A Few of FR's Finest
....Every Day

FR is a Treasure Trove of talented, compassionate, patriotic, wonderful people who gather every day to discuss the latest news and issues; salute and support our military and our leaders;  tell a few jokes;  learn a new word;  write poetry;  pray for those in need;  and congratulate those who are deserving. Thank you, Jim Robinson, for giving us the vehicle in which we can express ourselves.

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 November 11, 2001

So many people have written me since my original Veteran's Day Tribute, asking how they, or a loved one, could be included in that tribute. Since I could no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I had been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.

Still that didn't seem to be enough. I think there's never been a better nor more appropriate time to keep the faces of our own Veterans and Active Military in front of FReepers--every day! That's why I wanted to do yet another Daily Thread .....ABOUT FReepers .....and FOR FReepers. But not only about our Military FReepers; for all FReepers! Wouldn't it be nice to get to know a few of the other FReepers as well? That's why we've created a place for just that. This is a friendly room in JimRob's house where FReeper FRiends can gather every day and just say hello if that's all they want to do.

There's more of course. We sometimes feature different FReepers, with a little background information on who they are and what makes them who they are, along with a few photos you might not have seen on other threads; sometimes others write an essay for us to post as the feature for the day; sometimes our presentation is a human interest story found elsewhere that you might not have read; sometimes special holiday threads; but whatever the topic of the day, it is always with FR's Finest in mind and that is YOU!

If you would like to be featured, or would like to see someone else featured, please send me a private FR mail.

Every Monday we will post the photos of FR's Military Personnel that I have collected and put into groups; these will be available to view through a link the remainder of the week - every day just a click away. :)   If you would like to add a photo of yourself or a loved one in the military, past or present, please let me know; I will hold it until I have enough for a new group.

Thank you, and please have fun with us...every day! ~ Billie

THE WEEKEND THREAD 06-24 thru 26-05... T.G.I.F. at the Finest

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest The guy's good, folks!

[The Mayor]

Dogs are a great asset to us in so many ways..

Thanks M'Lady..

[The Mayor]

Hi Colleen, thanks for that pic..!

[luvie]

Wow! You sounded like us today. Our high was 96 but our humidity was "only" (and ours is usually less) 29%! That 70% dew point must have made it feel like you were swimming above the water today! I'm sure it makes it hard to work, especially outdoor work! *whew* Makes you wonder what it is going to be like in August! Yikes!

[The Mayor]

What a stupid ruling today..

It's an upside down world Aqua..

[The Mayor]

Hi Billie, yes I have a secret place where I hijack pledge's..

Yes, Military Monday on Tuesday is fine.. I will be in the parade Monday too..

[The Mayor]

You are Blessd DD..

[The Mayor]

Thank you Dutchess, excellent pic.!

[The Mayor]

It is truely amazing what they can do with forensic science today..








yet OJ got off..

[The Mayor]

what are you girls up too??

keepin secrets from me, that's ok, I'll figure it out.

[The Mayor]

I am sure it does, some times they almost look embarassed..

They don't expect it..

[The Mayor]

It was opressive, tomorrow I have to start a roof..

It is supposed to be 88 and humid.. Must drink water, plenty of it.

The heat in Arizona was better, it's dry 5 to 6% humidity.

[Aquamarine]

It's an upside down world Aqua..

Inside out and backwards.
Think what they were trying to convey is that Christianity in the USA is history. They're wrong.

[luvie]

Those girls are making me very nervous with all their "post a thread" talk is all!

I agree with you about the soldiers seeming embarrassed. That has happened when I say "thank you" too, and then when they realize I mean what I am saying they get these big ole grins on their faces! I love them!

[The Mayor]

when they realize I mean what I am saying they get these big ole grins on their faces! I love them!

Yes absolutely.. They don't expect it..

[luvie]

Oh, you be really careful up on the roof in that heat! Listen to your body--and please drink tons of water! (What am I saying--you have been doing this for years! LOL!) Yeah it was low humidity in AZ, but the temperature might have been 10-15 degrees hotter, too, which isn't much help!

I know with all the outside work you have to do, you are definitely ready for some cool weather to push in.

[The Mayor]

I get sick and tired of the same old arguement, "you are violating the seperation of statae clause in the Constitution".......

That one line is the basis of their arguement..
It is not in the Constitution. It is from a letter to the Danbury Baptist Church from Jefferson..

Look at the quotes on my profile page, like this one..

On seperation of Church and State
It is impossible to build sound Constitutional doctrine
on a mistaken understanding of Constitutional history...
The establishment clause had been expressely freighted with
Jeffersons misleading metaphor for nearly forty years...
There is simply no historical foundation for the proposition
that the framers intended to build a wall of seperation
[between church and state]...
The recent court decisions are in no way based on either
the language or the intent of the framers.
William H. Rehnquist
1985 Assoc. Justice U.S. Supreme Court
Wallace vs Jafree

[The Mayor]

Oh yes, heat exhaustion, heat stroke..
Been there.. won't do it again. I know better, 28 years has taught me alot.

[DollyCali]

what are you girls up too??

do you smell the sweet fragrance of a conspiracy????

lol

[luvie]

Well, I knew that after so much outdoor work you have done, you know better, but I am sort of a worry-wart at heart!

Plus, with this recent issue coming up, we just want you to stay healthy--they need you too much up there to change the way things are being done in your state government! You CAN'T get sick, okay? LOL! It's a new rule!
