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. : )

OK, let me try that again! Gee, I'm rusty at this!
To: Mama_Bear; LadyX
I just KNOW TTM is going to criticize my post 16 on the grounds that I erred. But the truth is that he should criticize that post on the grounds I really should have gotten LadyX something more imaginative for her birthday than the familiar red square, green circle, and blue triangle. A well-worn gift in these parts . . . .

Where IS the T Man, anyway? I am sure I have wandered off the path of excellence, making one careless mistake after another. But, how would I know for sure without him here holding me to a higher standard? I miss his critiques. :-(

(I am posting just here for time convenience to those who pinged me from Amys & the Finest)
Thank you you all for your notes & for the prayers of FRiends to come later when I wont be here... she has led a good life & I know it is difficult to know how to pray. other than for peace for all with God's will.... I am off shortly..but wanted to share a pix from yesterday. I think I mentioned either here or at Amy's (at my advancing age it all gets fuzzy) that we had dinner & "got into it" over Terry. My one aunt lives in Pinellas Park not far from the hospice where Terry's battle was fought.
In the Pix it is ironic that the two conservatives.. my aunt & uncle from NY are on MY RIGHT and the libs on MY LEFT!.
my aunt Dotty who had the stroke is immediately to the right (for those that don't "know " me, I am in the middle.
Maggie, thank you for the sad story.. you are always so dear to share from your heart.. Ride I surely will remember your son.. Pippin Do we need to get you some new armor? I was at one of "those threads" the other day & find myself getting too upset. I stick mostly with Finest, Amy's, and the Dose now... HUGS TO ALL

" the familiar red square, green circle, and blue triangle. A well-worn gift in these parts . . . ." Why, Freezie, that is THE most thoughtful gift one can receive - I am so honored!!
It surely will gladden TTM's heart to see your generosity, parting with so precious a thing...:))

Thanks, (((DOLLY)))
That's what I'm fixing to do too!
Just stick to the DOSE and Amy's place and the Finest and the Hobbot Hole because the rest is just too upsetting and annoying.
You have a wonderful family and my prayers are for you and them.
May God Bless You!

"Where IS the T Man, anyway?"
Perhaps his heart has grown so cold than they are taking special medical steps to revive him. Oh, I hope not.

Kitty is fine - has come out of hiding to lie against my foot for protection!
Just happen to have come across your Wedding Photograph when you allowed me to help you organize the Bear Famiy Album the other day, and it is just lovely --

Good morning and afternoon to all the Finest on this Friday.
Wishing Miss LadyX a most Happy Birthday tomorrow ... ))))))))
I want to introduce you all to a new friend ... Mickey, my parent's new dog.
Their old and faithful hound dog, Barkley, made his journey to the Rainbow Bridge, a week before our journey to Ireland ... he'd gotten to where he couldn't walk anymore ... now, he's bouncing around chasing butterflies and tennis balls in Heaven.
The week after we got back from Ireland, a burglar sneaked through the doggie door and ransacked the house ... so, my brother gave Mom and Dad one of his labs.
Mickey is King of the Belly Rubs. He's a sweetheart. When I was home last week, we had good bonding time ... and he greeted me every morning with joy and his chew pillow in his mouth, ready to play.
We're buddies now.
I've finally got some pics up on the web of our visit to Ireland ... you're all invited to check them out at:

Hoping y'all have a grrrrrrrrreat weekend.

Thank you for the greeting, Johnny Mac, and for the update with the news about Barkley and Mickey.

Mickey is a handsome Lab. I am not in the least bit prejudiced you understand, but it is a fact that Labrador Retrievers are the BEST, SMARTEST, and MOST LOYAL dogs. And the Yellow ones are my favorite of the breed. Your parents will have a wonderful companion in Mickey for years to come.
Thank you for taking us on your trip to Ireland. Your photos are beautiful, and they are beautifully presented. I feel as if I have been there. One thing is for sure, I have got to go to Ireland someday. No doubt it will feel familiar - like home to me.
Seeing as how it is my 37th wedding anniversary today, I must take exception to one of your comments however...."Folsom Prison Blues....my own personal favorite wedding song". LOL!!! You are funny. :-)

Well, I guess I've suddenly become a bit partial to Labs, myself.
Am glad you enjoyed the trip to Ireland ... and caught the little bit about my favorite wedding song.
Happy Anniversary, Mrs. Bear ... )
