A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....02-10,11,12-06....T.G.I.F. at the Finest
Billie

Posted on 02/09/2006 10:00:35 PM PST by Billie



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!

~ Billie, Dutchess, Dolly Cali, Mama_Bear, GodBlessUSA ~







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. : )

"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.

I am wearing red today and every Friday ~ Billie

Thank you Billie. I appreciate that you think Jeff's song belongs here, because so do I. It will be here as long as possible on Sundays. It always puts me in the mood for worship.

Lucy and Pee Wee are walking down the street, Pee Wee says, "Wait a minute" and then crosses the road. He sniffs around a fire hydrant and returns. The Lucy says, "What was that all about?" Pee Wee replies, "Just checking my messages!"

"It was especially poignant for me having lived in Rapid City, South Dakota for a year, and coming down from Mt. Rushmore, envisioning myself as a Sioux warrior on his horse seeing "specks" way out on the distant plains....having no idea they were pioneer wagons that would lead to the end of Indian civilization in the West."

And me. My first love lived and worked with the Oglala Sioux in South Dakota. My father, (who introduced us) was buried in an Indian tradition to honor his great respect for Native Americans. I was raised with the utmost respect for the Indian warrior and have had the wonderful privilege to run my hands over the soft luster of the wood of a Conestoga wagon that reached it's destination in Denver.

Thank you for the ping, my brother will shed a great many tears when he sees this, perhaps more than me, and that will be good : )

Peace be to this family.

The roads are about 1 mile apart. There is so much beauty in this area. It really is breathtaking at times.

I am so glad that I got to see so much of WV last summer. I felt right at home there.

Great to see you here KET. I hear your son is coming home from Iraq soon. That's wonderful! I am so happy for you and for him and all his family. Seems like it was so very long ago that he left. I know how relieved you will be once he is home.

Take care of our Nan. I hear she has the sniffles. :-(
