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!

To Our FReeper FRiends: We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. We thought we'd kick back on the weekends and simply review the features of the week. If you missed seeing them and want to say hello there now, feel free to click on the link to that particular thread. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today and tomorrow, please feel free to do that also. One of us will always be around to see the welcome mat is still out, and maybe even put fresh flowers on the table. ~ Billie

I just love the zot alerts...The current group of admin. moderators clearly have a sense of humor as do all those dedicated freepers (Viking Kitties) searching out the "trolls" Love you guys...LOL!

[LadyX]

Greetings, dutchess - wasn't it you who had a computer virus recently, asking how to eradicate it?!

Beware of this one!

LOL

Dear Thin Man:

proboscis????

I know what that means....a long snout or nose!!! (okay...shucks I looked it up). Hoping that maybe I'll take this word to my 8:00 a.m. class tomorrow (WHEN I SHOULD BE SLEEPING) and the teacher will challange the word....look it up...realize I'm a genius and graduate me so I can return to the lifesyle that I've become accustom. (sleeping all day)

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely, (if the ploy works...it's back to Love,)

Gizmo :o)

[dutchess]

Nope it was Cal. Knock on wood...our problems have been mainly storm related. You both will have freepmail in a bit.

[dutchess]

One lad raised his hand and said, "Yes, but in those days there were only 13.

Cute. You always bring a smile at the Finest!

[dutchess]

Hi Lib. Have you recooperated from you big family croquet tournamnet food fest??? Enjoyed the after action report...sad when you see the "elders" getting older and not doing as well...we're going through that too. But it is so neat to keep the traditions alive and have all the generations involved.

[Dubya]

Your welcome. I'm glad you liked it.

[dutchess]

Been busy filling up humming bird feeders between posts.

Yikes....I've been so bad this late summer with my feeders....Time to go out and fill them...Thanks for the "nudge"!

[dutchess]

Yes!!! Coffee IS good for us! Looking forward to your steaming cup tomorrow when we start another week Russ!

[LadyX]

Aren't you and Aeronaut in Minnesota, T-Man?

Understand you had 90+ temperatures today - -
here in South Carolina, it got up to 70!!

Crazy weather this year - no doubt due to algore's global 'warming.'
It has been the coolest, nicest one I can remember....

[dutchess]

I just love the Viking Kittie's Club and the Zots....It makes life so much more enjoyable here LOL!

[TexasCowboy]

"Hey ..... David Carr (Fresno State) and the Texans just beat the Miami Dolphins in Miami 21/20!!"

I never had a doubt!

[Aeronaut]

Understand you had 90+ temperatures today -

I have 96 right now (4:25 PM Central Daylight time)

[The Thin Man]

Hi Gizmo! As a dog I'm sure you can appreciate the value of a good proboscis.

Good luck at spelling school. You might want to start with "challange."

Say hi to dutchess for me :-)

Really, I didn't know that, lol. For the last several hours I've been cooped up watching football. Maybe I should get out?

[dutchess]

From Giz:

Challange= oops =challenge....

Okay...were you a teacher prior to your Freeper life????

Serious Math Problem

Little Zachary, a Jewish kid, was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything: tutors, mentors, flash cards, special learning centers; in short, verything they could think of to help his math.

Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Zachary down and enrolled him in the local Catholic school. After the first day, little Zachary came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn't even kiss his mother hello.
Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Zachary was hard at work. His mother was amazed. She called him down to dinner. To her shock,
the minute he was done, he marched back to his room without a word, and in no time, he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day, while the mother tried to understand what made
all the difference. Finally, little Zachary brought home his report card. He quietly laid it on the table, went up to his room and hit the books. With great trepidation, his Mom looked at it and to her great surprise, little
Zachary got an "A" in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity. She went to his room and said, "Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?" Little Zachary
looked at her and shook his head, no. "Well, then," she replied, was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms? WHAT WAS IT?"

Little Zachary looked at her and said, "Well, on the first day of school when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around."
