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.

Hi GBUSA, have been trying to stay away from politics until the election is over but Kerry's comments got me back into the fray this week. Will be so glad when this election is over, it's been particularly ugly this time around.

[Majie Purple]

About 4 years ago, we had such a mild winter, newcomers from California wondered what the big deal was about. We barely got any snow and I was able to work out in the yard all winter long.

That's the winter I want.

[Lady Jag]

May your fall weekend be dreamy

[GodBlessUSA]

Me too! That sounds wonderful working in the yard during winter. :) Last year, I was walking on the beach in January and it was so nice.

I remember last year around this time, we both were praying for a mild winter. We deserved it after those horrendous winters the few years before last. :) It was quite a few years in a row, it was just one blizzard after another. 0 degrees and negatives too.

[GodBlessUSA]

Kitty is so adorable! Thanks :) I hope you have a wonderful weekend too Lady Jag

[Lady Jag]

The only thing that wrecked last winter was the spring - we got our winter then!

It was like sitting through a long mesmerizing movie only to have an end that ruins the whole thing.

[GodBlessUSA]

Usually Friday night we just have pot luck here. My daughter went to a school function with Dad. So my son talked me into taking him out. :) I had steak. It was delicious. Especially since I didn't make it. LOL How about you?

Thanks for the link to the cookies. That will be fun to do with my daughter around the holidays. I think she would enjoy making Gingerbread men cookies. :)

[GodBlessUSA]

Yes, exactly. I rather have winter than dread spring again. We don't want to wear coats in May again. ;)

[GodBlessUSA]

It looks like a good site for a lot of recipes. :)

[visualops]

Awesome! Thank you :)

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Evening visualops :)

[Lady Jag]

I didn't tak my winter coats out of storage till May! That was weird.

[visualops]

Thanks, hi:)

[GodBlessUSA]

It's nice to see you! :) Politics can really get over the top right now. I can't wait till it's over also. Praying the results are good too.

Today my son had to get his flu shot. It was such a long wait. The worse thing about it, they had ABC tv on in waiting room. They kept playing liberal campaign ads one after the other-- Every commercial break. So it's almost needless to say, it made me nuts watching for well over an hour. LOL!

[GodBlessUSA]

We want those coats stored in May. :) That was weird. By May, I can't wait to get in the garden. It's really a let down when it's too cold to plant in May.

[Aquamarine]

You poor thing. We just changed doctors but the one we did have used to keep his TV set on CNN - under lock and key in a clear plastic box. That's unusual behavior for this part of the world. lol
He probably went to one of those lefty colleges.
