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!

Two weeks ago I posted "The Last Days of Summer", featuring the Finest Guys, which of course prompted the Finest Girls to ask, "When are you going to feature us?"

Well, today's the day, Girls. And oh, so Pretty in Pink everyone is!
      ~ Billie   

Gentlemen, start your engines! Not just another pretty face, these are all the girls you've loved before.....the little redhaired girl with green eyes and a dimple in her chin; the perky blonde whose ponytail bounced when she walked; that little brunette with the turned-up nose and laughing eyes....they're all here and more. Which ones made your little-boy hearts do flipflops?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is there a little girl in the whole world who doesn't have a fascination for kittens, pretty birds, and......teddy bears!

And maybe it's a Texas thang, but show me a little girl who's never dreamed of being a cowgirl at least once in her life. Something about those cowboy boots and that hat! :)

The seasons, they are a'changing. Leaves are turning bright orange, gold, red......but whatever the season, the Finest FRiends are constant.

This group of Ohio/West Virginia FReepers are about to have their second reunion, getting together for lunch and a whole bunch of hugs next month. Stay tuned for pictures. :)

Finally, did someone say we should have a Tea Party? I say, "Let's!" Put on your Finest outfit, don your favorite chapeau, and come join the party already in progress.

Tea Party Etiquette

• Remember to say, "Please" and "No thank you."
• Place your napkin on your lap.
• Keep your lips closed when you are eating.
• Take one of each foods you are offered.
• Place your used teaspoon on the saucer under your teacup.
• Say your goodbyes and thank yous when you leave the party.

Have a Wonderful Weekend!

IT'S ALL IN THE KNOWING

A minister, a missionary, and an old lady arrived at the gate of heaven. To their surprise they did not find Peter there, but another person. Though the person was different, the question was one all had anticipated and were eager to answer, "Why should I allow you to enter heaven?"

The minister replied, "Well, I was in the ministry more than forty years, I planted churches, evangelized and wrote a number of books and pamphlets." The person then asked, "But do you know Jesus? Somewhat irritated the minister answered, "Would I have done all these things if I had not known Him?" The missionary was then asked, "Why should I allow you to enter heaven?"

The missionary sighed, "For years I worked among a Stone Age tribe. Through my ministry the whole tribe was converted. I taught the people to read, did translation work, treated their sick."

"But do you know Jesus?"

"Could anyone have achieved this without knowing Him?" the missionary replied adamantly. Finally, the same question was posed to the lady: "Why should I allow you to enter heaven?" Her achievements were not that impressive. She went to church, read her Bible, prayed, and helped in her own little way wherever she could.

"But do you know Jesus?" the gatekeeper at last enquired. Suddenly a radiant smile flashed across her face, "Yes, of course, Lord! I recognized You right away!

Here, I think you need your cup filled.

[FreeTheHostages]

LOL, you have no idea how dangerous it is to invade a room full of little girls, do you?

Calpernia, should I tie his shoelaces together or do you want to?

[FreeTheHostages]

That link doesn't work. I think you have to have a logon native to HP to see that link.

[The Thin Man]

Calpernia, should I tie his shoelaces together or do you want to?

Tying shoelaces together..........that is so childish.

I stopped doing that last year.

Can't keep the buttons on my shirt. Her Mom tells us she's taken to talking to her as yet unborn sister through her Mom's tummy.
