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 12-2-3-4-05... T.G.I.F. at the Finest

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

[Temple Owl]

Tell your nephew that he is my prayers too, and please thank him for me.

[DollyCali]

glad you were able to be part of the ceremony with your son. Special memories & lots of pix? If you need help posting, just give any of us a holler!.. we can show him off with/for you next Monday if not sooner.

Thanks for checking in.. (and yes the weather sure sucks up north here when you esp return from the south)

[DollyCali]

Sistah's .. brothahs.. sorry I have been sparce.. Covered up big time with misc additional problems besides the biggies. HOPING tomorrow the Heating/plumbing man can be here. Temps dip to teens tongitht Got two more space heaters.. Mom's room is a balmy 70(she is cold as we normally keep here room a MISERABLE 85-90!!!)

The lower level is about 40-45. Under the covers it is great.. Lotsa covers, two large dogs & an assortment of kitties add wonderful comfort & I love breathing cold air. I normally have the windows open during the winter to offset for sleeping the uncomfortable level I set the thermos at to keep mom "satisfied" (can't say Happy.. that is rare)

just got in.. late afternoon, last minute tutoring for kids who did nothing all fall & now expect miracles.. not gonna happen.. But I appreciate the extra $$$ which will be needed for the repairs upcoming. Another Meeting tonight was GOOD..

Owe you a FReepmail re: the weekend FReepmail topics.. want to give my input & add my thoughts along the way. REALLY covered up next few days and the room with the computer is the coldest.. can see my breath in here. I now have on a small space heater & it is a bit better,

Toby cut his paw today..not sure how. blood was everywhere. He wont let me near it but has licked it enough to stop bleeding.. not sure what I am dealing with, will try to get a look tomorrow.

Billie/GeeBee, looking forward to the special posts the next few days.. and I am up for JH2 on Thurs.

Tulip, thanks for the special days
