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!

To Our FReeper FRiends:   We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. We thought we'd kick back on the weekends and simply review the features of the week. If you missed seeing them and want to say hello there now, feel free to click on the link to that particular thread. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today and tomorrow, please feel free to do that also. One of us will always be around to see the welcome mat is still out, and maybe even put fresh flowers on the table. ~ Billie

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dansangel; Dutchess; Aquamarine and we will add their name to this list.

Yawwwwwwwwn! Is it morning already? Who's making coffee? Where are the donuts?

[dutchess]

Good morning dear sistah? First?????

[The Mayor]

[Billie]

Yes, you are! But, after all, it's nearly 11 AM in your neck of the woods. :) Doesn't everybody sleep in on Saturday? :)

[Billie]

THERE'S the coffee. :)

[dutchess]

Good morning finest friends. Hope you all have a blessed weekend.

Lori...again wonderful job with yesterday's thread. Sorry I didn't make it back...we had unexpected company.

Have tons of errands to run. Brother and family are coming from Michigan...my "baby" nephew gets dropped off at Ohio State tomorrow. Never dreamed we would have a "buckeye" in the family. (and both his parents are University of Michigan grads!...guess our family now passes the diversity test :o)...)

[MeekOneGOP]

Mornin', everybody ! Happy Saturday !!

Yawwwwwwwwn! Is it morning already? Who's making coffee? Where are the donuts?

[MeekOneGOP]

Whoops ! I guess that's refills, then !! :O)

[dutchess]

I've been up for hours...really...well not really..never mind!

Mayor...you're coffee is just in time! Have a great weekend!

[dutchess]

I'm ready for a refill meekie. Have a great weekend.

See you all later!

[The Mayor]

Mayor...you're coffee is just in time! Have a great weekend!

I try to get my coffee here everyday, of course there are some days I have to leave earlier than I'd like.

I'm gonna try to find some donuts..

[MeekOneGOP]

... First?????

Who's On First?

Here’s a different version of the same Abbott and Costello bit.
It's the version that was first performed on their television show in 1952. It's a redux of the original scene from "The Naughty Nineties". Of all the versions out there, I've found this one [above] to be the "snappiest". Enjoy.

[The Mayor]

Where are the donuts?

[MeekOneGOP]

Thanks ! ...

[ST.LOUIE1]

Where are the donuts?

You're the hostess....that's your responsibility. : )

Hi, Meekie - I'll have a cup of yours, too. :)
