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 Finest Friends... It's Pet Day at the Finest. Maggie (the Lovely LadyX) sent us some pictures with this fun idea in mind. Today we want you to "smile" along with some of our Furry Friends (and...sigh from Rusty and me (Giz) FredtheCat insisted we also feature some feline friends... oh well!). To add to your pleasure please click on this:

Smiles from our Furry Friends

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

Dearest LadyX,

Thanks! You just reminded me that I have to re-new my motorcycle insurance, today. I always knew that you were good for something...;-)

Good Morning, Ladies!!

[Billie]

Hey, there, beo! If I can ever get to your 'album', I'm anxious to see the animals. :) Is "a boy and his goat" there? :)

[Texagirl4W]

>^..^<

This is my little kitty to all of you. He says that he loves the pictures today and hopes that you all have a great day.

[CarryaBigStick]

Bookmark for later.

[LadyX]

Think you just can't beat a 'Goldie' for utter sweetness of face and personality..:))

Don't know about everyone else, but I can hardly wait to see the contributions added today that will transport us out of the "stuff" of the world --
surely why God placed pets in our lives.
If treated well, they will guard and work for us - are wonderful companions - and love us without any conditions...

[beowolf]

Darn...I'll have to put some pics of the animals in it.

The album is just my awesome self, my breath-taking art-work, and my beautiful motorcycle...all presented smothered in pure ego. The animals will up-stage me, but I can't refuse you anything...:-)

[LadyX]

"I always knew that you were good for something...;-)"

I'll try not to let that remark go to my head, dear beo..:))

However, if you don't "bee-in have," I might have to summon Harrowup!! -- lol --

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you dutchess, Giz, Rusty and Fred for this post full of smiles. A fun way to start the day!

I searched high and low for photos of Bear and Jackie smiling but must have misplaced them somewhere. Here are a couple of Golden cuties who are living over in Googleland.....Bentley and friend.....

To all of our Finest dog, cat, and bird lovers - have a wonderful day!

[LadyX]

"Darn...I'll have to put some pics of the animals in it."

**LadyX taps foot impatiently -- waiting for critter pictures...do not disappoint, beo, or else you will -- (i'll think of something dire - gimmee time to think what...)**

[beowolf]

Dearest LadyX,

Billie finally just found my invite in her Spam folder. Spam?!

I get no respect. It's also possible that her Spam-Filter talks to other Spam-Filters and I am on their 'undesirables' list..:-))

[LadyX]

Such sweet, sweet faces, Mama_Bear!
Think everyone reading this thread has a smile plastered on their face..:))

Gettin' us warmed up for tomorrow, eh, if JH2 is serving up his weekly essay?!

[CarryaBigStick]

[Diver Dave]

Sometimes the news can be very depressing...

What good is a critter if you can't share a drink with him?...

[LadyX]

(Did you read the Secret Message in my Reply #47, beo?!)

[LadyX]

**BIG** Smiles there, Dave..:))

[MEG33]

[beowolf]

Yes, I read it, dear. I'll visit that threat, head-on, on my next road-trip...;-)

[GailA]

Good morning, cute furry thread. We are having T storms today.

[Darnright]

Yes, Billie. Glory is a 12 year young Papillon.

Billie finally just found my invite in her Spam folder. Spam?!

LOL! AOL made me do it. I didn't mean to do it. I didn't wanna do it.

I checked your album - I'm so glad to see some of your art (WOW!), your fancy smancy bike, and your cute, smiling self! Now.....I wonder if I can find the boy and the goat. :)
