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!

Welcome Finest Friends. JohnHuang2 has a much needed week off so we decided it was time for a little pet humor repeat of what our furry friends might say to God. Please feel free to share your furry friends stories, jokes OR the obligatory "show off your furry friend" pictures!!!! ENJOY!

DEAR GOD FROM THE DOG

Dear God, When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it the same old story?

Dear God, Why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not ONE named for a dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around? We dogs love a nice ride! Would it be so hard to rename the 'Chrysler Eagle' the 'Chrysler Beagle'?

Dear God, If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog?

Dear God, We dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent ID's, electromagnetic energy fields, and Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?

Dear God, More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.

Dear God, Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom if ever, smell one another?

Dear God, When we get to the Pearly Gates, do we have to shake a paw to get in?

Dear God, Why do my owners go to the bathroom in the best freshwater bowl in the house?

Dear God, Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?

Dear God, Let me give you a list of a few things I must remember to be a good dog :

I will not eat the cats' food before they eat it, or after they throw it up.

I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just because I like the way they smell.

The sofa is not a face towel; neither are Mom and Dad's laps.

The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.

My head does not belong in the refrigerator.

I will not bite the officer's hand when he reaches in for Mom's driver's license and registration.

I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.

Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is not an acceptable way of saying 'hello.'

I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm lying under the coffee table.

I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house.

I will not throw up in the car.

I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt across the carpet.

The cat is not a squeaky toy; so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it's usually not a good thing.

And finally...Dear God from the Cat

Dear God, in case I haven't said so....thanks for finding us such special homes on earth especially for those of us lucky to live with Freepers. Life is good! MEOW!!!!

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

Have your noticed that your computer monitor, after a few years of use is not as clear as it was when new? Well, that's because electrostatic charges cause micro-etching on the interior surface of the glass which can degrade the picture quality.

As a result you end up straining your vision and visual acuity can suffer... BUT...

GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to MICROSOFT this process is REVERSIBLE thanks to a brand new JUST INTRODUCED PROGRAM that "cleans" the inside of the screen!!!!!!

The process takes LESS THAN 30 SECONDS, and the difference is IMMEDIATELY NOTICEABLE!!!!!

Just Scroll down and let this program do the work

Adorable thread, Dutchess. Thank you.

I've been kinda AWOL lately and I've missed everyone!!

[JustAmy]

If a dog was the teacher, you would learn stuff like:

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.

When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.



Let others know when they've invaded your territory.



Take naps.

Stretch before rising.

Run, romp, and play daily



Thrive on attention and let people touch you.



Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.



On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.

When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.



No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout..! run right back and make friends.



Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.



Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not.

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.



I AM THANKFUL FOR TOO MUCH E-MAIL BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE SOMETHING TO SHARE WITH FRIENDS LIKE YOU!

"...I've missed everyone!!"

I'm hoping things get back to near normal soon. And that first grade homework is not too tough. ;)

I do try to check in on the thread every day but hate to post and run so I just lurk.

[Majie Purple]

HUGs to you Wolf*

[Wolfstar]

LOL! I think it's safe to say that 1st grade homework is a sinch!
Understand about the "just lurk" reasons.
But miss ya inbeteen posts...just know that.
How was your vacation? Where did you go?
(If you don't mind my asking...answer or not...

[Majie Purple]

I spelled that word beforelike I was in 1st grade, LOL!

[JustAmy]

We visited relatives. First my Aunt and her husband in Oregon and then my brother in Idaho.

We had a nice time but didn't really have much time for sightseeing.

We took Amtrak one way to Eugene where we rented a car. We returned the car to a Fresno location.

Since getting home, in addition to getting Marissa ready for school, I've been working on the FReeRepublic picnic and 10th anniversary celebration. Why don't you plan to come to Fresno September 8th and 9th? It'll be fun!!

[Majie Purple]

Thank you Meg & you're welcome!
I enjoy every one of your posts
for different reasons.
Thanks for each & every one.
& for each & every ping.

[JustAmy]

LOL

I have to pick Marissa up today and then run an errand. I hope to get back before everyone leaves. :)

Hope you're having a great day, Majie.

[Majie Purple]
