A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....09-09 thru 09-11-05....T.G.I.F. at the Finest
Billie, Mama_Bear

Posted on 09/09/2005 12:29:07 AM PDT by Mama_Bear



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. : )

"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

*chuckle*
I was more imagining the song from Within Temptation titled "Somewhere".
(Pretty song, sung rather well.)



Of course, there's the song by Nightwish "Wish I had an Angel"
Has this line in there..

"Last dance, first kiss
Your touch, my bliss
Beauty always comes with dark thoughts"

And then it goes back to metal riffs and heavy drums.

Good afternoon, Mayor! Hope you're having a fine day.

Thanks for your daily lesson in God's Word. "Oh, death, where is your sting?" is something we will be able to proclaim loudly if we belong to the Lord! As it says in Rom. 8:2--We are free from the law of sin and death...!

Wishing all my fellow Freepers a very fine weekend.

Today feels like Autumn. A welcome feeling.

Glad to be back at the Finest. System trouble kept me down for a couple of weeks. Not out of the woods yet, but I've found the trail of gingerbread crumbs.

Good to have you back! Hope you find those little grimlins who are messing you up!

It feels like Autumn here, too, but in West Texas that means that it only gets up to 88* during the day instead of 98 or 100! It was 66* this morning and that felt really good!

I have to find some place that streams it.
Barring me finding somewhere to stream either the video or audio, Bentfeather had some stremaing links for those tow songs.

Feather, I'm going to hunt down a video link for Nightwish - Wish I Had an Angel, and an audio link Within Temptation - Somewhere.

Likely, I will fail, but I will look.

Welcome.
The Within Temptation song is proving more difficult.
