A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....02-18-03....Political Pictionary...Redux

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.

Many of you may have seen these before, because I posted a thread called Political Pictionary on August 8, 2001, after posting one called Clinton Captionary on August 6th.  Sometimes we have a "short week" scheduled, which means that filler threads are necessary.  So if you've been there,  done that,  just think of these days as TV Reruns, and know that "this, too, shall pass", and new,  fun,  interesting stuff will be back - usually the next day!
Let me close with the official seal of the National Democratic Party, along with one last picture and a most fitting caption:

For all we know, I'm a one-legged bear. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

It's firmly planted where the sun don't shine and it *hurts*....now, quit it!!

I did too. There was an article about The Rice Stuff in our local fish wrapper this morning. That is where I got the picture. It's posted on FR as a separate thread.

She reminds me of Eva Peron.

Whoa ! I'd say...

for accuracy's sake, the pic on the right is...
Madonna plays Eva Peron in 1996 film Evita.

It's mystery-ak, dutchess.....and he's going to see Eric again today! He sees him every day at mess, too. It is so neat that he's watching out for my boy! :o)

We got about 8 inches of snow here, which is significantly less than parts south and east, but shoveling the driveway was no picnic! (I also got a snow day yesterday, which is exceedingly rare for a college!)

As I sit at my computer I look out on our deck and it is gorgeous! I love the stuff!

Excellent, Billie. Very good pictures and captions. I didn't realize that you used to be so talented.

So what happened? :-)
