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!

Puppies? You want puppies??? I got yer puppies right here. ;-)

[Mama_Bear]

Found a kitty last weekend but Mrsdd says I couldn't keep it...

But it's such a pretty striped kitty. :-(

[MEG33]

That ought to do it! How cute!

[Mama_Bear]

Aren’t they sweet? I have to wonder how the photographer got them all to line up like that. We photograph a lot of family pets, and there are tricks to getting them to stay where you want them, but getting that many puppies in one place at one time must have been difficult.

[Mama_Bear]

Now that I look at the picture a little closer, I think it may have been “photoshopped”. Whoever did it did a good job on it though.

[Mama_Bear]

Yep, now I see that it was definitely photoshopped. A couple areas are kind of rough, but still, they are adorable puppies and just what Weinie ordered, I think. ;-)

Morning Gee Bee & everyone else! Two day thread as JH2 wont be with us today.

In the interest of sharing my pix but NOT violating the NO big pix rules at this thread, I will just post a link of pix I posted elsewhere of my hike with Josy & Toby on Tuesday. I frankly dont have time at this point to reduce & play with graphics.. Life is pretty complicated.

Moody Artwork

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: 1 Peter 3:8-12

Be tenderhearted, be courteous. —1 Peter 3:8

British and American computer scientists have created artwork that changes according to how the viewer feels. The computer program analyzes the position and shape of the mouth, the angle of the brows, the openness of the eyes, and five other facial features to determine the viewer’s emotional state. The artwork then alters, based on the viewer’s mood. If joy is seen on the face, the artwork will show up in bright colors. If there’s a scowl, the image will become dark and somber.

Our moods can also affect the people around us—our family, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances. Our life touches people, whether for good or bad. Each person is responsible for his or her own reaction to us, of course. Yet the way we behave makes a difference in others’ lives.

The apostle Peter encouraged us to have compassion for others, to love, to be tenderhearted and courteous, and not to return evil for evil but rather blessing (1 Peter 3:8-9). Following his instructions may be difficult for us on a day when we feel cranky. By depending on the Holy Spirit, we can have a positive impact on everyone we meet—even if all we do is smile or listen.

Let’s paint our world in bright colors today.

My life will touch a dozen lives
Before this day is done,
Leave countless marks for good or ill
Before the setting sun. —Anon.

A heart touched by grace brings joy to the face. Bible in One Year: 2 Samuel 4–6; Proverbs 14:1-11

I have a dachshund terrier mix. She's the best. She has most dachshund traits. She has those sweet lovable eyes of a dachshund. :) I hope this picture is light enough to see her.

Good Morning Mama_Bear :)
How's Chachi doing?

Are your roses starting to bloom? Mine are all leafed out. Time to fertilize for blooms. :)

Have a terrific day!

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Morning The Mayor :)
Rainy day here but we can use the rain.

It's been hectic here lately and another hectic day ahead. Let’s paint our world in bright colors today . So I will think this way. :) Thanks so very much! Have a great day!

[GodBlessUSA]

LOL! Look at them all. Too cute. ;)

[The Mayor]

You are getting what we had late yesterday and last night. It is cloudy and gloomy here but is supposed to clear up later.

Enjoy your day, I have to get on a roof.

[GodBlessUSA]

Careful on that roof, especially after rain. It's suppose to clear up here by Sat. I sure hope so. Lots of honey dos this weekend. LOL

Thanks! Enjoy your day!

[DollyCali]

I have to get on a roof also today Rus. I have some guttering that is off/hanging & part of my roof repair from last fall is needing some repair

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Awwwww...

I have a friend who owns a dog like that, I should send her a link to this. I was just telling her the other day that I hardly ever see butterflies anymore, could they be going the same way as the bees?

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning, GeeBee and friends. Chachi is doing great and yes, my roses have already seen their first flush and are starting to bud out again. Looks like it will be a good year for roses here. Last year they just did 'okay'.

Wishing a fabulous day to the Finest!

[Mama_Bear]

She is beautiful!! What an adorable sweet face she has!
