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!

You'd Never Believe...

why this is not a super-duper-wonderful-knock-your-socks-off thread...
and instead a let's-see-what-we-can-throw-together-quickly effort.
But here are some possibilies

1.Oliver had 24 kittens.
2. The FBI confiscated my computer.
3. Hurrican Dennis took off our roof.
4. Woolfie and I had a mad 4 day get-away
5. I had heart,lung, liver, brain transplant over weekend.
6. I was out of state getting art lessons from Billie.
7. As I was kayaking on the Euphrates River I decided to visit w/troops a few days
8. My HTML went on pity-party strike for user abuse.
9. I went flying with Dutchess to California to see Just Amy & Mama_bear.
10. Diver Dave, Scubachick and I went to the Bahamas to check out the water and hurricanes.
11. I went to help Gabz following her foot surgery.
12.Snugs needed help in England with her dad.
13. Aquamarine needed some help sorting out her geodes.
14. I stuck my foot in my mouth(again) & needed to have surgical removal.
15. I joined Lance/crew for the most recent stage of the Tour de France..

Well, whatever the reason.. ..
HERE WE BE!!!! ..

And we will “be” for 3 days on this one thread. So post fun things, words of wisdom & use this for a three day HTML sandbox - think billie will be around to help ...but a few will be traveling.

And to use this time to wish a happy birthday to my DEAR son Jeff who turned 33 yesterday. His bride of 10+ years Shannon has a birthday today. Here they are with their two children at Stan Hywet last summer.

Morning, ((((Pip))))

[ST.LOUIE1]

Morning, Dolly.

[Pippin]

Just fine!

Just finished reading HBP

Now to wait for book #7!

[Pippin]

((((LOUIE)))))!

Howdy!

[Mrs.Nooseman]

I am glad to hear that you are doing fine!

HBP? Sorry, I am not familiar with the appreviation.

[Pippin]

The 6th book in the Harry Potter series

"The Half Blood Prince".

[Mrs.Nooseman]

That is what I thought,but wanted to make sure!

I read the first, second and third book,but then my kids lost interest in it and I stopped buying them.

[Pippin]

They're missing some good stories! :o)

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Maybe I should go to the library today and pick up book #4 and see if they'll get back into it.

[Pippin]

Worth a try.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Yes,that is true!

I need a new book to read anyway.;)

[Pippin]

;O)

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Morning all (well here it is afternoon!)...

I have never read the Harry Potter books but like the movies, Pip.

I did read LOTR in college & truly enjoyed the movies and didn't care a bit for any deviation from it.

Hot here in Ohio/muggy too. Lots to do today.. some big projects/some small.

Glad to see you back Pip.. did you get the computer mess straightened out?

Luv, I usually see my brother/family once a year. Now that he has grandchildren from oldest daughter (first marriage) in NE Ohio, he has motivation to get here. Have tried to get there once a year also. When I lived in Houston I was able to make more frequent trips.

I try to see my son/family in NC twice a year but now with my mom's condition worsening, that has not been possible

[DollyCali]

I never did thank you for the cute "I ate your cake" post for my son/dil. And look at you doing a "billie table"!!!

I did send them the URL to the thread, don't know if they will be here. My son had to work long hours both days. He does commercial construction & they are very busy. He does among other things, dry-wall. Said it was incredibly hot in the new construction with no air cond/fans.. things closed off.

Better get busy.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Just sent it out in my e-mail! Thank you!

[Pippin]

A belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, Dolly!

I'll be keeping you mom in my prayers.

[MEG33]

Good afternoon to the Finest..Thanks for the thread, Dolly..Prayers for your mother.

[snugs]

That is wonderful LOL
