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. : )

Some of those MRE's are pretty good.
Better than TRAYPAC at least.

[Gabz]

Thank you so much for sharing. God Bless Steve and his teammates.

[Kitty Mittens]

[Kitty Mittens]

The Secret Service has announced it is doubling its protection for
John Kerry. You can understand why - with two positions on every issue,
he has twice as many people mad at him." - Jay Leno

"We make jokes about it but the truth is this presidential election
really offers us a choice of two well-informed opposing positions on
every issue. OK, they both belong to John Kerry, but they're still there." -
JayLeno

"John Kerry will undergo surgery to repair his right shoulder. He
originally hurt it when he suddenly switched positions on Iraq."

"President Bush listed his income as $822,000. You know what John
Kerry calls someone who earns $822,000? Not even worth dating." - Jay Leno

"Well the good news for Democrats, now over half the country can
identify a picture of John Kerry. The bad news, the majority still thinks he's
the dad from 'The Munsters."' - Jay Leno

"John Kerry accused President Bush of catering to the rich. You know,
as opposed to John Kerry who just marries them." - Jay Leno

"They say John Kerry is the first Democratic presidential candidate in
history to raise $50 million in a three-month period. Actually, that's
nothing. He once raised $500 million with two words: 'I do.'" - Jay
Leno

Signs Your Cat Is Too Fat

Cat door retro-fitted with garage door opener.

Confused guests constantly mistaking him for a beanbag chair.

Fifteen month gestation period, and still no kittens.

No longer cleans self unless coated in Cheese Whiz.

Catfood dish replaced with a trough.

Luxurious, shiny black fur replaced with mint green polyester pantsuit.

It's no longer safe to lift him without a spotter.

She only catches mice that get trapped in her gravitational pull.

Has more chins than lives.

ATTENTION ALL AMERICANS

There are less than three months until the election, an election that will decide the next President of the United States. The man elected will be the president of ALL Americans, not just the Democrats or the Republicans.

To show our solidarity as Americans, let's all get together and show each other our support for the candidate of our choice. It's time that we all came together, Democrats and Republicans alike.

If you support the policies and character of President George W. Bush, please drive with your headlights 'ON' during the day.

If you support John Kerry, please drive with your headlights 'OFF' at night.

[The Mayor]

drive with your headlights 'OFF' at night.

I'll keep a sharp eye out for them, after all I live near Buffalo there is abt to be many kerry supporters..

[Aquamarine]

Hi Kitty just coming by to say good night.

IF I KNEW

If I knew it would be the last time That I'd see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute to stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right.

There will always be another day to say "I love you," And certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay." And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.

[Dubya]

Yea be careful of them. heh heh

[Kitty Mittens]

Sleep well, my friend, in God's Love. :)

[Kitty Mittens]

[Dubya]

I have missed you too.
Great picture.

[WVNan]

You are probably the only friend here this late. It's good to see you. Did you know that the Mothman Prophesies is on TNT tonight? That's the movie that is supposed to be about our hometown here in WV. Of course it doesn't even vagely resemble the true story. It has, however, made our town notorious and we attract the curious from all over the world now. Mostly weirdos.
