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!

How precious we "creatures" big and small are. We bring fun, laughter and comfort to you, our human family and friends. . .. and yes . . . aggravation too! We hope you enjoy this weekly thread and also hope you will allow us the honor of featuring your special furry (or not so furry) FrPet on the Finest.

All Creatures Great and Small....
"I Goofed!!!!"

Happy Tuesday FR friends and FRPets. Gizmo here. I just returned from a two week vacation...visiting grandparents and relatives. Coming home...gosh Codee and FredtheCat demanded lots of attention....from ME and mom and dad. The plan was for a special profile today....BUT...the computer is acting up....Codee is acting up....FredtheCat is acting up and .....well...maybe I am too....SO....We've changed this thread to.....HOW DID YOUR PETS SPEND THEIR SUMMPER VACATION!!!!!!! Hope you stop in and visit and pay tribute to our very special friends....we're counting on the Finest Pets today...to tell us about THEIR summer vacations...never mind what you did...THEY are what counts! Please check in and tell us how YOU or your "family" spent their summer vacation!!!!

Hi Colleen...what great Lucy stories...She looks so much like "Dutchess", my namesake and our first baby when we got married. Give her a special treat from the Giz!

[dutchess]

Oh Molly...I didn't see your post about losing one of you special kitty's a few weeks back. She has joined many of our loved ones up at rainbow bridge. I'm sure it was a comfort that she went so peacefully....

[dutchess]

Hi mountaineer...Great to see you. What's up with the shootings in your area??? I've been kind of out of the loop...is there a clue???

[mountaineer]

I just posted the latest on the Charleston-area shootings here. It could be drug-related ... or maybe not.

[MeekOneGOP]

Here we go, my last shot !

New and improved (again - sounds like some laundry
detergents that have been around for 50 years, huh?)

Hmm? Maybe the previous one was better ? ...

Here it is ...

[Diver Dave]

Keep up the good ole guilt trips!p>I'm doing my best, Giz.

I've been practicing the "sad eyes routine" in front of the mirror. I think it's working. I got to go for a ride to the store and post office. :)

Hi back Billie. Hope you had a good one.

[Calpernia]

>>>>How is Weinie's campaign going? :)

Shhh, hot gossip, just between you and me....Do you believe that FR has a poll up about support for gov of CA? AND they didn't include Weinie! This is an outrage!

[dutchess]

Thanks for the link..hmmm...the news blitz here is another serial killer like DC (plus it's all GW's fault) Go figure...

[dutchess]

Looking good meekie...I'll need to study to see which one I like best. Looks like you're having fun! Can't wait to get my program.

[Calpernia]

Thanks dutchess. I think I'm actually going to look into getting a state wildlife license. From what I understand...I've been putting myself into 'fine situations' quite more than I realized. ;)

Is this Gizmo?

[FreeTheHostages]

Yes, yes, you're saying "hi" to me. I know, I know. What you're really saying is: "Freezie, are you going to be ready to do a website on your own next Tuesday?" I know, I know. This pressure is unbearable!! Dansangel, I'm trying to focus and overcome my Achilles heel -- graphics and The Thin Man -- she's obviously hounding me!!! Mama_bear, you're the veteran. How do I handle this kind of nagging?

She who is perfectly non-stressed about this HTML stuff,

Freezie

[MaryFromMichigan]

Sorry I kinda posted and ran this a.m.- I had to go to work....and the DENTIST. (ugh!)
Once I saw what the topic was about though, I just had to get Shelly's vacation pictures up!

[Aquamarine]

Shhh, hot gossip, just between you and me....Do you believe that FR has a poll up about support for gov of CA? AND they didn't include Weinie! This is an outrage!

I'm sure Weinie will get to the bottom of this!

[MeekOneGOP]

hehe ! Yeah, a little fun ... a little hair falling out, whatever, lol !!!

I am working with it, for sure ! ...

My buddy tells me that the software I got with my HP 318 Digital Camera can do some good stuff too, but I haven't played with it yet ...

[MeekOneGOP]

... and for making pics sized correctly and easily postable here, the PD software is great. It's simple and easy and fast for that. Adding text, cropping, borders all are easy too !!

[Calpernia]

You are right...he has been training to work 'under the table'

[lonestar]

You have mail.

Weinie

[Aquamarine]

Did you say 'under the table'?

[Calpernia]

I laughed my butt off yesterday(?) when I saw that. Did you take that? Did you really put your money in your dogs mouth and hope to retrieve it?

That one is GREAT!

(Weinie, first you accept ponies from jwfiv, now you take bribes? Gertie is not going to be able to keep spinning these deceitful tasks of yours!)
