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!

Today we take an up close look at some of the rare and historic jewelry collection that's on display at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History.
Let's face it, none of us will ever have a jewelry collection as striking and large as this one but it's always fun to look!
The pictures and descriptions were taken from
the Smithsonian Gem & Mineral Collection Website.

A piece from Humblegunner's jewelry collection. :) The History Channel has been after me to let them do a special.
I'm holding out for Leonard Nimoy or Bruce Willis.
They suggested Eaker do the piece but nobody likes him so I stomped on that idea.

This from someone who came to my home in the impending path of a Cat 5 to loot ammunition and cat food. I'd like to see somebody else try it while the owners are home.

I slip by them easy, they don't have all their training yet.

Before she is ready to shoot we speed up to about 80mph and then slam on the brakes. Then she shoots. Sometimes the vector mechanics keep her on the roof.
Before anyone gets critical, yes she has been duct taped down!

In fact he's mad I'll be out of town when his charming and
well-spoken mother brings him to town for Thanksgiving.
He'd like to go shooting.

My daughter shows up to "pissin" matches with garden shears.
They don't last long.
She Rocks!
I pinged my wife, TheMom if she wants to brag.

TheMom passed along a little heritage did she! ;^)
If indeed this is the case, no wonder Eaker behaves himself!!
