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, Sistah! Didn't see you here when I posted the Florida voting machine pic just now!

[LadyX]

The Finest Gallery seconds the motion of Miss Billie to pray for you for your surgery tomorrow, and rapid healing afterward.

Hi, Sistah! Didn't see you here when I posted the Florida voting machine pic just now!

Hi (((Billie))) that is too funny!

Just got here and am leaving again to meet my family for a cookout...wish me luck! ;)

[LadyX]

Loved the voting machine graphic, and am sending it to my two sons in Florida - plus a few others from/who live there..:))

[MeekOneGOP]

haha !

"Florida is ready for 2004" .....

If only it were true. I expect more 'RAT voter fraud there and everywhere.
Freepers will catch 'em and smack 'em though, I bet !

Will be thinking of you tomorrow and saying a prayer all goes well with
your surgery, Texagirl. Hugs!

Amen!

** Gotta Luv Life in a Small Town in The South **
~ Sunday Feel Good Story ~

In the Wednesday weekly newspaper here, was a nice story about Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart??

Yes - an employee in our Super Wal-Mart Garden Shop kept hearing a constant whining sound - cries for help.
Investigation by the employees there discovered the cries were coming from a storm drain outside, called friends from the City, and a rescue squad responded.
((Compassionate Conservatives abound here..:))
They labored for 30 minutes in the storm drain before successfully bringing out two mixed-breed puppies.

The woman employee happened to have recently had to give away her two Rottweilers, and promptly adopted the two darling little puppies (picture in paper).

New names??
You should have guessed -- "Wal" and "Mart." ..:))

There ya have the latest from Maggie Malone,
happily imbedded in the Deep South...

[Diver Dave]

"Wal" and "Mart."

It worked, Miss Maggie.
Ya got me feelin' good.
Beautiful ocean graphic, too, BTW.
Trusting the Lord to Bless your socks of today.
Chores are calling me and I'd best get busy before it gets too hot.

[LadyX]

Also in our newspaper was a message from the Police department, pointing out "leaving children in a vehicle unattended is not only very dangerous, but it is a criminal offense."

If you see a child left unattended in a vehicle, call 911 immediately.

The City of Barnwell Police Department responds to numerous calls each year where children are left in a vehicle while the parent or caretaker goes into a business.

It goes on to point out the special danger during summer months, with severe damage or death quickly probable - the possibility of the child putting the car in gear, and of abduction by car thieves.

Nuther Thing

Bet you'd appreciate the photograph of the grinning man and his two sons, holding up the 10 lb. largemouth bass he caught in the 95-acre lake near downtown --- I lived 2 1/2 years right on that lake, complete with the resident 4 alligators..:))

[Kitty Mittens]

Wonderful devotional Mayor! I love to praise our King and our God, especially on a lovely Lord's Day like this one!

[Diver Dave]

ooops!
...socks off today.
darned letter thief

[LadyX]

"ooops!
...socks off today.
darned letter thief"

Boy, what nerve he has, Dave - - saw your original post and thought,
"What - the 'f'??" ..:))" is gone"?!!!

Sneaky fellow, he is - - reckon he one day will spill out all of his stolen letters (minus the ones he has erroneously inserted in our wurdz) in something absolutely brilliant, and be published?

[MeekOneGOP]

New names?? You should have guessed -- "Wal" and "Mart." ..:))

LOL ! What a great story, too !! :^D

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi everyone, I think this is a nice graphic as well..

Many people will walk in and out of your life,
but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.
