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. :)

(Billie - keep the Net Nanny seal fired up and handy!)

Hi, Lady! I'm still reading last night's to see if the Net Nanny really did need to scold anyone! :)

[Billie]

Ah-hum....ah Billie....You might not want to get this bunch drunk you know?

YIKES! DID we? (get them drunk last night?) Do I "really" want to go through all of last night's posts? Should I fast-forward to today and forget last night? :)

[Billie]

It's Better to Let The Fox Guard The Henhouse Than To Let The Dog Have The Keys To The Truck...

OMG! Egads! Thursday it was dogs, Friday it was frogs, last night it was FOXES?! Who're the critters today? :)

[Billie]

But, Billie... what did you think about Man Song???????

Man Song cracks me up, ru! At least if it's the one I'm thinking of - it's taken so long to load this, I didn't - either yesterday OR today! Don't know why it's being so slow, but I'm not patient enough for it. :)

[Billie]

In a former life, I was this:

Life Happens ~ ~ ~ sigh - -

[lodwick]

[COB1]

"All God's creatures need love."

Doggone it, Loddy!
That's my pick-up line, and you done gave it away!!

[COB1]

RE: #487:

Loddy, that is the funniest thing I've seen in a while!!
I can't stop laughing!

But then I'm a man, and I can laugh at things like that!
I'm glad I didn't post it!

[JustAmy]

A computer programmer happens across a frog in the road. The frog pipes up, "I'm really a beautiful princess and if you kiss me, I'll hang out with you for a week". The programmer shrugs his shoulders and puts the frog in his pocket.

A few minutes later, the frog says "OK, OK, if you kiss me, I'll be your girlfriend for a week". The programmer nods and puts the frog back in his pocket.

A few minutes later, "Turn me back into a princess and I'll be your girlfriend for a whole year!". The programmer smiles and walks on.

Finally, the frog says, "What's wrong with you? I've promised lots of fun with a beautiful princess for a whole year and you won't even kiss a frog?"

"I'm a programmer," he replies. "I don't have time for girls.... But a talking frog is pretty neat."

My weather satellites are reporting growing ice in antartica so watch out to port or maybe starboard.

[ofMagog]

Nay, I will go below and let Thud steer. Sorry you weren't with us when someone told CHIEF negotiator (Cobby misread the resume and thought it said navigator.) the nuns aboard a cruse ship off Tahiti were penguins. CHIEF thus thought the instruments were wrong and told us to watch out for icebergs.
