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.

Hi, there, Mrs.N - TGIF wouldn't be the same without that graphic! LOL

[Mrs.Nooseman]

:)

I am so glad that I found it and that it brings you joy.;)

[Billie]

Well, I'm glad it's not just *Me*! Have seen so many multiple posts lately, and that's why - when we hit post the first time, they're not showing up, so many Freepers *post* it again, and again - finally, it shows all of them! I really do try to check My Comments before *posting* a comment again. :)

[Billie]

Red is a happy color - hard to stay grumpy when wearing red. LOL

[luvie]

Awwwwww...I'm sorry. What a bummer!

[luvie]

You???? Grumpy???? I just do not believe that! Just grab another cup of coffee!

Which reminds me....I haven't had my tea yet! Yark! Gotta travel with the laptop to the kitchen now!

[luvie]

LOL! And here I was thinking there was an epidemic of *hiccups* around here!

[Billie]

I am so glad that I found it and that it brings you joy.;)

:) When I first started the TGIF thread here, I saved a whole bunch of tgif graphics, and used that one a couple of times. I just think she is so cute!

[GodBlessUSA]

I don't know. Just one of those wakeup on the wrong side of the bed days. LOL!

[Mrs.Nooseman]

HUH? I didn't realize that you are today.

[SheLion]

Isn't she sweet!!!!

Hi Billie! Hi Everyone!

[Mrs.Nooseman]

That is why I love to post her.:)

I do look like that, at the end of my work week.LOL.

[Billie]

LOL! And here I was thinking there was an epidemic of *hiccups* around here!

It's hard *not* to REPOST when we're so used to seeing our post right away, but if we notice it's happening a lot, then a good idea to check before hitting the post button again. :)

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Thanks.:)

[Billie]

UH-OH! Smile, Grumpy! (Did he EVER? I've forgotten) :)

[Mrs.Nooseman]

LOL.

No you are not.;)~chuckle~

Enjoy your day off.:)

[GodBlessUSA]

TGIF!
Woo Hoo!

[GodBlessUSA]

LOL!

[Billie]

Well, hi there, Ms Lion!!! Good seeing you this morning!

That little girl's a keeper alright. :)

[GodBlessUSA]

Well, I guess I'm not as bad as Grumpy. I don't think he did ever smile that I can remember. :)
