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. Our Finest JohnHuang2 is suffering the aftermaths of Wilma (clearly she's a dem :o) so we decided it's time to put a smile on your face with more of our fuzzy friends. Be sure to click on the music link halfway down!!!! Guarenteed to make you "SMILE"!

WHY GOD MADE PETS
They help out around the house....

They protect our children.....

They look out for the smaller ones....

They show us how to relax....

They "converse" with each other....

They help you when you're down

They are great at decorating for the Holidays

They are Patriotic!

Okay...we've gotton here AND we hope you have a smile on your face. Hope this "solidifies" it. Have a great day and Don't forget to "SMILE"! Smiles


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

God Bless Our Military
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Dutchess, The Mayor or DollyCali and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

It took time. Two bouts of cancer, one dog, one cat. The latest is rescuing 5 kittens, my daughter cannot bear to part with them as we literally hand raised them from a week old. We just had them "fixed" so they won't be leaving babies abandoned in someone's compost pile like their mom did.
The vets and pet supply store have the fortune..and the cats and kittens own the house!

[Prime Choice]

Pets are the best!

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

[MaryFromMichigan]

Great thread!
Here's a picture of my turtle that I fixed up for the holiday!

[CovenBuster]

What a great thread! Mind if I break out my brag book?

Our dogs will love and admire the meanest of us, and feed our colossal vanity with their uncritical homage.
~Agnes Repplier

More dog quotes here.

[LadyX]

"Ooooh, goody, dutchess! A Pet Thread!!
Yes - it's really me, Binky Boy.
God made me special, and sent me to live with my Mom, LadyX..:)"

"Actually, she sent me to The Finest to test the waters, absent for 2 days, and hoped if I eased in her apology, you perhaps would accept it."

"Fact is, she had a few trying days, out of town for one of them, and was waiting to hear from my Uncle Steve and Uncle Kevin.
As you know, the eye of Hurricane Wilma passed over Uncle K's house in Florida with 113 mph winds, and the top of it in excess of 100 mph pounded Uncle Steve."

"God sent miracles to both of them, Uncle Kevin's power back on today (although he had a generator and was able to cope) and the *only* damage was to the screening on his back porch. Close by neighbors had their whole porches demolished!"

"The eye of the hurricane and breaks between bands gave intervals of relief for Uncle Kevin, but poor Uncle Steve 50 miles above him fared worse."

"Their intense winds and side-driven rains went on and on without ceasing until it skirted out to sea.
Considerable damage was done to his new house, but his power came back on quickly in his northwest of the city residential area."

"Permission for Mom to safely enter??"

[dutchess]

The vets and pet supply store have the fortune..and the cats and kittens own the house!LOL....I can relate on both counts.

We just had them "fixed" so they won't be leaving babies abandoned in someone's compost pile like their mom did.

Bless you and your daughter!

[dutchess]

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

Cute addition to the thread Prime Choice...especially the bunny pix! Thanks for stopping in!

[dutchess]

Here's a picture of my turtle that I fixed up for the holiday!

You REALLY did that??? That is way too cool!

Where in Michigan? I was born and raised there...(Birmingham) but sigh...moved to Ohio 30 years ago. Still spend a lot of time in Boyne City and Big Rapids though

M-Go-Blue!!!!

[MaryFromMichigan]

You REALLY did that???That is way too cool!

Aw, thanks! I'll freepmail you the address of the little site I have for him.
I've had many animals over the years, but he's the best!

[dutchess]

What a great thread! Mind if I break out my brag book?

Thanks and don't mind a bit. What sweet pups. Worth bragging about!

Also, thanks for the link to the quote site. I see the makings of another pet thread down the road! :o)

[MEG33]

Beautiful cat!One of our kittens is a lighter version of your kitty..He is goofy,too.. He is so huggable.

[dutchess]

Hey binky!!! Glad to here your "mom" is okay as well as Uncle Steve and Uncle Kevin! Tell her she's "safe to enter" - Love - Giz
