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.

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.

It's Official
We are pleased to announce today that Dansangel is joining DaisyScarlett, Mama_Bear, and me as one of your "FR Finest" hostesses. Dansangel has been a guest writer for many of the profiles you've already read, and has agreed to become a regular contributor and hostess each week. She will be both writing and creating her own layouts as well as posting the Finest threads once a week. We are excited and can't wait for you to see what she's got waiting in the wings!
dansangel
FReeper since 10-21-01
Dansangel and this man who calls her his angel, .45MAN, reside in Georgia, and both are avid gunowners and supporters of the Second Amendment. A quick look at her profile page and the links provided there would erase any doubts in your mind that this Southern Belle, despite her fragile good looks, knows her way around firearms!
Dansangel, I can't tell you how pleased I am to welcome you to the Finest Thread hostess team. You have already written some excellent profile presentations for our thread and we appreciate so much that you have graciously agreed to share your time and your wonderful writing talent with us on a regular basis. This is exciting! You are a perfect addition to our Finest "team". Not only are you a talented writer, you have also proven to be a 'natural' hostess, never failing to bring sunshine and hugs to everyone you meet on the thread. I love your bubbly enthusiasm! THANK YOU!
(((((((Hostess Babe HUGS!))))))) ~ Mama_Bear
I am absolutely delighted that you are joining us as an FRs Finest Hostess and look forward to working with you and enjoying some more great Profiles of FRs Finest from you. I am sure you will find it a very rewarding and fun experience.
~ daisyscarlett
Please join Mama_Bear, DaisyScarlett, and me in welcoming Dansangel as one of the Finest Hostesses on the net!

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping'
The guy's good, folks!
Thanks, Mixer!
1) Click on the graphic to open the Calendar. 2) Once there you can click on any month and even click to the right to go into next year. Once you are in the month that you joined FR you will need to click on the number in the calendar and then an add item screen will come up. 3) In the next box enter your name in the "Calendar Text" field and then click on submit. 4) If any of the screens fail to load simply click on refresh in your browser and that will usually fix it. 5) If all else fails or simply if you want me to do this for you send me an FReepmail and I will gladly do it for you. ~Mixer |

It is not a beautiful morning for me. My little dachshund was poisoned last Monday night and took a turn for the worse last night. The vet said that it not "as promising" as it was; he thought yesterday she might come home today but this morning she is bleeding from the rectum.
Some a$$hole threw poison into my yard. It was intentional.

FR's Finest just got Finer!
Indeed it has. :^)
To: Pippin
Good morning, Pippin. New shoes - red, I presume? :) I wasn't here all weekend either, and there are a few pings I need to answer. A FReeper friend, Angelique, passed away, and I have several pings I need to answer.

Prayers for the family.

Ohio, isn't that WONDERFUL! It isn't hard to see why this First Family is loved by so many - they are so thoughtful and giving of themselves. A scrapbook moment for sure!

Oh, lonestar, I am SO sorry! My heart aches for you and for your precious little dachshund. I cannot understand how anyone can be so cruel. What a terrible thing for all of you to endure. I'm so sorry. I am sure your vet will not let her suffer long if there's no hope for her recovery. I am sure tears will do no good, but you have mine. I can't stand for animals to be mistreated.
