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!

Welcome to TGIF at the Finest!   We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. From the beginning, we've been kicking back on Saturdays and Sundays and simply reviewing the features of the week; our weekend threads now start on Friday and continue through Sunday. If you missed seeing any of this week's threads and want to say hello there now, just click on the link for that particular day. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today through Sunday, please feel free to do that also. One of us will try to be around to see the welcome mat is still out, put the coffee pot on, and maybe even bring fresh flowers for the table. : )

Welcome to the Week-end at the Finest !!!

My maiden voyage of Finest Posting is made possible by 99% of the work being done by the dear Ms. Billie!

Come greet your FReeper FRiends this weekend!

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Dolly. Congratulations.

The thread looks great.

[luvie]

Beautiful roses! I can almost smell them!

[DollyCali]

How exciting.. the first poster on my thread. Well, you should win something. I have a new litter of kittens... ???

The Dose passes out toasters.

our messages just crossed in FR cyber space... I was posting on your thread while you were posting here.

I didn't sleep last night & am remarkably pretty awake at this point. But need to go find Oliver who is chasing raccoons.

[DollyCali]

Isn't that a pretty graphic? (Billie's of course) We have a few flowers blooming here in ohio.. tulips, forsythia... but might have snow atop them this week-end. Bummer! Are you into gardening?

[luvie]

Oh, heavens, no! I can kill any seed or bulb that crosses my palm! I just love to view them and am very jealous of those who can garden! But.....my grass is lookin' good! LOL!

[JustAmy]

LOL

I might be willing to take a kitten. Marissa has been asking for a kitten but I hesitate since we have two dogs. Poor kitty would need to learn to fend for herself pretty fast.

I should get to bed but decided to post my thread a little earlier than usual. :)

[DollyCali]

LUV's LAWN

[Mama_Bear]

Good job, Dolly! :-)

For you...

[luvie]

You've been in my back yard!!! LOL! Well, I have a few irises that bloom in spite of me...they are very brave!

[DollyCali]

you do solo hostessing.. lotsa work.. but so many great contributors visit you...My Oliver does well with all cats here & vice versa. That was the test three years ago if I would keep him. He licked & mothered cats immediately & the first night pushed up & supported/warmth on my sore back.

(canine psychologist, it seems?)

Sleep well... I didn't last night & am pretty energized right now... Need to do one more "project" for this thread. Right now cannot get into my server.. password didn't get me a pass, it seems.

[DollyCali]

copy & paste is my speciality...but I will take the flowers anyway! thanks Lori!

[luvie]

....and I'm off work! Gonna have some fun!

[DollyCali]

kittens are like potato chips.

Cant have just one.

And besides you wouldn't want to break up a family would you? The mother will also come and since I am not sure who the father is I will include all the males who visit our homestead. Most of them are pretty (when they aren't bloody from fighting each other)

Am I a generous soul or what..????

[DollyCali]

A possum! that is what Oliver just had cornered in the garage.. and a BIG possum.. she was after the outdoor kitty food, I am guessing.

Do you work weekends now & then?

[DollyCali]

get your cute face & that red eraser shirt over here & visit the Finest! I never saw your DC report (can do it here). I REALLY wanted to be there.

[JustAmy]

LOL

That's a great picture. It makes me want to take all of them. :)

[luvie]

Yeah, I work in retail so you know I do--and most holidays, too!

You guys have possoms at your house--you must live in the country! The only time I saw them was at my grandmother's country home!

[DollyCali]

yes, we have "some land" and our property is contiguous to the national park (Cuyahoga National Park) Official Site

I am a volunteer with the park. I do surveys of the boundaries & interior analysis.
