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 thru -02-3-4-5-06... T.G.I.F. at the Finest

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

[DollyCali]

?

link worked for me... hmmm.. do you mean when you clicked on it you got the 404 message?

[MEG33]

To Our Veterans, Our Servicemen and Women and Their Families

*We Thank You*

[The Mayor]

It was excellent! Yes, all I did was remove the comma..

[The Mayor]

Amen!

[DollyCali]

Lovely Meg and good morning.. I have done the url "trick" at beginning before!

Once with a thread post = ugh!

need to get busy here.. will check in later

[The Mayor]

I was wondering what happened there Meg..

Thank you!

[The Mayor]

Thank you Cuz..

[The Mayor]

Well, DUH! to me, when I clicked the link on the bottom it worked fine!

[DollyCali]

Rus, perhaps I am misunderstanding you (a real possibility). I checked the view source on my link & there was no comma. I can click on it & it plays.

When you click on my link what do you get?

anyone else getting it or NOT getting it?

I am really a novice with music/media type posts & on my last computer had a nightmare of media player, real player & a few others seeming competing for url playing privileges.. I seem to have corrected it in this new computer (had about a month now)

[DollyCali]

okay, whew. thanks. I just was wondering what ohter little gremlins were at work this morning.

[MEG33]

I still had my"building links" and experimental links at the top!LOL It's not the first nor the last time I will do it!

[The Mayor]

Noproblem..

Did you get your car going?

[The Mayor]

OH, I hadn't noticed.

Beautiful flowers.

[MEG33]

Oh my..blurry screen. Thank you Dolly! Before You Go is bookmarked.

[DollyCali]

yes, my neighbor played around a bit with it. not sure what he did exactly. He helps now & then & is always amazed it is still running (159K miles)... I do need transmission work (change).. but have a better van that needs battery & alternator.. so that will be the one fixed when this one dies

[DollyCali]

yes, when I do them in a word processing program, I often put the link(s) at top also.

another "trick" is that I have labels which get included..

when doing a thread the labels are: Opening, Main, pledge, ping etc.. I normally try to enlarge font & make a bold color but still often it gets included in the "hurry up, I am late" type posts

[MEG33]

My Grandson corrected my Real Media takeover propensities.
I haven't a clue what he did as I was even less computer savvy then than now.

[The Mayor]

but have a better van that needs battery & alternator

That's a little less costly and work than a transmission.

[DollyCali]

well, need to tackle the day.. here are the holidays:


Massachusetts : Ratification Day (1788)
New Zealand : Waitangi Day-New Zealand Day (1840)
World : Boy Scouts Day (1910)
US : New Idea Week Begins
US : Ronald Reagan Day
Grapefruit Month

[DollyCali]

yes.. for sure less $$$. I like my old beater van though... my kennel van (all back seats removed).. transport kayaks, bikes, dogs & haul things...
