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.

[Billie]

Morning, Finest!
Have a great weekend

[Diver Dave]

Mornin' Billie.

Rain in The Big Valley today. Guess I'll work on inside projects today.

Happy TGIF To The Finest!

Wear Red On Friday To Support Our Troops

[Diver Dave]

Dorothy, is that you?

[Lady Jag]

There's no place like home, Dave!

[MEG33]

Good Morning! Love your red shoes!

[Lady Jag]

Thanks, they're my favorite shoes, though I don't get to wear them nearly enough.

[Kitty Mittens]

Good Morning to the Finest! Praying Everyone has a Blessed and Safe Weekend.

Miss Kitty

[MEG33]

Love it! Are you snowed in..?

[Lady Jag]

We have probably had less snow than you have!

We've had only 1.7 inches this year and I do not miss it!

[MEG33]

I haven't seen snow at all...but that's normal. I have had one beautiful snow since I moved in 13 years ago...of course it was also mixed with sleet.

[Lady Jag]

Playing the odds doesn't always pay off. Parts of Texas have had more snow than we have. The weather map has been topsy turvy this season!

[MEG33]

Ice storms are more common than snow storms ..They look pretty but really do damage.

[USMCWife6869]

Good morning/afternoon everyone!! I hope everyone is well today. I have a nasty cold, but it's Friday, so a few more hours, and I can go home. Hubby got his Smallpox shot for his deployment on Wednesday, so he isn't feeling so hot right now either. But we are alive, and other than mild ailments, we are healthy!!!

I am fostering a dog for a cruelty case right now, and she is very sweet. Quite a handful. She is half the size of my female boxer, but is trying very hard to usurp the alpha female role. I am doing my best to defend Princess' place as ruler of the home, however. LOL. So much fun being owned by a boxer. As far as the foster dog goes, it will always amaze me that a dog can be so abused and be so very loving. They really do bounce back quickly. Doing this keeps my mind off the impending deployment, so it works out all around.

[Lady Jag]

I've been in northeast Texas during snowstorms. I've been in a few southers states during snow. And I have learned that you all don't get much of it because of your snow removal equipment and your drivers.

Now, this is an ice storm --

Great thread and Pledge, Bille! Wearing red here to support our troops on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan!.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Wearing my red rock (jasper?) today. Not feeling too well, probably from forgetting to take all my vitamins the past few days. Everyone enjoy your weekends.
