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.

1) Click on the graphic to open the Calendar.
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

That sounds great! :o)

I'm still keeping your other son in my prayers. God bless him and all who serve or have served.

[MeekOneGOP]

hehe ! Meekie Mouse. I love it. Thanks.

* S-N-I-P! *

[MeekOneGOP]

I saved that to my 'puter so I can download it in a bit ! Thanks again.

Good Day to ya, Pippin...the Ranger is a major hero in my pantheon of heroes...I think him and Dubya must be cousins...)

[LadyShallott]

Hi Pippin! How are you doing today? The baby is taking a nap so I am enjoying some down time. :)God Bless-

Chris

[LadyShallott]

Yes she is sleeping right now. :)I will get the rest of the stuff that you need to you tomorrow. I was actually going to do it last night but we got caught up in doing stuff. Thanks for the reminder. God Bless-

Chris

That darn thief! That babe who had been around the block a few times - she stole my boots and pretended to be me just so she could take my ride. :) She almost got away with it, too. (The good girls have curls and wear pink shirts) :)

You're next, Pip! Hang on - he's pretty fast!

[tame]

Hi, Amy! How are you?

[Billie]

Holy smokes...now I'm really in trouble....)

LOL!A new bluebird should get you out of it. :)

[tame]

Are you guys going to be at Blackstone and Shaw tonight? I think we should hold some RECALL DAVIS rallies at Blackstone and Shaw.

[Billie]

Gosh, it's good to hear from you again!

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.

We would love that. Your oldest son is getting to stay around close to home now? And I guess the youngest one is home from college. Know the middle one is not really out of danger even though the main 'fighting' there has ended. I guess they can never let their guard down until they're back home again.

[Billie]

Oh, what a cutie that one is - another cowboy, too, Meekie!

"Meekie Mouse" - LOL!

In the spirit of this "Love & Friendship" thread I've decided too express only warm and generous thoughts and not to bring up any of the things you do which aggravate and annoy me. I won't mention your unparalled meanness, your vicious insults, or your demeaning graphics such as these.....

       

Yes, I'm going to take the high road and offer you my hand in friendship knowing full well that you'll probably bite it off. :-)

[JustAmy]

"Are you guys going to be at Blackstone and Shaw tonight? "

We've cancelled tonight's rally ...... too many people unable to attend. We should be back on our corner next Friday.
Mama_Bear, jkphoto and mtngrl@vrwc should be back and having FReeper withdrawals by then.

[JustAmy]

[Billie]

I've missed you today.
