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!

Hi Finest Friends... It's Pet Day at the Finest. Maggie (the Lovely LadyX) sent us some pictures with this fun idea in mind. Today we want you to "smile" along with some of our Furry Friends (and...sigh from Rusty and me (Giz) FredtheCat insisted we also feature some feline friends... oh well!). To add to your pleasure please click on this:

Smiles from our Furry Friends

SMILES

Verse:
Dear -ie, now I know just what makes me love you so,
Just what holds me and en -folds me in its gold -en glow;
Dear -ie, now I see 'tis each smile so bright and free,
For life's sad -ness turns to glad -ness when you smile on me;

Chorus:
There are smiles that make us hap -py,
There are smiles that make us blue;
There are smiles that steal a -way the tear -drops
As the sun -beams steal a -way the dew;
There are smiles that have a ten -der mean -ing
That the eyes of love a -lone may see,
And the smiles that fill my life with sun -shine
Are the smiles that you give to me.


Okay...sing-along time!!! (unless your freeping at work!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are smiles that make us hap -py,

There are smiles that make us blue;

There are smiles that steal a -way the tear -drops

As the sun -beams steal a -way the dew;

There are smiles that have a ten -der mean -ing

That the eyes of love a -lone may see,

And the smiles that fill my life with sun -shine

Are the smiles that you give to me.

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!! - Love - Giz and Friends

If you're lurking and having a typically "challenging" day there in Liberal Land, Pipster,

-- take a deep breath and let this fella help you 'bear' it --

[Pippin]

Looking good!

I wished I had a good picture of my mom and dad's dog, a black lab named Nikki.

Also wish I had the knowhow to get it posted here.

[smiley]

....THAT! is a keeper! Love it!

[Pippin]

Thanks!

He's cute!

[Darksheare]

My cat just wants me to sit still long enough for her to take down.
I sense her sneaking up on me, waiting for a chance to bite my ankles.

[LadyX]

Knew you'd come through with your happy faced doggies, Flyer.
We're so glad you walk the Finest halls more often these days!

[The Mayor]

I saw you were having problems..

No problem here, cute thread!

[Flyer]

I'm trying to rearrange my life so I can spend more time at home.

(See the site in my tag line)

[Mudboy Slim]

"Black" versus "White"

Heh heh heh...MUD

[Billie]

I am so sorry that domania was down AGAIN LAST NIGHT - TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW! :( Hope it's not going to be an ongoing thing.

This thread is so delightful! Listening to the midi as we look at those sweet, smiling faces - is there a person in the world who isn't touched by an animal? I don't want to meet them, if so. Thanks, dutchess, fred, giz, and rusty! You sure know how to make us smile. :)

[LadyX]

"I sense her sneaking up on me, waiting for a chance to bite my ankles."

Come on. Darks -- wise up and give her a dish of Fancy Feast and see if that helps win her over to the Dark Side...

"Tell her I'm packed and ready for
a Kitty Intervention, if she needs me --

[Darnright]

Spring has sprung, and that makes Glory a happy doggie!

[LadyX]

"I swear -- the first one who laughs at me
will deeply regret it" ..:((

(sigh...the things humans make you do --)

[LadyX]

Okay, beo -- I'm ready to ride!

[Diver Dave]

Smiling Critters Day at FR's Finest... can only bring out the smiles on we human critters.

Here's a pic of Jack and Bailey's cousin, Cooper (Christian's dog) attempting to smile for the camera. He's another Goldie.

[Billie]

Another of our old hostess graphics - these doggies are too cute not to post again. :)

[Billie]

So cute! Is that a Papillon?

[Darksheare]

I think Kearen Kitty is spoiled enough.
Here's here pic, all 24 pounds of her:

[DollyCali]

Good morning all.. Dutchess.. what a FUN thread... graphic me.. first thing I did was look a the pictures & my first thought was "they are all smiling!! Thank you for all the work. Sorry you had server problems again. By the time of my first post at end of month[catch that Billie? :) ]- it will hopefully be all fixed.

When you're smilin'....keep on smilin'

The whole world smiles with you

And when you're laughin'....keep on laughin'

The sun comes shinin' through

But when you're cryin'.... you bring on the rain

So stop your frownin'....be happy again

Cause when you're smilin'....keep on smilin'

The whole world smiles with you

Oh when you're smilin'....keep on smilin'

The whole world smiles with you

Ah when you're laughin'....keep on laughin'

The sun comes shinin' through

Now when you're cryin'.... you bring on the rain

So stop that sighin'....be happy again

Cause when you're smilin'....just keep on smilin'

And the whole world gonna smile with

The great big world will smile with

The whole wide world will smile with you

Meg.. good luck with kittens. It gets natural eventually. I have 3 liters going now (2 without mothers) and a very large, young kitten that wont get off my lap. I finally cut her claws as she kept holding on to me with her claws.. not fun!. She pulled one paw away & we cut too deeply. I do cat rescue & people drop pregnant cats off here all the time. Very time consuming, you are right.

After a long time on phone with my brother, it seems my computer will need a NEW hard drive.. as the one I hoped to use as well as the two back ups wont work. It is frustrating but with every problem I guess I am learning more.

Well, I don't have time at this point to transfer, load a new pix to the server I will include one of Oliver and me Kayaking here for the mix

and here is one from the WEIRD Wheelbarrow response thread from yesterday (one of the pancake on my head shots) This is basically what goes thru my mind as my brother explains bios, partitions, boot sequence and master drive booting..

[Billie]

Love that sweet smiling face on Gilligan.
