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!
~ Billie, Dutchess, Dolly Cali, Mama_Bear ~

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.
received this in my email June 10th, the author is unknown. I am wearing red today and every Friday ~ Billie

LOL! Come do my house! Sorry, won't be able to. With gas at $3 /gal, I'm only getting 20 rooms per gallon. Time for a tune-up.
Thanks for the "help" Billie. Now that guy almost looks familiar. Guess my task needed a woman's touch afterall. :)

Well, then it seems like you took a (much-needed) break for a while -
getting used to new photo editing software. :)
Yes, but *you* have been the benefactress<<< : ) of several lately.
Before that....yes, was out of biz. : )

I know there is a few Finest Freepers near Houston.. I hope they got far enough away.Thinking of some of our Finest Houstonites - hope you are out of harm's way. Allegra, especially thinking of you, being so far away from your home and your kitties.
(Meg, I think I read that you're in the Houston area?)

You're welcome for the 'help' - when I saw you had it uploaded, thought you might as well have it *be* you, and wearing a red shirt to work in. :)

We are stocked up and hunkered down, ice-ammo-food and booze.
I've got Mom's cats while she has moved to the North side.
A few of us have a standing plan to migrate wherever somebody has power..
But we always do that!;-)

The last thing to come inside will be my flag.
And it will be the first to go back out.
It's kinda like a jungle with all the plants inside!

and thanks for nice start for weekend here billie. sorry about your posting problems.. wonder if it is catchy Finest virus? sorry, didn't mean to share THAT! and I should have posted the bottom yesterday.. sorry. You could have "suggested" or done it, I really was not fully functioning yesterday, I will admit!
slow going w/my picture editing. I have about 400 now that I will separate into 4 groups & work up one group (you know the routine...crop, brighten, contrast etc).

Hey ..... ((( Bro )))
I've been a lurker this week. :(
Do you think it is too late in the year to catch some butterflies? We have some wasps and bumblebees hanging around here but I haven't seen many butterflies. :(
I think next week will be a little more calm than this week has been. I might surprise everyone and be able to become part of the Finest again.

That's what I was going to tell Billie. On XP after you open View Source you need to click on Format then check Word Wrap but you say to uncheck it, so it's one or the other. I had alot of trouble with that in the beginning.
To: DollyCali; Billie
please keep us posted over weekend If the MasonCam is up and running you know I at least have electricity. . .

Same thing here except I do have a few butterflies left. : )

I surely do hope so. We miss you, dear.
