A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....12-11-02

Posted on 12/11/2002 7:48:03 AM PST by Billie




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.

the name of that Mexican restaurant over there in Meyerland Plaza

Hmmm. . . I really can't say. I'll look next time I pass it, which is almost daily.

I don't board my dog, either. If he can't come along, I don't go.

Thanks for the ping, my FRiend. How could I miss a skating thread? Should I post some pix of me in a competition last year? (You'll have to tell me how to do that - I am HTML challenged). But if I do post 'em, no laughin - please!

Well, there is the missing gingerbread head at post 374 for humblegunner's angry (probably house-less) gingerbread men. I think those men are angry because Gilligan ate their home. Of course, Flyer's proof is written and not verbal, so we must take that into account . . . . It's a tough one, that contest. Any of the finalists could easily win.

Would a nice ham help the process?

Our new Black Forest Hams are cured in brown sugar and spices,
then slow-smoked for hours and hours in the smokehouse.
The result, a lean rosy-colored ham that’s
not too sweet or spicy, but just right.
