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!

Yes, FRiends, it's another
Finest "Play Day"!
We should be visiting another state today, but the 'Finest Tour Bus' is in the shop for repairs (again!). So, we will be staying home and having a play day instead. For those of you who have your heart set on traveling, you are welcome to re-visit any or all of our Finest states below..... :-)
...the rest of us will
stay here and
Being 8 Years Old Again
I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old again.
- I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant.
- I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks.
- I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them.
- I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day.
- I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.
- I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good.
- I want to believe that anything is possible.
- I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again.
- I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones.
- I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow.
So, here's my checkbook and my car-keys, my credit card bills and my 401K statements. I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, 'cause...
"Tag! You're it!"
and have a wonderful Wednesday!

Thanks, Mixer!
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

Mornin' Aeronaut. That's a sleek looking plane you are flying today.
To: Pippin
Hi Pippin. Yesterday was fun. I downloaded several fonts that I didn't have. Billie always comes up with unique ideas for her posts.
Hope you have a nice day. Can you feel spring in the air yet?
To: Gabz
tag...........you're it!!!!!!!!!!! Neener, neener....can't catch me! LOL.
Have a nice day, Gabz. Oh, and did I read somewhere that you and hubby celebrated an anniversary recently? A belated Happy Anniversary to you both!
To: GailA
Hey, Gail! Happy Wednesday to you.
To: The Mayor
Happy day to you, Finest Cuzzin....and a pat on the back for the great job you are doing up there in New York. :-)
To: The Mayor
Wow! I am so proud of what you are doing. You set an excellent example for those who think that there isn't anything they can do to change things. HUGS!
To: Mama_Bear
Thanks, we all need to get involved, some people think that sitting infront of a computer does it, being a key board activist is one thing, getting out there and confronting the powers that be is another!
We are moving across the state and they hear us coming..

What an excellent rallying cry! I am so glad you are on our side!
To: Billie
You can see where I've been playing this morning. ;-)
And now I have lots of new fun fonts to play with, too!
To: StarCMC
Mama Bear, that pledge is ADORABLE!! Thank you. I am always on the look-out for images that will make nice pledge graphics. I've gotten lots of compliments on that one. :-)
To: Mama_Bear
Oh, how beautiful! Thank you! (Like that vignette, too) :)
And now I have lots of new fun fonts to play with, too! I know! There are many I downloaded just yesterday! And that other site where you found "Kidprint" is much like the first site you sent me (that I linked in the opening yesterday). None are zipped! Whoo Hoo!!!
I think many of those who were 'here' yesterday downloaded at least one or two new fonts. Fun, huh?!

Pinging some FReepers that I know to be proud supporters of our troops.....Here's a link you all might be interested in. It's to the Virtual Army National Guard site. They will send you a free "American Hero" wristband you can wear to support and honor our men and women in the National Guard. I ordered mine yesterday.
Please pass this link on to others who support our military.
The Virtual Armory
To: Mama_Bear; Old Sarge
Mama Bear - I have a hero band - after you receive it, make sure to go back online to virtualarmory.com and register it. You can choose to register it in the name of someone you know or "Any soldier." Mine is registered to honor Old Sarge!

after you receive it, make sure to go back online to virtualarmory.com and register it. Okay, will do. How long have they been doing this, do you know? My MIL heard about it on the local tv news the other night. It's the first I had heard about it.
To: Mama_Bear
I don't know - I got mine about a month ago. I wear it with my POW bracelet for Matt Maupin.
