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.

Who's the Coolest Guy of All?
Cool Guy, FReeper since May 20, 1999, engagingly funny, entertaining, all-around nice guy....... and hero! On at least one occasion when FR was down and would require several hours driving time for John Robinson to fix the problem, Cool Guy was there on the spot, being 'walked through' step by step by John on what to do to get it running again.
At the FReeper Inauguration Ball in Washington DC last year, Cool Guy grabbed the spotlight at one time with a dance later dubbed the "Cool Guy Shuffle", and when the photos were posted to the forum after everyone returned home, Registered immediately siezed upon that photo! :) This is the result:
Everybody Get Down With Cool Guy's "Clinton's Out of the *&$%#@^ White House" Shuffle
It's YOUR day, Cool Guy....I Hope You Dance!

..You left it with Mama_Bear! Just how much do you think 'I'll' get? : ) ..It was there when you got there. She is busy elsewhere. It just looked good with the remembrance of her in the picture.
Besides, that is just one piece, the rest is in the kitchen waiting for you. I took care of that.

"Do not iron clothes on body." Wish I'd read the label.
Hi, Amy!
To: Billie
Hi, Billie!
I hope you had a great day!
Mine was hot, hot, hot! (100+ degrees)
I'm off to take a cold shower, then I'll put some hot dogs on the grill, pop open a beer and watch the All-Star game!
There's plenty of beer and dogs for everyone!

An elderly gent was invited to his old friends' home for dinner one evening. He was impressed by the way his buddy preceded every request to his wife with endearing terms calling her "Honey, My Love, Darling, Sweetheart, Pumpkin," etc.
The couple had been married almost 70 years, and it seemed they were still very much in love.
While the wife was off in the kitchen, the man leaned over and said to his buddy, "I think it's wonderful that, after all the years you've been married, you still call your wife those loving pet names."
The old man hung his head, "I have to tell you the truth" he said. "I forgot her name about ten years ago."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now I know why Louie has such special names for us.

Good afernoon, Louie!!
Things a True Southern Gentleman Knows;
The difference between a hissie fit and a conniption fit.
Pretty much how many fish make up a mess.
What general direction cattywumpus is.
That "gimme sugar" don't mean pass the sugar.
When somebody's "fixin" to do something, it won't be long.
The difference between Yankee's and damn Yankee's.
How good a cold grape Nehi and cheese crackers are at a country store.
Knows what, "Well I Suwannee !!" means.
Ain't nobody's biscuits like Grandma's biscuits !!
A good dog is worth its weight in gold.
Real gravy don't come from the store.
The War of Northern Aggression was over state rights, not slavery.
When "by and by" is.
How to handle their "pot likker".
The difference between "pert' near" and "a right far piece".
The differences between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and trailer trash.
Never to go snipe hunting twice.
At one point learned what happens when you swallow tobacco juice.
Never to assume that the other car with the flashing turn signal is actually going to make a turn.
You may wear long sleeves, but you should always roll 'em up past the elbows.
You should never loan your tools, pick-up, or gun to nobody.
A belt serves a greater purpose than holding Daddy's pants up.
Rocking chairs and swings are guaranteed stress relievers.
Rocking chairs and swings with an old person in them are history lessons.
GOD BLESSED DIXIE !!!!

Now I know why Louie has such special names for us. But Louie's not 'elderly'.
My special names are for *special* people.
And if you keep making fun of Louie....
....you just might lose 'your' *special* name. LOL

*Optomist's Hunting Dog* Friends -- one an optimist and the other a pessimist -- could never quite agree on any topic of discussion.
One day the optimist decided he had found a good way to pull his friend out of his continually pessimistic way of thinking. The optimist owned a huntin' dog that could walk on water.
His plan? Take the pessimist and the dog out duck hunting in a boat.
They got out into the middle of the lake, and the optimist shot down a duck. The dog immediately walked out across the water, retrieved the duck, and walked back to the boat.
The optimist looked at his pessimistic friend and said, "What do you think about that?"
The pessimist replied, "That dog can't swim, can he?"

Good one Amy! Thank you.
A young man excitedly tells his mother he's fallen in love and is
going to get married. He says, "Just for fun, Mom, I'm going to
bring over two other female friends in addition to my fiancée,
and you have to try and guess which one I'm going to marry."
The next day, he brings 3 beautiful women into the house and sits
them down on the couch and they chat for a while. He then says,
"Okay, Mom. Guess which one I'm going to marry."
She immediately replies, "The red-head in the middle."
"That's amazing! You're right, how did you know?"
His mother folds her arms across her chest and says, "I didn't
like her."
