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.

Nick Danger, That Is!

Nick Danger

Nick's FReeper birthday is September 20, 1998,  and you'll see the Virginia flag on his profile page.   He is the first FReeper I remember seeing with a signature logo,  and you could always spot one of his posts by that little guy in the trench coat.  :)  I love that little trench coat guy!

Yesterday we talked about LBGA and the work she put into the FReeper Photo Album.  Today I want to thank Nick Danger for giving the Photo Album a home.  He graciously offered his own site as a host for the album. In addition to hosting the FReeper Photo Album,  Nick is the Site Administrator for the FRee Republic Network,  an organization separate from, but born out of the FRee Republic Forum.  For further information on FRee Republic Network, please visit:

One last thing I want to mention about Nick is that he is publisher of The Daily Spin (All the news that fits our agenda), which you need to see! He occasionally posts them on the forum.   :) Here are a couple of examples, straight from the Degenerate Propaganda Media, Inc.:

Thanks for being one of FR's Finest, Nick Danger!

How do you know we are nude. I mean we could have our bathing suits on in that tub...lol....

A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. The audience would be different each week, so the magician allowed himself to do the same tricks over and over again. There was only one problem: The captain's parrot saw the shows every week and began to understand how the magician did every trick.

Once he understood that, he started shouting in the middle of the show: Look, it's not the same hat. Look, he is hiding the flowers under the table! Hey, why are all the cards the Ace of Spades?

The magician was furious but couldn't do anything, it was the captain's parrot after all. One day the ship had an accident and sunk. The magician found himself on a piece of wood, in the middle of the ocean, with the parrot of course. They stared at each other with hate, but did not utter a word. This went on for a day, and another, and another.

After a week the parrot finally said: OK. I give up. What'd you do with the boat?

[ru4liberty]

Y'all are the huggin'est group of people I've ever seen!

[daisyscarlett]

Yep, that graphic is pretty cute....I love it.

Have fun at the fair and bring us back some ribeye sandwiches with fries....

[daisyscarlett]

Oh no dinner is for all. You see, Lodwick was relying on me to provide lunch today and I let him down which is why I posted that "supper" to him. We should eat well tonight what with Lodwick's plate and Dutchess might show up with some ribeye sandwiches from the fair.

Who, too many kitties lately, not enough puppies..

[ru4liberty]

Applause, applause! Let's hear it for more canine representation!

[daisyscarlett]

[daisyscarlett]

Yes indeedy, it is my "turn" tomorrow and you will get a well deserved day off. As you know, my "column" is already in the can. Getting it out of the can and posted will be the challenge. lol.....Thanks for three days in a row of great profiles......

[whoever]

They don't get sweeter than that, daisy.

Even though I raised German Shepherds, I do love Goldens, especially those precious puppies.

[Saundra Duffy]

A most dangerous PING! (I'm scared.)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Your Irish is showing. : )

Aye....I was feeling a wee bit GREEN today!

As long as it wasn't something you ate. : )

[ru4liberty]

Poodlz rule!

[ST.LOUIE1]

..You might have competition. : ) ..

You doubt that I can stand up to it???????

No!!!!! Of all people, not you, 'who'! : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

I luv it Louie....thank you so very much...

: ) You're very welcome.

Woweeeee! What a hug! Almost took my breath away! : )

(And this is an unsolicited hug, too.
Not like the staged one the other day meant to make some of your gals jealous...lol)

LOL!!!!

Hey....staged? : (

[ST.LOUIE1]

Good one! : )

Hi, Justy. : )

[dutchess]

daisyscarlett, the puppy pic. is the best. Our pups are our "kids" (the first one which we got when Mr. D. and I first married was named "dutchess" thus my screen name. She's long gone and we now have Codee, a 15 year old sheltie (who probably is on her last leg ;^( and Gizmo, now 4 who showed up on our doorstep 3 years ago and has been the joy of our life (he looks like a "GIZMO") We also have Fred the Cat, another stray, a 12 year old one eyed mutant cat (that's a story in and of itself!)

lodwick, your plate looks just like the "fair food" we've been indulging in. Diet starts next week!

[lodwick]

No pics, just the thought that all these creatures of God are being killed because of stupid, inconsiderate people makes me very sad.

Many adjectives have not been posted on this one folks. As you would do unto the least of these my brethren, so would have you done unto me. I believe that this includes the critters. JL

[dutchess]

"Hi, Fred! Whatcha got Ethel up to today?"

I was mainly a lurker in 98 and developed mental images of what fellow freepers looked like. Figured Fred named himself for the I Love Lucy character and expected him to look...say...a little like BadJoe. At the MFJ reception the first night here is this young goodlooking guy with a Fred Mertz nametag. I was like dumbfounded and blurted out..."that can't be you you're suppost to be old and somewhat balding (Sorry BadJoe)".

I don't know who was more embarrassed, Mr. D. or me! Kept my mouth shut after that!

[daisyscarlett]

Hope you are taking lots of photos at your local fair. So that you can post them here for us.....and we must see those pets, too.

Billie has an adopted stray doggie too that she talks about from time to time. His name is Roscoe and he is very cute and a good pet. About this time last year, Roscoe got attacked by some wild dogs and Billie shared with us his trip to the vet and her nursing him back to health. He is fine now, though, right Billie?

[Billie]

Such a darling kitten. :)
