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.

To Our FReeper FRiends: We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our spotlight on various FReepers. We thought we'd kick back on the weekends and simply review those who've been featured during the week. If you missed seeing them and want to say hello to them now, feel free to click on the link to that particular thread. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today and tomorrow, please feel free to do that also. One of us will always be around to see the welcome mat is still out, and maybe even put fresh flowers on the table. :)

Strangers are just friends waiting to happen

I have been on a few rabbit trails checking out the map since you posted that. My father's family hails from Eastern KY where his father was a coal miner. He never went back after he was discharged from the Army, but I still have kin back there in Louisa, Ashland and Paintsville.

I know I have a Texas drawl, but I sound downright citified compared to my kin in KY! A couple of expressions that always intrigued me were "hit" for "it" and "hain't" for "ain't." On one of our trips when was about 8ish, I decided I wanted to "fit in." A carload of us were riding around looking at the sites. I saw a pretty scene and exclaimed "Hit's purty, hain't hit?" Daddy about wrecked the car and Mother got a mild case of whiplash! I never heard the end of it!

Ahhhhhh ... Stuart Anderson's Black Angus.

Might be busy at 7:30 on Friday night but we should do that. I can call and make reservations.

Thanks, lodwick!! I usually go there a couple of times a year before a football game. Superb!!

[chadsworth]

I forgot to mention, that is where Harris Ranch is located - post 180

[Billie]

Hi, Aqua - thanks for playing disc jockey for us every day!

[WVNan]

LOL...that is too funny. Louisa, Ashville and Paintsville are just a hop, skip & jump from where I live. About an hour to hour and a half. We have a friend who lives in Louisa. You have some good old family roots there. You might be interested to know that a "haint" (noun) is also a ghost.

[JustAmy]

When will you be putting the porn back?


You haven't seen JustAmy have you?
(using Amy's account again! She's going to get into trouble yet)Heh Heh Heh

[Billie]

I think Amy wants to keep Frank just for herself! I hear she is the real jealous and possessive type! But that's just between you and me, no one else can see this, okay?

LOL! I'll never tell!

My doggie weights 44 lbs but he still thinks he's a lap dog. The big baby!

[Billie]

Thank YOU for all that you contribute - we rely on and appreciate your contributions greatly! You always offer a little variety every day! Thanks, Jim!

[Aquamarine]

Glad you liked it Nan. My husband bought a new printer (the other one quit on us) and has been piddlin around with it all day so it's been hard to get near the computer today! Now it's fixing to storm. Shoot!

[Billie]

EEEUUUUUU!

[Billie]

Hey, Sandy! I finally got you out of the mailbox!! Good to see you here! Actually, the weekend thread is just a come and go, stay, whatever, whenever type of thing - Monday through Friday we put a different FReeper in the spotlight, and they have to sing and dance for us throughout the day. :)

[Aquamarine]

My husband liked your picture, he printed it out to take to work with him (he's a Fireman). I swear he's gonna use up all his ink the first day he uses this new printer. LOL!

[Billie]

LOL! What a cute little brat! I think I have some brats - here's one:
