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!
~ Billie, dansangel, dutchess, Mama_Bear

Thanks, Mixer!
1) Click on the graphic to open the Calendar. 2) Once there you can click on any month and even click to the right to go into next year. Once you are in the month that you joined FR you will need to click on the number in the calendar and then an add item screen will come up. 3) In the next box enter your name in the "Calendar Text" field and then click on submit. 4) If any of the screens fail to load simply click on refresh in your browser and that will usually fix it. 5) If all else fails or simply if you want me to do this for you send me a FReepmail and I will gladly do it for you. ~Mixer

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. Oh, no. Now I am going to worry until I know everyone has safely gotten where they are going. Let us know, okay?
I tried crossing my fingers for you two, but it made typing very difficult. LOL.
Seriously, I hope your storm tonight passes quickly and everyone comes through okay.
To: Mama_Bear
She just called me, she made it home OK, although she did have to pull over and wait out the downpour over around Tyler, TX.

Good morning, Valerie. Thanks for bringing the cheerful daisies.
You're in Texas, aren't you? Are you having bad storms too? Both Meekie and ladtx say it is storming where they are.
To: Mama_Bear
Wolves don't HAVE superstitions, they ARE superstitions. Isn't there something about hanging garlic around ones neck to keep wolves away?
Hmmmmmmm...or, maybe it is WEREwolves......or, is it dracula? I have no idea what I am talking about. LOL!You surely don't, missy! Wolves bring 'good luck' to the ladies that kiss one (wolfie, that is) ....they turn into a *Princess*. : )
And if you LIE about a wolf you'll turn into a 'frog' within twenty minutes.
Anyway, who would want to keep a sweet wolf away?
Especially not OUR sweet wolf. :-)

You just saved yourself from being known as Miss Froggie. : )
To: The Thin Man
I must take umbrage with you saying that "step on a crack, break your mother's back" is a superstition. Everyone knows that it's true. :-) LOL!! Any other superstitions you don't have? ;-)
What a red-letter day! Looks like I squeaked by with another mistakeless post (yes, I KNOW "mistakless" is not a word, LOL). I was holding my breath, preparing to rush into photoshop to fix the errors in my post that I was SURE you would be pointing out. Guess you didn't find any. Yippee!!
Happy Friday, Thin Man. :-)
To: ValerieUSA
My son Gavin flew today, too. He graduated Army boot camp in Fort Knox on Tuesday and by now is at Fort Aberdeen Maryland to attend school - gonna be a tank mechanic. You sound like a proud Mama.....as you should. Congratulations on your son's graduation. Brings back memories of our trip to Orlando for my son's graduation from Navy boot camp. He was a nuclear machinist mate.....I guess you could say he was a 'reactor mechanic'. :-)
To: ladtx
She just called me, she made it home OK, Great! Now, have her stay put until the storms pass. :-)

Looks like I squeaked by with another mistakeless postNot so fast! I didn't want mention this because it could be quite embarrassing. If you look closely at your clock, for a reason unknown, the "1" is missing. Shocking oversight! Nothing gets by these eagle eyes. LOL!
To: Mama_Bear
It is windy and muggy here, and it has rained some, but we are just south of the bad storms that hit Dallas and Tyler.
To: The Thin Man
Nothing gets by these eagle eyes. LOL! Dang! What would we do without your eagle eye? Bless you for keeping us hostesses humble as you nudge us toward perfection, ever so slowly.........LOL! It's a lost cause with me, that's for sure. ;-)

Friday the 13th...hmmm...Superstitions...I grew up knowing all the familar ones, didn't pay 'em no mind.
Always have loved the Wonder-tune, though...) and, I've been hiking in the Superstition Mountains but only found Fool's Gold, which is good enough for me (a pun for the Belles...)))
Nice to see your byline today, Mrs. Bear...very elegant thread, and delightful...thank you.
I wasn't even hip to it it bein' Black Friday so I started out on the wrong foot this morning...chores and a little Mac freeze make me late to the Cafe for a cup of good coffee...and I know I'm in trouble with Billie...again.
I'm telling ya, I'm just plain bad luck...hey, that's a superstition...)
I could blame it on Friday the 13th, but, as they say, the luck stops here.
OK, I'm ready now for the rest of the day...gonna turn bad luck good.
Wishing all Freepers a very fortunate Friday.

Just asking for some prayer to get through today. Thank you so much my friends. I guess I just needed to talk about it. Well, you've come to the right place. I will keep you in my prayers. How frightening to be given that kind of diagnosis!
Try to stay calm.....I would imagine that getting stressed and worked up just makes it worse, but I would also imagine it is impossible NOT to react that way.
God bless you, also, Chris. We worry about our friends, so please keep us informed about how you are doing.

To: LadyShallott
I'll be praying for you, Chris!

I've been hiking in the Superstition Mountains... Are those really called the Superstition Mountains? Where are they? Leave it to our creative and clever jw to find something appropriate and pertinent to post. You always do. :-)
And, you always remember to compliment us on our threads. Thank you so much. I hope everyone is enjoying this silly look at superstitions today.
gonna turn bad luck good.
Excellent! I like a man with a positive attitude. :-)

Hi, (((Lori)))
I left rather upbruptly this morning after reading about whoever, that shocked me and I had to get away from here for a while. I'm okay now. I just didn't know how ill she was.
