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.

Thanks! I liked that ladies attitude so I adopted it. The tagline space is too short to put her name...Betty Dafour (or something like that).

Gotta go eat dinner now. Talk later.

[snugs]

Is there a website of them?

[freema]

Here's the latest Fairbanks "warmed up in the afternoon"
temperature, Dave - -

[LadyX]

Here is a good photograph of ice fog in Fairbanks:

I've seen it even worse in the middle of the day when everything above, ahead and around you is literally "snow white"!!!

One day that last winter I was out of milk and other essentials and *had* to go to the Commissary.
With the deep snow on the road, few vehicles (1965) could drive in it, so I jumped in my Chevy Greenbrier van with engine in the rear for traction, hung my head out the window, and prayed fervently there were no other fools out and in my path..:))

The streets were laid in perfect grids, so I went down a half dozen blocks, made a left turn, and just a short drive on took me to the Commissary - no other cars in the lot or customers in the store!
V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!!

[luvie]

Yes there is!

DOLL MAKER

ENJOY SNUGS AND EVERYONE!!!

Another one from the weather site.
The street lights give it *some* definition...

The text with it:
"Temperature is -47 and it looks like it might stick around for a bit.
Its pretty typical weather for January in Fairbanks."

[luvie]

Thanks, GB!

Tonight we can pretend that I am back at my aunt's house, because something happened to our cable wireless, and I'm on dial-up tonight. So...guess it'll take me forever to do anything, much less download music! Rats!

[LadyX]

"Another up close shot of the sun going down from the parking garage.
Its pretty cold and the fog is pretty thick in town.
Temperature -43.

[LadyX]

"Everything in Fairbanks is just covered like this."

(Think you're cold in NY, Rus?!")

[LisaMalia]

Have you lost weight? You look amazing in that dress. Must be nice to have a designer, I get my clothes from Walmart....LOL. The working class think, ya know.
You gotta do something about those tan lines though.....:)

[JustAmy]

Wow ..... Amazing pictures of something unimaginable to me.

I love the last one.

Thanks, LadyX

[deadhead]

Hi Amy

I have good friends that recently moved to Fresno, they were renting. Last week they bought a house there. Sad that they moved so far away.
