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 even better than that, we got the call last Thursday night that our little grandson was born at last. D-I-L and baby are doing great. Our son is ecstatic. Our little granddaughter (will be 3 in Dec.) is---uh---less than thrilled. :o)"

What a joy that is, with a second safe arrival!
Like my experience was with my first grandchild, he is too far away for you to see and hold him yet, but the thrill is permanent..:))
What are the names of your two grandchidren?

[Billie]

Meg, that link is indeed a "Don't Miss" and a Keeper. Thanks for the heads up.

[Billie]

Hi, Rus - how's it going with the foot now? Is it about healed yet?

[Billie]

LOL! What a cute chicken! I'll have bacon with my scrambled eggs, a few hashbrowns, and cinnamon toast. :)

[Billie]

Hi, Kitty - that is a toasty warm looking sky. :) Hope you're enjoying your weekend.

[Billie]

Am so enjoying all your cute AND pretty graphics! Sorry I was absent most of yesterday and didn't get to say hi. (it's a weekend thing - just can't seem to be around very much)

[Billie]

That's much too cute! LOL Bears have it made, don't they?!

[Billie]

You sexy thang - always find those *WOW* red dresses, don't you! :)

[Billie]

The Belgian chocolate producer Guylian made the chocolate egg with at least 50,000 bars (or 1,950KG of chocolate) on behalf of the city of St. Niklaas.

Good grief! I'd say they wouldn't miss a tiny little bite out of it, but yuk! that guy's got his hands on it - think of all the others' germs on that big egg! LOL

[LadyX]

Help, Colleen!
Have forgotten your brother's exact screen name!
Please hail him here for me, to see what we think
of one of our Prize Posters on The Finest..:))

[Billie]

I'd like one of those banana strawberry frappes.

I second that! Yum!

[Billie]

Billie ..... the Graphic is perfect, as always. Thank you for showcasing Bob's poems so beautifully.

Thank you, Amy. I've been trying out different photo editing software, and really having fun. A little from here, a little from there. :)

[Billie]

Thanks, Aqua. And I'm glad you're giving your eyes some rest - and getting other things done! :)

[LadyX]

Hello, tulip!
Didn't mean to ignore you,
but was distracted by the reply from my Woofie Toofums..:))

- - handsome fella, eh?!" - -

[Billie]

Speaking of getting other things done - I really have to get away from here and do just that.

[LadyX]

Wow, Colleen!
I just answered the telephone in The Finest Family Room,
and the caller asked me to relay his video message:

"Happy Birthday to a true All-American girl.
America needs more folks just like you!"

[LadyX]

It must be time for A Hearty Laff..:))

[Lakeside]

Overwhelmed, oh my! And the keel is far from even yet but you are so right, the Lord has been so merciful through it all.

And the two joys of my joys are Ava and Jack.

[LadyX]

"my joys are Ava and Jack"

Brings to mind this Ava - -

And this Jack (wearing red!) : - -

Hard acts to follow, but all children manage to blaze their own trails..:))

[Victoria Delsoul]

Faith is God's antidote for fear.

Indeed.

Hope you're enjoying your day.
