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.

A STAR WOLF IS BORN
Once a'pony time...
about 32 years ago...
a wolf was born.




     

ST.LOUIE1 his chosen name;
His mother always knew
This was not just any wolf..
He's quite special, it is true.
They came from every thread
Because he is so Fine!
This little wolfie, Louie...
The ladies clamored, "Mine!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well....that was then and this is now,
And wolfie's all grown up.
Has he changed? Did he mature?
If yes means no, and no means yes,
The answer then is, "Yup!"

    

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Happy Birthday Hugs, Wolfie!

Now that we've established I'm no poet, the other hostesses wanted to wish you Happy Birthday, so just stand still while they line up - alphabetically, of course - to give you your hugs. : ) ~ BillieBlue

I repent - Nan forgives me!!

Yippee!!

[LadyX]

I love it when you try to 'splain JustFrank..:))

[JustAmy]

"Busy today, aren't you? "

Now that you mention it, I do have another birthday wish for you!



Hope you enjoyed your special day!!

[WVNan]

Ah, finally we are here!

[WVNan]

It's like trying to splain Silly Shelly.

[WVNan]

Good evening JA. Glad to see you here for our late night mischief.

[JustAmy]

LOL
It is impossible to 'splain JustFrank.

[LadyX]

"It's like trying to splain Silly Shelly."

Heck - we all know that's your alter ego, Nan - the Real You!
LOL

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Nan.

Should we let Silly Shelly and JustFrank get together to see who gets their joke pulled first?

Oh, that's right ..... Billie told me to keep JustFrank in the woodshed; the Birthday Wolf said JustFrank could probably get away with almost anything since Louie's having such a fun party.

[WVNan]

Nope. My alter-ego is Snoopy.

[GailA]

Yes, very pro-2nd amendment I've always supported our 2nd amendment rights. I Conceal Carry. Rarely leave home with out my Bersa. Memphis has a VERY high crime rate, murder, rape, carjackings and all the other violent crimes. We've serial rapist running loose at the moment. I didn't think I could kill either, but if it came down to me or him..you can bet your sweet bippy my first shot will be in the kill zone if at all possible.

Being the parent of a murdered child does tend to color the way you view life.

[WVNan]

Did you hear about the woman in N.C. who named her daughter Morphine? She said she had heard that morphine was the product of a wild poppy. "Her poppy was about the wildest scoundrel that ever passed through here."

[WVNan]

Memphis has ever been thus. When we lived there it was the same. I hated the place. I'm so glad our business failed there. I think about you a lot, Gail. I don't know how you have kept your sanity. At least you don't have any illusions about people being basically good, do you?

[FreeTheHostages]

See, I'm not spreading any rumors about JustFrank because I think they might be true. :) Right, Frank? I mean, Amy??

[Billie]

It's okay - Billie's going to say goodnight now. At least TRY to behave!

Thank you all for helping us make this a fun and special day for a fun and special guy.

[JustAmy]

After being with her all evening, the man couldn't take another minute with his blind date. Earlier, he had secretly arranged to have a friend call him to the phone so he would have an excuse to leave if something like this happened.

When he returned to the table, he lowered his eyes, put on a grim expression and said, "I have some bad news. My grandfather just died."

"Thank heavens," his date replied. "If yours hadn't, mine would have had to!"

***********



Heh Heh Heh
Thank you for persuading Amy to let me out for awhile.

[LadyX]

"Nope. My alter-ego is Snoopy."

LOL

Snoopy, huh?
No Comment..:))

[FreeTheHostages]

{{GailA}} Good night.

[LadyX]

(I have a crush on Frank, Amy..:))
But then, I love Carlsbad Carl, the Caveman Meekie brings us, too...sigh.

So many men - so little time.)

[FreeTheHostages]

So, as I understand the situation, you were able to catch Frank.
