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!

They come in all shapes and sizes,



Colors and textures and densities.





Some are squishy



Some are solid



And some even have beans in their bottoms!





They have long legs



And short legs.





They can be boy bears





And girl bears.





There are bear families



And even bear singles.



Some are just downright *different*.





No matter what they look like,
however they feel
Love from a teddy bear
is love that is real.



Come share your favorite teddy bear story
with all of us here at the Finest!

"How 'bout a bear hug for me, Woofie Toofums?"

[WVNan]

Hi cuzzzzzzz. This is the way I may look when Sistah sees that last post I made.

[WVNan]

Hey cowboy! That youngun is looking good these days. Truly a miracle.

[WVNan]

Hi Molly! Spring is coming. Just hold on.

[WVNan]

Well, I'm sorta here. Gettiing there.

[LadyX]

Mama always said you were too quick on your tongue-trigger..:(

I KNOW it is about bears today, and if you look below the post where you dressed me down, Sistah, you will see I saved my bear for a worthwhile cause and had already hit the POST icon...our dear Wolfie deserved it.

So there.....you may 'pologize....

[WVNan]

Did you try refreshing? He's showing up fine for me.

[WVNan]

(ducking)Well, I was only seeing puppy dogs and Mama always said you get things mixed up, so what was I sposed to think?Oh well......

[LadyX]

Ha...nearly all your graphics are just little ole red 'x' things. Whatever face you suggest is there was wiped out by a Higher Power..:))

That'll teach ya to be mean to me.

Here is my favorite bear, by the way:

[Billie]

Oh, what a cutie! Thanks, Nan and hi back! Missed you yesterday, so glad to see you today.

[dutchess]

Wow Nan...you are on a roll....I had the day from hell...need to get working on John's essay for tomorrow and reluctantly stopped in just to say hi/by. So glad I did...all your little bears have me smiling. Am taking a deep breath...relaxing and am going to have fun getting the thread ready. Thanks!

[LadyX]

(no joke - almost all your graphics show as a red 'x' and will not show with Refresh or the drop-down 'Show Picture'selection.)

[dixie sass]

I never do anything but laugh with you!!! Laughing at people goes against the grain! As for those thingies, well, usually they are only prayers and I don't care whether they get sent back or not.

The important thing (being the sister, cousin and cuzzzzzzz of ministers) is that prayers are sent to everyone, no matter who they are. Prayers are very important.

[dutchess]

Post #171 goes to you billie...maggie and dansy too. And billie...those smiley things are just way way too cute!

Now...I really must leave...but thanks to this thread dansy and all the cute graphics everyone has posted, I'm much more light hearted...if all goes well I'll join in the fun later.

p.s. Aqua...thanks for the links to pictures...love you sistah!

[Mama_Bear]

LOL!!! Surely you are not talking about this sweet, innocent bear!

[WVNan]

Now, I shall relay my "teddy bear" story. Truth be told, I never had a teddy bear when I was growing up. Mama says it's because when they gave me one as a wee tot I exhibited signs of trauma, screaming meenies it was. So, no teddy bear. Not being aware of this, however, as I grew older I wondered why all the other girls got bears and I never had one. I felt deprived. When I met Jack I was 30 yrs old and still no teddy bear. When he found out, he bought me the sweetest, softest white teddy bear I had ever seen. I still have it. Symbol of his love for me and I treasure it.

[WVNan]

You're kidding me! They are all showing up on my puter. How can that be?

[Mama_Bear]

Hi Dixie. I've been in and out. Wish I had more time to spend on this thread. It is definitely MY kind of thread. :-)

[WVNan]

dutchess, tell me you can see my bears. Louie and Sistah say they are all red Xs.

[Billie]

Nan, I was getting the red x on your gifs (except mine), so I copied some of the urls and pasted in my browser - certainly worth the look - they're so cute!
