A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and 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....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

"BEST FRIENDS are the siblings God forgot to give us."

A change of pace today; a filler of sorts.... an email received some time ago from a friend: various quotes about love and friendship. Please feel free to add your own treasured gems.

Thank you, martin_fierro, for making this special montage for me to use today. I can't think of a better way to illustrate "Best Friends" than with FReepers' own photos, and the graphic you chose is perfect!

Of Love and Friendship....

• LOVE starts with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear.
  
  
• THE HARDEST thing to do is watch the one you love, love somebody else.
  
  
• DON'T FROWN. You never know who's falling in love with your smile.
  
  
• DON'T CRY over anyone who won't cry over you.
  
  
• What do you do when the only person who can make you STOP crying is the person who MADE you cry?
  
  
• Nobody is PERFECT until you fall in love with them.
  
  
• Some people make the world SPECIAL just by being in it.
  
  
• A BEST FRIEND is like a four leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have.
  
  
• Most people walk in and out of your life, but only FRIENDS leave footprints in your heart.
  
  
• GOOD FRIENDS are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.
  
  
• Good friends are like STARS. You don't always see them, but you know they are ALWAYS THERE.
  
  
• When it HURTS to look back, and you're SCARED to look ahead, you can look beside you and your BEST FRIEND will be there.
  
  
• TRUE FRIENDSHIP "NEVER" ends. Friends are FOREVER.

And Other Good Stuff....

• DON'T let the past hold you back; you'll miss the good stuff.
  
  
• LIFE is SHORT. If you don't look around once in a while you might miss it.
  
  
• REMEMBER, every minute spent angry is sixty seconds of happiness wasted.
  
  
• EVERYTHING is okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end.

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 a FReepmail and I will gladly do it for you. ~Mixer

Do I still get to ride with you?

[Billie]

Darn! I thought you 'meant' to give me all the attention! :)

[Billie]

You're welcome - AOL reminds us of things like that on the opening screen, or I wouldn't have 'remembered' it. :)

Just want to make sure you pack your light weight pelt if you come to see you Sis! LOL

Hello to all. I'm here. I poke my head in every once in a while just to see what's going on. I've been busier than a one-legged man in a a$$ kickin' contest. I keep thinking things will slack off. Maybe after next week, we have the customer coming in to accept some equipment we've been putting together for some time. Plus I've been out of town EVERY weekend with no computer access except on Sunday night.

I am thinking about trying to work in the VN helicopter pilot memorials again now that things have comparatively cooled off in Iraq, even though I still have on son still on the ground there. Once I start that again I'll be here every day.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Hey, lad! Good to see you!

God bless your son.

[ladtx]

Thanks Louie. Got an email from him today. He's doing well except the skeeters are about to eat him up. They are on the banks of the Tigris and I guess mosquito control is not the best.

[ST.LOUIE1]

One for your collection, Meek. : )

Hi, (((ladtx)))!

Always glad to see you whenever you can drop in :O)

[ladtx]

Hi Pippin. I'll be here a short while (about another) hour then I'll be hitting the road again for the weekend. Next weekend I get to stay here for a change and enjoy Father's Day when my wife and youngest son come to visit.

[MeekOneGOP]
