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.

I am wearing red today and every Friday ~ Billie

[snugs]

In real life I am dressed the other way round. I have a dark red (claret) pair of jog bottoms on and blue sweater :0)

[dutchess]

oops, the topper turned out to be a "sider". Didn't look that way in preview :o(

[dutchess]

geesh...and then I hicupped! That's what I get for trying to multi task :o) Need to get back to work! BBL!!!

[Kitty Mittens]

Oh, Thank you, Sweet Snugs, it's Beautiful! You've Reminded me of All the Lovely Monarchs and Swallowtail Butterflies that Visit my Little Ranch Each Spring! And then, as Spring Progresses into Summer, the Lightnin' Bugs (Fireflies) Light Up the Night Time So Wonderfully!

Already, the First Meadowlark Flocks are Arriving, Always a Harbinger of the Beautiful Days to Come.

[MEG33]

I have seen meadowlarks only once in my life. I usually keep a lookout on certain sections of a drive between central Texas and Houston..and was lucky to spot them on one such drive(Not the freeway part of the drive!)...I spy scissortails on the wires and hawks,too, on telephone posts...when I am lucky.

[Billie]

Diver really likes that red car and wants to be your driver. He asked first so Louie will just have to chase it down the street

Oh, what I do for you guys. :)

    

[DollyCali]

The entire weekend thread is pure class Billie.. from the Jag to the mansion to the lovely gowns & the layered tables.

Great job!!!!!

Love the car w/dave driving & wolfie chasing...

:-)

back to work... takes me an extra hour to pick up after Ms. Josy! she loves to open drawers, cupboards, closets & drag thngs all over the place

[MEG33]

ROFLOL!

[JustAmy]

LOL

I'll suppy some coffee. :)

[DollyCali]

well.. I figured that since you were from California(fiber and all that stuff), after the freep we would eat (suppy) the signs..

when in Rome....

:-)

[Mama_Bear]

LOL! Fiber? What's that? ;-)

[JustAmy]

How cute!!

Thank you for this wonderful, patriotic thread, Billie.

[Mama_Bear]

Looks a little hazy/smoggy in Santa Monica this morning, but it pretty much always is. I tried to post this webcam here on the thread, but it is a java script thingy that FR doesn't allow. If you are java enabled, just click on it (the page will open in a new window).....

Now I want to go to the beach, and it isn't in the cards this weekend. :-(

[Mama_Bear]

LOL!! Well, gosh Billie, I'm a bit disappointed. How come you didn't put US in the car with him? ;-)

[JustAmy]

"fiber and all that stuff"

You must be talking about almonds and chocolate. That's my type of fiber and stuff. :)

[JustAmy]

"Now I want to go to the beach"

I watched some of the Pebble Beach golf tournament yesterday. The weather was absolutely beautiful!!!! I considered playing hooky today and heading for Monterey.

[Diver Dave]

LOL. Poor ol' Louie. :)

That car will go great with my maroon Mustang convertible.

[Mama_Bear]

I considered playing hooky today and heading for Monterey.

Awww....man! It's been forever since I have been to the coast. Now I REALLY want to go. :-(

But, I guess now isn't a good time to ask JK to take me. He has come down with a miserable cold. He rarely is so sick he can't go into the studio, but he is home today. Poor guy.

[Majie Purple]

And it couldn't have been done without you...Billie Dolling!(My Dress,Her Dress...Everywhere a Dress,Dress! )

[Majie Purple]

Thank ya kindly!For the compliment.
