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. :)

Hey - We'll have to pretend to be The Finest..:)))

If you and I sing a duet, they will come running to STOP US!!!

LOL, my friend.

[WVNan]

Whew, I was beginning to wonder if I remembered to take my shower this morning. At my age it's possible to forget. How ya doing Maggie? I've messed our talks. You never answered my last mail. Are you like me....too busy to freep?

[WVNan]

Make that "missed"

[LadyX]

"You never answered my last mail."

Now if I can just remember how to FIND the mail box, Nan - LOL!

I remember I there checking it one day, and just kinda wandered off - you know how THAT is!

Have you looked in the Mail Room on FR lately?

The Range Rovers have taken over posting their targets from practice for the Clay Wars.!

[WVNan]

To tell you the truth, I don't recall (don't you love that phrase?) whether I sent you freepmail or e-mail. It's been three or four days ago. Which is to say at our age a century ago in memory.

[LadyX]

I'm actually totally immersed in Fall Cleaning, now that it IS fall - usually am a couple of months behind, but I looked around the living room and said "IT IS TIME - NOW."

Then, of course, the next room and the hall and - - -

[WVNan]

Another amazing parallel. Cleaning is what I've been doing too. Going through the entire house and pitching into yard sale piles. Then I'm going to paint if my body holds out (that's in question). I spent last week cleaning the studio. The guys don't seem to get around to cleaning and it was an embarrassment to have such a mess in a public business. I organized the tons of equipment, cameras, lights, props, etc. and son had best keep it that way or answer to me. Well, it's been a long day. I'm off to bed to get recharged for tomorrow. Sigh. Take care of your own self and stay well. God bless.

[GailA]

Hope everyone had a good day today, it was just beautiful in Memphis weather wise.

Rocky is doing good...actually managed to advert 4 accidents on the floor today, not bad for a new puppy who is 8 weeks old.

[LadyX]

Love that gif, Gail!!
So glad Rocky is being a good boy..:)))
Animals are such a joy.

[COB1]

How did you manage to get that picture of me, Gail??!
You peekin' in my window, gal?

[ladyinred]

How did you manage to get that picture of me, Gail??! You peekin' in my window, gal?

In your dreams she is! :)

[Libertina]

Yes, I'm very late getting here but just returned from my sister's birthday. I am very happy to hear that your sis, Dansangel, is feeling chipper again! You must be very relieved!
And thank you for the fine Thud origination tale, ofMagog, and the boat photo, LadyX. You all had such interesting talk today here on FR's Finest.
You'll be happy to hear that my sister's birthday celebration was also great. Her friend (who wants to start a bed and breakfast) did all the cooking -a Persian meal - 5 courses. I was going to post the 20 or so dishes but I'm too tired! (from all the eating no doubt!) Each course had several dishes and they came about 40 minutes apart. We literally ate all afternoon and evening - some people dressed up and the music was authentic. I did feel a little odd with the "Persian" theme because of our present war on terror, but I reminded myself that it was Persia - not present day Iran we were doing. Also, one does not quarrel with a sis on her birthday.
So sleep tight everyone and I hope to see you tomorrow after work! And thanks for including me in your joyful thread :)
Dancing in the moonlight...

[LadyX]

Hi - does chadsworth have a window in his doghouse?!!
LOL

[LadyX]

I'm so glad you stopped by with the report of your day - it sounds as if it was a fascinating day!
Look forward to your return tomorrow.

[COB1]

"In your dreams she is! :)"

Boy!
You sure know how to blow a good ego trip, don't you??!

[lodwick]

Good Monday morning everyone.

[JustAmy]

Good Morning, Lodwick.
Good Morning, Pippin.
Good Morning, ALL.
Has Meekie been here with the coffee yet? Is he waiting for Billie?

Billie, Time to wake up!

[lodwick]

Good morning out there - who knows where all the sleepyheads are this morning - maybe the clays got'em. ;-)

[JustAmy]

Oh No ...... Not the dreaded Clays!!
Didn't I see where the good guys took care of the Clays last night? Did the Clays send in reinforcements while I slept?

[lodwick]

They're Baaaack!
