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

8-09,10-03 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

At least I hope so, since I haven't figured out how to bring her back.

Oh come on T-Man, I thought you knew everything! LOL!

She's ignoring you, you know.

'Afternoon, Billie!
Had my computer shut down for awhile as some nasty storms passed through.
I love your Freeper page!
The sketches of Dubya hugging his Dad, and President Reagan show a wonderful talent!
I'm still prodding along with photohop. My Dad and my daughter seemed to have latched on to the artistic gene that some how passed me by!
But I'm enjoying the journey!

Good to see you Gail! Has everything gotten back to normal since the freak storm hit and did so much damage in your area?

Hope you are getting everything straightened out. I admire your patience, I am afraid I would just start whipping everything out if I ran into a difficulty of that magnitude.

Maybe I had some premonition of an impending problem since I bought some spyware washer software at lunch today.

You've done good with the first lesson Meekie, when I get the time I'm going to try to catch up with you.
Can't wait to see what else she can teach us.

Good afternoon, jw. What wonderful photographs you took, especially the second one - it doesn't even look like it belongs inside that cemetery. The mountains in the background make a very beautiful setting in which to spend one's final resting place on this earth.

Thanks. I've not taken much time to do much of the 'fancy' stuff like adding text, etc. as I would have liked. I did a couple is about all. But at least I know when I get to it, I will know HOW to, and have the tutor session saved on my Word as a file. The first time I walked through the session to work with the software, I highlighted selected pieces of Billie's text - the 'meat' or basic instructional steps she gave. That way, when I go back through it, it's EASY to find 'the good stuff' ...

If you'd like me to send that Word file to you, send me your e-mail addy on my freep mail and I'll send it ...

I'll send you my e-mail addy. It would simplify things to have the important parts highlighted. That was a good idea!

Hello again, dear Sistah. You wrote a most excellent, sensitive, and compassionate Opening Post for LBGA's Prayer Thread. I know it wasn't easy. Bless your tender heart.

Oh, my gosh, Cal! That is terrible! I wonder how many people clicked on that same link you did. Hope you get your system up and running again soon and can recover everything you need!
