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 ~

To Our FReeper FRiends: We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. We thought we'd kick back on the weekends and simply review the features of the week. If you missed seeing them and want to say hello there 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. ~ Billie

Little Zachary, a Jewish kid, was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything: tutors, mentors, flash cards, special learning centers, in short, everything they could think of to help his math.

In a last ditch effort, they took Zachary down and enrolled him in the local Catholic school. After the first day, little Zachary came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn't even kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Zachary was hard at work. His mother was amazed. She called him down to dinner, to her shock, the minute he was done, he marched back to his room without a word, and in no time, he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for sometime, day after day while the mother tried to understand what made all the difference.

Finally, little Zachary brought home his report card. He quietly laid it on the table, went up to his room, and hit the books. With great trepidation, his Mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Zachary got an "A" in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity.

She went to his room and said, "Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?"
Little Zachary looked at her and shook his head, no.
"Well, then," she replied, "Was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms? WHAT was it?"

Little Zachary looked at her and said, "Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't messing around."

Thank You, LadyX for posting the link here. It was quite an evening, one I will remember for a long time :-)

Love the picture you posted of New Hampshire, very pretty. Reminds me a bit of the farm my folks had in upstate New York, I guess it is the red barn and all those trees that puts Deposit, NY in my mind....great memories!

[LadyX]

It was such a great thread, Colleen, I didn't want anyone here to miss it!

Figured you were busy and would get to it eventually..:))

We are so pleased to have ones like you who take up the slack for those of us who are not mobile - who would love to Freep, but can't!

We're indebted to you, and thank you for all you do.

Thank You for your kind words my friend. There are so many people who do so much for our cause, I am so grateful to them. Wish there was more I could do. I was so happy to have the opportunity to attend this freep, firebrand freepmailed me about it and I couldn't pass it up. Doctor Raoul came up from Pennsylvania and firebrand came from the city...that is dedication!

[Billie]

Good morning, Colleen - I saw pictures from your Hillary FReep in My Comments - THEY ARE WONDERFUL!!!! I'm going to go read the writeup in just a few minutes!

Good Morning! Military Monday HERE
