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!

Kids Say The Darndest Things!

Most grade school teachers agree that kids say the darndest things. Here are some examples:

The future of "I give" is "I take."

The parts of speech are lungs and air.

The inhabitants of Moscow are called Mosqitoes.

A census taker is man who goes from house to house increasing the population.

Define H2O and CO2. H2O is hot water and CO2 is cold water.

A virgin forest is a forest where the hand of man has never set foot.

The general direction of the Alps is straight up.

A city purifies its water supply by filtering the water then forcing it through an aviator.

Most of the houses in France are made of plaster of Paris.

The people who followed the Lord were called the 12 oppossums.

The spinal column is a long bunch of bones.

The head sits on the top and you sit on the bottom.

We do not raise silk worms in the United States, because we get our silk from rayon. He is a larger worm and gives more silk.

One of the main causes of dust is janitors.

A scout obeys all to whom obedience is due and respects all duly constipated authorities.

One by-product of raising cattle is calves.

To prevent head colds, use an agonizer to spray into the nose until it drips into the throat.

The four seasons are salt, pepper, mustard and vinegar.

The climate is hottest next to the Creator.

Oliver Cromwell had a large red nose, but under it were deeply religious feelings.

The word trousers is an uncommon noun because it is singular at the top and plural at the bottom.

Syntax is all the money collected at the church from sinners.

The blood circulates through the body by flowing down one leg and up the other.

In spring, the salmon swim upstream to spoon.

Iron was discovered because someone smelt it.

In the middle of the 18th century, all the morons moved to Utah.

A person should take a bath once in the summer, not so often in the winter

Out of the mouth of babes! Have a GREAT Thursday...feel free to share special stories (AND pictures of the little ones in your life) ...and thanks for stopping in at the FINEST!

[dutchess]

Hi Sistah. Glad you like it. Can't believe I created a background ALL BY MYSELF! Glad I stuck with it. Will freepmail you in a bit as I'm just able to get here (P.S. the kids LOVED the plane rides!)

[dutchess]

Those are hysterical Victoria! Thanks for posting them.

Yesterday I kissed a girl in a private place...We were behind a tree

ROTFLMAO!!!!

[dutchess]

Thanks for stopping in at the Finest. Hope you're having a great day!

[dutchess]

I don't look like my mother OR my father. I look like the mailman!

LOL....how embarassing!!!!

[dutchess]

Hi Geebee. Glad you like it. I found those quotes over a year ago and "rediscovered" them in my saved documents :o)

[MozartLover]

Thank you. I will pass that along.

Yesterday I received a "belated" birthday gift from him..........the flag that was flown over his base camp on the day my birthday, along with a certificate of authenticity, a certificate of appreciation for supporting the troops, and 5 pictures of him, including 2 of him standing next to the flagpole on the day of my birthday, under the very flag which I was now holding in my hands.

Made me cry, it did.:)

[dutchess]

Hi sistah. What a darling picture of Judge Robert's son. What a pistol! (and that's how I feel half the time :o)

[dutchess]

Oh and what lovely pictures of the grandkids! You must be one proud grandma!

[dutchess]

Very good devotional today. As always thanks for posting it every day!

[dutchess]

Sometimes kids tell it better than adults.

Yes the do don't they???? So how's the furry one???

[dutchess]

Hi Luv. Good to see you!

[dutchess]

"But, Mommy - I CAN'T KNOW HOW TO TRY TO!!"

Very Cute!!!! ((((maggie)))))

[dutchess]

His sweet answer was:"To get to You!"

Oh that is so sweet purple. Thanks for "sharing"!

[dutchess]

Lovely grandkids Lori. I didn't realize you had three! (where have I been!)

[dutchess]

A couple of weeks ago, PrissyMissy asked me "Why does Grampa have fur on his chest?"

I can just picture her saying that LOL! Actually I can still picture her rapping in the car on the way home from the zoo. Bet LOTS of cute things come out of her darling little mouth!

[dutchess]

Hollering out again, he said, "Never mind, Nanny. Poppy knows how to read it."

Oh Dave...that is so cute! Bet you were were grinning ear to ear!

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, that is a wonderful gift! Having it flown on your birthday and having the pictures of him next to the flag pole make it really special.

My nephew (freeper Scubachick's husband) who was stationed in Balad gave us a flag and a certificate for Christmas that was flown in Iraq on October 5th. Ours was flown on a reconnaissance mission. We got all choked up too. It was the most special gift we got this Christmas.

[dutchess]

Hi MozartLover. Long time no see! I still think of you every time I listen to the LesMis soundtrack :o) Prayers for you son and dittos what Mama_bear said...thank him for his service to our country!

[Mama_Bear]

Lovely grandkids Lori. I didn't realize you had three! (where have I been!)

Well, technically, you are right. I have two. Tanya is my step-granddaughter who I have come to love dearly ever since she came into our family a couple years ago. I always wanted a granddaughter and she is just the sweetest thing. Couldn't have ended up with a better one if I had hand-picked her. :-)

God Bless Our Military
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Dutchess, The Mayor, DollyCali or GodBlessUSA and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
