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!

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. : )

It's been FOUR AND A HALF YEARS and we're still having fun. Hope you are. As promised, for your information and perusal, here is our 18th "Hall of Fame" - a list of all our threads from the very beginning ... from Monday, June 24, 2002, through the New Year's Weekend, January 01, 2007.

THIS WEEK'S THREADS 01-08-07 Military Monday

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

[GodBlessUSA]

I know what you mean. I'm surprised, with how my daughter drops the mouse that it still works. :)

[luvie]

There will be plenty of guns....I am sure you will be given a chance. It would be fun to meet you, too. I think Ms.B is trying to make it. We all have our fingers crossed!

[luvie]

Hey, Big Brother!

Didja get my e-mail today? I am READY!!!!!

I am restraining myself from packing today! I just need to print out my iteneraries and remember to print out a boarding pass the night before. :D

Yeeeehawwww!

[NYTexan]

Yer excited?

I couldn't tell.

Got the info, looks like yer in much earlier than me.

[luvie]

I AM excited, but I am trying to be dignified. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I am getting in earlier than you...it was the only flight available at a decent price. I can pick up your car and drive to the hotel then come back to get you, or can take a taxi to the hotel and wait for you. The hotel is close, is it not?

I don't mind...I can FReep ( :D ) or take a nap and then you'll be there!...oh! And eat lunch somewhere close. I am not worried about being alone for a while.

[luvie]

...and I just printed my iteneraries so I won't forget my confirmation #s this time. *sigh*

[luvie]

GEEEEBEEEE!! You're here and I didn't see you!

Did you have a better day today? I have been out running around with an old friend who was in town. We had a good time catching up.

(((hugs)))

[Billie]

I love this idea. But I can't just pick one. LOL BRB ;)

Great! I'm glad to see you posting some of the graphics from past threads. (Be sure to put the link and/or date and title if you remember on others!) Thank you, GeeBee!

In Your Easter Bonnet ~ 4-6-04

My Hat! My Hat!
Must have my Hat!
I put it on,
And I'm ALL THAT!*

L to R: Temple Owl, knighthawk, ladtx, Diver Dave, The Mayor, ST.LOUIE1, jwfiv, Aeronaut, and MeekOneGOP.
The Thin Man is there, between St.Louie and jwfiv, but he is just so skinny, you can't see him.
JohnHuang was working on his Two Cents for Thursday and couldn't make the shoot.
All the others said No Way they're wearing one of those hats and resting on a pink background.

See thread for pics of some of the Finest Ladies in their Easter bonnets. :)

[Billie]

I loved your graphics and topic. I was not happy, I wasn't able to be around this day to enjoy the thread.

"Deck the Halls" - thank you, GeeBee, I really enjoyed doing that one. :)

[Billie]

Beautifully done, Billie. Brings tears to my eyes.

Thank you, onyx, each of us try to keep our lists coordinated, but all with different backgrounds. We change those up once in a while, too. :)

[Billie]

I was reviewing some of JH2's Posts trying to get familiar with how that's done again. Good news is - I've already got his newest essay for Thursday and will have a few days to get it ready.

I was very happy to see John was BACK this week! Yahoo! Glad you got an extra day to put it together - no rushing that way. :)

Reposting this pic of Rusty at the computer, it's so funny. (I miss Dutchess!)

I love that pic of Rusty! Dutchess better be back here soon. I miss her, too, but happy she's getting to have some time away. :)

[Billie]

Boy am I late/in trouble. Still haven't left computer. Started cruising threads here & there It's all Billie's fault!

LOL! I'm enjoying seeing others post some of the old thread pics again. Have just chosen a few of mine at random from older Hall of Fame threads. Meg also went back further than today's HoF. :) Your butterfly thread was one of your prettiest ever!

[GodBlessUSA]

Lovely Luv! Thanks! :)

[Billie]

A Few of FR's Finest...Every Day...03-15-06....Butterflies !! The "Pretty" Bugs!

[Billie]

Can we come to this party in our jammers? :D

You bet! We'll make it a jamma party. :)

[Aquamarine]

This is one of my favorites of yours, it's very classy and original. Love the way you put a touch of pink throughout the black and white Post.

[GodBlessUSA]

This is such a fantastic thread Billie! I really enjoy reading and this photo of our First Lady Laura Bush is gorgeous. You are so incredibly talented:)

[luvie]

Sounds like the best kind of party to me! :D
