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!

Montage by martin_fierro
"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

Hi Pippin I just got back into the office.
Sorry to be so long in responding.
I am in and out all day on appointments. Hope everyone understands. I guess I drive about 100 miles a day showing real estate foreclousres and others.

[Billie]

Hi, ohio! The sunshine was short-lived I see. : ( Are you beginning to think you live in a rain forest?!

[Dubya]

Thats nice of them.

[deadhead]

"some sweet sentiments there, aren't there"

Yes, very nice :-) Lots of nice folks here at Freepers Finest. Thinking about what I should get for dinner, have narrowed it down to Italian or Mexican....or maybe a nice steak. LOL, OK time to move on this dinner thing. Have a good evening.

Thank you, Billie. It's so kind of you.
By the way, I love all the pictures you and Amy post.

[MeekOneGOP]

Gif guru ? Who's that, St.Louis? Good job !

[MeekOneGOP]

Yep ! That picture is better viewed smaller, alright.

Still no sign of Nic, tho. :O(

[Dubya]

Great post. Thanks.

If you come to my backyard, Billie, you'll see that I live not in a rainforest, but in a wetlands!

If algore were President, he'd have confiscated our property, and it would belong to the government!

I don't have my flowers in, and we've been planning to reseed the back (we're in the woods), but we haven't been able to do it yet.

It IS green, though! :o)

[JustAmy]

I've missed running into you on the motor-voter and the envir-nazi threads.

It's great to see you here ..... come back often. I love seeing old friends again. Well .... not old friends, just friends that I have lost contact with. LOL
It's almost time to gear up for the Bush in 04 campaign. We will have to work together again to keep those threads bumped.

JUST MY OPINON

Defending our country IMO means to defend our borders on thr land, air and sea.

Eagle, Globe, Anchor

The Marine emblem - Eagle, Globe and Anchor - symbolizes distant service under the American eagle by air, land and sea, representing our nation's interests "in every clime and place." The symbol was adopted in 1868 and is perhaps the most recognized insignia in the world.

Thanks for that breakfast! You just find the most beautiful graphics. :)

I found that graphic while I was researching Inn's in North Carolina (Boone and Blowing Rock area) last week. I saved it thinking it would fit in good at the Finest.
Thanks for the compliment. :)

[JustAmy]

I love this thread ..... been trying to remember everyone so I could ping them to this friendship thread! I'll need to find another graphic. Hearing from Chong reminded me of Shotabug.

Who else did I forget????

[Aquamarine]

I thought the pic was maybe of your nieces.

[ST.LOUIE1]

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

You're welcome Mr.Mouse. Glad you like it. : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

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) :)

That's more like it! LOL

Ummm....not too 'good', I hope. LOL

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

Pip, did you enjoy your ride? : )

Thanks, BB. : )

convict managed to escape from prison and his escape was the lead item on
the six o'clock news.

So not to be captured, he ran through fields and traveled through back roads
until he reached his wife's house.

When he reached the house, he rang the bell, his wife opened the door and
screamed,

"You lousy bum! Where have you been? You escaped more than six hours ago!"

[ST.LOUIE1]

Very pretty, Colleen, thank you. : )

Lovely thread. Friends and FRiends are a special gift from God, that I am sure of.
The SUN is SHINING on Long Island....Yippee!!!!

It always shines at the *Finest*! : )

[Aquamarine]

Another outstanding post JW!
