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.

Thank you for bringing us another weekend thread.
Hope you are enjoying this beautiful day.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Mayor.
Thank you for bringing us our Daily Bread every morning.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

As you know Amy, I used my old used car to pedal to the grocery store to get things for The Finest.

While it took 54 trips to bring back everything, here is the spread I have set up in The Finest Dining Room!!

Help yourselves!

[luvie]

How perfectly wonderful that looks. And just in time for lunch. I was beginning to get hungry!

[The Mayor]

Rainy, chilly fall day here in WNY..
Sun is shining inside though. Thanks Louie!

[luvie]

Good Saturday morning, Rus! Looks like you guys are getting some cold, wet weather today. Hope you don't get snow.

Thanks for the lesson in God's Word...it is always needed!

[The Mayor]

Thanks Amy!
We are doing well.

[JustAmy]

Happy Saturday, (((( Bro )))).

Thank you for the cute, funny surprise in my mailbox yesterday.
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

[JustAmy]

Ahhh .. thank you. I'm sorry you had to make so many trips but you set a lovely table.

Did you hear my tummy?

[The Mayor]

They do say we could see some flurries...
I'm not ready for snow, the weather changes here over night.

[JustAmy]

I'm happy to hear that all is well with you and yours, Rus.

Not much news here. Later this morning, we are going to Costco to do some grocery shopping and hopefully a little Christmas shopping as well.

I hate thinking about Christmas already .... Thanksgiving is still a month away.

[The Mayor]

Christmas, aaah! Not ready for that.

I am working on a story that will blow the door open in the corruption in Erie County.
Hopefully a Press Conference will be coming very soon.
Millions of dollars in waste, abuse and corruption.

[tuliptree76]

Hi Amy. Happy Saturday to you too.

[luvie]

Brrrrrrr--hope they are wrong for your sake. Once the snow gets started there on the lake, you guys usually have tons of it.

Do you have to get all your building projects wrapped up before that happens?

Any latest campaign news?

I'm watching Wilma--my son is on the east coast of Florida. Who knows how they will be impacted by this thing!

[tuliptree76]

Good afternoon, Mayor. Thank you for the Our Daily Bread post.

[tuliptree76]

Wow! Thank you!
