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 am wearing red today and every Friday ~ Billie

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!

I asked the mods all three times yesterday when I wrote them if they would post the links - sent them the code. Nada. But it's okay - I didn't want to post them in the *middle* of the comments because they might get lost - with them closer to the end and the link to today's thread, it will be easier if we ever need to go backwards.

Both Lori and Aqua had the same problem trying to copy and paste from FR source code with XP the first time they tried it, using notepad - and it's evidently similar to what happened to you - especially with Lori's Military Prayer post, and the names of the servicemen and women - spaces were there that aren't in the original Prayer post. I never had this kind of problem copying and pasting from FR posted article or comment on Win 98!

We will get all this straightened out and breathe a sigh of relief when we do. Really, we will. :)

Wish I could help you get your stuff together - am *about* to get mine all done!

[Mama_Bear]

but you say to uncheck it

Hi Aqua. I have mine unchecked, and haven't had any problems with spaces popping up in my code like I was before, but, as I said, it might not be what solved the problem.

We will get all this straightened out and breathe a sigh of relief when we do. Really, we will. :)

Yes, it's all just a learning experience. I sure admire you, Dolly, for your "stick-to-it no matter what" attitude.

Need to feed the puppy, he is acting like he just he isn't going to last another minute without some nourishment. LOL

[Billie]

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.

Well, I think I can speak for everyone when I say

I CERTAINLY HOPE SO!!!!!

[Billie]

Hi, Aqua. I think I've got it figured out now, but believe me, I don't plan to copy and paste the code from a previous thread!

[Billie]

Thank YOU for checking in, Flyer! A cam in your living room? How cool is that!

[Billie]

Good afternoon, Miss Kitty! Are you anywhere close enough to Rita to be alarmed? I hope you're high and dry, and safe. (((((((((((((Kitty))))))))))))))

[JustAmy]

Ahhh ... thank you, Billie.

And a belated thank you for Tuesday's Fess Up thread.
I've never had an embarrassing moments. ;-q

This TGIF thread looks like a fun thread for today. Thanks you for the weekend. :)

[Diver Dave]

Just checked out your Mason cam, Flyer. Good lookin' pup you've got there. Unique "mask". Bailey's going through his "teenage years" right now, stubborn at times. Nine months old, and still growing.

[Kitty Mittens]

No, I'm not in the Areas that are Threatened by Rita. I Hope you are in a Safe Area, sweet FRiend.

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks for this, Dave. I am embarrassed to admit how long it took me to "see" what was so amazing about this picture. LOL

Now that I see it, I agree with Billie...."Wow, that IS amazing"!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Same to you, (((((KittyMitts!))))))

Hope you're feeling much better. God bless. : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

: )

[ST.LOUIE1]

Oh, NO! Not your MIL! SNORF!!

LOL!! Let me tell you, you don't want to get on MIL's bad side! ;-)
Fortunately, I got her to her appointment with time to spare, so you lucked out this time.

WHEW! That was close. LOL

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank you, (((((((Louie-Wolf))))))). I'm Holding Onto my Savior during these Days, through His Grace.

Our Lord Bless you, and Everyone at the Finest, with Manifold Blessings from Heaven.

[dixie sass]

You to Kitty Mittens.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Red dress it is.

Have a great TGIF, everybody.

[deadhead]

Have a good weekend, all

Prayers for all in the path of Hurricane Rita

[The Mayor]

Cool, we can keep an eye on how your doing..

[LadyX]

SO glad to know you're all right, guys;
hunkered down and sittin' tall in the saddle!

Relieved you have the three grandkitties there, gunner,
to keep you straight..:))

Flyer, I have the MiniCam for Mason open,
so I can check him out.
Do please coax him before the camera,
and will you wave to us now and then??

Hugs,
Other Other Mother

[GodBlessUSA]

Hi Deadhead
Seems I never see you on at the same time.
You have a wonderful weekend! :)
