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.

[GodBlessUSA]

Oh no. That song. That's worse.LOL!!!

[Mrs.Nooseman]

LOL.

Well maybe it will carry me through the day.~chuckle~

[GodBlessUSA]

[Billie]

Good seeing you, too, Billie. I thought I had better stop in and say hello so you won't think I forgot about you.

Thanks for keeping me on the ping list! :)

Hope everything is going well for you! Stop in anytime - we're always glad to see you - have many on the main ping list that only drop in occasionally. :)

[Billie]

YIKES!!!! They don't look very friendly! Can we sic them on some other thread instead? :)

[luvie]

EEEKKKK! I don't think they have thumbs to hold the cups! LOL!

[LadyX]

I have dialup, and yes - there has been a considerable time lag between hitting Post and your Reply actually appearing on the thread.

I've had this happen for days (and often in the past), and learned patience is a virtue..:))

What I learned to do is go back to Forum on another open window, and then to New Posts to You/My Comments - you should see THERE what is "still in the pipeline from or to you!"

Last night I saw there a Reply to me from Dolly, and it was a good 5-10 minutes before hitting Refresh brought it forth.

Don't know the reason, and don't care, just so we *have* access to our Lifeline to the World!!

Billie can tell you how in '97 and '98, etc. when you posted anything, it stayed in plain view on the front page for hours, so few of us on at any given time!!
[The bad aspect was no Preview, but we overlooked any and all typos]

[LadyX]

Now, Billie and Luvvy, do not judge books by their cover!

When I arrived, they actually were in a circle praying for our troops, and then planning to go to D.C. to Freep with Our Guys & Gals in front of Hillary's house!!

Wouldn't THAT be Speshul?!!

[Billie]

Okay, one more cute animal picture - and I need to get away from here! :)

[Mrs.Nooseman]

I have cable and experience the same lag,but like you I have learned to go to my comment page after posting to make sure it went through.LOL.

I find it worse when FR is moving slow and I am more likely to double post during that time.:)

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Adorable.

Have a great day.

[luvie]

Wouldn't THAT be Speshul?!!

[luvie]
