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. : )

It's beautiful Sistah, but does one ever really get used to that much cold...brrrrrrr. Makes me bones ache just thinking about it. Living room is painted HOORAY! Best birthday present yet. I'm tired but happy.

[WVNan]

Thank you for the good wishes girl in Austin. I love Austin. Hubby used to play music there at the Armadilla. an a club I can't recall the name of. Was it the Back Door? We played so many clubs back then I can't keep them straight in my mind. I do recall a little place out on Lake Travis.

Happy Birthday Logan

[deadhead]

Aye, but ye did, lad.
'Tis a fine day o'the Lord.. and a great happy return to Nan!

And keep yer coffee if ye will.. I'm tryin' for a weekend.

[LadyX]

"'Tis a fine day o'the Lord.."

And 'tis also a fine day when gunner strolls into the Finest Family Room and brightens it..:))

Challenged any al-Claydas of late, me lad??

[Darksheare]

You're tryin to get tha coffee to keep ye up all weekend?
Be careful wit' that.
'Tis an ominous beasty.

And I may have spoken a bit about it in some circles, aye.

[deadhead]

Hi Temple Owl. Will you and Mrs. Temple Owl be going to the Freeper Ball?

[LadyX]

I'm so glad you were able to complete it today, Nan.
It's a great feeling to know it's ready for the Open House,
and won't have to be painted again for years!

You should be getting snail mail today or tomorrow ---

[humblegunner]

Challenged any al-Claydas of late, me lad??

Nay, I havna.
I reckon they're all dead, mores the shame on 'em.

Cowards, the lot.

[Darksheare]

We should force 'em to drink my coffee upon capture.
That'll fix 'em.

[LadyX]

"Nay, I havna.
I reckon they're all dead, mores the shame on 'em.
Cowards, the lot. "

Aye -- that they are, but I suspect there are a few al-Clayda left to spring up any day now...tenacious lot...

Never fear -- the Houston Shooting Club will mow 'em down!!

[WVNan]

The walls and ceiling look great, and we got most of the furniture and the curtains back up. Still have to get all the accessories put back. Pictures etc. It's CLEAN.

[WVNan]

Hey hey gunner! Long time since I heard from ye.

[WVNan]

I'll be looking for the mail Sistah Maggie. Probably tomorrow it will be here, or Monday at the latest. Anxious. Tomorrow Jack and I have to go to the District Christmas dinner in Huntington. I hate those things but we are expected to attend. We promised our District Superintendent that we would be there.

[Darksheare]

*chuckle*

If deer rampage after drinking my coffee, what do the AlClayduh do upon coffee spillage?

[WVNan]

Oh my. Highland talk goes directly to me Scottish heart. It's like the pipes it is, always makes the blood stir a bit.
