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!

Hello, Dolly,......well, hello, Dolly
It's so nice to have you back where you belong
You're lookin' swell, Dolly.......I can tell, Dolly
You're still glowin'...you're still crowin'...
you're still goin' strong......
From the Broadway Musical "Hello, Dolly"
by Jerry Herman

We have a new sistah!

Please give a warm welcome to Miss DollyCali, who, along with Dutchess, hails from the good state of Ohio (you know - the state that gave Dubya a second term - this year's "Florida"!)

Dolly has agreed (with just a *wee bit* of arm-twisting) to join MamaBear, Dutchess, Aquamarine, The Mayor and me in making sure this place is one of the funnest, friendliest, and finest places on the net! Thank you, Dolly. We look forward to working and playing with you.

So without further ado, let's hear it one more time.......(Louie Armstrong recorded this song with the All Stars in December 1963 before leaving for a tour in Europe. While in England, he found out, the song had hit number one on the charts, replacing the 'Beatles' "She Loves You". He also recorded the song in Paris in 1965)

Mornin' Billie and Welcome aboard Dolly.

[DollyCali]

WOW

In Pretty Victorian Pink..Billie does it again !!!

Billie, thank you so much for the lovely introduction. I am sorry for getting here late.. After a very heavy (physical) day I passed on outing with friends to cheer on NC (I lived there for 15 years) and the ACC at the championship game. I slept from 9 - 8:30! Think I am still fighting a bit the creepy crud that has added "so much " to my life these past couple months.

I have big shoes to feel with the need of Dansangle to take some time off... she was skillful & clever in her presentations (and had about 1560 times more HTML skill than me!) I have already met personally two of the other sistahs (Dutchess & Mama_bear) and hope that perhaps we can all meet eventually (did I mention Bali the other day?)

[DollyCali]

I have big shoes to FILLas well asFEEL.... awwk!

Not to worry Angel.. I don't have any "thing" for your shoes!

[DollyCali]

congratulations on the 6 year anniversary !

Six years is an eternity if doing dishes... a drop in bucket if FReeping..

[Mama_Bear]

All the sistahs are doing a happy dance this beautiful morning!

[dixie sass]

[DollyCali]

[DollyCali]

The graphics are back. Some of you may have checked the thread in the wee hours this morning, and there were no pictures, no pretty tables - just lots of white space and purple text. The Thin Man let me know, or I would never have known the server was down. Thank you, T Man. Hope you come back and see it does look better with graphics. :)

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dutchess; Aquamarine; The Mayor; DollyCali, and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.
