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.

Notice I only enlarged it a bit..Some you can enlarge..others don't enlarge well at all.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

; )

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Hi Dita!{{{HUGS}}}

You look dashing in you cute outfit.

Love the picture of the float.:)

[La Enchiladita]

You're right. I just tried a few others and they didn't enlarge as well....

[La Enchiladita]

Billie found the cute outfit.

I guess we have to get out of our jammies SOMETIMES!!!

LOL.

{{{hUgS}}}

[MEG33]

Lovely rose! I am having such a good time making bouquets..The native iris with the roses give it a lift..The rain we had really hurt some of the roses..but there are always enough to make a bouquet.

A squirrel jumped off a bird feeder right into a clump of Amaryllis as I watched..I chose that spot to cut them as I saw the squirrels were going to break them anyway! The Amaryllis are spectacular in the yard..but I love the small rose bouquets best.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

LOL.

You mean I need to get out of my jammies today?;)

[MEG33]

I vote no!..A low flying small plane buzzed me in the backyard..I was in my nightie..LOL

[Mrs.Nooseman]

LOL.

Now that is funny.:)

I don't plan on getting out of my red PJ's today.:)

I am recouping from about of the cold and stomach flu.

Feeling much better today,so no worries.

[La Enchiladita]

If you need to go somewhere in public, it might be a good idea.

On the other hand, if you just go to a drive-through, no you don't!!

;-]

[Mrs.Nooseman]

LOL.

I have no where to go today ,so I am just fine.:)

[MEG33]

OH..I hate the stomach flu most of all!(((((Hugs)))))

Glad you are better!

[GodBlessUSA]

It's great to love roses and flowers. The bouquet sounds lovely. I can't wait. I still have a lot of time before they bloom but they are leafing out now. :)

Funny watching squirrels. I saw one today who must have had an itch on his back or something. He was rolling all over the ground. Funny. :)

[GodBlessUSA]

[Mrs.Nooseman]

I know.I started out with the chills and sniffles on my days off and then I got hit with that yesterday.Yuck!!

At least I didn't have to suffer by myself my 18 year old had it ,too.

We are both feeling much better today.

[Mrs.Nooseman]
