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

I guess she probably didn't have insurance and so she probably didn't take her car to be repaired and so no one questioned the damage to her car or found blood on it.

After one of her friends at the party had contacted police to report what she'd said, they investigated. The seats in her car had been taken out, probably to be cleaned free of blood? Anyway, they found them in the back yard I think, and one of them had been partially burned. I imagine she was trying to get rid of the evidence.

I think the car was still parked in the garage when police went to her house.

[LadyX]

Yes, granted, that is undoubtedly a comfortable and happy house.

This, however, is the abode of the Honorable (more or less) Dog Gone, Esquire.

His friend, Happy Gal, lies on the lawn beside it.

[Dog Gone]

LOL, I wish!

[MeekOneGOP]

So - you had to try to train RATS in the lab?

Rats ?? Did someone say 'RATS ?? . . .

The Dirty 'RATS !

[MeekOneGOP]

Speakin' of 'RATS . . .

[nicmarlo]

Dear Billie, This is to inform you blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah has threatened to shoot me, pound my head with a mallet and saw it in half. Not only that, but she also called me a vicious name, "Thin Mint" on two occasions. blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah..... Sincerely, The Thin Man cc: nicmarlo LadyX

---

Uh, hey, Mr. Thin Mint, you left out the lightning bolt! : )

And Billie and LadyX, if he's getting that dog as an attorney, then I deserve the King of Dogs for mine (that would be meekie, of course!) (hee hee).

[nicmarlo]

can't tell her anything !

meekie, I always listen to EVERYTHING you say; it's just I find many things you do say incredulous! : )

[nicmarlo]

LOL!

[nicmarlo]

Uh, LadyX.....I distinctly remember meekie posting that dog pic, quite a while ago.....now, did you steal from him or did he steal that from you? (Enquiring minds want to know : )

[dutchess]

She just dragged it....I TRIED ALL WEEK TO DRAG IT! BUT...it happened so quickly that she could have done something else (see my tin hat????)

I DID get a new mouse today (that's how this all started) After the guy helped me find one he said one of the features of the new one is that it doesn't have a ball that you occasionally have to take out and clean.... I kind of did a gulp and said "you're suppost to clean the ball?" I could probably have saved myself $30 by saying "never mind" and just clean the old one...but he was so nice.... (do I sound codependent or what????)

ANYWAY....LOVE the new mouse...don't need a mousepad or anything!

[MeekOneGOP]

hehe ! Glad ya found yer ToolBar !

I found this pic today! Looks like CarlsbadCaveman found a sweetie ! LOL!
http://www.chilebikes.com/images/coffee.gif

[nicmarlo]

now, who's Carlsbad Caveman?

[MeekOneGOP]

#206-207: LOL !

Hey! I gotta step out for a little bit. Hoping to be back here in a little bit. If not, see ya'll manana ! :O)

[nicmarlo]

I need to get off soon, too.....taxi cab for daughter! : ) And if I'm not back on later, you and y'all have a good evening! : )

[LadyX]

You're barking up the wrong tree, nicknack, if you think intimidation will work on this Lady!

"THAT PICTURE" just happens to be a portrait of The Highly Esteemed Dog Gone, as it appears right on his Profile Page..:))

Now - - TAKE IT BACK, Missy!!

Besides, if you were to ask Meekie where he obtained one of his favorite dogs - a black animated one - you'd elicit from him the truth that he asked me if he could have it to add to his Board Room collage a day LONG ago when I had posted it.

M'Lady giveth - M'Lady doth not taketh away - - -

[Dog Gone]

I'm not sure my courtroom demeanor is sufficiently dignified for a case of this gravity. My pom poms need to be ironed.

[nicmarlo]

THAT PICTURE" just happens to be a portrait of The Highly Esteemed Dog Gone, as it appears right on his Profile Page..:)) Now - - TAKE IT BACK, Missy!!

Lady, methinks you're confused: I didn't take your doggone darn dog. So, there's nothing I can give back! (hehehe) Ask meekie to give it back to you again and to stop posting it all around FR. Oh, and one last thing

TTFN! Has to go get my daughter. (I'm a good mom, and not going to leave her to walk 10 miles home from her friend's house.) : )

[LadyX]

"Looks like CarlsbadCaveman found a sweetie !"

Say it isn't so, Meekie - you're breaking my heart..:>(

Ahm so sad, Meekie - plumb sad, ah tell yew - -

[LadyX]

"I'm not sure my courtroom demeanor is sufficiently dignified for a case of this gravity. My pom poms need to be ironed."

Not to worry, Dog Gone - this is an old friend of mine.

He can pound that gavel faster than Free-zee can talk - I think..:))

Never fear, The Thin Man - Dog Gone and I shall defend Your Honor....um...your honor....

[Dog Gone]

I'm glad you know the judge. The last one I faced with that kind of wrist action was threatening to use his gavel on my head.

I think The Thin Man has assembled the right team.
