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!

Welcome to TGIF at the Finest!   We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. From the beginning, we've been kicking back on Saturdays and Sundays and simply reviewing the features of the week; our weekend threads now start on Friday and continue through Sunday. If you missed seeing any of this week's threads and want to say hello there now, just click on the link for that particular day. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today through Sunday, please feel free to do that also. One of us will try to be around to see the welcome mat is still out, put the coffee pot on, and maybe even bring fresh flowers for the table. : )

Hi Pippin. Here's wishing a few of the Lord's blessings your way also. :-)

[The Mayor]

Greetings Pippin, hope you can be here more often.

[dixie sass]

How precious Victoria!

[dixie sass]

Oh, I bet you do! Will you be able to sleep tonight though?

[Kudsman]

Love that graphic Billie.

Have a wonderful night all.

[dixie sass]

Is that your back yard?

I'm going to have to break down and get cable. The rabbit ears aren't doing so good anymore.

[dixie sass]

Homemade bread?

[Kudsman]

We are doing great. Thanks for asking. Went to the Zoo today because it was so nice today and the tykes have been waiting.

I've been doing a little base trim coping today just to get started and see how it's going to look. Now that the staining and poly coats are done the real fun starts.

;-)

How have you been?

[WVNan]

I wish my back yard looked like that. But give me time. I'm working on it. And yes, you should have cable and have your computer on it too.

[Kudsman]

Homemade bread?

The Mayor's daily bread. Soul food.

I put a tennis shoe on that had been left out in the garage and felt something in there. Then after taking it back off I found a small cocoon attached under the tongue of the tennis shoe. I pulled it out and it looked and felt like a small brillo pad. When I opened it up a brown and black caterpillar came out. Put the shoe back on and took a walk...then within an hour I had a blueish green whelp on top of my foot the size of a golfball! Had never seen anything like it and still don't understand how that happened.

[The Mayor]

Doin pretty good, been busy doing those kitchen cabinets and redoing an old 2 family into a single. (same house) Did you see the cabinets I posted earlier..

[The Mayor]

look what I made..

[Kudsman]

No I didn't see the cabinets. But that pic is beautiful. Was that pine you made look like cherry or were you using hardwood. The grain on the left gives the whole thing character. Nice work Mayor.

[The Mayor]

That strip you see with the grain is pine, most of it is Poplar. The doors are all Poplar.

The bench is all done now, I need to cut down a table to fit.

This is the type of work I enjoy but I think I'm getting arthritis, I ache.. gettin old that's all..

[WVNan]

There is a caterpiller that hangs out on Mimosa trees that creates the most painful burn you've ever felt. Just touching them will make you wish you hadn't. Might be something like that. Hope it doesn't cause you any more problems. Lesson: always check the inside of old tennis shoes that have been in the garage, the attic, the basement or the barn. If you lived in Fla. that could have been a scorpion.

That must have been what happened, it hurt immediately after making contact. Had a feeling you could explain it. ;)
Believe me, I'll never leave my shoes outside again! It could have just as easily been a small copperhead, which are common around here.

[dixie sass]

I've got dsl lite through the phone company. If I drop it before the first of next year, I will have to pay a default fee.

[dixie sass]

The best kind, from the heart!

[dixie sass]

Ouch! Did the doctor know what caused it? Did you look and see if you could find anything on the web about it?
