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

[ST.LOUIE1]

We'll be quiet as little church mice. : )

More like barn rats I'd say!

LOL!!

Where does Chads keep me when I have been difficult to live with you ask?
What would EVER give you the idea I would ever be difficult to live with?

I apologize for that remark.

I had a sudden mental lapse, and thought you were a woman. LOL

[ST.LOUIE1]

OK here's your hug Louie. Good night and be good. Ha!

Awwwww....thanks, Aqua. Great hug!

And I will be good, just for you.

Are you gone yet? : )

[Aquamarine]

Yes, I'm gone now. :) LOL!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Yes, I'm gone now. :) LOL!

I just knew you were lurking. LOL

G'nite, again. I'm shutting down, too.

This wolf's paws are tired from too much typing. : )

Goodnight, everyone! It's been fun!

[JustAmy]

Since I'm just getting back, may I have 2 glasses so I can ketchup?

[ST.LOUIE1]

Since I'm just getting back, may I have 2 glasses so I can ketchup?

Too late! The bar is closed, and all have gone home.

That'll teach you to stick around. : )

Goodnight, Princess. : )

[JustAmy]

Night Louie
See you tomorrow after church.

[LadyX]

""What are you, meshugana???"
Do you think that means a Honkey?""

Do not ask me why on a Saturday night/Sunday morning at 0115 I am sitting here answering this question!!...:)))

The dictionary defines it as slang for "a crazy person."

I ASK YOU - am I a crazy person?!! - - LOLOL - - - no answer required.

It is so painful to admit, ru - ur cruel, I tell you..:((

[ru4liberty]

You missed this post altogether!

To: LadyX

No, no, no!! That was addressed to COB1! I wish there were a field specifically for the addressee and one just for the cc's. That would clear up a lot of confusion, I bet.

[ru4liberty]

BTW, we're all a little meshugana -- that's what makes us so fun!

[LadyX]

is everyone else asleep?
do we need to whisper??
must be past my bedtime, and since I am not Cinderella, I'd better get my beauty sleep.

Night, ru - - see you in a few hours..:)))

Night, Billie, wherever U R !!

Night, ladyinred and chadsy and M_B and clarasoozie and aquamarine ~ ~ ~

U may turn the light down, ru4, and put on some music in case there is a late arrival..:)))

[ladyinred]

Sorry Ladyx, I got engrossed on that If only thread that is like 5000 posts long! Wow, is that a thread!

So, that word means crazy person? I should think after my behavior here today, that should have been addressed to me, not you!

Maybe they just got their ladys mixed up! Heck, I figured we were being called honkeys, honkys, honkies?

[ladyinred]

Ah thanks Louie, that is a nice thing to say! Shucks, I am almost speechless, but hey, we all know that isn't possible, so why lie after the scene I made here today!

Seriously, thanks a bunch!

[ladyinred]

Where have you been all day?
I had to stay here and get in so much trouble cause you were gone and somehow all this stuff happened here!

I know it couldn't be my fault, so I will just plead insanity and hope Billie lets me back on her again someday!

Night night everyone!

[Mama_Bear]

Okay, I'm back and, much to my amazement, it looks like you rowdies put the place back into a semblance of order. It's all nice and peaceful and quiet. I think the place would pass even Billie's inspection. Maybe I will get to keep my job as hostess after all. ;-)

---

Who should I leave in charge?

Me! Me! Me! I wanna be in charge!!! Oh please, oh please!

LOL! Tsk, tsk, ru.........a tad bit anxious, aren't we? Leave the "honorary "Hooligan' kid" in charge? I think not! ;-) LOL

---

Boy, you should be ashamed of yourself not keeping control of the wild people on this thread! I am just shocked I tell you, shocked by the behavior here! :)

Hey, ladyinred, you think YOU were shocked? How about me, when I peeked in on my thread and found you guys swingin' from the chandeliers?

---

Who should I leave in charge? Sheesh! There isn't a one of you that I trust! ;-)

Got that right! Party down, everybody!!!!

LOL! Thanks Louie, I knew I could trust you to keep things under control. ;-)

---

U may turn the light down, ru4, and put on some music in case there is a late arrival..:)))

Thank you, LadyX. How sweet and considerate of you. :-)

---

See you all tomorrow. :-)

[WaterDragon]

I don't always post a comment, but I lurk here every day. It is so reassuring to see these photos of American heroes.

[Pippin]

GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY!

Hope everyone has a blessed day on this Sunday!

This is the day the Lord has made! Let us rejoice and be glad in it!

This is also the feastday of ST. Louis (king of France)

OH! OH! Does this mean I have to be nice to you, Louie?

May the Sacred Heart of Jesus bless and protect all who post or lurk on this thread!

See, Billie! I'm behaving myself!

[LadyX]

" Heck, I figured we were being called honkeys, honkys, honkies?"

Been standing on that Fresno corner too long ladyinred?!!
Have honkin' on yer mind 20/7 now?
LOL

(Take good care of her, chadsy...:)))
Give us the address of the institu um - 'place' so we can send Care packages . . .)

[LadyX]

What a wonderful greeting for the morning!
Thank you, Pippin, and may God bless your day ~ ~ ~

We look forward to your return later, and the gathering of friends . . . .

[LadyX]

For whoever is the designated Herdmistress of the Day, special mercies are asked...:))
'Tis a huge and mostly thankless task ye bear (s'cuse me Mama_B), testing yer patience, with much tongue clucking and gritting of teeth.

On any given day, we can be the best little children on the planet; or mini-versions of 'JustFrank' - or both!

The coffee is brewing for early arrivals, and lodwick soon will be bringing in the 'vittles,' I imagine.

I see another Great Day ahead!
