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!

Welcome to another
Fabulous Friday at the 'Finest',

YIKES!! It's....















Yes, it's just...

Superstition n. A belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation; an irrational abject attitude of mind toward the supernatural, nature, or God resulting from superstition; a notion maintained despite evidence to the contrary.

Good morning, Sistahs and FRiends

Cute thread today, Lori. :) Wanted to check in and say hello and wish everyone a SAFE, uneventful day. :) Thanks to all of you who make it so much fun for us to open the doors here every day. :)

[dutchess]

Hi ladtx...didn't get a chance to thank you for posting your son's email the other day....You must be mighty proud! Prayers being sent his way.

I'm from the part of the country that gave us

We got serious moth issues there. <|:)~

[Mama_Bear]

Hiya Aeronaut. Fly safe......if you're flying today. ;-)

I know that many people refuse to fly on Friday the 13th, but have you heard of any superstitions peculiar to pilots? Sailors seem to have hundreds of them - many of them having to do with cats, for some reason.

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning to you! Nice to have you pop in.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Good morning, Ms.Fuzzy! : )

Extra cute thread today.

Sorry, I don't have any superstitions to add.

Wolves don't have any. : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

LOL!!

[Aeronaut]

...have you heard of any superstitions peculiar to pilots?

Not really, but one aviation pearl of wisdom worth remembering: "Keep the clean side up and the noisy end forward."

[martin_fierro]

You hush your moth.

Hey, Dansy!

Yes, the good news is IT'S FRIDAY.....and the other good news is.....this is the only Friday the 13th of 2003, so it'll be clear sailing until the end of the year. ;-)

Have a good one, Sis.

[Mama_Bear]

Hi ladtx! Cute graphic for our Fri the 13th thread. :-)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Looks like a green elephant with two trunks. : )

[Aquamarine]

Good morning all. Hope everyone has a beautiful spring day...even if it is Friday the 13th. :)

Love the annimated music notes, Mama Bear.

[Mama_Bear]

,i>I should have stayed in the house in the corner 'cause it was sure scary driving to work through the storms in the DFW area this morning.

Yikes! But, since you are talking to us, you must have made it there okay. Hope the return trip is less scary. :-)

[dutchess]

Beautiful tulips Aqua. Have a great weekend!

[ladtx]

Been a rough week for north Texas, and gonna be a rough night tonight from what I hear. On the way to work today I say 2 trees blown down. Mrs ladtx is on the road coming this way, she is having to drive thru some of it too. We've got our fingers crossed that she doesn't have any trouble.

Ooooh, purty. <|:)~
