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 10-20,21,22-06... T.G.I.F. at the Finest

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

[The Mayor]

I could be in the middle of the race for Erie County Legislature when you visit.

I just attended another candidates forum and I am quickly gonna upload the pics.

[luvie]

I look forward to seeing them. How did it turn out? Did the candidates actually show up this time?

[luvie]

Maybe we can do a FReep for you while we're there...unless you think it might frighten those NY Libs! LOL!

[The Mayor]

Me speaking to the folks at Eastern Hills Weslsyan Church..



Five candidates showed up this time so this took longer but it was enjoyable.
The guy sitting beside me is a 32 year incumbent in the state senate,
he complimented me on my knowledge of the issues.

[The Mayor]

Maybe there will be an event going on like a debate that you all could attend and see me in action!

Kewl, now that would be fun.

[onyx]

Thank you!
You're a HOTTIE and she's beautiful!!!!

[The Mayor]

Why Thank you..
Yes Mrs Mayor is a beautiful woman.
I am a lucky man.

[luvie]

Great pictures, Rus. And big surprise that you're knowledgable...you have had years of mistreatment by the Libs to study how NOT to do things!

Thanks for sharing these pictures! I am sure you were awesome.

I would be honored to attend a debate to see you in action. I am not sure what will be happening by that time.

[luvie]

Wow!

[MEG33]

Congratulations,Mayor!

I have a painful backache that is irritated when I sit at the computer ..If it seems I post and run..I do at times. I do read and see your replies at some point but I am having to cut short my freeping, including my replies and acknowledgments... This comes and goes..I am ready for it to go!!

My prayers and good wishes are with you, Mayor.

[NYTexan]

Good luck Rus!

My tagline persists

[Majie Purple]

Re: your # 74 reply...Yes it is neat to place names with faces!

[Majie Purple]

You'll have to come and visit.. We will give you a tour.

Such a nice offer! Thanks much! Hope to be able to take you & Fam. I'd love that! I've only seen The Falls once in person... & Firstly t'would be awesome to one day meet you & Fam!

[Majie Purple]

Splendid posts as always!
My fave of these 3 great ones today
is the orange sky one...
Breathtaking!

[.30Carbine]

Amen, and thank you for that lovely painting.

[.30Carbine]

And in my every trial rejoice.

Amen. Rejoicing in the Lord is my glorious grand and privileged choice (some times this choosing is harder than others, lol). I've learned great lessons through my trials, the result of which is this:

He Is Always Worthy of Praise; I am always blessed in giving it.

Amen again!

[DollyCali]

good pix rus & good report that the opponent complimented you on issues.. RATS are used to people having talking points on whatever they want (global warming, war, etc) & often NOT addressing the issues pertinent to the constituent, perhaps.

Anyone following your candidacy & your web page KNOWs you KNOW & ADDRESS the issues & fight for reform

Yes, next Aug when the Texas lasses visit, I will try to join part of the party!

[Mrs Mayor]

Hey girlfriend! Thanx again for comin' to visit -- it was so nice spending some time together, even for a little while. It's funny you should mention global warming. I've been saying we need a very outspoken person here to combat the ridiculous things the Dems come out with here, in the socialist republik of Buffalo. Like when they whine "Where's FEMA?", we wonder, who needs FEMA when we've got able-bodied Buffalonians and the National Guard ~? and, "For God's sake, we have freezing temperatures in mid-October -- WE DON'T GIVE A WHIT ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING!!"

[stopem]

Wow I missed Military Monday
Preparing for 16 days out of the country appears to be taking practically all my time.

[Majie Purple]

Hope Your back ache goes away soon and very soon!
