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.

She has been saying she wanted some snow on Long Island.
Pehaps she and Lucy will build a snowman and post a photo of it here!

LOL I just noticed I left the Iris tag on it instead of Flowers in the Snow..I couldn't decide which picture..but thought with snow falling in a lot of the country, the crocus would be best..Oh my!

[The Mayor]

They are getting slammed down state and in Massachusetts, my brother said they had a foot and were only 1/2 way through the storm..

[Majie Purple]

Nanner...Nanner...Nanner!{:O)} In my neck of the woods it's sunny & blue sky abounds; no snow at all!Those flowers and the snow are pretty together...Snow doesn't usually equate along with flowers. Amazing shot to get the blooms & snow in one.

[MEG33]

;) I like it best when I post and leave all my reminder links at the top of the picture..!;)

Snow would be a real oddity near Houston..but it happens..I had a crust of ice on the bird baths this morning but it has been sunny and clear..Friday we got some rain..we could us some more. It has been a very warm winter.

[DollyCali]

Looking forward to the party pix...

Happy Birthday Rus!

[deadhead]

Hi :-) The snow is absolutely beautiful, I love it! Sitting here as I type looking out my window, the snow is very heavy right now and the winds are picking up. It was not as bad as I expected when I went out this morning. Lucy loves playing in the snow, LOL...she runs like a rabbit. A couple of pics from this morning. Didn't make a snowman, but that is a good idea.

[deadhead]

Happy Birthday wishes to you. Hope you had a wonderful day!

[The Mayor]

LOL!!!!

[The Mayor]

Thank you!

Looks like a light dusting of snow.. : )

[deadhead]

You're Welcome :-)

"Looks like a light dusting of snow.. : )"

LOL, I know what you mean, having lived in Utica and Plattsburgh. To you folks upstate, this is a light dusting of snow. I think we have about a foot right now. Central Park has about 2 feet.

[The Mayor]

2ft in central park... wow. I have a new toy, a john deere lawn tractor with a snowblower attachment. Works great in the driveway and fits perfect on the sidewalk.. I wish I was closer to you.. : )

[deadhead]

"I have a new toy, a john deere lawn tractor with a snowblower attachment"

Great, you sure do need that where you live. Wish you lived closer too, wouldn't have to shovel that driveway this morning :-) But, I did have help, and the snow was not that heavy wet snow, so it went OK, and I got some exercise.

[The Mayor]

Here it is, as you can tell, I used it yesterday..

[deadhead]

Very nice!! Bet you are very happy with your new toy :-)

[The Mayor]

Oh Yes.. Saves my back..
