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!

~ Billie, Mama_Bear, Dutchess, Aquamarine, DollyCali ~







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. : )

Well then, mission accomplished. :-) SMOOOOOOOOCH!!

I need to go and get The Chach registered for his "puppy head start" class at PetsMart. Speaking of The Chach, here is a recent photo of the little guy mouthing off at my son's new puppy, Belle.

TTYL, wolfie.

*grin*

Don't tell anyone. We don't usually keep all the strays but we let this one slip into our lives. It is difficult living in the country and seeing the dumped strays. Usually we get a female who is expecting.

Our son is here today. He was working in my yard and I heard him yelling at Junior to get out of the road and come back in the yard. Junior goes in and out of the back yard as he pleases. He just squeezes under the gate.

How's the campaign going, Rus? I've away and feel as though I lost all touch with what has been happening. Be sure to ping me to any election photos/news, okay?

Training is as hard on the owner as it is for the puppy. Been there done that. : )

Bossy....like his mama. LOL

He's growing, isn't he? Or is it just the *ears*?LOL

He's a handsome little dude, and Belle is a beauty. : )

Later.

That's so sad. Wouldn't you like to get hold of a freak that would do something like that?

Junior goes in and out of the back yard as he pleases. He just squeezes under the gate.

Nail a board across the bottom of it about 3inches from the ground.

To: Lakeside; JustAmy; The Mayor; tuliptree76; All
Thank you kindly, and nice to meet you.

In the interest of fairness, I'm adding a cat haiku, lol. I love cats and dogs.

You never feed me.
Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
That will sure show you.

I need a new toy.
Tail of black dog keeps good time.
Pounce! Good dog! Good dog!

The rule for today:
Touch my tail, I shred your hand.
New rule tomorrow.

In deep sleep hear sound;
Cat vomit hairball somewhere.
Will find in morning.

Grace personified,
I leap into the window.
I meant to do that.

Blur of motion. then--
Silence, me, a paper bag.
What is so funny?

The mighty hunter
Returns with gifts of plump birds--
Your foot just squashed one.

You're always typing.
Well, let's see you ignore my
sitting on your hands.

My small cardboard box.
You cannot see me if I
can just hide my head.

Kitty like plastic.
Confuses for litter box.
Don't leave tarp around.

Small brave carnivores
Kill pine cones and mosquitoes
Fear vacuum cleaner

Want to trim my claws?
Don't even think about it!
My yelps will wake dead.

I want to be close
To you. Can I fit my head
Inside your armpit?

Wanna go outside.
Oh, no! Help! I got outside!
Let me back inside!

Humans are so strange.
Mine lies still in bed, then screams!
My claws aren't that sharp. . .

Cats meow out of angst
"Thumbs! If only we had thumbs!
We could break so much!"

Litter box not here.
You must have moved it again.
I'll poop in the sink.

Thanks Amy. Glad you liked the haiku.

I know, LouieMax is big, but he looks like a really nice, loving dog.

Marissa is as pretty as usual.

Hi Cuz, there has been alot going on with the campaign, I had my petitions challenged, we were not allowed to participate in a local parade. We made an agreement with the locals not to handout any literature but my opponents did anyway, blah, blah, blah..

We are staying on the high road. Primary is just weeks away, sept 13th.

Toughest part is raising enough money to do what needs to be done. Mailings are the focus now till that day.

I have gotten the endorsements of some local big hitters but no parties, I wouldn't want them anyway. They are all corrupt and are only out to keep things as they are, status quo, politics as usaul.
