A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day 07-16-02

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.

Summertime!



Summer

If it's orange blossoms,  it's Florida,  and if it's Florida,  it's summertime,  and if it's summertime,  it's summer,  one of FR's Finest since June 13, 2000.

One look at summer's profile page,  and you know she is a person committed to keeping conservatives in office in Florida,  working tirelessly and endlessly,  writing numerous articles to educate the public about the Republican Governor,  Jeb Bush,   and to see that he is reelected.  She has written over a dozen different "The Jeb Bush Nobody Knows" threads for FR;  those links are on her profile page.   Do check them out if you're not familiar with them.

Summer is a Florida certified teacher,  and one of her favorite web pages for kids is this one:   Florida Office of the Governor Kid's Page It's brimming with both photos and information for kids,  parents,   and teachers everywhere!

This is not meant to embarrass summer,  but I've learned recently she has a Fan Club, and there is a Yahoo Web Site dedicated to her writing!  The President of that Fan Club
is a FReeper named Clemenza.

Way to go, summer! Thanks for all you do!

Came across this poem which expresses exactly how I feel about this 'friendly' thread:

A friend can be like a Teddy Bear
to hug and hold when the world
has given you all you can bare.

A hug of friendship
is an incredible feeling
which can mean a lot more
if it's given with meaning.

When the world isn't being all that nice..
and you feel like nobody could ever care..
then they'll be right here to hug and hold..
and forever be your teddy bear..

There's this thing
I like to call friendship pride
this simply means never
leaving your friends side.

Sharing your thoughts,
ideas, and goals..
while getting deep into their
hearts and souls..

Friends never make
you feel insecure
they always support
and make you feel right and pure.

Frienship is not a game
if it is, it's a game of chance,
that many times
may lead to romance..

When it's raining outside
and there's a storm and it's cold
it's always nice to have a warm
teddy bear to hold

Friends always think about each other,
sometimes maybe even twentyfour/seven,
then sometimes you encounter those
friends you think were sent from heaven.

so the next time you are feeling
like you need someone to hold
come to a true friend
with a heart of Gold.

You're so clever today - course it's pretty easy with a screen name like summer!

Still, great job!

It's a most beautiful poem, Julie.

And very descriptive of this thread.

After all, we are just a bunch of friendly *Teddies* here. : )

Thanks. I had some appointments yesterday which prevented my usual attendance at this super kaffee-klatch. And how I did miss it....!

Yes, daisy, I am afraid I did fail in Skinny's orders. I cooked here and I am sure he would not want that if his preference is a Big Mac sans pickles. How could anyone eat one without pickles? That man is strange, I tell you.

(You really think he is afraid?????)

Why - did you want to dance? :)

Well, since you ask....YES! : )
Dancing with 'you' would be a dream come true. : )

Uh-huh - didn't I just see you say something similar to someone else not long ago?! :)

All Florida freepers are invited to Boca Raton this coming Sunday for our long-awaited meeting and get-together. Details on Seeking the Truth's current thread.

I'm driving over from the central gulf coast and hope to see y'all there!

Hi, Clemenza - I'm glad you're here - am just catching up since before lunch, and don't know if summer's been here yet. She did acknowledge the ping this morning (on yesterday's thread which linked to this one). :)

Afternoon, Mr. SAINT.

So far, it would appear that you are staying out of deep yogurt. What happened?

Sure you are feeling ok?

Hmmm, I'm sorry you had trouble uploading - it seems so much easier than uploading to AOL, for instance. Hopefully, you'll get there tonight. :)

Hi, Dave! You're absolutely right! Hard-pressed NOT to find a "Finest" FReeper!
