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

Hi, Paul - thanks for the link to that thread in case someone has missed it. I think it's awful it has taken so long, but so glad that he is finally being honored for his heroism in Vietnam. It must make his family very proud to receive the medal for him.

[Mama_Bear]

Stop that right now! BOTH your names are signed in blood on our contract, so don't be thinking those thoughts

Okay, boss! It's just that both you and daisy are such a darn hard acts to follow. LOL!!

I am feverishly working on my "spotlight" for tomorrow, I had hoped to have it finished yesterday, but I got way behind. I will have it ready by tonight. :-)

[daisyscarlett]

Don't read anything into my posting....Just because something is "hard" to do does not mean it is not enjoyable....I'm just afraid I will get my "pink" slip if I don't hurry up and learn tables, tables within tables, frames, etc.

I do have to leave for a bit though. I have an appointment this a.m., went to start my car and it did not start. It is not the battery, the radio etc come on....And, of course, this is the day that Mr. Daisy is not around....Luckily, I have a AAA card...

So, I will see you when I see you.....Might have to miss afternoon tea today...

[ST.LOUIE1]

This job is a little tougher than I thought it was going to be. LOL!
I think I am going to have to enlist Louie's help to add a little "louie" humor to my featured freeper posts. :-)

Ask away! : )

Hi, cutiebear. : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

Hi, Billie!

Guess the coffee's skanky by now.

Got milk? : )

[dansangel]

Hello to everyone...another "rollicking" day in the workplace! /sarcasm

Just had to break away to wish you all a Happy Tuesday and to send my congratulations to Cool Guy. Way to Go!

{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}

PS...Back to the grind......

[ST.LOUIE1]

Look, guys, what I just found at the top of my profile page!
Q: Why are the home pages ugly in this 'improved' version? A: Because I'm working on the system. It will look better when I am finished.
John, do we dare hope that this means we might be getting our music back too??? Please?? :-) :-)

Dare we? LOL

Hey John......

...note-it's Mama_Bear doing the whining this time. : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

Afternoon, Ms. daisy. : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

Congrats!

Cooool dance! LOL

[Diver Dave]

Just to show some appreciation for all your hard work on FR's Finest Threads:

Keep up the good work.

[Mama_Bear]

Ask away! : )

Thank you! I am going to take you up on that. You are so creative and talented and .... just so darned cute. And, did I mention 'generous', too?;-)

Hi, cutiebear. : )

Hi, my louiefriend.

[Billie]

Well, I see that LouieWolf has arrived and ready to rescue the distressed lady bear :) I'd pout, except that I have so many of his cute gifs, I can't complain. :)

Looking forward to your thread tomorrow, with our without the charming wolf's touches. :)

[lodwick]

Great to get to know you better. Enjoy your day to the fullest with lottsa fine friends here.

Cool job Billie - thanks for the highlight. JL

Back after some things get done here. ;-)

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you, Dave. Beautiful flowers!

And, thank you for visiting us whenever you can. We always appreciate your contributions, especially when you come bearing flowers. ;-)

[Billie]

I just swiped that teatime photo. It's too pretty! Daisy, I don't have any doubts about your 'learning' tables and stuff. To me, tables were the hardest thing of all to do, and I still am nervous every time I hit "preview", just hoping it's going to look like I think I told it to look! LOL

[Diver Dave]

Here ya go, Louie.

[Mama_Bear]

Looking forward to your thread tomorrow, with our without the charming wolf's touches. :)

Thanks, Billie. I am going to have to get out of here now if I am going to get anything done today. I'll see everyone later.

(((((((Hugs)))))))) to all. Have a great day! :-)

[Billie]

Got milk?

Yep! Cookies, too.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Ask away! : )

Thank you! I am going to take you up on that. You are so creative and talented and ....
just so darned cute. And, did I mention 'generous', too?;-)

Uh-oh! Just how much help are you going to ask for? Snorf!

You really don't need any. You're a very talented bear....lady....in your own right.

Hi, cutiebear. : )

Hi, my louiefriend.

Louiefriend? That's all there is?

I kinda expected a *hug*. : )

[Billie]

Hi, dansangel! Glad we can provide a little fun break for you!
