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.
received this in my email June 10th, the author is unknown. I am wearing red today and every Friday ~ Billie

***WEATHER & GOLF UPDATE**
Hmmmm..an Augusta TV Channel is just announcing they expect to resume Masters golf play a little after 2 p.m.! (CBS at 2:30 perhaps??)
At the same time, the trailer on the bottom of the screen is issuing a Tornado Watch for several counties around there - and HERE IN SC, including my county - until 9 p.m.....
Go figure...we've been getting intermittent showers, badly needed - nothing dire yet...

Hi all.. following the Masters again with avid interest, as I do each year. Difficult tournament for Tiger with his dear father dying..He has always been with him & supported him.
COLD one here in Ohio.. but the sun finally came out..
Been a very non-productive day here.. in almost every respect.
Only thing I have been busy doing is feeling guilty about what I haven't done!

Duck your head if one comes your way!
The only good thing about hurricanes is that when the tornadoes that accompany them hit, if you're smart, you're gone!
The dogwoods and azeleas we have left were beautiful this year but are gone and now the dirty work statrts to make them pretty again next year.

I'm glad you had something left in the yard to brighten up the storm damage for awhile.
My son amd DIL were in the Wichita Falls tornado in 79..It was devastating. We finally located them..after frantic searches. We found their roofless apartment and the sliding door on their bed..shudder..long before we found them. Others were not so fortunate..
Suddenly there are no cardboard boxes to pack in because so many are trying to get what's left out of damaged houses and apartments before the rain hit. His coworker brought some from another town the next day and everyone packed frantically. Some of the countryside looked like a moonscape and some neighborhoods were striped bare to the foundations. When daylight came and we saw the damage we were so grateful for our children's survival.

I turned on the TV to the Masters tournament about an hour or so ago. They were showing an interview with Tiger. They have been playing in the rain, but the banner on the screen says play will resume at 5:15 ET, while they now show some tape of earlier play.
Anyway, it does give me an idea of how lovely the Augusta area is ... Talk to ya later ...
