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.

Rintense ---- Thanks for the Daily Dose! And thanks for all you do for FreeRepublic.

[rintense]

WOW! I am so honored and touched. Thank you, daisyscarlett and Billie. And a big thanks to all the freepers who post and lurk at the Daily Dose. All of you have made the Day in the Life threads what they are! Freepers are the best.

[Carolina]

Would you like to join us for a cuppa?

I need a gallon of it. My head's all fuzzy this morning.

[Billie]

Hi, BETTY! Thanks for coming - maybe Rintense will post some of her top pics here today, too!

I'm glad you like the little smiley/kissy! Had a bigger one all black with an animated wink and thought why not one that smooches! Use it as much as you like!

Please don't stop pinging me to the Guild - it's so much easier to find when I see it in Self Search, ok?!

Thanks - hope you come back - we'll have different surprises every day.

[daisyscarlett]

Thanks, bud.....Please keep us updated on the Teacup Baby, especially if there is "good news" today. Unfortunately, so far, the baby is still missing.

TEACUP SUPPORT THREAD - BRING BABY BILLY HOME

[Billie]

Good morning - great to see you here - hope you have a great, sunshiney day! After more coffee, of course!

[daisyscarlett]

'Morning Billie. Thanks for stopping by on your "day off"...hee hee

[mtngrl@vrwc]

Thanks for the ping, JustAmy!

Rintense, I love the Dose; I love seeing the daily pictures that help us connect with President Bush and keep up with what is going on in his daily life.

I have made friends throught the Dose that I hope and pray will be friends forever. You have made this possible by bringing us together to talk about the pictures you posted, daily events, and just to chat with each other. Thanks!

[Billie]

'Morning, JL!

[Billie]

Hi, ru4! Love the sunglasses! So nice to see you every day.

[Billie]

No music this morning?! We need music.

[JustAmy]

Hey .... did you lose your signatures?

[Lee'sGhost]

"After more coffee, "

Amen.

[Diver Dave]

Mornin' Daisy.

Excellent choice this morning for featured FReeper. Ya dun good! :^)

Congratulations, rintense! It's your day in the spotlight. Thanks for "the dose."

[daisyscarlett]

I, like BWB, do not post often enough on the Dose....Those Bush Babes are just too quick with the quips and information for me to get in there...ha ha...

But I do love the thread. It performs a valuable service. .It continues to amaze me that there are so many great pictures of W every day, yet most of us never see them in our local rags....

[JustAmy]

I pledge allegiance to the flag of The United States of American and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All!!

[mtngrl@vrwc]

Oh man! I just forget to use them!

Now which one to use? Hm....

[JustAmy]

I don't want Billie and ST.Louie to think I stole them! LOL

[ohioWfan]

AH, yes! Many of us need the Dose as much as we need oxygen!!

It's our lifeline, rintense!!!

THANK YOU, RWP!!!!!

[daisyscarlett]

I am happy to see you Dave and glad you like that we featured RINTENSE.

I have a question about the Pledge ruling...Does that apply to private schools also?
