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!

Welcome to TGIF at the Finest!   We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. From the beginning, we've been kicking back on Saturdays and Sundays and simply reviewing the features of the week; our weekend threads now start on Friday and continue through Sunday. If you missed seeing any of this week's threads and want to say hello there now, just click on the link for that particular day. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today through Sunday, please feel free to do that also. One of us will try to be around to see the welcome mat is still out, put the coffee pot on, and maybe even bring fresh flowers for the table. : )

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

Happy Birthday LadyX. Allyson was two minutes away from being born on your birthday. :) She turned 13 yesterday at 11:58 last night. I hope you have a wonderful day with your friend and family. May you be treated like the queen of hearts you truly are. We all love you.

[JustAmy]

A Very Happy Birthday, Lady.
I appreciated JustFrank for alerting me to your Birthday party!
I would have hated to miss this party!!

[FreeTheHostages]

You ladies are wonderful. I haven't been around much because my home laptop was corrupted by a mean Trojan. During that time, I would pop in from work when I could. Seems like I can't get caught up here since I went to New Orleans last month.

My laptop is now up and running and I can now visit in the evenings.

Hope you all have a fantastic Friday. Don't forget to pray for President Bush.

[LadyX]

OMIGOSH - what a wonderful, wonderful surprise!!

Of all days, I had taken the luxury of going to bed after midnight and slept until nine - fed my very demanding kitty boy - dawdled over coffee and cereal, and then turned on the computer.

Read mail and weeded spam, and finally worked my way to The Finest - -

Rus, I really broke up seeing the Daily Bread - you forgot to issue to me a personal "Wake-Up Call" !!
lol

Billie, it goes without saying how much we all appreciate your having created this atmosphere where we can gather with such ease, and share life as friends.
It is a blessing to so many of us, and we love you dearly.

[Texagirl4W]

Happy birthday, LadyX. I can't do the pretty graphics as these other wonderful ladies, but I mean it as sincerely as they do. Have a great day.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Good morning, sweetheart! Enjoy *your* day.

Just lean back and let our love for you shine through. : )

[Donaeus]

Good morning everybody!! :) I didn't know today was going to be super special with two birthdays--we're having birthday dinner with my niece who turned 12 on April 24. And now it's Maggie's real birthday. :) Glad I could come by for some well wishes. Let me know if pyrotechnics, I mean candles, get out of hand. I'll send over my cousin the firefighter, Heheheheh. (((((((((hugs)))))))))

Have fun ya'll, I'll be back later. :)

[LadyX]

One of the most precious of gifts in this life is a Sistah like you, Nan.
We are so blessed to have His instrument called the Internet that brought our lives together, our circles overlapping numerous times!

To have met you and Jack last July was one of the highlights of my life, cementing what we already *knew* - - that although we spent years apart, we truly are Sisters.

Thank you for enriching my life so greatly as we share His love - -

[LadyX]

Be still my heart!!
My beloved JustFrank is free for today!!

Thank you so much for springing him, Amy, and I promise not to create a new petition for us to promote in the absence of a certain oil guy..:))

We were going like gangbusters until a 'certain day' in September of 2001 - - -

[Billie]

Yippeeeeee! She's here - you can blow out the candles now, Birthday Girl, and we'll cut the cake! (This one, anyway - am sure there will be another this afternoon when Nan gets here!)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Funny! LOL

Morning, Donny. : )

[Billie]

Sigh! That is an absolutely gorgeous birthday card, *woofie toofums*!

You're very special to all of us, Maggie. Enjoy this day as much as we enjoy you!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Looks like wolfie's kind of cake. Y'all better be quick! : )

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Happy Birthday LadyX...many happy returns!
