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.

Would you believe it if I said the dog ate 'em? What a fun day yesterday. Mudboy and FTH have quite a task in front of them.

A Better Dog!

Good Dog

Good foggy morning to you, Miss Billie!!!
How's the weather in Texas? Have you had any snow? If this fog were on the ground, it would look like dirty snow.

Am I too late to get my kitten on the Christmas Pet Poster? If not, here she is:



Happy Holidays!

You are still here?

Yes, I'm still here! I am so happy to be able to stay for awhile, and so sad that I missed yesterday's thread.

FTH and MUD, you did a GREAT job with the Gingerbread house contest. You two make quite a team. LOL. What fun! I haven't had a chance to read the entire thread, but I did see the opening and some of the Gingerbread houses - beautiful and yummy!

What a memory! As a matter of fact, we should have already left (he likes to go at 11:30 our time before the crowd hits!) but he called at 11:15 and whispered into the phone that he was "in a meeting." LOL! He's supposed to call me when he's out....meanwhile my stomach is rumbling!

Thank-you for the very cute ***hug***!

Thanks for the Christmas card. Just as I imagined, a happy couple ice skating together.

How about showing us a triple lutz?

Coca Cola is showing the bears in their commercials and my thought turn to you two - not Coke.
