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

[MEG33]

She is a cutie!

[snugs]

I am not aware of wearing red for the military in England but then again how many people in the States apart from people involved in this forum and other things linked to the military would be?

[snugs]

Whoops so did I, lovely graphic on the pledge today.

[luvie]

Of course...when I have to get ready I disappear for periods of time, too.

Good steak place? We have one here called Logan's Roadhouse that is very good. We go there whenever we want a real treat. They have wonderful steaks and the most amazing fresh homemade rolls.

[snugs]

Sounds wonderful we have a good Chinese Restaurant that do an eat a much as you want buffet.

[snugs]

All scrubbed up from stock taking and back to normal Friday wear

[MEG33]

Amaryllis
We cut a bouquet of these yesterday and there are dozens of buds ready to open in the front bed and along the side of the house..They are as large as saucers.

[luvie]

Well, that sounds good, too. I really like Chinese food. All this talk of food is making me hungry for lunch....and I'm having a time making up my mind where to go for reals! LOL!

Supporting The Troops
Wearing Red on Friday



Well not "exactly" this.

Would scare everyone away if I posted what I wear doing yard work!

but the rain has started before I could burn my huge brush pile.

Hope all of the Finest have an outstanding weekend!

[DollyCali]

Wonderful pledge! the grainy grey is a great background

[MEG33]

I agree! I would not want anyone to see me in my backyard garb!

I love that hat!

[luvie]

Ya look mighty cute. Might as well go to lunch with the rest of us before doing the yard work!

I gotta go to really eat now. See you red-wearin' gals later!

[LadyX]

This has to be my favorite Pledge of Allwgiance graphic, Miss Billie,
and so very fitting for Friday's thread paying tribute to the troops
by wearing red, featuring their Commander-in-Chief.

[LadyX]

"Pledge of Allwgiance:

Fess up, whoever put the "w" instead of the e in Allegiance!!

[snugs]

Well I have just sat down to my evening meal, Cheese and Bacon Quiche, raw baby sweetcorn, potato salad, iceberg lettuce with ranch dressing sent to me by WV Nan

[Majie Purple]

Hi Meg! Thanks for the red flower pic ping! Those are a type of poppy correct?

[snugs]

As you are now aware after Dolly's excellent thread about me my favourite sport is football (soccer).

Today Condi Rice is in Britain our Forgein Secretary also is a football supporter and goes to most of Blackburn's home gams. Today he gave Condi a tour around the club and she was presented with a shirt.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice holds a Blackburn Rovers soccer shirt as she poses for photographs with British Foreign Secreatry Jack Straw at the Ewood Park stadium in Blackburn, northern England, March 31, 2006

[Majie Purple]

Thanks for the instructions Billie will refer back to them for future posts...As needed.re: Atop & center of gifs.

[Majie Purple]

Happy 10th B-Day Christian! : )

[LadyX]

Greetings across the pond, snugs!
I LUV QUICHE!

I'm sitting here eating my lunch while I freep -
made a crab and tiny shrimp salad.
Yesterday I finished two days of devouring a whole bag
of baby spinach with homemade hot bacon dressing!
[in addition to full meals, of course]

I'm in the odd position of having to eat like crazy now
to maintain minimal weight...
am going 'back to basics' and loving all the things I had
growing up, and then some.
Stuff required protein like crazy -
meat, meat, eggs, cheese, more meat,,:)
