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.

any computer whizs know why the link in prior thread will NOT open in mozilla but will open in Explorer?

Well, I'm more of a whizzer than a whiz, but it works fine for me with Firefox. Might try poking the "tools>options" tabs and see if security settings are too high.

I have to say I think this is one of your prettiest tables, Miss Luvbo! :) Wolfie has such cute nicknames for everyone. :) "GeeBee" is about the best! Somehow GBU has just never been easy for me to type - I usually get it BGU

[Billie]

WASHINGTON (Nov. 19) - She grew up in the rough-and-tumble of a family auto racing business, went through concealed-weapons training, and bears a local nickname seldom applied to shrinking violets: "Mean Jean."

So when Representative Jean Schmidt, an Ohio Republican, created a furor on her 75th day in Congress by lobbing the word "coward" toward a Democratic war hero, those who know her best were anything but surprised.

I LOVE this gal! Saw a bit of it on Russert's show this morning! WHOO HOO!!!

[luvie]

I love Louiebo's nicknames, too! And I nearly always get GB's name backwards before I backspace and correct it! LOL!

Thanks for the compliment. I enjoyed designing it. Jeff said when he saw it that it was exactly what he had in mind when he was writing the song. So that made me feel especially good!

[DollyCali]

I was listening via Internet stream to Cspan & really was excited. I couldn't believe all the boos & shouting. Sounded like British House of Commons.

The Rats can dish it out but sure can't take it

[DollyCali]

Luv, does Jeff have a web site? CD out? I like the way it goes into minor keys. Would like to share info with others but not necessarily deprive him of income from sales.

[luvie]

He has 2 CDs out, and I have both of them! ;o) They are wonderful.

Just freepmail him and he'll tell you what you need to do. I know he would appreciate that others are enjoying his beautiful tunes.

[DollyCali]

Gee, Louie never flirts w. me or gives me "sweetie pie" names...

wonder if this had anything to do with it?

HERE ...(posts 12, 13, 14, 16)

[DollyCali]

oh, he is a FReeper? what is his screen name? Is this Jeff Head?

[DollyCali]

ah, I think I figured out ..Texas Songwriter.. not just descriptive adjectives, but a screenname. Thanks

[luvie]

I'm glad you figured it out...I was absolutely no help, was I! Sheesh! I had forgotten that I didn't put his FReeper name on the table. ;o)

What a dork I am! *sigh*

[Billie]

,i>I was listening via Internet stream to Cspan & really was excited. I couldn't believe all the boos & shouting.

I know! It was actually comical! I loved it! I wanted to hug her!

[DollyCali]

no you put it there.. I just didn't realize it was a screen name.

Olay, lets "discuss" who is the bigger dork? I win!

[luvie]

Okay how 'bout this...I put it on there then forgot that I did! It's only been an hour since I posted it! Now, it's your turn! LOL!

[DollyCali]

I'm blonde (opps you are too!)

[luvie]

LOL! Guess we have to call a draw! Anyhoo....you should be able to reach him; I just "spoke" to him earlier today.

[SpookBrat]

Thank you for your beautiful post. My heart is so heavy.

LOL! Terrific Dolly. :)

You are a knock out. Your hair experiment turned out to be a huge success. :) I colored my hair different once. Somehow I picked the wrong hair color at the store. Unfortunately, I didn't realize until long after the color was on. It wasn't a good result. ;)

I was teasing St.Louie. But I chickened out, and deleted my picture to him. Being new, I was afraid he would think I was an odd one. :). After St. Louie and Billie were kidding back and forth about me. I told him I was decades older than my picture and left a very unattractive cartoon of a very scary looking lady at the beach. :) I should have left it, He's so welcoming, I think he would have laughed. :)
