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!

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

[proud2beconservativeinNJ]

Your picture reminds of the Vanity Fair Wilson Plame shot.

[Feiny]

The wet kitty looks like an alien. Too funny.

Humblegunner told me to post this picture because it would give him an excuse to mention Young Edgar again, as they are similar in color.

(this is a neighborhood kitty that wandered in the open patio door to visit with Mason today)

[LadyX]

I have your Mason.Cam under my favorites, Flyer..:)

Love this photograph of "Him and Friend,"
that lends itself to dozens of captions!

LOL...that's a great picture. So how did Mason handle the "intruder"?????

Yes, he is growing awfully fast now that you ask.

[Flyer]

So how did Mason handle the "intruder"?????

Mason lived with a kitty at his previous home, so it was mostly ok, just the new-ness of a different kitty was exciting.

The kitty had to hiss and swat a couple of times, just to keep things at a certain level of understanding. Humblegunner translated what the kitty is saying:

"See, I'll come over and visit, and you'll be nice and polite, see?"

Yikes! Don't watch, I gotta vacuum. . . with the long-haired dog owners favorite tool - The ShopVac!

(okay, it's actually a Rigid)

[dutchess]

Oh my...what a precious little kitty! Love you Texas "bad boys" showing your "true colors".... (bunch of softies LOL!)

[Flyer]

Love you Texas "bad boys" showing your "true colors"

Hey, kitties are just reduced versions of lions and tigers.

[Lady Jag]

So true...and the great part is that they come in a variety of shapes and sizes!

Yup! And sometimes they don't eat each other.

[humblegunner]

Love you Texas "bad boys" showing your "true colors".... (bunch of softies LOL!)

Oh, we're plenty bad, but kitties and puppy dogs are exempt.

[LadyX]

"Love you Texas "bad boys" showing your "true colors"....

Yes, dutchess, but these fellows are The Finest good Bad Boys!!

Gotta luv 'em..:)

[Diver Dave]

No Vanity Fair for my boys. Guns and Ammo maybe. :)

Y'all know good and well that if we didn't get all mushy over our pups and kitties you wouldn't want anything to do with us.

Hi, all. Great thread, dutchess. I just love pet thread days.

I've been away even longer than I expected as my computer crashed and burned...literally. I should say it crashed *because* it burned out its circuitry just as I was typing a private reply to ExcuseMyBellicosity thanking him for posting a picture of my son's sub two weeks ago. Man, talk about having FR withdrawals!

(Hi. I'm Lakeside. [Hiiii Lakeside] I'm an FRaholic)

I have a doggie story I've been meaning to share with you guys. We've got a new dog--another rescue. Penny is a terrier/wire haired chihuahua mix. She was found in our neighbor's pontoon boat (that was tied at their dock) after another neighbor reported seeing some guy toss Penny in as he was going close by in his own boat. Just threw her away!! Well, for various reasons my neighbors couldn't keep her. We could.

Our other rescue doggie, the three legged Kix(Aussie mix), wasn't so sure she wanted that little rat dog but now they are fast friends---as long as Penny keeps her distance from Kix's food bowl.

Now, along with this nifty new laptop of mine I got a new printer/scanner. Just as soon as I figure out (o, noooo!) how to operate said scanner I'll post pictures of our doggies to the Finest. Perhaps sometime next year....

[Lady Jag]

They help out around the house...

Oh, my dear! We don't work!
We have people to do that for us!

whole article in the link, but this is the best part!

The two will face a challenge on election day from write-in hopeful Rus Thompson, who has continued campaigning despite his loss in a Republican primary against Kaiser in September.

Thompson, who announced his intention to run against Chuck Swanick in December before either endorsed candidate entered the race, said he is also opposed to Giambra’s proposed budget and feel county government needs to be “dismantled.”

While he was denied the Republican Party’s support, he said the leaders of the Erie County Republican Committee took his ideas and made them part of their REFORM platform.

“I met with Carl Calabrese (the County Republican Committee’s executive director) and he was totally enthusiastic about it,” said Thompson, who feels party leaders rejected him because he worked with Democrats as well as Republicans and Conservatives. “Because I didn’t cook clam chowder and I didn’t cook hamburgers, because I wasn’t part of their clique, I couldn’t get the party endorsement.”

[The Mayor]

That is hilarious!
