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.

Hey, Billie.......that young man in the upper left corner of the bottom picture is kinda cute! Does he have a name? LOL!!

[Carolina]

Good morning!

Coffee makes the world go round.

[mtngrl@vrwc]

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

Nope! The cat is still recovering from yesterday's surgery though. She'll be out and about soon I hope! LOL!

[daisyscarlett]

Thanks for the Pledge post and accompanying graphic.....

[rintense]

Freeper chicks RULE!

[daisyscarlett]

Love those glasses...You must be a Californian?

[daisyscarlett]

Your work as an occasional fill-in for Rintense when she is away (which is not very often-she is incredibly adept at working her schedule so that if she is around, she posts her thread daily and often on weekends, too, if there are Photos available) has not gone unnoticed. Thank you...

And do start using those cute logos....Is there anything left of that poor kitty cat after all her surgeries yesterday?

[daisyscarlett]

Yeah that young man to whom you refer is named Eric. He is a fine young man from Ohio, comes from a great family, recently graduated from High School with honors and has put off college for a semester or two so that he can be trained for the military. He is strongly considering the military for a career - and the military would be pleased to have him.....Anything else you wanna know about Eric?

Oh but wait, you already know all that...cauz you are his proud Mama....Congratulations, Ohio, you have a fine son....And stop by often to bring us up to date on his life....

[ST.LOUIE1]

Good morning, Ms. daisy!

A sparkling post! : )

[Billie]

I don't want Billie and ST.Louie to think I stole them! LOL LOL! Never! You'd have to change your name!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Enjoy your day, rintense, you deserve the honor. : )

[Billie]

What a beautiful vignette of the flag, daisy! (I may have to save that!)

[mtngrl@vrwc]

Is there anything left of that poor kitty cat after all her surgeries yesterday?

Well, she's not feeling very good today, but she did agree to let you all have a quick look at her. LOL!

[lodwick]

Morning Billie - don't wear your smoocher out.

[daisyscarlett]

Here are the links to the first three threads that you did this week...Should have been at the top of the thread (you just can't get good help these days, can ya?)

INAUGURAL THREAD OF 6/24/02

THREAD OF 6/25/02

THREAD OF 6/26/02

[Billie]

Hey, Billie.......that young man in the upper left corner of the bottom picture is kinda cute! Does he have a name? LOL!!

Hi, ohio - just now seeing it? :) I think it's something like Edward, or Enrique, or Emeril, or maybe...

Eric!

[lodwick]

Good job with the pledge - this could be done daily,
in my humble opinion. Thank you.

[daisyscarlett]

Morning, Louie.....Glad you got your ping....

You know, Louie, I never asked you about your dog's surgery...Was afraid to cauz did not want to hear bad news. But you mentioned it yesterday, about having bandages removed, so it must have been a success. Did you post an update that I missed? Would love to hear more about it....

[lodwick]

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning again, Daisy. You've done a great job this morning.

Rintense, congratulations on being in FR's Finest Spotlight. :-)
