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!

Uh Oh

Late one night, a burglar broke into a house he thought was empty. He tiptoed through the living room but suddenly he froze in his tracks when he heard a loud voice say:

"Jesus is watching you!" Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward again.

"Jesus is watching you," the voice boomed again.

The burglar stopped dead again. He was frightened. Frantically, he looked all around. In a dark corner, he spotted a bird cage and in the cage was a parrot.

He asked the parrot: "Was that you who said Jesus is watching me?"

"Yes", said the parrot.

The burglar breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the parrot: "What's your name?"

"Clarence," said the bird. "That's a dumb name for a parrot," sneered the burglar. "What idiot named you Clarence?"

The parrot replied, "The same idiot who named the Rottweiller Jesus."

Cat Translations

Miaow......Feed me.

Meeow......Pet me.

Mrooww......I love you.

Miioo-oo-oo......I am in love and must meet my betrothed outside beneath the hedge. Don't wait up.

Mrow......I feel like making noise.

Rrrow-mawww......Please, the time has come to tidy the litter box

Rrrow-miawww......I have remedied the cat box untidiness by shoveling the contents as far out of the box as was practical.

Miaowmiaow......Play with me

Miaowmioaw......Have you noticed the shortage of available cat toys in this room?

Mioawmioaw......Since I can find nothing better to play with, I shall see what happens when I sharpen my claws on this handy piece of furniture

Raowwwww......I think I shall now spend time licking the most private parts of my anatomy.

Mrowwwww......I am now recalling, with sorrow, that some of my private parts did not return with me from that visit to the vet.

Roww-maww-roww......I am so glad to see that you have returned home with both arms full of groceries. I will now rub myself against your legs and attempt to trip you as you walk towards the kitchen.

Gakk-ak-ak......My digestive passages seem to have formed a hairball. Wherever could this have come from? I shall leave it here upon the carpeting.

Mow......Snuggling is a good idea.

Moww......Shedding is pretty good too

Mowww!......I was enjoying snuggling and shedding in the warm clean laundry until you removed me so unkindly.

Miaow! Miaow!......I have discovered that, although one may be able to wedge his body through the gap behind the stove and into that little drawer filled with pots and pans, the reverse path is slightly more difficult to navigate.

Mraakk!......Oh, small bird! Please come over here.

Mmmrowmmm......It is certain that the best tasting fish is one you have caught yourself.

Mmmmmmm......If I sit in the sunshine for another hour or so, I think I shall be satisfied.

Mreoaw......Please ask room service to send up another can of tuna fish.

Mreeeow......Do you serve catnip with that?

Mroow......I have forced my body into a tiny space in order to look cute. How am I doing?

Miaooww! Mriaow!......Since you are using the can opener, I am certain that you understand the value of a well-fed and pampered cat. Please continue.

"Meow!"

Have a great day...and keep smiling!!!!!

Good Morning Dutchess
Your pet threads are terrific!

[Melinda in TN]

My best bud, Kipper. He's also best yapper and ankle biter. :-) Seriously though, he's not as hyper and yappy as most JRT's.

Lost At Sea

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ: Job 2:7-10

Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity? —Job 2:10 In the fall of 1982, Deborah Kiley set out with three other young people to deliver the 58-foot yacht Trashman from Maine to Florida. Off the coast of North Carolina, they encountered gale winds and mountainous seas that sank their boat. Enduring 4 grueling days at sea without food or fresh water, the crew clung to life in a rubber dinghy in shark-infested waters.

In her book Albatross, Deborah recalls how one of the crew shouted curses at God for their dilemma. Despite her fatigue, Deborah silently recited The Lord’s Prayer and asked God to teach her through this crisis. Later, the same young man drank seawater, became delirious, jumped overboard, and was eaten by sharks. Eventually, the survivors were rescued by a Russian freighter.

Each of us responds in different ways to a crisis. Centuries ago, Job was hit by one wave of bad news after another. At one point his wife told him to curse God and die. Job’s response was profound: “Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” (Job 2:10).

The next time a crisis hits, recognize God’s sovereignty and do as Deborah Kiley did—ask God to teach you something through it. —Dennis Fisher

O Lord, I would not ask You why
These trials come my way
But what there is for me to learn
Of Your great love, I pray.  —D. De Haan

The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.  —Job

I don't know what to say. I've had hard times and felt as though I barely survived, but don't remember my life being on the line like that.

Thank you Mayor.

[Majie Purple]

Wow what a great header!
Did you think that all up...
or did you find those meowisms
somewhere? :)

[Majie Purple]

[Mama_Bear]

What a sweet post today, dutchess. I love Pet Days at the Finest. Cats certainly have an extensive vocabulary. LOL.

Chachi loves Pet Day too, and he thought this one would never get here! He's been wanting to share his Final Exam and Graduation photos from "Intermediate" class. We are quite proud of the little scholar. He did great! In the fall he will attend Advanced class and receive his Canine Good Citizen certificate. He is hoping to eventually get his "dogtorate" in Canine Obedience someday. ;-)

Happy Thursday, everyone!

[Majie Purple]
