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 11-11 thru 11-13-05... T.G.I.F. at the Finest

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

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Thank you.

Got to run.

See you this afternoon.

Have a great Monday.:)

[DollyCali]

I really overdid the physical this weekend & instead of taking pain meds like I should have all day, I took my last about 5 PM.. so by the wee hours it was pretty rough. I know pain is good because it limits us so the sore parts can heal.

[martin_fierro]

[The Mayor]

But, doesn't the pain meds just cover up the problems?
I hope you are better soon.

[Temple Owl]

Good morning Mayor and FReepers everywhere. Have a happy week.

[DollyCali]

yes, just cover up. Sprains need to heal.. sprained groin. Not much they do for most sprains other than recommend you don't use part much.. Thanks Rus.. and good morning officially to you & all Finest FRiends..

couple more nice days & it appears winter will arrive here.

bummer

[DollyCali]

how neat!

[The Mayor]

Oh, didn't know you sprained anything.. Ouch!

I gotta run and attempt to earn some money.

[The Mayor]

Morning Temple, you too!

[Diver Dave]

Mornin' Dolly. Hope the meds bring some comfort. All the meds do for me is take the edge off the pain.

Great picture of you, John Mike and "Jake". Fond and comical memories brought forward seeing that Mark V helmet and suit.

[DollyCali]

Thanks Gents. Fell about 4 weeks ago. rough bike accident

couple good ones at Pookie's today

[DollyCali]

This was taken at a restaurant called Pickle Bills in Grand River, OH Really unique place with the wildest decor. If one gets to NE Ohio, this is a must stop place IMHO. I have hundereds of pix from there over the years. I need to get some things done now here. Maybe I can post some later

I was there a few weeks ago. played at the beach, went there for lunch, played some more & then went to Republican Meeting

for now here is the site

Pickle Bills cruise the site, fun place

and this is for our "hooked" friends here at the Finest ..LOL

[DollyCali]

chuckle break...

A large company, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO. This new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers. On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning on a wall chatting with whomever walked by. The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant business!

The new CEO walked up to the guy leaning against the wall and asked, "How much money do you make a week?"

A little surprised, the young fellow looked at him and replied, "I make $300.00 a week. Why?"

The CEO then handed the guy $1,200 in cash and screamed, "Here's four weeks' pay, now GET OUT and don't come back."

Mr. Slacker shrugged, smiled & left.

Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO looked around the room and asked, "Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-off did here?"

From across the room came a voice, "Pizza delivery guy from Domino's."

A fine Monday ... thanks for opening the doors, Russ.

Love the cartoon of that dear old-timer and his shadow on the wall ... thank you, Miss Dolly.

[AZamericonnie]
