 A Few of FR's Finest.....
......Every Day
FR is a Treasure Trove of talented, compassionate, patriotic, wonderful people who gather every day to discuss the latest news and issues; salute
and support our military and our leaders; tell a few jokes; learn a new
word; write poetry; pray for those in need; and congratulate those who
are deserving. Thank you, Jim Robinson, for giving us the vehicle in which
we can express ourselves.
Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997. I
can remember lurking when there were only a few regulars who posted, and now there are over 60,000 who have registered for posting privileges. 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 November 11, 2001
So many people have written me since my original Veteran's Day Tribute, asking how they, or a loved one, could be included in that tribute. Since I can no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I've been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.
Still that doesn't seem to be enough. I think there's never been a better nor more appropriate time to keep the faces of our own Veterans and Active Military in front of FReepers--every day! That's why I wanted to do yet another Daily Thread .....ABOUT FReepers .....and FOR FReepers. But not only about our Military FReepers; for all FReepers! Wouldn't it be nice to get to know a few of the other FReepers as well? That's why, in addition to seeing FR's Finest Military Personnel every day, I thought it might be fun to feature a different FReeper (or FReepers) each day. If you would like to be pictured, or know someone who would, please FReepmail me and we'll turn the spotlight - on YOU - for the day!
And do let me know if you'd like your picture added to the groups of Veterans/Active Military below. I will keep this page updated, and continue to add them to the comment section of the original Veteran's Day thread as well.

ONE OF FREE REPUBLIC'S FINEST
RINTENSE
(aka Republican Warrior Princess)
Rintense has been posting a Daily Thread - "A Day in the Life of President Bush" - since shortly after the Inauguration last year. This thread enjoyed almost instantaneous success and has affectionately been dubbed "The Dose".
The Dose begins with a summary of the President's Day, followed by a quote of the day and then photos taken of the President that day. Rintense downloads these photos (mostly from Yahoo and the WH Website) and posts them for all of us to see. She also provides comments along the way and replies to posters. The thread is informative, educational, humorous and poignant. It is posted in the early evening and many of us cannot retire for the night till we have had our Daily Dose of W.
If you have not already done so, do check out the Dose link here. If you like what you see, send Rintense a freep mail and she will put you on her ping list.
Take a bow, Rintense. You have created and maintained a valuable and popular thread and you are ONE OF FREE REPUBLIC'S FINEST.

Johnny is definitely way agressive for our taste buds. I would recommend starting off at 1/4 - 1/3 of his recommended dosages rather than having to go out and buy more butter or margarine or whatever you're treating as I did.
He surely has a beautiful view at his dockside location. Picture perfect.
I guess I don't understand the word wrap thingie Billie. If it's a good thing to have, why not just have it without confusing all we mullets?

..Okay. You post the most 'stupid' jokes to be found on the net, 'who'. .. That's better, Saint. I take great pride in my stupid jokes.
DUMB CRIMINALS
QUICK DRAW
"I read about two guys who robbed a CD store. The first guy says, 'Nobody Move!' Well, his partner moved, and he shot him." -
THE NAKED GUY
"This guy decided to rob a convenience store. He put a bag over his head to hide his face, but had gone in nude! The cops just drove around and eventually found a naked guy jogging with a paper sack in his hand filled with the money. (Several citizens had called the cops to complain about the naked jogger, so he wasn't too hard to find.) When the cops asked him to explain why he robbed the store in the nude, he explained that in every news story he'd read or heard about a robbery, someone was always able to describe the criminals clothing!" --
HIS SECOND TO LAST PHONE CALL
"I have a really good one that happened right here in my home town. A man had just robbed a store and ran from the police. It turns out that he climbed up a tree and the cops were looking on the ground below him not knowing he was in the tree. They were about to give up when the guy's cell phone rang and he answered it!" --

Your wish is my command, daisy!
This shot makes it easy for the imagination to soar, does it not?! ;o)
To: daisyscarlett
The dance is on one of the Guild's homepages, and I can't remember whose - let me go peek.
There's a cool Flag Raising link that Timeout and retrokittie have got going at the Guild.

That pledge graphic (with the Billie Touch) is a keeper.
You know, I found that graphic by accident. It came up on my screen when I was searching for something entirely different. But I was so enamored of it, I saved it and was waiting for an appropirate time to use it. So glad I did, I would have never found it again.
To: ohioWfan
Thanks...I am swooning here.....They are such a gorgeous couple..And yes, they make my imagination active lots of times....
To: whoever; daisyscarlett; lawgirl; rintense; JulieRNR21; Diver Dave; Billie; All
How about a couple more to bring back lovely memories of our liberation from debauchery?!
To: lodwick
Thanks. I am heading to the Guild next. Just got back from errands, hit the Teacup Support thread first, then this thread and now time to go to the Guild...after I go bump the BRING BILLY HOME thread again.....
To: daisyscarlett; rintense
And yes, they make my imagination active lots of times.... Yours, mine, all the Dosers, and lots of others, methinks!
To: ohioWfan

Hey, when you
do get back to your zip drive, would you mind sending me a couple of those Habitat shots from last summer......there's one in particular that I'd like to have.....one that the two of us discussed at length at the time. :o)
I can freep you if you want more info about it!
Those were the days, were they not? How much our world has changed since last summer!
To: Mama_Bear; Billie; lodwick
.. I will use either one, it is up to you. :-) ..Any reason you can't use both?? (g)
I enjoy seeing both of them.

Hey Ohio! This one?
To: JulieRNR21; daisyscarlett
Hi, Julie! Yes, daisy did today's and made a great choice, and a great presentation. Tomorrow Mama_Bear will surprise us! Hope you'll be back again! Know it will be wonderful! I, too, think there are many fabulous FReepers here - no rhyme nor reason for the order they may appear either! :)
