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!

Liquid Courage
They idle in the tavern, as they have many nights before, reminiscing about good times and doing their best to ignore the ticking clock above the door, the harbinger of doom in store for the fair-haired, mustachioed man in the polyester suit; the guy sucking back another cranberry juice and Absolut. "It's time to get ourselves en route to the church, mister," his astute friend enjoins.
"One more," says the groom.

We are Amy's latest kindle Cute and cuddly feline bindles Found underneath the shrubs in Amy's yard
Four girl kittens and four boys kittens Forlorn and looking like we'd lost our mittens In the early morning rain, it wasn't hard
To trade in door warmth for outdoor cold The boys in vests and spats were all so bold Leaving our box to see just what would unfold
Up above us was this great big thing Gleaming white and oh so inviting With a wide long smile that seemed to tease and infect
Little did we know it was Amy's latest project That lured us all to meticulously, felinely inspect This thing that makes sounds in pretty ways that nearly sing
We girls in stripes and calico liked the lighter sounds, just because As we padded and our steps dropped beneath our paws While the boys pounded the deep ones on this musical sea
When Amy saw us, we thought she'd be angry Instead she giggled and snapped a picture of "The Usual Suspects" Though we much prefer to be called "Kittens On The Keys"

Kearen likes watching her human do silly stuff, like leaping around on one foot after she nips my ankle.
She finds the acrobatics to be quite amusing.
She has been somewhat off lately though, she's been somewhat cuddlier.
And that isn't like her.
Trip to the vet time again maybe.
(Probably to find out that she's merely mellowing out at 7 years old or so.. as she is still otherwise normal with the ankle nipping and such.)

Adorable pledge graphic with Marissa. Simone is so cute. Lots of cute poems, photos, graphics and great stories. Keeping my Beta fish, Harvey away from the puter :-) And Lucy too, she loves to chase cats. Cute thread.

Good afternoon, Colleen. Thanks.
Life would sure be dull without our furry, scaly friends.
It is funny to watch Simone and LouieMax play together.
He, at 192 lbs, outside and her, at 5 lbs, sitting inside.
I sure hope LouieMax doesn't come through the glass door one day.

You're welcome! I love cats---and wish I had one. I keep hoping for an accidental pet to come to my door, but so far---nothing!

More Alaska stories to come tomorrow, Luvvy..:))
Won't repeat those I shared here a couple of weeks ago, but there always are others.
By the way, I'll be out of town in the morning, but aboard here shortly after noon, probably.
((YES, MAMA_ - I'm currently loading up for BEAR..:))

Thank you for sharing your adorable kitty. And thank you for The Walrus & The Carpenter!
Actually he belongs to my parents, and he is treated waaaaaaaaay better than my sister and I ever were. Which means, I guess, that he has them excellently trained!
For those familiar with "Cats" his jellicle name is Mister Midnight Velvetpaws.

((YES, MAMA_ - I'm currently loading up for BEAR..:)) LOL! Good! It wouldn't be a proper tribute to the Great State of Alaska without you. :-)
BTW, this isn't very good, but it was the only midi rendition of "North to Alaska" that I could find.
"North to Alaska,
They're goin' North,
the rush is on!"

He, at 192 lbs, outside and her, at 5 lbs, sitting inside. Gosh, I hope LouieMax doesn't go through the glass door! Quick story, my sister's neighbor has a dog (Bear) who sits on the window sill in the front of the house. There is a dog down the block who has, 3 times, yes.. 3 times jumped through the window. Unbelievable and luckily, never any injuries, never heard of anything like that before!
LOL, the size difference between Simone and LouieMax. I would love to have more animals, but just can't at this time. It is wonderful how so many of us here can relate to how we love our pets, yep...they are part of our family :-)
Thank You for the cute graphic. Hugs for you too.
