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.

Will 'da REAL Pharmer Please Stand?

Phil V.

Phil  (da'pharmer)  hails from California,  and is one of the very first names I remember on the forum,  long before JimRob implemented the registration process.  It must have been sometime in the fall of 1997 that we were required to register in order to post at the forum,  because Phil is Freeper Member #119;  his anniversary date is 11- 30-97.

"Never Forget That Bill Clinton's Legacy Was found at the Checkout Counter."

: )

That quote is all you will find on his profile page,  except for the California flag.  Phil may be most well known during the clinton years for his cyber antics as Socks C.  (underthebed@whitehouse.com),  or for his weekend "Trash,  Trash,  and More Trash" threads - he kept us updated on all the latest headline stories of the National Enquirer,  complete with garish-colored backgrounds and those wonderfully tasteful photos!  : )

Phil,  though happily married for many years   (I hope I'm not ruining your reputation!),  also for the longest time carried on a funny cyber thing for DEB  (we ALWAYS colored her name fucshia!  It wouldn't be  DEB without the color!),  which was hilarious to keep up with!  I'm not quite sure if they're still together or not,  but they did have fun exchanging quips and barbs.  One very,  very funny guy,  Phil V. does occasionally show a more somber side.   Fortunately that doesn't happen often!  :)

Have fun today,  Pharmer Phriend, and....
You can sit down now!

THE WEEKEND THREAD

07-20,21-02 Last Week in Review

[ST.LOUIE1]

"Grandma, what big eyes you have!" :)

I was too polite to call her 'Granny'. LOL!

[ST.LOUIE1]

It's not what you think .......
I was on the "Show-Me-The-Money" thread. They didn't ignore me. LOL

ROTF!!!!!!

Love Your Sibling As Yourself

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year-olds. After explaining the commandment to "honor thy father and thy mother," she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"
Without missing a beat, one little boy answered, "Thou shall not kill."

[JustAmy]

Picture Of God

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they drew.
She would occasionally walk around to see each child's artwork. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."
The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."
Without missing a beat or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute."

[daisyscarlett]

I don't have to share do I? : ) "

Absolutely not, not this time...

[daisyscarlett]

Thanks for posting Pippi. She is adorable...

Thank you! : )

[Phil V.]

So...where is he???

I'm struggling a great state of internal conflict, Sugar Pie. Th' cat dragged in some of last week's trash. I swore, "Never Again". But this thread is tweaking my resolve. The more th' cat posted trash th' sombitch clinton fed on it and got stronger. I resolved never to feed that sombitch -ever - never again.

But this thread is causing old dysfunctional behavior to surface. To post or not to post TRASH!!! What say you, Cup Cake?

[Billie]

"Grandma, what big eyes you have!" :)

I was too polite to call her 'Granny'. LOL!

Well, I hope you both know I was referring to Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf.

I have seen ru's picture, and believe me, she's no granny and she doesn't any of the wolf's features either! LOL

[Billie]

LOL! Kids truly do say the darnedst things. :)
