A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day 08-22-02

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.

It's A DOG'S World





"I am the proud owner of a 2 yr old Mini Daschund named Sadie.   I am an animal lover - dogs mainly; hence my screen name.  The name I wanted was taken....Mad Dog....LOL!"


Dog

FReeper since 01-05-00
New Mexico

The photo above is the only picture Dog has online, but what fun it was to put him in other places! Look at him below! He should have been a young man living in the 40's instead of now; the ZOOT SUIT was made for him! (pictured below with FReeper HiJinx in a 40's Fashion Thread posted at the Canteen earlier this year)





Dog was one of the first males to join The Guild; since he's always loved researching and investigating things, it made him an ideal candidate for the Men's Auxiliary group of the Investigative Guild. See his photo below, relaxing in Howlin's family room, where the group met every day.



Currently, Dog's favorite thread is America, the Right Way, and though you will find him there most every day, he still makes time to browse FR for other threads offering the latest news, or humor (people need to laugh more nowadays, he says).

Dog ISN'T an Elvis fan, IS a Bush fan (oops! he didn't want me to mention that. LOL....too late! It's okay though, because this is a Bush friendly thread), and he told me that Elian was the reason he came out of lurker mode and became an active FReeper.

I guess we can say, "Thank you, Elian and God Bless you." And to you, Doggie, I say for all of us......

You're one of FR's Finest!

Thanks for the Presidential type link.
Great stuff there. ;-)

Despite the fingernails on the blackboard noises coming from the Lib Left, he's doing
a great job, imho.....


Susan Estrich: What's she saying?
Just imagine the sound of fingernails on a blackboard !

Then, I won't get Billie mad at me.

Dog, now you know what they call me on this thread. Pippin! or the Pipster! because I sometimes display the pippi nature of Pippin Took!

As you can see I'm a Tolkien fan!

What a nice tribute and profile, Billie (she says with just the tiniest bit of envy as she wishes she had been assigned this profile, lol.--just kidding, you and Dog are such good buddies, no way could I have done him as well)....

Nonnie, nonnie, boo boo! I got to keep Dog myself! LOL!

Psssssst! He may be showing up again the next time we do a "Name That Freeper". :)

Great picture - my family and I were at Mount Rushmore two days before his visit. Wish we could have delayed to be there with him.

There were two buddies, one with a Doberman Pinscher and the other with a Chihuahua. The guy with the Doberman says to his friend, "Let's go over to that restaurant and get something to eat."

The guy with the Chihuahua says, "We can't go in there. We've got dogs with us."

The buddy with the Doberman says, "Just follow my lead." They walk over to the restaurant, the guy with the Doberman puts on a pair of dark glasses, and he starts to walk in.

The bouncer at the door says, "Sorry, Mac, no pets allowed." The man with the Doberman says, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog."

The bouncer says, "A Doberman?"

He says, "Yes, they're using them now, they're very good."

The man at the door says, "Come on in."

The buddy with the Chihuahua figures, "What the heck," so he puts on a pair of dark glasses and starts to walk in.

Once again the bouncer says, "Sorry, pal, no pets allowed."

The guy with the Chihuahua says, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog."

The bouncer at the door says, "A Chihuahua?"

The man with the Chihuahua says, "A Chihuahua??? They gave me a Chihuahua?!"

We see ya, we see ya! You can use your 'logo' if you want! He's yours to keep. Actually, Meek posted this cute little dog the other night, and I thought he would be perfect for you, so I 'snatched' him and put your name on him!
