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!

Thank you to all our Hall of Famers and to all of you who have become part of our Finest Family ... as regular contributors and supporters who drop in every day to say hello.  We wouldn't be here without you. : )

It's been FOUR AND A HALF YEARS and we're still having fun. Hope you are. As promised, for your information and perusal, here is our 18th "Hall of Fame" - a list of all our threads from the very beginning ... from Monday, June 24, 2002, through the New Year's Weekend, January 01, 2007.

THIS WEEK'S THREADS 01-08-07 Military Monday

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest The guy's good, folks!

[GodBlessUSA]

Sounds like a wonderful day Luv! I had a better day today. My mother came over and spent the day. :)
Hugs!

[luvie]

You're welcome. It was one of my favorites!

[luvie]

Oh, I am glad she could come over. How does she like your new "digs"?

[Billie]

I love GeeBee's bird and nature threads - thank you for posting one of the pics from one of the threads!

[GodBlessUSA]

She likes it a lot. I'm not as close but still close enough. I still haven't gotten much done here yet. :)

[Billie]

Thank you, sistahs, for the "first Lady" compliments. You know, I was curious to see how the thread looked after all our blockquotes in the old threads were gone, but fortunately, it didn't look really bad with centered paragraphs.

My first attempt at doing just a hint of color in photos I converted to black and white. :)

[GodBlessUSA]

Thanks Billie :)
Now, I remember an idea I had for another thread. LOL

[GodBlessUSA]

I try very hard to keep images I post on threads separate so I do not delete them. It never fails though, I look back on a thread and there are photos missing.

[luvie]

You're welcome. It was such a sweet thread and that bird was so pretty in shades of gray.

[luvie]

Well, you have plenty of time to get stuff done, so just take your time so you don't get overwhelmed.

Moms never think their kids are close enough! LOL!

[GodBlessUSA]

I sure love this thread. Incredible Billie!

Reagan/Bush/Cheney picturesDrawings by Billie.

[GodBlessUSA]

That's true about Moms. I have a feeling I'll feel the same. :)

Someday, I'll get it done, I hope ;)

[Billie]

Thanks so much for making the usual, slow Hall of Fame thread a little more interesting today by going back through some of the old ones and 'reviving' a pic or two!

Dinner time here - will get back sometime this evening!

Thank you again!

[luvie]

I enjoyed reading the oldies but goodies! It's fun to remember what was happening and to see names we don't see anymore.

See ya later. Thanks for all your hard work!

[Temple Owl]

Good evening to my favorite Texan along with wishes for a completely happy 2007 to you. Let's keep working to make my second favorite Texan successful in all his endeavors.

[jaycee]

What a precious picture~~~~

[jaycee]

Yes, it would be good to go back for a little while when we didn't know the cares of this world!!!

[jaycee]

Beautiful, Billie. And I am here because of you and you and he and she. It makes my life so beautiful. Thanks to all!

[jaycee]

Beautiful words once again.........thank you!

[jaycee]

Now Billie, I knew you were talented but your drawings are absolutely awesome! They are as good as any I have ever seen. I bet our President would enjoy those of he and Laura and the darling girls. They are just great and I am certainly impressed by them. I learn something new here every day.
