[MHGinTN]

Gal, how about collecting the entries and posting them together for folks just getting to the party.

[gonzo]

Egrets, I've had a few,
But then again,
Usually with Hot Sauce,
I've grilled, and barbequed,
And even pulled,
Those F-ing feathers off,

But still, until this day,
I used a noose,
Not in a kind way,
Oh no, oh no not me,
I did it my ... way

[Jim Robinson]

Money orders are fine.

Just send it to:

Free Republic, LLC

Thanks!

FREEPATHON GO-FOR-BARAK CONTEST!!!!!

ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!

Variety is the spice of Free Republic. We're adding a little spice to our contest, also. Tomorrow, a new groovy 4-line limerick will be posted. Your challenge will be to add your own 5th line and be a WINNER!

The new limerick will be in keeping with our theme of Go-For-Barak. You'll be able to vent and invent at the same time while you finish the verse!

Easy rules and prizes are posted on #'s 665 & 668 on this thread.

Our new freeper, reaganixonbush, is personally invited to participate in this contest and become a Rookie-of-the-Year winner! Wouldn't that be something? RNB, may we call you "Dutch"? LOL!

Watch this thread tomorrow for the new limerick. The first one is still sizzling. You still get two entries for limerick # one and two entries for the new one. Comprende?

See you some time tomorrow.....nitey, nite.

MinuteGal

[MinuteGal]

If I get some spare time, hah, I'll be happy to do so.

In the meantime, folks can review all entries to this contest which are posted and scattered from #668 forward.

Folks, the infinite variety will spark your little gray cells, and you'll be posting the dreaded 5th line before you know it.

Lots of fun to read them all. Such unsurpassed talent abounds in Freeper ranks!

[GitmoSailor]

Here is a little from the Past.

Please don't give up on Free Republic...................

[MinuteGal]

Gonzo....I'm so relieved you found your damn egret song. You've been whining and complaining about it being lost for years. Still has kept its charm, though......

Never mind inviting me over to your place this summer for wings and ribs, if you don't mind. I like feathers okay, but the rest.......

[GitmoSailor]

Good Night Crew!!!!!!!.......See you in the A.M................

When I had a dog, wasting food didn't bother me because she ate all the lousy stuff and even cleaned the floor.  I know what you mean, though.

Have you noticed Glycerna products near your Ensure?  Glucerna is well balanced with a good amt of protein and fiber.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

All my dogs have been very good floor cleaners... *s*

Yes, I have seen that name brand (Glycerna) in the same area. I never paid any attention to it -- but I will next week when I go to the store.  I'll read the label for protein stuff.  Never thought to do that.  Thank you for telling me of this product, hope it taste good -- I would of been stuck on Ensure and Boost for life.  I've never had any kind of nutrition/weight problems (or any other kinds of problems) before and I really appreciate your help.  Guess I'm just getting old...  I need to get out of my 'tunnel-vision' mode and wake up!!

Thank you for your help.
