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!)

THIS WEEK'S THREADS 02-13-06 Military Monday 02-14-06 Valentine's Day at the Finest

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

[dutchess]

Thanks meg. Great Zot history. Didn't realize it was going on for so long.

[dutchess]

Lovely picture. A grandson???? BTW...notice you "hicupped" but had #79 removed. I've been having a hard time posting on and off too. Think there's a lot of activity due to the VicePresident's interview on NOW!

[MEG33]

No..I just found it and thought it was sweet. As for the posting errors..I am the one who is running slow!

[Lady Jag]

Ugh, I understand. Have asthma and woke up today with nose out-producing Niagara.

Here, borrow my respiration therapist...

Now...breathe....

[MEG33]

LOL!

Way off topic..Just too cute ! Laura Bush recently visited the Zoo.

I think Lori made a pledge graphic with it, didn't you, Lori?

No, Billie, it wasn't me. Maybe it was Aqua? I remember seeing it as a pledge graphic too. It is an adorable photo.

Dutchess, Chachi just loves these pet threads! Gives him a chance to show off. LOL.

Now he thinks he should have a "TD" after his name ..... "Therapy Dog" - "Chachi, TD" - (he made that up) because he goes over to the assisted living center where his grandma lives and cheers her up, along with the other residents that he comes across on the way in. We were watching the Westminster Dog Show last night and they had a nice segment about therapy dogs and the great job they do relating to hospitalized children. Chachi started out wanting to be a "junk yard dog", but he has decided that he probably will never be fierce enough, and besides, he thinks being a therapy dog is much more rewarding ( ie: more treats) - and it looks better than "JYD" after his name. ;-)

[MEG33]

Precious pictures..Pets are wonderful therapy for folks of all ages!

[Mama_Bear]

Pets are wonderful therapy for folks of all ages!

That is so true. I just can't get over how my husband's mother perks up when she see Chachi. She has never been what I would call a "dog person", but she sure seems to enjoy Chachi's visits.

[GodBlessUSA]

Good evening :) Here's a picture of my side kick. This is not the best shot of her but it is handy. I don't recall if I posted her picture before. :)

[Mama_Bear]

Awwwwww......she is a sweet looking girl. What is her name?

[GodBlessUSA]

Chachi is adorable! Looks like Grandma spoils Chachi :)

[Mama_Bear]

Looks like Grandma spoils Chachi :)

Yep. Everybody does. All he has to do is his "sit pretty", and he gets whatever he wants.

[GodBlessUSA]

We named her Autumn and we call her Audy. We got her in fall and she has brindle coloring. Hubby nicked named her Murph for Audie Murphy. I have a nickname for her too. She too many nick names, LOL. She comes by all of them. :)

[GodBlessUSA]

I can see he is talented from those pictures too. There was a therapy dog where I got Audy. So sweet and lovable. What an amazing difference a sweet dog can make for someone in need of comfort, so incredible.

[Mama_Bear]

She too many nick names, LOL. She comes by all of them. :)

LOL. That is the same with Chachi....he comes to Chachi, Chach, Baby Dog, Sweet Pea, Darlin'. My mother told me that the poor dog was never going to know his name if we didn't settle on one of them and stick with it. But, like your dog, he comes to any name we call him - because he always thinks there could be a treat involved. LOL.

[Mama_Bear]

I can see he is talented from those pictures too.

Well, he certainly thinks he is. ;-)

[GodBlessUSA]

Your mom is funny. LOL, That makes me feel better that my dog isn't the only pup with so many names. :)

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, that is a cute photo! I also enjoyed seeing Mrs. D with her Valentines gift yesterday. What a guy she married!!
