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!

Being 8 Years Old Again

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old again.

• I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant.
• I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks.
• I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them.
• I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day.
• I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.
• I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good.
• I want to believe that anything is possible.
• I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again.
• I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones.
• I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow.

So, here's my checkbook and my car-keys, my credit card bills and my 401K statements. I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, 'cause...

"Tag! You're it!"

And have a wonderful Wednesday!

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest The guy's good, folks!

[Billie]

P.S. Love the color of your backgrounds. :)

Looks Like the color of that dress I wore last weekend. :)

[luvie]

Because SHE paid real attention to the instructions, unlike me! LOL!

[Mama_Bear]

Have left frozen pizza in over 3 hours. You can imagine how "interesting" that was.

LOL! Sure can. Bet it didn't even resemble a pizza after 3 hours.

[Mama_Bear]

I've copied your recipe. It sounds yummy. I love anything with cheese in it, on it, or under it. LOL

[Billie]

LOL - guess I never knew I was *color-blind*!

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, this is fun, a sing-a-long! I am so happy to see everyone having a good time. That's what today's thread is about. :-)

[Aquamarine]

It's a good color. :)

Now you're going to need to post that picture here.

[Socratic]

Thank you, Billie!

Hi, Sis. Wasn't that a pretty picture of Billie? Blue is her color. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

P.S. Love the color of your backgrounds. :)

Thank you. I love blue, all different shades. But I don't have it in my home and I don't wear it often. Maybe that's why I so often use blue in my backgrounds. I have to force myself to vary my backgrounds so I don't stay with the same color combinations.

[Aquamarine]

The picture of her and suit were gorgeous.

[Billie]

Darn it! I'm still trying to take that color test! LOL! I'm either not bright enough or not quick enough! Still only 25% the second time I took it!

[Aquamarine]

That's funny because I never wear red nor have it in my home but use it often in my Posts.

[luvie]

I got 100% the second time--but I actualy read the instructions instead of thinking I had! LOL!

[Billie]

I have red *somewhere* in every room of my house - different shades - cranberryish mostly, and I do wear red often and I think I use red a lot in my posts!

Most people, I've found, wear blue very well - there's that bright blue (like Barbara Bush wears) that looks great on everyone!

[Billie]

Hmmmmm, then I guess I'm just going to take that silly test until I get it right! This will not do!!!! LOL

[anonymoussierra]

:}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

thank you all good persons

[Mama_Bear]

Darn it! I'm still trying to take that color test! LOL! I'm either not bright enough or not quick enough! Still only 25% the second time I took it!

LOL. I didn't take it again. I didn't want to know if I'm not bright enough or quick enough. I took an internet IQ test once and did surprisingly well in all categories except logic. I scored horrible on that section and obsessed over it for months. It's better if I don't take the tests at all.

[Aquamarine]

I do have some burgundy color in my house but no red, don't plant red flowers either.
Wear too much blue.
