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 10-28 thru 10-30-05... T.G.I.F. at the Finest

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

[Darksheare]

Thankfully not.
All I had to do was stand around and look bored and merely mildly annoyed.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Got any pics?

[Darksheare]

Yes, battling with the proggy now.

[Victoria Delsoul]

OK.

[fatima]

Nice (((Hugs))) LadyX.

[Darksheare]

Done.


Cripes I look bored and mildly annoyed in the second one.. sans glasses.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Well, you achieved your goal, right?

[The Mayor]

I am so sorry not to have been around more today but this is the last week before election day..

I had a busy day from replacing the alternator in my sons car to having a meeting with some people over a press conference I will be having very soon.

Details will most likely take a whole thread.
That will be coming soon!

[luvie]

I figured you were getting pretty busy phlanging everything up and making sure you've done everything possible to get this election done right!

We all look forward to the details, even if it does take a lot of space! Prayers being said for your ultimate success!

What kind of feedback are you getting from people over the public appearances you've had in the past couple of weeks?

[Dubya]

God bless you and good luck.

[Darksheare]

Yes.
Now I have to get the crud I painted by my eye off...

[LadyX]

Thank you for coming by, fatima.
How is that sweet baby Sarah?

[The Thin Man]

Butterfinger

It figures!!!  You leave me with the one candy bar I don't like. :-)

Now if it was a Nut Goodie I might have eaten it.

[The Mayor]

Thanks Dubya... Really appreciate it!

[Texagirl4W]

Best of luck to you.

[The Mayor]

Thanks..

[LadyX]

[fatima]

Thank you for asking LadyX,I was with her tonight.She was a bumblebee.My daughter Sherry and her husband Jim have an open house every Halloween and I went with my husband Ed.Jim likes to cook Freedom Fries-wings-fried chicken and Sherry had a chocolate flow thing that you could dipped pretzels and strawberries in.We arrived first and the kids from the neighborhood were coming so I helped give out the candy.I went outside for a minute and saw all these children coming so grabbed 2 large bags of candy but as they came up the steps I realized they were my grandchildren,12 of them.It was funny and Sarah was having so much fun and dancing and making monster noises:)She will not be the youngest next year because Jeff's wife Kathy is carrying a boy due in Jan.

[The Mayor]
