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.

Unfortunately have not sorted the camera out yet I have to get a friend to take me to the shop as I do not drive and it one of those out of town locations. Used to be in the High Street but in course of so called improvements they have now moved to an industrial park where is there a car accessory shop, carpet shop, supermarket, fitted kitchen and bedroom shop (MFI) and Staples.

A very happy birthday to you, Billie
May it be your best birthday ever!

Sweet FRiends, I was counting on today slipping by quietly, but you didn't *get the memo*. :)

I couldn't let this go by without thanking you for the special cards you made for me and hope you don't mind an all in one response.

snugs, I wrote you privately earlier but do want to tell you again, "Thank you" - the tulips in the lavendar 'frame' are so pretty. I'm glad you're enjoying Photo Explosion - lots of really neat stuff there!

Ah, Pepe Le Pew, you really know how to win a girl's heart with those flowers. :)

My, my "The Boys" look dashing in that red convertible. Good thing Jack's driving, 'cause Bailey's not old enough for driver's license yet! :)

Hi, Meg. I'm happy to see you using the table templates of a couple of weeks ago (saw your plaid on the other day, too!) Thank you for the birthday wishes!

Luv, those pastels are just beautiful, and thank you for the wishes. (Thanks for pinging me to your post at the Canteen last night - I love seeing what you're doing with the backgrounds - the red plaid and the blue together look great)

[luvie]

You're welcome--just have a wonderful birthday!

You have given all of us so many gifts with the font and backgrounds.....and I am really enjoying all of it! Thanks for looking at my Canteen post--it was a work of love! Plus, they aren't taking as long to figure out as they did at first. Lordy, I have learned to read!

[DollyCali]

(since our little "secret" is out.....)

Happy
Birthday
Billie!!!!

[Billie]

LOL Thanks, Dolly. (You love it, don't you?!) I'm gone now! Hugs!
