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. :)

Homemade chocolate chip

I bet they are a whole bunch better than my dog biscuits.

Please don't let LIR swap mine for bicuits ( she wouldn't do that to AMY and that is why I am asking for her cookies - heh heh).

I learned this from Justfrank!

[Mama_Bear]

Hi chads! You've done this too!? Everyone I know who has parasailed thought it was sooooooo much fun! Did LIR go up also? I am seriously thinking about it. I think between now and February I can talk myself into it. :-)

And, the landing was okay? I don't want to be landing like a gooney bird on that platform. LOL!

[Mama_Bear]

I bet they are a whole bunch better than my dog biscuits.

I think you won't be disappointed. :-)

Now I must go and finish fixing dinner. I have found I cannot post and cook at the same time. LOL

[MeekOneGOP]

No problem.

The photo was on the website and it was HUGE. I copied and re-sized it. Is this the one you were trying to post?

Yeah, that's the one. Thanks, and so sorry for the technical difficulties. Some websites are so touchy(feely).

You know, looking at this, I am not all that sure I am going to do this. LOL!

LOL !! Well, I sure won't encourage you to do something you're not comfortable with, but I would not flinch for one second to hop on, really. Of course, I speed ski down mountain slopes too !! (And take great pains to avoid trees in the process).....

[JustAmy]

Hi Beep!!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I can't make it to wherever you will be, but where will you be admitted for the surgery?
I can't stop by for a visit but I can probably send a real card instead of just a cyber one. LOL

[JustAmy]

" I forgot, you aren't going to be there Amy. :-( Well, I just might do it again the following week."

Awwww ...... Thank You!!

FriendAnn said she should have used CookieAnn as her screeen name.
Hey Friend ..... not until you start bringing cookies again. LOL

[JustAmy]

Have you decided on a place for dinner? Sorry chadsworth but I think I'll drop by the restaurant after the game to pick up my share. When is LIR bringing brownies?
Yo Mama .... don't let him swap dog biscuits for my share of those chocolate chip cookies.

[JustAmy]

Hey Bro .... did I miss you again?

[MeekOneGOP]

Well, folks, I think I'm gonna turn this machine off and lay the old noggin down. G'night all !! z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z.....

[JustAmy]

G'night, Meekie! See you tomorrow!

[chadsworth]

The one thing you can't tell her is that our operator dang near whacked Mrs. lodwick into a high-rise while positioning for landing.

UH-I thnk you just did tell her.

If she has enough rum & coke from Senior Frogs, she won'e even notice.LOL

My flilght was uneventful. With that long rope, the boat looked like an ant making a big wake. It was great fun.

[chadsworth]

Have you decided on a place for dinner?

NO - you'll come and get my cookies!

Uh - We are going to eat at Harris Ranch--heh heh. Too far to go to get cookies.

[JustAmy]

"We are going to eat at Harris Ranch--heh heh. Too far to go to get cookies"

Heh Heh ...... just a little detour on my way home!! Didn't I tell you I live in the boonies? You've been spending way too much time with JustFrank.

[JustAmy]

Welcome Home, We missed You!



JustShaggy.

[lodwick]

Good Morning Central Valley!

[JustAmy]

Good Morning Texas and all the states between! Let's see ...... Arizona and New Mexico. Maybe I'll go via Las Vegas ...... Good Morning Nevada!
What happened to Sleepyhead this morning? And where is Meek with our coffee?

[daisyscarlett]

I am back for the whole day today...yippee...just waiting for Billie to get here and get the thread up so I can start out "fresh"...Here are some goodies for while we wait...

[Billie]

A Wonderful New Week at the Finest Starts HERE!

[MeekOneGOP]

......And where is Meek with our coffee?

LOL !! Right here ! I thought I posted with hot chocolate instead already. Maybe not? Anyway, let's see if Carl is well now. (I was having trouble with the AT&T links earlier. Server problems, maybe?) Well, here goes nuttin' honey !! heh heh !!

It works now ! YAY !!

Have a cup while you FReep !

For those who prefer hot chocolate.....

[MeekOneGOP]

Oh, and just to clarify, when I post Well, here goes nuttin' honey !! heh heh !!.....

Nuttin' honey is referring to the humorous commercial a while back for Nut n Honey cereal. What ja have for breakfast, dear? "Nuttin' Honey!" LOL....
