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!

To My Finest Friends....Love "the Giz"

A Dog Christmas Carol...(sung to Winter Wonderland)
(OK please don't take offense :o) ....it's a guy dog thing! ( and I'm the ultimate GUY DOG!)
Dog tags ring, are you listening'? In the lane, snow is glistenin'. It's yellow, NOT white I've been there tonight, Marking up my winter wonderland.

Smell that tree? That's my fragrance. It's a sign for wandering vagrants; Avoid where I pee, it's MY pro-per-ty! Marked up as my winter wonderland.
In the meadow dad will build a snowman, following the classical design. Then I'll lift my leg and let it go Man, So all the world will know that it's mine-mine-mine!
Straight from me to the fence post, flows my natural incense boast; Stay off my TURF, this small piece of earth, I marked it as my winter wonderland."


One reason I'm nicknamed "the terminater" Enjoy!!!..Love Rusty

O' Christmas Tree

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree How high up are your trimmings!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree How high up are your trimmings!
Before the pup, We trimmed your boughs Close to the floor, As space allows
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree How high up are your trimmings!
The balls aren’t glass, No tinsel yet.. After that last trip to the vet
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree How high up are your trimmings
Empty boxes, Wrapped carefully, Now barricade our Christmas tree
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree How high up are your trimmings!
When pup is grown We’ll trim with glee And have a normal Christmas tree
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree How high up are your trimmings!


Canines begone... For all our Feline Friends.. MEOW..... Love - FredtheCat

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

My cat is an old man compared to my brother's cat.
He's 18lbs of mother's dear baby. I've told a few
other people here how he won't eat unless I'm the
one feeding him. He also screams "mooommmyyy!"
at my door & headbutts while I'm trying to sleep
(I sleep with the door closed 'cause we have cats
that will destroy things & I have glass). Not quite
what I'd call demanding, but he is spoiled... a bit.

[Pippin]

AHA!

A spoiled kitty!

BTW, Why shouldn't I try Darks' coffe?

That bad?

[dixie sass]

Merry Christmas y'all. Thank you Billie! You are so much a part of daily life. I thank the Lord for everyone here at the "Finest"!

Darn, crying again - Look Maggie and Nan. Look what Billie did for us!!!!!!

[Pippin]

Hi, DS!

Merry Christmas!

[Darkchylde]

Unless you affectionately (or not so affectionately) call
your stomach "Ironsides", it's best not to tempt fate. He
explains his coffee very well, but he's not up yet. The best
I can say is "It's worse than NY city coffee & they double
brew theirs". I suppose you could track down someone
here who's tried it for a "survivor's analysis".

[dixie sass]

How precious! The Christmas Carols from Rusty and Gizmo where well received by Shadow. She even liked Fred's choice.
I love the thread.

Found out yesterday that I have to pay another $200 if I want to get a cat, so am saving up now. Shadow needs company and another dog would be just to much.

[dixie sass]

Oh my, what a pretty silkie shiny pup!

[dixie sass]

Oh what a beautiful cat! I want, nay, need the comfort of a cat!!!!

Hello dutchess:





That star atop the beautiful tree
Has been bugging me for days
All those lights and bulbs will be in the way
Though they'll keep me from being seen

As I work my way up limb by limb
Close to the center where they are not slim
Inching up higher and higher every hour
As I slowly conquer this Heavenly scented tower

Shiny ornaments will tinkle and tiny bells will jingle
As tinsel brushes and whisps across my fur
The branches are too weak to capture the trophy I seek
So, I'll just curl up close to the top and purr!


Jack Deth~ 12/21/05.

[dixie sass]

Merry Christmas Pippin!!!

[dixie sass]

Cool!!!!!

[dixie sass]

She is so pretty, bet she's purring in that picture!!

[dixie sass]

You mean he brews coffee where the spoon stands up straight? Or as my best friend put it "it's coffee that walks".

[Pippin]

I see! ;o)

[dixie sass]

Jack, the first year that Tinker Bell came to live with us, Momma and I decided to have a live tree which we could donate to Azalea Park after the season.

Tinker Bell, decided that she liked the tree. She would curl up at the botton and nap and watch the world outside the window go by. The next year we did the same thing but this time we has two youngsters, Sam and Murphy. Needless to say, their idea of happiness was climbing up and causing the tree to crash to the floor, lol, and then running and hiding. We lost quite a few glass bulbs that way, and eventually put the tree outside.

[Darkchylde]

It's actually a "he", but I won't hold that against you.
He decided to help me type, as he often does. So I
decided to get a pic of him while he was sitting still.
I have another pic, where he's sleeping on my bed.

[Darkchylde]

It walks, talks & steals your wallet.... or so he says.
I'm not a coffee drinker anyway, so I refuse to try it.

[Pippin]

Smart girl!

[Darkchylde]

If you'd like to take your life into your own hands, I'm
sure he'll tell you how to brew it. But you should have
a replacement coffee maker & pot, just in case.

[Pippin]

I'm not a coffee drinker!

So Darks can have all he wants, :o)
