A Few of FR's Finest
....Every Day
FR is a Treasure Trove of talented, compassionate, patriotic, wonderful people who gather every day to discuss the latest news and issues; salute and support our military and our leaders;  tell a few jokes;  learn a new word;  write poetry;  pray for those in need;  and congratulate those who are deserving. Thank you, Jim Robinson, for giving us the vehicle in which we can express ourselves.
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 November 11, 2001

So many people have written me since my original Veteran's Day Tribute, asking how they, or a loved one, could be included in that tribute. Since I could no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I had been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.
Still that didn't seem to be enough. I think there's never been a better nor more appropriate time to keep the faces of our own Veterans and Active Military in front of FReepers--every day! That's why I wanted to do yet another Daily Thread .....ABOUT FReepers .....and FOR FReepers. But not only about our Military FReepers; for all FReepers! Wouldn't it be nice to get to know a few of the other FReepers as well? That's why we've created a place for just that. This is a friendly room in JimRob's house where FReeper FRiends can gather every day and just say hello if that's all they want to do.
There's more of course. We sometimes feature different FReepers, with a little background information on who they are and what makes them who they are, along with a few photos you might not have seen on other threads; sometimes others write an essay for us to post as the feature for the day; sometimes our presentation is a human interest story found elsewhere that you might not have read; sometimes special holiday threads; but whatever the topic of the day, it is always with FR's Finest in mind and that is YOU!
If you would like to be featured, or would like to see someone else featured, please send me a private FR mail.
Every Monday we will post the photos of FR's Military Personnel that I have collected and put into groups; these will be available to view through a link the remainder of the week - every day just a click away. :)   If you would like to add a photo of yourself or a loved one in the military, past or present, please let me know; I will hold it until I have enough for a new group.
Thank you, and please have fun with us...every day! ~ Billie

THE WEEKEND THREAD

07-12,13-03 Week in Review

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

You have to be very careful not to leave any food out NOT intended for them!

LOL. We were eating at a restaurant in Brisbane, al fresco, and had a huge Ibis join us. He was insisting he was going to share our lunch. We won out and managed to keep him away. If he had been much bigger, we might have had to let him join us. LOL. I guess they are used to getting scraps off the tables.



We heard so many interesting bird calls in Australia. We couldn't see most of them in the trees, but their songs were almost jungle-like. Very different from the bird calls here. I wished I had more time to discover what birds were in the area. I asked a couple locals if they knew what kind of birds we were hearing, but they didn't seem to know. I guess they were just commonplace birds to them.

Hi Pip. Thanks for checking in. Was getting a bit concerned about you.

Sorry you won't be around as much, but try to check in when you can so we'll know you're okay.

God bless you too, FRiend.

How funny! Lunch with an ibis! Now that is something that doesn't happen everyday.

Did you post any pictures of your trip to down under? Do you have the URL to that thread? That is one of my 'dream trips'.

**But backpacking it.**

Guess you realize that I've already swiped that beautiful aqua angel. :)

America is under assault from without and within...seems to me the Dim jihad is a wind as fierce as the Islamokazi storm...

They're just alike...only difference is the dims haven't started blowing themselves up yet. At least not with explosives. lol

Good to see you Amy, is it hot out West today? It's mild and overcast here, we haven't had any real summer weather yet, just alot of rain. My tomatoes won't ripen up, they just stay green and some are starting to rot!
