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

It was an all right day....and here I am. I got home at 3:30....Yay!

See ya whenever we can make it to the same room at the same time.

((((hugs))))

[GodBlessUSA]

Hi LuvW
Just finished making a lasagna for tomorrow night. :)

Glad you are home! Are you going for Mexican tonight?

[luvie]

I am home. I tried to take a nap, but couldn't so now I am reading and eating Cheetos.

We will be going for Mexican soon and then.....it's music time! :D

I have some new jazz tuneage!

Lasagna sounds yummy! Save me some. I work tomorrow night and won't have anything that good! LOL!

[jaycee]

I wore my red hat today with a red peachskin shirt. My Red Hat Club meets once a month for lunch. We just get together and EAT and LAUGH and TALK! We highly respect and love our military.

[DollyCali]

Oh are you a red hatter jaycee? they seem to always have a lot of fun... love the purple/red clothes also..

Going off line for a bit..new monitor, printer, ergo keyboard, mouse-pad & will in process do some needed cleaning in area. If I don't really mess things up, will be back later

I passed up my black tie outing tonight. Had clothes, jewelry etc all ready. Just had an overwhelming day of MURPHY STUFF and late in day found out one of my friend's son's has died (college age).. Just don't feel too festive. In all my complaining about MY PROBLEMS, I know she would DO ANYTHING to trade places w/me with problems of life..

Putting things in perspective is interesting in life..I get ashamed of myself for having pity parties after hearing news like this

for those single folks around & about(or married who just want to visit a bit), the singles thread is posted by Max & Phil this weekend.

I knew it! I knew it! Hehe..


Now, isn't that the truth?!

[La Enchiladita]

I think I saw the comet tonight, @ 5:45 p.m., our dusk. What's the bright light in the west?, I thought. It's not moving, so not a plane or helicopter and too bright to be a star. I wonder. I have to learn more about this very recently-discovered comet, that may turn out to be the brightest one we've ever seen.....!!!!!

[DollyCali]

lotsa challenges getting new hardware goint/ritght

I have never seen a comet

lucky you

[MEG33]

Thanks for the "Maxine's"...LOL

I am having big trouble with my internet connection since late yesterday afternoon.

[stopem]

Good morning!

We are expecting ice all weekend so if you all don't hear from me send out the national guard :)

Not really but the electricity may go out, wish us luck.

Any suggestions to stay warm without a fireplace?

[MEG33]

Tuberous Begonias
*Happy Weekend To All *

[MEG33]

I don't..If my electricity goes I can use my fireplace and hover close. I have been watching the news..I hate ice storms. I am at my daughter's near Houston where an ice storm is unlikely. Good luck,stay safe and hopefully warm.

[Aquamarine]

A kerosene space heater.

[Aquamarine]

Beautiful flower garden!

[MEG33]

Thank you,Aquamarine..My favorite time of year to post flowers is in winter!
