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!

Smiles from our Furry Friends

SMILES

Verse:
Dear -ie, now I know just what makes me love you so,
Just what holds me and en -folds me in its gold -en glow;
Dear -ie, now I see 'tis each smile so bright and free,
For life's sad -ness turns to glad -ness when you smile on me;

Chorus:
There are smiles that make us hap -py,
There are smiles that make us blue;
There are smiles that steal a -way the tear -drops
As the sun -beams steal a -way the dew;
There are smiles that have a ten -der mean -ing
That the eyes of love a -lone may see,
And the smiles that fill my life with sun -shine
Are the smiles that you give to me.


Okay...sing-along time!!! (unless your freeping at work!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are smiles that make us hap -py,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are smiles that make us blue;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are smiles that steal a -way the tear -drops

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the sun -beams steal a -way the dew;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are smiles that have a ten -der mean -ing

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That the eyes of love a -lone may see,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And the smiles that fill my life with sun -shine

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Are the smiles that you give to me.

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!! - Love - Giz and Friends

Hi Earthdweller. Love that modest sunbather photo. Saving it for a future cat thread I'm planning!

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank you for this Cute Thread, Dutchess! I Hope to have a Pet Again Someday; I still Miss my Sweet Friend, the Fang-Face, who Departed the Earth Some Time Ago. :(

I Know what I would Like to have; a Few Days Ago, I Saw Some Dogs that were Miniture Schnauzers; Talk about Cute!!(And they have a Golden Price Tag, Lol!)

Hugs to you Dutchess, Sweet Maggie, and All the Finest!

P.S. Skimask, I Love your Kitties!

Hi Texagirl. Good to see you! Has spring sprung in Texas yet???

[dutchess]

Hi Amy! Lovely kitty pictures. This was originally going to be a kitty thread but the formatting monster got the best of me last night :o)

[dutchess]

Hi humblegunner. I was able to open the link but wasn't sure what I was looking for!!! :o)

"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence in their behalf." (George Orwell)

Great quote. And yes...God Bless our Troops.

[SheLion]

Hi SheLion. Bloomen looks like a great big baby. Love the remote!!! Good to see you!

That cat and I are 'joined at the hip.' LOL

Good seeing you too!!!!  I love seeing all the pets.  I love animals, anyway.  This is great!!

[dutchess]

Hi Kitty Mittens. I just smile every time you mention Fang-Face. That name is so cute. I'm sure you miss him/her?

Speaking of pure breads...I was watching the Westminster Dog Show the other day and absolutely fell in love with the pug that won his category. He was so darn ugly that he was cute :o)

[Lady Jag]

[Kitty Mittens]

Fang-Face was a Cute, Medium-Haired Black Kitty with a Beautiful Face and the Sweetest Personality. (Well, Except he wasn't Sweet to the Mice he Caught Daily! He was a Mostly-Outdoor Kitty, and an Expert Hunter.)

Pugs are Adorable, but, to me All Kitties and Dogs are Adorable, Lol! (As are Birds, Bunnies, and Even the Squirrels at my Little Ranch. I Love these Creations of our Lord that Bless our Lives!)

[Billie]

Never get tired of these adorable pet pictures, dutchess! Love the animals and all who post their own pets or other cute ones.

I've been waiting to post this sweet bulldog with the flag picture for the longest!

[humblegunner]

I was able to open the link but wasn't sure what I was looking for!!! :o)

It's supposed to be a clip of a kitty.. I guess it's broken somehow. :-(

[LadyX]

We love the pet threads, dutchess!
Have to go to the grocery store now, but will be back this evening...

{{{ Hugs to you both }}}
