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.

Love the meaning of TGIF you posted, Dave.

[Billie]

Hi, GeeBee - thank you. :)

[Billie]

Pretty red butterfly, Majjie!

[Billie]

Wishing you a wonderful and safe weekend as well! Love that you put on your red coat on Fridays. :)

[JustAmy]

Your pledge graphic is adorable, Billie.

Looks like you could also use it on a Warm Fuzzy Wednesday.

Hope all are well at the Finest; I've been fighting email trouble for at least 2 or 3 days. :( Probably missed lots of email that I'm not even aware of.

Grrrrr

[JustAmy]

** Smile **

Luv it.

[Billie]

WOOHOO! I got my red rock on! LOL!

Oh, I think I'll go put mine on, even though I'm not going anywhere right now. Will still go with my red shirt and white capris. :)

[JustAmy]

T G I F !!!

Happy Friday!

[Billie]

I don't know if you're still here, Pal - I love the "Red Rock" you posted - it was hanging up and had a hard time loading it, so I resized and uploaded to tinypic. It's beautiful!

[Billie]

Hi, Amy, thanks! I did that pledge graphic several weeks ago, and I agree - it could be used for Warm Fuzzy Wednesdays easily! Also Dutchess has used it on her pet threads. :)

Hate you've been having email problems and hope it's been resolved without losing mail! (Hope you get this one) :)

[Billie]

** Smile **

Luv it.

Thank you. :)

[Billie]

Such a cuties! :)

[Billie]

Phooey! I wasn't seeing double - just typed that wrong! Should be: "Such a cutie! :)"

[JustAmy]

Grrr ..... I've lost lots of mail that I'm aware of and who knows how much more.

Probably at least a dozen from Lori and at least 4 from my son. Others are probably wondering why I ignored them. :(

[JustAmy]

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

[GodBlessUSA]

LOL, I didn't even notice weithout :)
I'm hope to hold off on the heat for another month or more. That would be nice. I also hope we have a mild winter this year.

I bought a beautiful Gerbera daisy plant in June at the grocery store when I did my first grocery shopping when I came back to my house after a long absence ..It grew new leaves..blooms lasted a long time and it brightened up the house. The buds dried up though..I had a big foliage plant..It is still hanging in there but on the wane.

Billie, the chocolate dessert has me longing!

[JustAmy]

Happy Red Friday, everyone.

My bro and I are wearing red to support the troops.

[MEG33]

Thank you PAL..I love the "red rock" Beautiful!

[MEG33]

Love your butterfly!
