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.

[The Mayor]

Hi Temple. I read your update in Ink, Good News.
Hope things are better for all of you.

[DollyCali]

How was your date last night?

Did you wear "fire engine red"?

[tuliptree76]

LOL! Unfortunately, he didn't show up. So I just stayed in last night.

[DollyCali]

[DollyCali]

He told me he never did well in math.. maybe he was intiminated?

:-)

[tuliptree76]

LOL! Could be. But I'm not that intimidating, am I? ;-)

[DollyCali]

naw, just a grad student in Taxes/accounting.. just a tad under an IRS agent.

[tuliptree76]

LOL! He shouldn't worry. I won't audit his tax returns. :-)

[Diver Dave]

Oh, you meant this windmill. :)

Heh Heh. Yep, that's the one. We all managed to shoot a hole-in-one over that treacherous course. ;)

Happy Birthday, Colleen!

- - Once Upon A Time - -
in a Land called Eire

lived a family
whose straits were becoming dire.

"Mary, my love, t'is time we took
tha wee one to America
to start anew - -
I want only tha best for you."

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Down through the decades the Family grew,
the Walshes a wonderful example of what
hard-working, loving persons can do!

Today on The Finest
we celebrate the birthday
of our very own Finest Colleen,
whose heart is huge, and talents many.

Thank you, sweet Colleen,
for your loving, giving self.
You add so much to our lives all the year round
describing the activities of your wonderful family,
so that we feel we are a part of it!

We love hearing of the frequent gatherings of 70 or more
celebrating occasions, both happy and sad -
You draw us in to feel the love and caring,
and are ever so grateful for your sharing...

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Even at age 2, she wore red on Fridays
to support the military!!

God bless you abundantly,
dear Colleen - -

~~~ With love, from LadyX ~~~

[martin_fierro]

[lonestar]

That sure is a cute puppy dressed in red!

Weinie

[LadyX]

I'm so delighted to *see* you, martini-ferrari!!

Signed,
The Real Me..:))

[The Mayor]

Hi Maggie.

[LadyX]

'Scuse me fer intrudin' folks - -
Heard all about youse, Weinie, and just for you,
I'm sportin' red for tha troops!!"

[DollyCali]

Ya got me... I was wondering why it was a "post in passing" rather than an entire thread with your pix next to Tiger & Jack N! Glad you had a nice day with them. As a teen I loved minature golf. Many dates were spent tackling the obstancles!

[LadyX]

Greetings, Your Honor!

'Tis a wonderful day in South Carolina - -
Imagine it is where you are, and in most parts of the East this day,
fall making steady strides toward the promised magnificence to come!

[The Mayor]

First really chilly day here, only 46 degrees far cry from the 78 we had on Thursday. The change of the seasons come quickly here. All of a sudden the leaves are changing color, yesterday everything was still green.
