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!

Thank you to all our Hall of Famers and to all of you who have become part of our Finest Family ... as regular contributors and supporters who drop in every day to say hello.  We wouldn't be here without you. : )

We're over THREE years old now! Still having fun. We hope you are. As promised, for your information and perusal, here is our thirteenth "Hall of Fame" - a list of all our threads from the very beginning ... from Monday, June 24, 2002 through yesterday, September 26, 2005.

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

[JustAmy]

The voters do not deserve you, Rus.

For them to be too lazy to get out and vote will not get them change. The ones who did not vote will probably be the ones complaining the loudest.

Thank you for trying to improve things by running. Sometimes Ugly wins.

[JustAmy]

Good night, Rus.

Have a peaceful sleep knowing that you gave it your all. Rest well.

[Billie]

Hi, Meg - I understand about the slow dialup and overloaded computer. My old pc didn't have a very large harddrive or memory, but usually I could load the graphics in a decent amount of time because I deleted my temporary files and history every day and generally tried to keep it *cleaned up* pretty well.

Finally broke down and bought a new one a couple of weeks ago (was not anxious to go from Windows 98SE to Windows XP), and it's amazing how fast it is, even though I'm still on dial up. I should have done this a long time ago! :)

[Billie]

Hi, dixie. Thank you - butterflies are so pretty, aren't they.

[NYTexan]

The folks were offered a cure for apathy, but they just didn't care!

Let's all move to Texas!

[Billie]

Evening, GBU. Hope you're getting over your cold and beginning to feel better. :)

[Billie]

Yum - strawberry cream pie!

[luvie]

The house next door to me is for sale---and Don even mows their lawn sometimes! :o)....and I'm series!

[Billie]

I LOVED seeing these pictures of your work, Rus - and yep! noticed that flag. What a great view in that bottom picture. What kind of siding are you going to do? That looks like red brick on the old part - is it? Really great decks and stairways!

Be sure and take pictures when you *finish* it, too!

Be sure and take pictures when you are all *finished* with the outside, too!

[NYTexan]

You would LUV that wouldn't ya!

Hehe, I'd still make ya FReepmail me! LOL!

[Billie]

160 lousy votes, the smear campaign worked here on the island. Why do I continue to do what I do? I really wonder sometimes. They deserve what they get.

*They* lost, Rus. You are still a winner in our book.

[luvie]

Now wouldn't that be funny. We could sit out on our patios and you could have your margarita--no salt--and I could have my lime diet coke and we could just tap away on the laptops! What a concept! LOL! Do it!!!!!! It's even fenced for Chancie! And a 2-car garage for the new wheels.....

[Billie]

Let's all move to Texas!

Well, ya'll c'mon down! :)

[NYTexan]

Very tempting!

Kitty ping to post #9!

Kitty Ping List alert!

[Freepmail me to get on or off the Kitty Ping List.]

[MEG33]

I delete my files several times a day..I use history for favorites because favorites got lost in my last recovery from fatal error. (the repair person did it)....I can't even delete a lot of stuff..can't find it..It's lost !

I think I better keep history only one day though. Thanks for the tip..I hate to miss the great pictures and graphics.

This is a handmedown..My son forced it on me to bring me into the computer age...It is loaded with off line genealogy, my grandson's stuff and programs I don't use..

It is a 95 and too old to fool with..I am at my daughter's so much that I haven't upgraded here as I have a newer one with XP there.

Here it is nice to have..but it is much more difficult to move along! I do get chores done while waiting for it to load at times!

[Billie]

Nite-nite, FRiends. See you tomorrow. :)

[tuliptree76]

Good night, Billie.

[luvie]

Well????????? The winters aren't as cold. Your parents would do great down here--it's home to them!...isn't it?
