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; starting today our weekends will begin on Friday. 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. : )

A few days ago I said I would try to take some photos of the area where I lived and as promised here they are which as you can see the area is not the countryside but an interesting mix with shops, houses, industrial estates even a designer outlet and supermarket yet sandwiched in the middle are a couple of fields which at present have sheep in them no lambs but sheep.
Field of sheep with industrial unit behind them
Designer outlet on the left, ASDA on the right (Walmart) and the field shown is the next one from the sheep in photo 1
Two close up photos of the sheep where you can see even more clearly the industial units behind them
A close up of the sheep but this time I have managed to almost avoid the industrial buildings
Our local pub
Our local Chemist which is next the road that leads to the field with the sheep. Note sign "Beaver Industrial Estate" that is the Industrial Estate where I work and is appoximately 4 - 5 minutes walk from home allowing for crossing the road

My Dearest LadyX....I was merely taking a vacation from this reality for a while. The critters are loving spring ( which is in full force in this neck of the woods ). I would say that I'm behaving, but you wouldn't believe me for a minute...properly so, too.
I shall try to come around on a more regular basis to avoid your wrath for my being AWOL...:-)

Just overjoyed to have your delightful self back among us..:))
At The Finest, everyone is phamily in a wonderful way...
That is not to say I don't truly miss the 'gentle' jousting of the denizens of Freeper Island,
engaged in 'polite discourse' in our SOPAC Saloon - LOL.
Oh, what wondrous times we had there in 1998-1999!!

Hi, Dolly,
Thanks for the ping and sorry about the bad weather you are having. Naw, I am not gonna rub it in about the weather we're having down here in Texas. ;-)
You will enjoy the Windows XP; it's pretty cool.
Say, I checked out your homepage fully just now, because I finally got DSL and am no longer afraid of pictures downloading. It's a very nice homepage you built. (You are one energetic woman, aren't ya?)
Take care and keep warm.

I have lived in Houston, 3 places in Florida & in North Carolia.. I swore I would never return to Ohio (where I grew up). that is what I get for swearing huh? Caregiving invalid mom brought me back. Docs said she would live 6 months.. that was in 1992. I am a pretty good caregiver, huh? (well at least better than the recent widower Schiavo.
I do love XP. Have it on two computers.. but not the two I go online with.. right now my hold up is that the one sorry comptuer only has a 2 gig hard drive and not big enough for xp, so I need to add a hard drive. I have a 160 gig to put in but need a little guidance on the difficult stuff from my brother, who is a geek in Oklahoma (where is is also better weather than Ohio)

(Where is Spring?)
To: snugs
Thank you so much for posting those photos of your neighborhood. I love seeing where people live, it makes them seem more real to me, if that makes any sense. LOL.
Looks like those sweet sheep are being encroached upon from all sides. Gosh, Walmart is EVERYWHERE! LOL.
I've never been to England, so it is interesting to see a real neighborhood pub. The only pubs I have seen are in Victoria, BC., one of my favorite cities to visit. :-)
It's passed my bedtime, snugs, so I will be saying good night. TTYL
To: beowolf
What better day to stop in and say hello to you, and Billie, long time no see!! April Fool's Day is my favorite...:-)) Well, hello beowolf! So happy to see you here. Billie and Lady Maggie speak highly of the legendary beowolf. I am glad to finally meet you!
I hope you will drop by more often. :-)
To: Chong
Just stopping in to say hello to Chong. I posted this thread on Friday and have had to neglect it due to distractions on the home-front. But, I want you to know that it is always a pleasure to see you here.
And now it is bedtime, so I am off. Hope to see you later.
