A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....11-12,13,14-04...T.G.I.F. at the Finest
Billie

Posted on 11/12/2004 7:41:13 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!

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. : )

Morning, Pip! Haven't seen you in a few days! (I did see where you checked in last night on the Veterans thread though) Glad to see you. I am also loving the misery the dims are experiencing now - Heaven knows WE went through 8 long years of it!

Maybe..
*LOL*
They may feel the need for negative reinforcement to boost their negative morale?

I know.
Gran from the Dimensional Doors had some weirdo nightmare where my head was floating about and following her around.
(Did I mention she was sick with something and on really neato meds?)

So I have it on good authority that such an image is kinda frightening.
;-)

The mental image I have of gloating, is of sitting in a hot tub with the jets on, and relaxing with a cheshire cat grin...

S'pose they would install a hot tub in my cube?
Because that would make work sweeeet.

If they allowed it, no-one else would get any work done, and everyone would be in your cubicle.

But there would be 100% office attendance.
That's the argument I'll run with for the boss...

Cool pics EMB. That last one reminds me of the time we did a diving job on the USS ENTERPRISE (CVAN-65) back a hunnert years ago.

We were in Subic Bay, the Big E was tied up to the carrier pier and we had to put a "dam" around one of the rudder posts so the Machinist's Mates could install new packing material on the rudder post where it passes through the hull. The 'dam' prevented water from flowing in when they removed the packing gland.

Our diving barge was tied up to the stern and looking up, that ship was HUGE (or is that HUGH?).

Now, all ships have the name of the ship painted on the stern just below the main deck level. However, the Big E, along with ENTERPRISE spelled out, down at our level just above the waterline, one of the divers chipped his name into the haze gray paint - "Huey".
