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!

Florida and THE SOUTH have surely had their share of torment and problems as a result of Mother Nature the past couple years. Our resident satirist, JohnHuang2, who resides in Southern Florida has NOT missed the bullet and following Wilma’s visit, is awaiting power & ability to contribute with us again.

Needing a replacement for this Thursday, the Sistah’s wisely went to the deepest political thinker on the FRee Republic Forum, DollyCali (cough, cough, choke, choke …as a nose somewhere is growing)

Let’s see, shall we analyze Meir’s withdrawal? Reid’s most recent rants? The Scooter indictment? Charles & Camilla's visit to US? Alito’s selection for SCOTUS? POTUS trip to Asia? The 2000th death in Iraq? The de-throwning of Anne Coulter? The Condi 08 movement?

?????

Naw, let’s consider something REALLY important.

A baby squirrel.

Yes, this will be a hot bed of political discussion. Should survival of the fittest been permitted to happen? Will this woman, Debbie, be a wildlife law breaker and be charged with various violations of local statues? Will the libertarians have an opportunity to demand local ordinances as these be eliminated? Will Michael Moore make this into a movie? Who will play the baby squirrel? Who will play the wicked squirrel mother, who threw the squirrel out of the nest? Will the cancer ridden rescuer have her last days with cancer in jail? Will Hospice be permitted to visit? Will the dog breeders of America shout BAD WOMAN!? Will the baby squirrel now need therapy to realize he is NOT a dog? Will the dog pups no longer follow their nature & not chase squirrels? Will the Papillon Association of America with draw Giselle’s pedigree?

But the key question:

Will peace activists tell us that this is a lesson for the US & terrorists……

Cant we all just get along????

Well, wonder if any of us has any clue what will be the fate of Finnegan? Will he be content to play with the dogs? Will his inner instinct drive him to his “own kind”? Will he look for a mate in the dog world (pleasing the libs)? Will he work for the Park Service?

Or will his aspirations be a bit higher? Well, here is an idea….

THIS WEEK'S THREADS 10-31-05 Military Monday 11-1,2-05 Aloha! Back to Hawaii

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest The guy's good, folks!

[dixie sass]

Whooping with laughter! That is the best story I've read in awhile.

Lets get that squirrel into the White House!!!

[Billie]

Dolly, this is such a cute, sweet post today. You and dutchess have put your mark on the Finest with your precious animal threads. Wonderful pictures and commentary, too! Thanks so very much for the way you present these sweet little critters' stories at the Finest.

[DollyCali]

[dixie sass]

What a smile on that baby's face in the last picture. Nature has a way of caring for it's own. Isn't it wonderful?

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

LOL!!!! Very cute, & you wove your politcal commentary in very stealthfully!

[DollyCali]

I love the stories (and there are oodles of them) about cross adoptions, naturally or with a little help from human supporters. The funniest one I recall was a baby Chick that nuzzled with a litter of kittens. Of course no nursing but just the warmth/security suggestion. I have those pix,story somewhere on one of my computers or hard drives. somewhere...

[EX52D]

Wow, great post! Not sure how I got on your ping list, but keep me there, please!

[DollyCali]

Hi Ex... would be glad to put you on our Finest Ping list, but it is not only an animal daily thread. We do have occasional animal posts... Lots of topics but all are light, fun & usually non-controversial.

[EX52D]

Great, count me in! Great animal pics!

[Felicity Fahrquar]

Cheers, Dolly - thanks for the ping! I used to have a cat who'd sit in front of the door all day, watching the squirrels and chipmunks scurrying around. She'd hunker down, put on her best ferocious-jungle-cat look and growl the whole time. The critters outside were deeply unimpressed. :)

Morning Mayor.

[DollyCali]

the indoor kitties surely must have a fantasy world. All the treasures & adventures that are forbidden territory.

When I was first married & lived in appts, I could not let my kitties out, it was always a great source of enjoyment to watch them.. their little bottom jaws would quiver in anticipation as they stalked squirrels, birds.... I had one (not so bright apparently) who continually tried to go thru the window.

I now live where I can let my cats in & out freely & they are quite happy.

[DollyCali]

May the Lord of great love and of creation keep the men and women of our military in His loving and eternal care. May the families be immersed with peace and comfort as they proudly know their loved ones are giving their best for the things that are dear to all of us. AMEN

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; Mama_Bear; Dutchess; The Mayor; 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.

[Diver Dave]

Very interesting presentation, Dolly.
When I saw the title, I thought you were going to be presenting Chip 'n Dale or maybe Chippendales pix. :)

[DollyCali]

the other Sistah's already are a little suspicious of me I think.. If I run a Chippendale thread they'll chase me around Free Republic with a stun gun (after they bookmark it)

ha!

[Mama_Bear]

how is MIL?

Thanks for asking about her, Dolly. Mom K has been better the past few days. She's regaining a bit of her mobility....very slowly. Her release date from the rehab center is the 10th, but she will need round the clock assistance and continued rehab for about eight weeks. She has decided that she does not want to go home with a 24/7 in-home caregiver. She wants to go to an assisted living facility just down the street from us. It is a wonderful place, with levels of care tailored to the resident's needs. They have lots of activities and provide just a lovely environment for the seniors. Many of her church friends are living there. Her life style, which pretty much consisted of sitting in her recliner and watching tv all day, won't really change much. We will still visit her, of course, and I will take her out for her Friday appointments and lunch and we will take her out for dinner on Sunday, as we always have. I hope she doesn't have to get on a waiting list before we can move her over there, we will find out today.

The rehab center, where she is now, encourages family to bring pets to see the patients, so we took "the Chach" out to see her last weekend. It seemed to perk her up. :-)

Take a well deserved bow, Miss Dolly - - !!

This thread is typical of your unlimited creativity and desire to please others...
and we always marvel at how you manage to carve out 68 action-packed hours into every 24-hour day!

You come across as a whirling dervish- - in a - -
OOPS!! Meant this one - -

To know the many-faceted you, is to love you..:))
