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. : )

"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

Squirrels around here are mostly annoying, darting little pests.

However, when the one in the tree outside the window starts twitching around, it entertains my kitty!

[MEG33]

Kitty Mittens
You gave me a lift by just posting here!
Prayers for Cheryl and for you, too! (((Hugs)))

[Majie Purple]

Glad to read that you're feeling better today!

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

This is everything in my Billie creations, I'm ready no matter what Friday requires!

[MEG33]

They do entertain the kitties!

[Mrs.Nooseman]

That was my thought ,too.:)

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Thanks.

I am glad that I am feeling better,I hate being ill.:)

[GodBlessUSA]

LOL, Kitty entertained by squirrels, how cute. :) Funny, my dog will run out and chase the squirrels eating. I feed them in the back corner. It keeps them from the feeders. There are just a few. I noticed when I let the dog out, the squirrels will actually stay longer each time. I think they enjoy the game with the dog. :) I just pray my dog never gets one.

[GodBlessUSA]

Hi PreviouslyA
How are you? You sure are ready for Fridays. You look great!

[Mrs.Nooseman]

LOL.

My Kitty chased one up a tree not to long ago and the squirrel was chatting up a storm and threw pine cones at my kitty.

Kitty had a funny look on is face and moved away from the tree.LOL.

[La Enchiladita]

Yes! Chattering is exactly what they do. I can imitate it and it makes them crazy!

I hope your dog doesn't catch one either, GeeBee, because squirrels are RODENTS!

UGH.

[GodBlessUSA]

That must have been so cute. :) They are too funny. Are your squirrels grey squirrels?

My neighbor always chases them. They do throw pine cones. I told her if you antagonize them, they will fight back. LOL

[GodBlessUSA]

Oh good you are still here. :) I've been giving the squirrels a heads up now when she goes out because I worry about that. They can be very vicious if cornered too.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

HEY, GBUSA! I've been actually DOING my work!, so I haven't been here much lately. I have to thank Billie for how I look, she's the designer! How have you been?

PAL

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Yup, it was a big gray squirrel and he was quite noisy.LOL.

[GodBlessUSA]

I'm doing well, Thanks! It's good to see you. Now, don't work to hard. ;) I agree, Billie is so talented. She is so kind to share with us.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Yep.

: )

[GodBlessUSA]

Dita are your squirrels grey too?

I use to try to fight them off the feeders and then gave them their own. I couldn't win that fight. They are very entertaining. One squirrel will come up on, up to the window in kitchen, if they are out of food. I like them now. :)

[MEG33]

Our squirrels have their own feeders but there are a lot of them and they poach off the bird feeders,too.

[GodBlessUSA]

I wish I could keep them from eating suet. Seed is one thing but they can woof down a block of suet in no time. LOL :)
