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.

DEDICATED TODAY TO TEXAS COWBOY

"FATHERS AND SONS"
Jeff Russell

[ST.LOUIE1]

Amen, Louie! I wish I had known him before he got so sick. I feel like I missed knowing a real hero and cowboy!

He was a good man, good sense of humor and also a handsome guy. A true 'Cowboy'

[ST.LOUIE1]

Very nice, Luvbo.

You have a song written for you, when's the book coming out? LOL

[luvie]

I know he is special...I haven't visited a thread yet that someone didn't have a tribute to this man! God bless his family in their time of sorrow.

[luvie]

Ha-ha! Jeff was talking about his dad...he had a hard time recording this song. It does remind me of my dad, however. I'm afraid I never appreciated him enough.

Louiebo! :o)

[ST.LOUIE1]

It does remind me of my dad, however. I'm afraid I never appreciated him enough.

I can't say the same, my dad was truly special and I always knew it. : )

Louiebo! :o)

Kinda cute. LOL

[luvie]

Well...you're kinda cute!

[luvie]

Good afternoon, Mayor. Thank you for our lesson from God's Word.

Has it warmed up a little there in western NY?

[DollyCali]

Nice Luv!

Afternoon greetings Sistah's & all of the Finest!

I am working on a "little HTML" project for tomorrow's Lord's day post as the Ohio State/Mich game begins. AND

do any of you ever "experiment w/ your hair?

I just cut mine.. maybe about 5 inches in some places..AND am doing another color experiment. Mostly LIGHT blond but added medium ash & bright red.

I may wear a bag on my head tonight at the theater!!!

:-)

But, I have been playing with colors on hair for 30+ years. Most of the time the results are good.. but other times my mind set is.. well 4-6 weeks & it will be gone or well softened!

[luvie]

Wow..that sounds like an interesting hair color. Maybe it will look fabulous and you can post a picture to show us!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Well...you're kinda cute!

Hey, you flirtin' with the Wolfie? COOOOOL!

How's about a spin on my hog?? LOL

It will have to wait 'til later though, I have to leave for awhile. Later, Luvbo. : )

[luvie]

I just happen to love motorcycles!

I gotta go too....work this afternoon. Have a great weekend!

[DollyCali]

washed off & hard to tell exactly as it is still wet but seems to be a strawberry blondish.. I was wanting it darker.. will try to get some pix tonight. Going to do something I rarely do.. VERY LARGE rollers. I have naturlly curly hair (which translates to fuzzy curls all over the place. ) Now & then I go for a more tailored look..

almost 50 here now. will put in rollers & take pooches to park for run..

[luvie]

It's 56* here and very pretty and sunny. Kind of breezy, but we're used to that. I'm off to work in a bit. I'll bet your hair looks really pretty that color.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Awesome.......

:)

[Billie]

Sure glad you made this for me. : )

I'm just glad you like it and happy to see you use it! :*

[Diver Dave]

I remember when you created that graphic for COB/TC.
Had the good fortune to meet him in FResno at the FResno FReeper picnic.
A great guy who proudly proclaimed his faith in Jesus Christ and the Promises from our Heavenly Father.

Semper Fi, Marine!

[Kitty Mittens]

Welcome as a Finest Hostess, GodBlessUSA!

[deadhead]

Beautiful. God Bless TexasCowboy, I first knew TC when his screen name was Cob1. May he Rest In Peace. Sad, very sad

Prayers for TexasCowboy and his loved ones
