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!

A GREAT BIG

to all our Hall of Famers and to all of you who have become part of our Finest Family ... as regular contributors and supporters who drop in every day to say hello and give a 'pat on the back' to the "Freeper of the Day" and the hostesses.  We wouldn't be here without you. : )

It's been nine months today since our debut, and we're still having fun. We hope you are. As promised, for your information and perusal, here is our third "Hall of Fame" - a list of all those who've held center stage ... from Monday, June 24, 2002 through Friday, March 21, 2003.

THIS WEEK'S THREADS 06-23-03 Military Monday 06-24-03 FR Finest One Year Anniversary

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' The guy's good, folks!

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

[Diver Dave]

Uh....have you opened your mail in the last 10 minutes? :)

No, and I ain't gonna, I'm too skeered. : )

Boy, are you in trouble now.

Sure glad I didn't get mentioned in this Top Secret mission. :) (Good thing I'm a stealth agent)

[Billie]

Thank you, IG - gotta have some posts without graphics or threads would never load! :) I appreciate the good wishes and your coming back today - two days in a row now! Thank you!

[Billie]

Thank you so much, John. This is all getting to me, and I have to stop and get a kleenex every once in a while. You're all so generous.

Thank you.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Uh....have you opened your mail in the last 10 minutes? :)
No, and I ain't gonna, I'm too skeered. : )

Boy, are you in trouble now.
Sure glad I didn't get mentioned in this Top Secret mission. :) (Good thing I'm a stealth agent)

LOL

Hey, you're not getting off that easy...YOU were in on it from the beginning!

[Mama_Bear]

Piffle

LOL!! I echo your "piffle". :-)

[Billie]

Thank you, Texagirl. I'm glad you're here with us to enjoy it. Did you get some cake yet? :)

[Mixer]

Billie's Birthday?????? WOW!!!!!!!!!

~

I have seen the messages of missing me and me being missing in action and I just wanted to say that I miss all of you very much as well.

I wrote Dansy not too long back and explained that work had taken a busy turn on me and I have not been around (obviously) to post.

You are all such great FRiends and I hope to make my way home to you all soon.

[Mixer]

well I thought the other had not gotten through so now this is posted twice : )

If a mod wants to delete the dupe message and this one that would be fine with me. Other wise Billie deserves the posting twice over anyway so just leave it ; )

[JustAmy]

Heh Heh Heh
Happy Birthday, Billie Blue

You won't tell JustAmy that I was on her computer, will you?

[Mixer]

JustAmy.....Nice to see you as well.

[Mama_Bear]

See? I came back, just like I said I would. :-)

Girls, we have Billie's 'threat' in writing. I hope one of us survives to be able to use it against her. LOL

LOL! Psst.......I just checked my mail....don't tell anybody, but she's a lot of bark and no bite........well, maybe just a nip, but it was worth it. LOL ;-)

[Billie]

Thanks for the jazzy version of Happy Birthday! I guess we see they had this in the works way before you agreed to be one of our Finest Sistahs - officially!

Thank you, Aqua!

(((((((((((Aqua)))))))))))

[Billie]

You are a wascally wolfie!

Well....yes. LOL

:) Oops! I forgot......

(((((((((wolfie))))))))))   :)

[Billie]

Thank you, ru! I met him at lunch - he bought my Big Mac for me today. :)

[JustAmy]

Hey Everybody .......

Come on over; its Billie's Birthday!!

[Mixer]

Great to see a response from you as well. Cya soon.

[Billie]

Hahahahahahahaha - then I knew you didn't know what WE knew..:))

Sigh. :)

And BTW, DIVER!!!!! I just learned in my mailbox that YOU did!!!!!!! THAT's how you got that personal handwritten message from the boys so quickly!!!! Uh-HUH!!!!! :) I will go copy my mail to 'them' to you then! LOL!

[Mama_Bear]

......I honestly didn't have a clue. :)

Good! I was so afraid someone was going to ask......"hey, Billie, isn't your birthday this week?" We weren't the only one's who remembered your birthday, but those who did kept it quiet. :-)

I was wondering why we hadn't seen Lori very much last week though - didn't know she was preparing TWO threads for this week!

LOL! Yes, I've been a bit preoccupied.....but, enjoyed every minute of it.

(You certainly did a great job with THIS one, Sistah Bear!) Thank you both!

Thank you. It was fun.

BTW, you did a lovely job with the post today. Fortunately, today's post wasn't a "FReeper Spotlight", otherwise we wouldn't have been able to hijack the thread. :-)

[Billie]

It's been nine months today since our debut...

Yeah, yeah, yeah - just checking to see if you were checking. :)

Mumble, mumble, mumble.....Drats! I forgot to change that paragraph from the LAST Hall of Fame! Mumble, Mumble, Mumble. Shoulda known T Man would find it and OF COURSE he point that out. :)

[LadyX]

Aquamarine, does Mr. A have an extra fireman's suit I may borrow?

With Billie on the warpath, think it might be wise to be prepared..:))
