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. :)

[lodwick]

Refreshments, anyone?

[Pippin]

LOUIE!

[Pippin]

HOWDY, LODWICK!

[lodwick]

Good grief - that's either the skankiest looking cat, or the best looking rat, I've ever witnessed. ;-)

[Mama_Bear]

Tule Fog in the Central Valley

If it were REAL tule fog, you wouldn't be able to see the wagon in that picture. ;-)

[Billie]

I'll have one of each! And if you've got any margaritas...... :)

[Dubya]

LOL thanks for the ping

[Pippin]

Gte no argument out of me ;^)

[Dubya]

Thank you JustAmy

[lodwick]

Hey Pips - hope you burned tons of candles for us. Some of us could use a special dispensation or three. ;-)

[lodwick]

If it were REAL tule fog, you wouldn't be able to see the wagon in that picture. ;-)

That's the truth, but if I'd posted the killer stuff, it would've looked similar to the BlueScreenofDeath and caused everone to reboot, or something.

[lodwick]

GTE use to be my LD carrier. Why do I post these things?

[Mama_Bear]

Harris Ranch is a "fantantastic place to eat".

I agree with that! In fact, one of the reasons JK's tri-tip was so good at the tailgate party is because it was Harris Ranch beef. Makes all the difference.

[lodwick]

Good evening, and great to see you safely home. JL

[Billie]

How many Net Nannies do we have around here????
You the *good Nanny? Guess Billie's the *bad* Nanny.
What does that make Libby? The *I don't care either way* Nanny LOL!
Help!!!! Too much Nannyin' goin' on around here! I'm confused! : ( : (

We can be good or We can be bad. We Are Woman. It's our job to keep you confused. :)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Yeah, I might have to make Lib an honorary "Hooligan' kid. LOL

I love it! Do it! Add her!
Only, I know you like to make up your own nicknames (I like Lib and Libby!) but I think she likes ru or ru4!

Hey....it's 'my' family. I'll call her 'ru4-R-against'.

When she's 4...she can stay.

When she's 'against'....I toss her out. LOL

I don't think she'll remain too long, though....

....she's not as rotten as Amy. : )

[Pippin]

Got Y'ALLS covered! =^)

[Dubya]

Thanks. Its good to be here. I had a fairley good day. I have 2 contracts on house people want to buy, if I can get their credit through.

[Pippin]

LOL!!!

GTE = Get

Got it?

[JustAmy]

A blonde was hired to paint the yellow stripes on a highway. The first day, she painted ten miles of road. The second day, she only painted five. Her boss, seeing how she was getting slower, decided to give her a day off, thinking that she needed a rest.

When she came back the next day, she only painted 0.5 miles of road.

Her now discouraged boss came up to her and said, "Excuse me, but why have you been painting less and less each day, even after I gave you a day off?"

"Simple," the blonde answered. "I've been getting farther away from the paint can!"
