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.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

Welcome to Warm Fuzzy Wednesday at the Finest. For those who start counting the days on Monday until the weekend, we're halfway there! So we're here to banish those doldrums and make you smile inside! Please feel free to post sweet graphics and/or little stories that make you feel all warm and fuzzy - or just come by and give us a smile. Only two more days 'til the weekend!

Good Afternoon Conor
Great to see you. I’m fine. Thanks. :) How have you been? Torrential rain today. Good to get this rain though.

[DollyCali]

sorry about the stress/trials at work DIta. Mega prayers for you sweetie!

[ConorMacNessa]

We had light rain overnight but it’s all cleared out now. Nice sunny afternoon - wish I were in the garden instead of at work!

[La Enchiladita]

Thank you for your concern, Mama Bear... Hugs!!

Your experience sounds EXACTLY like mine, so you know how overwhelming it can be.

I’m actually having a better day, because I stayed home...LOL. Legitimately, because I have a sinus infection. (Meg, you are magical, with your wish for a better day...:) I felt so draggy and sick this morning, until I called in sick, then I had some renewed energy!!

It is a BEAUTIFUL brisk Spring day here. The winds have cleaned and freshened the air, there are cottony clouds floating over, and it’s gorgeous!!

However, there’s a police/evacuation incident nearby. I saw helos hovering, so phoned West L.A.P.D. division and they said “dynamite has been found.” No details.

God bless each and every one of you, my FRiends.

someone was asking about favorite white/off white roses.

My favorite when I grew them was Pristine. I won a lot of ribbons showing that one. Not sure if it is still on the “hot” rose list.

Well, I am home for a few hours before Bible Study/small group tonight & considering going w/reddish hair.

I normally do it Valentines day thru St. Pats but did NOT this year.

I bought beef liver, chicken hearts & fish for my pets. I HATE cooking meat.

later

oh, BTW Jaycee.. Thanks for comments on Cali (she is old.. 18) we have 4 calicos in the house. Cleopatra a short hair about 7 & Pricess & Queenie a mom/daughter persian combo about 5 & 6 years old

[La Enchiladita]

Thank you. Oops, Dolly... ping to 144... feeling better that I can see this bright, pretty day (not cooped up in windowless workplace).

I was just about to say how sweet and beautiful Cali is, before I saw this post... that photo says so much.

Hugs!!!

Wishing all the Finest a wonderful and fuzzy Wednesday.

A stray little girl showed up on my porch last week, bright eyes looking up at me in the dark, hungry and obviously glad for a little chow.

She hung around for few days, got bothered by the Toms in the hood until I intervened and asked them to back off. The next day, she came up to me for some lovin' and we had our bonding moment when I officially became her slave.

Took me another day to reaalize she was sick with a big abcess on her back, so I kept her in over Easter weekend and we went to the vet on Monday.

Surgery has now taken care of her wound, and antibiotics are battling the infection. The vet says she's doing fine.

I'll get her back next week ... gonna try to find a good home for her in the meantime.

She's a lovey little thing ... vet told me she's about five months old ... I call her Coffee ... )

[GodBlessUSA]

Hi Dolly
I know what you mean about cooking for the pets. I cooked chicken livers the other day. Ewww, to me. LOL

I’ve seen Pristine in catalogs. It looks beautiful and I’d love to grow it. I have to check the cold hardiness of this rose.

Have fun tonight. Let’s see pictures of you with red hair. ;)

[DollyCali]

Hang in their darlin'!

[Mama_Bear]

I’m actually having a better day, because I stayed home...LOL.

LOL. Well, that's an excellent way of solving your stressful work situation, however sorry to hear that you have a sinus infection. Those can be miserable and can take a long time to clear up.

We have very high icy winds here today. Feels just like the wind is coming off the water....sort of like the way I hear it is in Chicago much of the time. BRRRRR....

Guess I won't be going out and photographing more roses today - they are blowing around like crazy.

[GodBlessUSA]

Hi jwfiv
She’s so sweet looking. How wonderful she had you to care for her. I hope you find someone really special to take her. :) I so wish we could have a cat but we are allergic here. I guess that’s why I post cats all the time. :)

[La Enchiladita]

It’s not, April snow bring May flowers.

LOL... I can't believe your forecast... Enough of Winter already!

[DollyCali]

Hi.. I was wondering how she was doing . I recall a few days ago you mentioning the new “stray”.. I think God gave her to you. No need to find a home, she already has one.

Hair color & cook yukky meat time..

[La Enchiladita]

Reminded me of this...

[Mama_Bear]

Bless you for caring for that sweet stray cat.

gonna try to find a good home for her in the meantime.

Well, sounds like Coffee's found a good home, complete with her own personal "slave". LOL.

[La Enchiladita]

Amen, stopem. Delay is not denial.

[GodBlessUSA]

I’m starting to work on the yard. It's going to get chilly here again. They say possible snow Monday. Oh no. :( April showers are ok but no snow. I hope they are wrong. I have to remember it won’t be long now before it’s nice. Boy, did that groundhog mess up this year. LOL

[GodBlessUSA]

(((Dita)))

I know it’s too much. How are you today? Is it nice there? I was out and about in torrential rain before. I get home and I’m soaked. As soon as I get home, it lightens up. LOL!!

[La Enchiladita]

Come down here and you will see possums... they make a really messy roadkill...yuk. We especially had loads of them in Santa Monica, where I lived and a raccoon a time or two.

[La Enchiladita]

Here’s some sugar from Aunty Dita for Coffee... she is ADORABLE.
