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!

ood morning, FRiends.   I have often wished I had a *generic* table to post on days when I'm short of time,   or low on creativity, and can't think of a theme or can't find the right graphics when I *have* a theme.   So, here it is - I made one - and you will probably see it again 'cause it just says WELCOME!

I'm calling it my "Ain't Got No Theme" (sorta)  or  "Ain't Got No Graphics" (sorta) table.  When you see it, you will know it's one or the other - or BOTH!   Do hope you'll stop in, have a cup of coffee, share your thoughts, pick a theme, post a picture, offer a suggestion for a future theme, offer to WRITE a future thread, or just wave as you drive by. :)

Can cold water clean dishes?

Can cold water clean dishes? This is for all the germ conscious folks that worry about using cold water to clean.

John went to visit his 90 year old grandfather in a very secluded, rural area of Georgia. After spending a great evening chatting the night away, John's grandfather prepared breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast. However, John noticed a film-like substance on his plate, and questioned his grandfather, asking, "Are these plates clean?"

His grandfather replied, "They're as clean as cold water can get them. Just you go ahead and finish your meal, Sonny!"

For lunch the old man made hamburgers. Again, John was concerned about the plates as his appeared to have tiny specks around the edge that looked like dried egg and asked, "Are you sure these plates are clean?"

Without looking up the old man said, "I told you before, Sonny, those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them. Now don't you fret, I don't want to hear another word about it!"

Later that afternoon, John was on his way to a nearby town and as he was leaving, his grandfather's dog started to growl, and wouldn't let him pass. John yelled and said, "Grandfather, your dog won't let me get to my car".

Without diverting his attention from the football game he was watching on TV, the old man shouted ..."COLDWATER, GO LAY DOWN!!!!"

Now, where are the donuts?

We're waiting for MamaBear to make them, too! :)

[Texagirl4W]

Good morning, Billie. I'm so glad you posted this as I agree with you 100%. I can't understand how there could be so many complaints about someone you don't know.

Love the opening today. (((Billie)))

[Mama_Bear]

We're waiting for MamaBear to make them, too! :)

That's what I figured! LOL

[Billie]

Thanks, dear sistah dolly for your cute post! Hope you enjoy your gorgeous Ohio day outside!

Posted this elsewhere but it is MY opinion of the nomination for SC Justice! (I think she will do fabulously in hearings AND ON SUPREME COURT) I will continue to trust our president

Oh, Dolly! A Pit Bull in Size 6 shoes! That is hilarious!

Good morning, Rose. I'm sorry I didn't get to hear the press conference. :( Thank you for this post - I guess I have missed the *bird flu*, too. I heard something about a new and deadly *dog flu* last week, but didn't know anything about the bird flu. :(

[Billie]

"Coldwater" is sooo cute; I would love to have one just like him.

Shhhhh - be careful what you wish for - he may be at your front door tomorrow! :)

[Billie]

This Coldwater sounds like our Rover-if given a chance! This post was too funny and a great way to start the day! Thanks, Billie!

Hi, chick - Coldwater looks like he could lick quite a few plates clean, doesn't he! I'm glad you likd the post. :)

[Billie]

Good morning, Miss Kitty! Are you getting lots of rest so you will feel all better? :)

[Billie]

OOPS! That is cute! Look at those scared eyes! :)

[LadyX]

"A Pit Bull in Size 6 shoes! That is hilarious!"

Billie, that is just one of GWB's descriptions of his nominee that has been broadcast!!
His sense of humor is greatly "misunderestimated' as you know..))

He also described her cross-examinea of witnessas as "better able to fillet than Mrs. Paul"..:))

[Billie]

That looks like *Free Cell* - I love that game! (Wonder if he won?) :)

[Billie]

Good morning, Billie. I'm so glad you posted this as I agree with you 100%. I can't understand how there could be so many complaints about someone you don't know. Love the opening today. (((Billie)))

Oh, thank you, Texagirl. I'm glad you liked the opening, and so glad you also feel the same way about all the complaints about Dubya's nominee. Actually, it wouldn't matter *who* he nominated, it would be the same thing. He can't do anything right in the eyes of the hateful dims and media - but it bothers me most to hear it from *our side*.

[Billie]

Taking a lunch break with Mr. B. Back later. :)

"Oh, Kitty Mittens - I shouldn't have done it..:("
