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

My sister-in-law has two - one is probably about that age - the other one older. The little one is colored like that - the older black and white. The young one can almost *talk*!

[Billie]

Buddy, Buddy, Buddy......Angel dog. :)

[Billie]

Oops! I mis-read the age of Glory. I was thinking *2* years. :)

[Billie]

>^..^<

This is my little kitty to all of you. He says that he loves the pictures today and hopes that you all have a great day.

Well, your little kitty is a sweet little kitty. :) Hope your day is super, too, and you're all recovered from your recent auto accident.

[Billie]

Hi, CarryaBigStick, cute picture! Does your kitty like to fly? :)

[Darnright]

>The young one can almost *talk*!<

Glory "talks" when she wants dinner, wants out, or wants to go to bed. She wags her tail furiously, stomps her front feet, and "roo roooo's" at whichever human is paying attention. She's kind of hard to ignore.

They're really fun though. :)

You want spam at 50 paces, Billie and beo?!!
So be it, you two --

[beowolf]

Finally!!!

I'm working on a sculpture ( abstract form ) that is 3 ft. tall from a pear tree that I cut down several years ago. I have a black walnut trunk that I cut down last fall that is drying out and will be my next one. It will be a realistic figure, and it's almost 5 ft. tall. I have a piece of white Carerra marble that I'm saving for the day when I can get either one of you to pose nude for me.

Yeah, yeah...I know...when hell freezes over!! You can't blame me for trying...:-))

[LadyX]

"Yeah, yeah...I know...when hell freezes over!! You can't blame me for trying...:-))"

Oh, yes, O Innocent One.
Billie and I remember well how on Freeper Island you used to sneak down by our waterfall
(ya know - the one with the big Off Limits sign??) and "lurk" - hoping..:))

[LadyX]

Oh, Johnny Mac!!
Have you had your smile today?!!

We wanna know!!

[beowolf]

I was merely doing the asset inventory...as my job description called for. I don't want to hear that slander about my writing my own job description, either. That rumor is a slander on my pristine reputation.

( GI issue bloomers?! Sheesh...talk about a fashion statement..:-)

[LadyX]

"( GI issue bloomers?! Sheesh...talk about a fashion statement..:-)"

Ha!!
You know full well Billie and I had
only standard Texas bloomers!

[jwfiv]

Yes, LadyX .... just now getting underway, and have a smile on my face, given to me your little porkies, and Miss D's critters .... )

Thank you, Dutchess, for a delightful way to start the day ... )))))))))

Here's a really funny face!

This is Dioji.
We pronounce it D.O.G. but you say it faster.
He likes when people try to pick him up
so he can make faces.
Believe it or not he's afraid of his own shadow.
Dioji is a Lhasapoo owned by Eric from Brooklyn, NY.

They'll win The Fight, unless the Right is Strong!!
Bold people must speak OUR minds...

It's time we ROUT Lib'rals, TRASH DemClowns!!
High time fer Justice to now Rebound!!

Clinton feels he can't be beat...
Med'yuh Poltroons, they're Effete!!
Forgivin' wrongs, Press parrots Slick's LIES!!
Most of them say, "Slick Willie's OUR GUY!!"
It's time we STOP DemRATS...Stop DemClowns!!
Big Guv'ment's shakin' OUR Country down!!
