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!
~ Billie, Mama_Bear, dansangel, dutchess, Aquamarine ~

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

Good morning!

[lonestar]

All your pretty photos are almost as pretty as Rainbow Bridge--the perfect place to run and play. Between committee meetings.

Weinie

[LadyX]

Our Dear, Dear Weinie,

Miss you, and appreciate all the time you take to send us Previews of Things to Come from Up There.

You no doubt have met many of my Gone Before animals there...love and miss them still, too, and can hardly wait to have them line up to greet me by the Bridge One Phine Day...

We here at The Finest love you - and your Earth Mother.

[The Mayor]

My wife and I just bought tickets to The Passion of The Christ.
Wednesday night at 7:30..the 7pm show was sold out.
I think we all need to flood the theatres on opening night
to send hollyweird a message.
We refuse to watch you immoral crap anylonger.

Oh BTW, I will be reading Zell Millers speech to my Church Congregation tommorrow at 10 AM.

[Calpernia]

If you're not familiar with the work of Steven Wright, he's the guy who once said:

"I woke up one morning and all of my stuff had been

stolen and replaced by exact duplicates."

Here are a few more of his gems -- some you may have seen.

I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize

Borrow money from pessimists -- they don't expect it back.

Half the people you know are below average.

99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.

42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts

feel so good.

A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

All those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my hand.

The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I almost had a psychic girlfriend, but she left me before we met.

How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink

Everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.

Hard work pays off in the future; laziness pays off now.

I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.

If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

What happens if you get scared half to death twice?

My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."

Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.

To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.

The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.

The colder the x-ray table, the more of your body is required to be on it.

[knighthawk]

I love the spring. The smell of the plants is great. But it is still very cold here. But already lots of sun.

[lonestar]

LOL! Loved every one.

[Aquamarine]

Some sad news today....Spot, Bush's Dog Has Died

[LadyX]

Here is a picture of Spotty, the English Springer Spaniel,
with Mrs.Bush and Barney, the Scottish Terrier:

Imagine Weinie was on hand to welcome her!

[LadyX]

*** The LadyX is smiling because of The List ***

[dutchess]

Sad news about Spot. Prayers for our president.

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, this is sad news. But they have their adorable little bundle of energy, Barney, and the knowledge that they gave Spot about the best life a dog could ever ask for.

It's never easy losing a beloved pet, but I think having another to focus your attention upon makes it a bit easier, at least that has been my experience. They should get another Scotty. I just love those dogs!

[Mama_Bear]

Good afternoon, all. Just stopping by to say hello. Got lots of projects in the works this weekend.

Have a good one!

[Mama_Bear]

scotty.....make that 'Scottie' Dog. :-)

See you later.

[dutchess]

Hi Lori. Grill is ready to go! Can't wait!

[Mama_Bear]

LOL. I think I can actually smell it. ;-)

Enjoy, Sis.

[Mama_Bear]

Hi Cal. Thanks for the smiles. Those are good.

Nice to see you here today. :-)

[The Thin Man]

LOL.....those are hilarious!

[lonestar]

Millie was first in line to greet Spot.

You can rest assured Spot was met by all the Freepets at Rainbow Bridge.

Spot said she had a long talk with Barney before she left and he promised he to take care of Laura and Dubya.

Spot can't believe everybody up here didn't fly around on Air Force One and helicopters. Millie didn't know any better, either.

I'm going to play "second fiddle" to Millie until Spot learns her way around. That doesn't exactly come easy for me.

Thanks for the ping LadyX
hope you have a wonderful weekend
