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!

THIS WEEK'S THREADS

*Lin* wanted to live there? : )
Seems like old times. :)
You're a lucky guy. : )

HUH? I'm a lucky GUY?!

Oooops! It was meant for Diver. LOL

Sorry. : (

[Billie]

The coffee was PERFECT, just perfect! The only thing that would have made it better would have been you making it instead of me!

[ST.LOUIE1]

If Mama_Bear was a 'real' bear, and you were a 'real' wolf,
I'd sure have some wierd friendships!

What's wrong with being friends with animals? : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

..If Mama_Bear was a 'real' bear, and you were a 'real' wolf.. Are you telling me that they AREN'T?????

Pay no attention to Billie. : )

"Aren't you Moses?"

George W. Bush, in an airport lobby, noticed a man in a long flowing white robe with a long flowing white beard and flowing white hair. The man had a staff in one hand and some stone tablets under the other arm.

George W. approached the man and inquired, "Aren't you Moses?"

The man ignored George W. and stared at the ceiling.

George W. positioned himself more directly in the man's view and asked again, "Aren't you Moses?"

The man continued to peruse the ceiling.

George W. tugged at the man's sleeve and asked once again, "Aren't you Moses?"

The man finally responded in an irritated voice, "Yes I am".

George W. asked him why he was so uppity and the man replied, "The last time I spoke to a Bush I had to spend forty years in the desert".

[ST.LOUIE1]

Good one!!

[JustAmy]

LOL

[The Mayor]

Say, Mayor, could you put a little something in it to calm Amy and 'who' down? They're getting a little too frisky tonight. And they've been ganging up on me. : (

This has Baileys Irish Cream in it, they should have a couple.

[JustAmy]

"A 'granny' type? "

Not a blue-haired old lady type; I prefer being a hip senior citizen for my senior moments.

Do I go back to the wolf-house for complicating things?

[The Mayor]

The only thing that would have made it better would have been you making it instead of me!

Don't tell anyone but I stick my finger in it, that makes it just a little sweeter. ; )

[whoever]

I think I should stay with this:

[hole_n_one]

++

Of course that's a chili dog.....why else would he be wearing a sweater?

[whoever]

...ROTFL

[JustAmy]

This has Baileys Irish Cream in it, they should have a couple.

Thanks, Mayor. That should do it. I'll take mine by the freezer tonight instead of by the fireplace .

[Diver Dave]

Howdy lj. That's some beautiful country up there in Humboldt. Driving I-5 may make for a faster trip, but 101 is the only way to go IMHO. The ocean, the mountains, the redwoods, it well worth the extra time. Sometime I'll have to make that trip as a passenger instead of driver.

Speaking of heat, my thermometer on the patio is reading 106 - and it's not broken. Might cool down to 85 by midnight.

Glad you stopped by for coffee and doughnuts this morning.

[Billie]

Well, I can vouch for MB not being a real bear - however, you may be right about the wolf - I think he might actually be one. :)

[Billie]

Oooops! It was meant for Diver. LOL

Thought so. :)

[Billie]

Pay no attention to Billie. : )

Please try not to impose your bad habits on others. :)

[JustAmy]

Don't remind him; it took me all afternoon to get out of the wolf-house.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Say, Mayor, could you put a little something in it to calm Amy and 'who' down? They're getting a little too frisky tonight. And they've been ganging up on me. : (

Thank you!!!!

Hopefully, more than a couple.

I'd really like to see those two pie-eyed. LOL
