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. I
can remember lurking when there were only a few regulars who posted, and now there are over 60,000 who have registered for posting privileges. 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 can no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I've been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.

Still that doesn'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, in addition to seeing FR's Finest Military Personnel every day, I thought it might be fun to feature a different FReeper (or FReepers) each day. If you would like to be pictured, or know someone who would, please FReepmail me and we'll turn the spotlight - on YOU - for the day!

And do let me know if you'd like your picture added to the groups of Veterans/Active Military below. I will keep this page updated, and continue to add them to the comment section of the original Veteran's Day thread as well.

To Our FReeper FRiends: We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our spotlight on various FReepers. We thought we'd kick back on the weekends and simply review those who've been featured during the week. If you missed seeing them and want to say hello to them now, feel free to click on the link to that particular thread. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today and tomorrow, please feel free to do that also. One of us will always be around to see the welcome mat is still out, and maybe even put fresh flowers on the table. :)

[lodwick]

Hi all . We are finally home. The first annual BC Library vacation is now conluded. Unfortuntely, our dog/cat sitter thought we were coming home yesterday. (we had Gizmo, but left Codee our 15 year old sheltie and,Fred, our 12 year old one eyed mutant cat home)Actually we weren't going to be back until tomorrow but decided on getting here early to have a day to "chill". That, unforuntatly turned into an afternoon of "cleaning all sorts of stuff on off white carpeting", once we finished that...we could not connect to our internet...a modem problem.. It started off as an ugly homecoming!

As they say in the Wizard of Oz....there's no place like home. I agree...the poops cleaned up, I now have a connection, all our animals survived the vacation and am just glad to be among freeper friends....

Thanks for a friend site to call home!

Now that is what we need on a sign on Fridays Mama! The Clean house California graphic! How cute is that? I made a couple of anti Davis ones last night, but they were scribbled in a hurry.

[JustAmy]

WOW Thanks Louie!

[ladyinred]

Yes yes yes! The delivery guys said between 8 and 5 and that is just so frustrating. Especially when it is a frig delivery because you have to clean out the old one and try to keep everything from defrosting!
We had ice chests ready, and when they rolled in at noon, I started throwing frozen food into the chests and running around like a maniac! LOL!

My new frig is humming away now, nice and clean and white! I think I should be able to get a new one every few weeks so I can always have a clean one! :)

[ladyinred]

Amy, someone is frantically trying to get JustFranks picture! Will have it pretty soon, he is just as camera shy as I am!

[ladyinred]

Now, the Beatles, that's a different story. I was convinced that I was "in love" with each of them at one time or other. :-)

Ahhh! Me too! I was one of those screaming Beatlemaniacs! I got to see them live in concert in San Diego, thrill of my life up to then! Okay, probably still is the thrill of my life! LOL

[ladyinred]

I don't know who insisted I take a bath! JustFrank

Dirty, dirty little doggie! Your mama needs to wash your mouth out with doggie shampoo! You must stink really bad if someone has to stick a carnation in your bottom!

[lodwick]

[ladyinred]

LOL! I know, and it has gotten me in trouble more than once. :-(

GIGGLE! (hee hee)

[JustAmy]

[dutchess]

LOL...Great Cartoon!

[ladyinred]

LOL! He must be a Texan eh?

He must have been a 25lb baby!

[Libertina]

Have a relaxing break. Kick back and tune into the live broadcast of FRiva Las Vega!

[JustAmy]

Hey ..... Who needs their mouth washed out with doggie shampoo? LOL

[ladyinred]

ey ..... Who needs their mouth washed out with doggie shampoo? LOL

Me, maybe? :)

[lodwick]

Thanks. Tuned in now. I appreciate it.
