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

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, 2006 - the author is unknown.
I am wearing red today and every Friday ~ Billie

What a neat “birthday cake” - I think Pandas are the cutest things. :)

[Billie]

Thinking about you and your family today, Rus - hope you arrived safely and will also have a safe trip home. Do imagine your Grams will be looking down and smiling warmly tomorrow as you give her eulogy - probably beaming as she's telling all around her, "That's my boy."

Autumn begins September 23rd.

Autumn (and Spring) are my favorite seasons. Your fall leaves are so pretty.

[Billie]

Beautiful, Luv!

[Billie]

That’s so pretty, Meg.

[MEG33]

[Billie]

GREAT ONE... and aren’t you having a great time with a few new graphic techniques. good job Billie!

Thanks, Dolly, and yes, I am having fun, fun, fun! After several weeks of computer headaches I'm churning out dressed-up, gussied-up graphics like there's no tomorrow! :)

[Billie]

Kitty, that rose looks like its petals are made of velvet - exquisite!

[Billie]

Thank you - glad you like the graphic! Both of you post such cute and/or pretty ones to go with every theme.

[MEG33]

Thank you,Billie..I am enjoying your graphics and celebrate your solving your computer problems!..

I have been trying for days to fix the monitor on my desktop..I have a green tinted screen...and it just will not adjust. It’s an old one but a good one.

Thanks, Billie. My fall leaves now look like a big blank box with red x in upper left corner. I’m new at using photobucket, so something went amiss. It works differently from tinypic.

[Majie Purple]

This is a Hymn sung by: the sweet,Peasall Sisters

p.s. I fixed it by re-hosting my images, will not delete them. Billie, feel free to use images I post in your compositions, if you like.

Autumn has always been a favorite of mine, too. I like the crisp air, the dry fallen leaves, apples, spicy hot cider and squashes. The air is so clear after the rainstorm here, that even with city lights all around I could see a brilliant display of stars above (went out at 5:00 a.m.).....
