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 200,000 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.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

Welcome to Warm Fuzzy Wednesday at the Finest. For those who start counting the days on Monday until the weekend, we're halfway there! So we're here to banish those doldrums and make you smile inside! Please feel free to post sweet graphics and/or little stories that make you feel all warm and fuzzy - or just come by and give us a smile. Only two more days 'til the weekend!

Oh. My. Gosh!

I just checked the archived "Search" function for our threads, and it appears to be working, and in order, again! It doesn't skip weeks at a time between pages! WOW! Don't know when John 'fixed' it, but it's good to know.

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank you, Sweet Billie! I did Take that Picture; there are So Many Silly Squirrels Around Here, and they are Pretty Tame and Let me Get Fairly Close to them Now, but I still have to Use my Zoom Lense. This is a Beautiful Day Today, and there are 7 Turtles All Lined Up in the King's Pond, Sunning themselves, Lol, and Several Ducks Swimming. I'm Thankful for these Blessings from our Lord's Good Hand.

[DollyCali]

John did a LOT of work a couple weeks ago & there was a thread posted on changes.. I noted that wonderful “fix” also.

Nothing lost! Maybe hard to find, but not lost

[DollyCali]

Just got 8 pix from John of our outing today with the 4 dogs (in time for Warm Fuzzy! even if late in day)

[luvie]

Go get ‘em!

I guess it’s over, so I hope you riled them up! You are very
brave!

This is my first baby, Spot. We had to put him down yesterday. He had multiple problems that we had been working on for close to a year. He was 11 years old and couldn't walk anymore.

I held him in my arms while they administered the medicine. My heart just broke when he relaxed into my arms. He will be missed. (Darn blurry screen. Happens every time I think of him).
