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

I tried to tell you about "them".

[dutchess]

Goodmorning FR Friends...it's Thursday and time for some common sense from our favorite resident author, John Huang2. Please join us HERE

[Billie]

That's the most adorable kitten and the 'spring chicken' with it! Thanks again, Dansy!

[Billie]

Well, I confess I like this bluebird MUCH better! Let's don't tell T Man though - after all, he was on his not-quite-as-bad behavior yesterday, and wouldn't want to hurt his feelings. :)

[Billie]

I do know how you feel, and the feeling's mutual. I love you, Sistah!

[Billie]

Thank you so much, F'stix - haven't seen you in a while. Thanks for coming over yesterday. :)

[Billie]

Will you tell us in what great Texas tradition you will celebrate your special day? A BBQ? An all day shopping extravaganza at Neiman Marcus? A day of primping and Big Har pampering? or are you doing that ultra feminine thang...huntin' and fishin' ;-)

LOL! Gee, how well you've pegged Texas wimmen! (The Neiman Marcus all day shopping extravaganza is my No. 1 choice, though I'll have to wait 'til the weekend.) :) Actually, lunch out with a couple of friends, and some 'in' last night, plus most all day with a whole bunch of FRiends made for a great day! :)

(I'll leave the huntin' and fishin' to those who might actually enjoy it!) :)

[dansangel]

Thanks again, Dansy!

Cut that out! The thanks go back at *you* ((((((((Billie))))))).

[Billie]

Thank you, Ruthie! Been a very long time since I've seen you, so your post was especially sweet to see. Happy birthday to your sister today, and hope your little one enjoys smushing cake all over her face tomorrow. :)

[Billie]

Gosh, Aeronaut - I didn't realize you were such a chef - or florist! Pretty cake! Lotsa pretty ping roses! Thanks - you probably picked those right out of your own backyard (which was quite spectacular, from the pic you linked the other day) :)

[Billie]

You two! I'm relieved to know that the majority of the next several gazillion posts are just the two of you chatting up the thread! :) (Thanks again for making me work so hard today, being sweet and gracious and typing my fingers to the bone) :)

[Billie]

Thank you so much, lysie. That was beautiful!

[Chong]

Thanks for the invite, Amy.

Billie,

Happy Birthday to yeewwww ~ ~ ~
Happy Birthday to yeewwww ~ ~ ~
Happy Birthday dear Billieeee ~ ~ ~
Happy Birthday to yeewwww ~ ~ ~

And many more~~~ :-)

[Billie]

You found it! I think that one is so cute, and it's amazing how much it looks like Diver!

[Billie]

I figure it's either one heck of a dance, or one heck of a domestic disturbance.

Either way, he seriesly needs to get a different deodorant. <|:)~

LOL! Too funny!

[Billie]

Still think that little Silly Shelly is a cutie, Nan! And I got your email, and thank you. Wish you could have been here earlier yesterday - we would love to have shared the birthday cake from T Man with you. You do like green and red jello frosting, don't you? :)

[Billie]

Ladies, wolfie has had a loooong day and is leaving the building.

And one more time, "Thank you."

Please don't answer! LOL!

[RMDupree]

I hang out in the Hobbit Hole these days...far from the flame wars and such. My kids don't leave me with much energy for debates these days! LOL!

I just had to wish you a happy birthday though. You're a FReeper who will always be dear to my heart!

Love ya chica!
Ruthy

[Billie]

Well, thank you for the big ole birthday greeting, b4!

[Billie]

Thank you once more for all your contributions to our thread, Dubya, and for yesterday in particular, helping to make such a special day for me. :)
