A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....03-28-06....Hall of Fame #15
FR Archives | Billie

Posted on 03/28/2006 7:24:24 AM PST by Billie



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!

~ Billie, Dutchess, DollyCali, Mama_Bear, GodBlessUSA ~










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 ALMOST FOUR YEARS OLD now! Still having fun. We hope you are. As promised, for your information and perusal, here is our fifteenth "Hall of Fame" - a list of all our threads from the very beginning ... from Monday, June 24, 2002, through yesterday, March 27, 2006.

What a bummer. To bad the server can't remember both names.:)

I got that particular one fixed. It never hurts to ask nicely. :)

Good afternoon, Miss Billie.

Hope your Tuesday is sunnier than ours.
We had rain all night and it is still raining today.
We need the rain so I'm not complaining, just wish the sun would shine for awhile. :)

Thank you for the updated Hall of Fame.
They are a treasure to our Finest Family.

Thank you for another lovely thread.

Oh my gosh! I didn't even know that thread existed, and look at the number of posts already! I'd say your poem fits the thread quite nicely. Who says they all have to be *pretty* or *sweet* poems? :)

When I first started downloading to photobucket I kept deleting entries not realizing, unlike tinypic, you had to leave it in your own files there.....

Not such a big thing in our comment posts, but it is nice if our opening posts stay intact. :( Sometimes it's unavoidable - a server messes up, loses files, shuts down, or something, and then some (like me) accidentally alter a file name, and oh, it is ugly! LOL

Good, Majjie. There are some really neat threads in our archives. Some are just fluff, but many are really good. :) I do the Hall of Fame every three months, and we can go backwards to find every thread we've ever posted. Provided, that is, I didn't mess up a link. :( But even then, the thread before or after the messed-up link should get you to the right one. Plus our TGIF threads have that week's Monday through Thursday links.

Wow, Billie. Almost 4 years. Better start planning for the anniversary party. :)

Would you like to be in charge? :)

Took a short trip down memory lane with some of those profiles. Indeed, lots of missing graphics in the early ones.

I know. :( Hate that.

"...Plus our TGIF threads have that week's Monday through Thursday links."

I noticed that a while back...Nice feature! It's hard to imagine that The Finest got started just 4 years ago...seems as though it's been here much longer! I'm glad that The Finest Thread got started! This one and The Dose are my never miss a day since arriving to FR Threads!

Hi BillieImage hosting by TinyPic

I meant to pop in earlier today. I hope you are doing well! Lovely thread! I'll be looking and reading links of the past Finest, tonight ;). I always really enjoy doing so. Thanks!

I have learned not to move my pictures so I don't mess up a past thread. :)

Whoa, BillieBob : )

LOL. That's cute. :)

"And trust the end we shuttle to to Someone Else’s hands."

Just yesterday, in a discussion with DCFReeper Albion Wilde regarding FReeper Cindy-True-Supporter gravely injured son (Prayer thread here http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1601798/posts) I remarked:

the "...only one with His hand on the wheel for this trip is God."

Oh my gosh - isn't that something! But either way you or Bob said it, it's a beautiful reality.

Hmmm...



Good afternoon, Miss Billie.




Hope your Tuesday is sunnier than ours.
(Yes, I know it's good for all the flowers!)

We had rain all night and it's still raining.
We need the rain so I'm not complaining,

Just wish the sun would shine for awhile.
(Now, that would leave me with a smile!) :)

Thank you for that Hall of Fame.
It's a treasure to our Finest (Family) Name!

Thank you for a lovely thread,
And of course, on Friday, I'll be wearing red!


There, fixed it.

Billie, Your table reminded me of this poem-

Then let's put it inside. It does. I love that poem, too. :)



Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
New-made friendships, like new wine,
Age will mellow and refine.

Cherish friendship in your breast-
New is good, but old is best;
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.

~ from the poem by Joseph Parry

It's such a sad time for those who loved the one who passed away. Nothing but time can really make it better. :(
