wolves. (Too bad they couldn't do it without skinning first. LOL)

Not that I'd want either of you to be a fur coat. :(

I'm happy to hear it. : )

Have been occupied most of the day with a joyous visit from my daughter who lives far upstate, and 3 of her 4 children! Her oldest daughter (22 on the 24th) visited us Sunday from college in Columbia.
Just now returning to where I had been reading in the thread, and started with your reply, Dolly:

"why, of why, weren't you "put out for this? told to not move in a painful situation or your kidney would be sliced, seems a bit,... barbaric?"

LOL - think about it! -- if I were "out of it," I most certainly would be breathing in and out against the blade! and ensure I exited the hospital via the morgue, which happened to be across from my office..:))

Many here know I worked in and around medicine for 19 years (after military/retail management years), so was perfectly at ease in all such things, including to myself.
I interacted with the whole hospital in my position as a Department Secretary, and had coffee privileges in the Physician Lounge, so the large hospital (Greensboro, NC major one) was more "home" for 15 years than my house was.

Many here also know some of my hospital and other years' stories, and how God was at work therein in a wonderful way.

By the way, if the Morgue Attendant was out and a funeral home or the Coroner came to get a deceased, I'd log out and release the body and any belongings, so was very much at ease knowing, as Paul described it, that our body is only a *shell* we shed, and the spirit it covered goes to Our Father --- therefore, I was comfortable with that.

There are two very interesting stories the Holy Spirit showed me through this task I'll send you in side mail in a day or two when I'm able, Dolly.

By the way, the biopsy area was deadened and I felt no pain -- besides, the Holy Spirit had in an accident 3 weeks before in a MOST dramatic way removed from me The Spirit of Fear -- oh, the loving preparations and lessons He provides before we need them!!

I suspect you have more than a few stories along these lines from what I've seen of you, and your loving care of your mother ---
