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!

What if it were really true? What if you woke up one day and money really were no object? How would you change your life? Would your life change? Would it be better? Worse? Can money really buy happiness?
Let's *play like* today (and tomorrow) we can have absolutely anything in the world that money can buy. Money's no object. What would you buy? Pretend we've already saved the world with our vast wealth, and now we're ready to spend it foolishly and selfishly. :)

Would you buy a bigger house?

Perhaps your own private island...

How many of these would you own?

Vacation around the world
You have a summer home, a winter home, a beach house, a bungalow in the mountains.... You travel to exotic, faraway places and stay in nothing but 5 star hotels and resorts.
AND...of course, only the best tables... in the very finest restaurants will do.

"How I wish you *were* disgustingly rich!" Hey, I'm getting there! I'm getting there!
I just hope everyone can get past the "disgusting" part of it...

"IF I WERE A RICH MAN"
Now, you've done it!
It sings and sings in my head again!
[TEVYE, The Fiddler on the Roof]
"Dear God, you made many, many poor people.
I realize, of course, that it's no shame to be poor.
But it's no great honor either!
So, what would have been so terrible if I had a small fortune?"
If I were a rich man,
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man.
I wouldn't have to work hard.
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
If I were a biddy biddy rich,
Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man.
I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen,
Right in the middle of the town.
A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below.
There would be one long staircase just going up,
And one even longer coming down,
And one more leading nowhere, just for show.
I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese and ducks
For the town to see and hear.
And each loud "cheep" and "swaqwk" and "honk" and "quack"
Would land like a trumpet on the ear,
As if to say "Here lives a wealthy man."
If I were a rich man,
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man.
I wouldn't have to work hard.
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
If I were a biddy biddy rich,
Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man.

There's that pretty *green* post! You see why I said you'd get a kick out of today's thread.
But two cars, two maids, a private rail car and seeing the rest of USA - that's all?! :)

I didn't tell you which cars or even begin to describe the private rail car! I can't spell Lamborghini or Rolls Royce. :)
Still ..... I may think of 2 or 3 other things. A COTTAGE on the beach ..... maybe Monterey. Oh and another in Palm Springs, uhhhh, and another at Lake Tahoe.

It's oy-fficial!
A boisterous, openly gay Irish-American comic from Long Island has been tapped to play a devout Orthodox Jewish wife and mother living in a tiny Russian village in the smash Broadway revival of "Fiddler on the Roof."
As first reported by Page Six last week and made official yesterday, Rosie O'Donnell will join the cast of the award-winning musical, portraying Golde, the world-weary spouse of a boisterous and proud milkman.
Her husband, Tevye, is portrayed by Harvey Fierstein, who is also openly gay meaning two of the most high-profile homosexual entertainers in America are playing a straight married couple.
Jewish and gay groups reacted positively to the casting.
"The choice is based on Rosie's abilities as an actress. It's the sign of a world using merit as a way of choosing someone for a job," said Rabbi Steve Gutow, executive director of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs.
Glennda Testone of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation added:
"Rosie's a terrific actress, and I think Rosie and Harvey teaming up is exciting not only for people who can't wait to see these two openly gay icons on stage together, but also for anybody who loves great theater."
The Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregation of America issued a terse "no comment."
O'Donnell will begin her run Sept. 20 at the Minskoff Theater.
"As a 20-year friend of Rosie's, I couldn't be happier that we will finally share a stage together," Fierstein said in a statement.
"With her understanding of 'Fiddler's' important place in theatrical history, I am positive she will uphold that tradition excitingly."
With O'Donnell and Fierstein, both larger-than-life crowd-pleasers, in place, "Fiddler" is expected to get a much-needed boost at the box office. In recent weeks, the show had only been filling the theater to about 60 percent of its capacity.
Ticket sellers said yesterday that demand for the show has already started to increase with the announcement...

COMMENT: The marketing geniuses on Broadway have figured out they were trying to appeal to the wrong crowd. They'll pack the theater now. /sarc.

AhhhhhhRooooo!!
Have to leave, will be back later. Taking Mimsie to the vet for her check-up.
To: OESY
As far as I know, "The Fiddler on the Roof" never needed gay performers to pack theatre house before.
Oh well....

neat pix.. It looks like wrestling (did you win this round?) or was it practice
Is there significance in colors of outfits?
I am leaving in a bit - Kenny Loggins awaits (I guesd)

I'd train for probably 6-8 hours a day, 5 or 6 days a week for a while. Yeah, right!
It's hard work spending so much money you don't have to worry 'bout ever running out!! Gotta git in shape for that! [grin!]
