A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....08-09,10-05....Money is No Object

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!

~ Billie, Mama_Bear, Dutchess, Aquamarine, DollyCali ~

What if it were really true? What if you woke up one day and money really were no object? How would you change your life? Would your life change? Would it be better? Worse? Can money really buy happiness?

Let's *play like* today (and tomorrow) we can have absolutely anything in the world that money can buy.
Money's no object. What would you buy? Pretend we've already saved the world with our vast wealth, and now we're ready to spend it foolishly and selfishly. :)


Would you buy a bigger house?

Perhaps your own private island...




$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $


How many of these would you own?




$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $





$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $


Vacation around the world




You have a summer home, a winter home, a
beach house, a bungalow in the mountains....
You travel to exotic, faraway places and
stay in nothing but 5 star hotels and resorts.

AND...of course, only the best tables...
in the very finest restaurants will do.

Finest Restaurant? Why I think that's US!

If I woke up and were fantasticly wealthy, I would be torn which way to go. Should I buy a million dollars worth of peanuts or should I use it all to buy celery? I think I'll just keep spending my pittance on bird seed. They really seem grateful. The birds that is.

Oh, thank you, Mr. Owl! :)

If only all the money in the world could buy their safety and our freedom, we wouldn't need prayers, but I'll put my money on prayer and faith. God Bless and keep His loving arms around these men and women.





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.

What an awesome thread billie! Love the background, borders and the graphics are PERFECT! Besides good health for everyone I love will opt for a super safe fun airplane and sufficient funds to pick up my sistahs and finest friends and take them to spectacular fun random destinations. (ofcourse each passenger seat is equiped with it's own computer and link to Free Republic!) so you all can freep while we travel! (((((billie))))

We were told the theater N of Detroit had just been sold recently & had a new name .. a name of a communication /utility company.. Cingular maybe.. cant recall. I would know it if I heard it. I recall it was the old Pine Knob and it was nestled in woods with lots of evergreens.

Mark had us tickets front row/center. I could have grabbed
Chip Davis' ankles! I prefer just a little further back but it was nice to see their dental fillings etc.

:-0

glad you found a computer for a bit to use & know these are fun but semi=sweet times.
