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. : )

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest The guy's good, folks!

"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

I received this in my email June 10th, the author is unknown.
I am wearing red today and every Friday ~ Billie

[Echo Talon]

Here was the offensive toon

LOL! I thought that it was something that I made.. :D

[Billie]

Way cute, Luv! Right now, I have red on my sox, from my shoes bleeding on them. Am trying to get back out in the yard before it gets too hot! One more post and I'm gone!

[GodBlessUSA]

Excellent Luv!n :)

[GodBlessUSA]

I don't know why there was a n after your name. LOL! LUVn. LOL!

[Billie]

Howdy there Billie! Thanks for getting us started this AM. I have been putting out other little fires on the home front & at this point need to get to work on my "other computer" . No jeopardy on next week's thread as long as this computer hangs on.. BUT I will not be able to access my cache of materials that I was going to use so might change directions on what I will do for the thread.

Our drought is over.. washed away just about yesterday evening. No need to water for few days.

Hi, Dolly - am wondering if you EVER slow down!!!! Hope you get your computer working, so you can go with your first plan for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday thread next week. Glad your drought is over. (we had a little rain last night, too; it seems like immediately, everything greens up and perks up!)

I'm off! Gone! Poof!

[luvie]

I don't mind being LUVn! LOL! Thanks! I should have pinged to you, but my brain goes numb after doing one of these! There's so much to read and make sure every little > or " is in the right place! *whew*

[GodBlessUSA]

Hi Billie,
I don't know whether to thank you or yell at you for getting me started on these borders. LOL!

I really do mean, Thanks! I'll get it eventually.:)

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Hello FR Finest!

I hope you like this.

I wanted to use a different table but some of my Background sets are off line and this is all I can access.

The border doesn't quite go with it ,but I think it still looks okay.

What do you think?

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Hey you !

So you finally decided to join, eh!

Welcome to FR Finest my friend!!!!

HUGS

[Mrs.Nooseman]

You are welcome!

I just posted mine and boy it took me a while.LOL.

[luvie]

I thought you were awfully quiet! LOL! Gotta go look at it!

[Mrs.Nooseman]

LOL.
No kidding,just went through the same thing.LOL.

[Diver Dave]

Cryin' over spilled milk? No big deal unless of course it's camel milk. :)

[luvie]

Purdy! I actually like that border! I might just have to steal borrow it!! LOL!

[pookie18]

Played today...will try again on Mon.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

LOL.

Well if I disappear for a little bit that is what I am doing,besides tutoring our good friend GBUSA.;)

[Mrs.Nooseman]

LOL.

You have my permission.

I have a different solid background to go with it, but it is off line, so I had to mix and match.LOL.

[luvie]

I'm gonna have to disappear--but not to set a table. I have GOT to go start getting ready for **** or I will be late for sure. And we have to eat lunch before I go in, too! So--I'll peek in while doing the makeup but basically I will be doing stuff!
