Female, ~wife of FReeper ecurbh~...

Interests besides politics include Tolkien, South Park, target shooting, trail riding (horseback! - no noisy bikes) and dogs.... Anything to get me outside and away from computer occasionally, all this FReepin' is making me pudgy.

And Hobbits love our Free Republic!

Close up below of the certificate pictured left. (click to enlarge... names smudged out for public consumption) Those great soldiers over there who we wanted so much to thank for their service, replied with gratitude. Supporting the troops matters to them. Let them know.

Here is a picture of Freeper smaagee standing in the palace the tile came from.

Thank you so much, smaagee!


HairOfTheDog and ecurbh at Fort Lewis Rally March 20.

God please look over them
Give them clarity in their judgments.

Give them strength.

Guide their hands.

Bring them Home safe.

THE DOG
Beauty without Vanity

Strength without Insolence,
Courage without Ferocity,
And all the Virtues of man,
Without his Vices. 
Lord Byron

I think we are drawn to dogs because they are the uninhibited creatures we might be if we weren't certain we knew better.

They fight for honor at the first challenge, make love without moral restraint and they do not for all their instincts appear to foresee or dwell on their own death. Being such wonderfully uncomplicated beings, they need us to do their worrying.

There will be an occasional clash of intents if not of wills, and you must work this out without loss of intimacy.
~George Bird Evans, Troubles With Bird Dogs



When the body that lived at your single will,
When its whimper is stilled (how still!)
When the spirit that answered your every mood
Is gone—wherever it goes—for good,
You will discover how much you care,
And will give your heart to a dog to tear.

(From Rudyard Kipling's "Power of the Dog")

Zulu hated it when I did stuff like this.

Just because man
no longer understands his place in the universe
don't assume all God's creatures
have become equally confused and trivial

RAINED OUT

Photo taken by the space shuttle Columbia on her last mission.
I envy them, and would go in a heartbeat just to see it.
May they rest in peace.



Take a Hair of the Dog that Bit You.

After a debauch, take a little wine the next day. Take a cool draught of ale in the morning, after a night’s excess. The advice was given literally in ancient times, “If a dog bites you, put a hair of the dog into the wound,” on the homœopathic principle of “Similia similibus curantur” (like cures like).
~Dictionary of Phrase & Fable
 

FReeper ecurbh and I were married June 19, 2004. We met here at Free Republic.
