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

What marvelous contributions you make to The Finest threads!
Sorry I've been absent the past few days, needing to prepare for yesterday's visit from my granddaughter and her fiance, who we had not met.
She left this morning for Memphis for two weeks of training for her new position as a field chemist, and will be moving there in May. How gratifying it is to see her launched on her adult life, her hard work in college making that possible!
It was a stellar week, also Monday being with our son, Steve (Monday, on his birthday), and his wife Sandy (up here on vacation) and her lovely mother.
Another reason was I was ill, with fever (101 degrees) for the first time in 8 years!
I have not had any of the viruses, stomach bugs, bronchitis, etc. that befall others - or even a cold in all this time.
It was a struggle to do what was necessary Thursday and Friday, pausing every few minutes to rest. Had no other symptoms other than extreme weakness, and the fever *finally* broke at 3 this morning...
It has been a blessed week - a blessed Sunday - and I'm glad to be back among The Finest Family.

Thank you, Meg.
Afraid I will be scarce again today, updating the daily logs to turn in to the Clinic for my appointment tomorrow morning, and scarce all week.
Thursday will go back to Aiken for a Patient Care Meeting with my physician - Friday to Augusta to the VA for a 6-month appointment.
On The Road Again Week..:))

Thank you, snugs.
I thought of you Monday going to Columbia to see my son and his wife at her mother's house.
They years ago resued a racing greyhound who was to be destroyed...Waldo finally died a few years ago after a pampered and spoiled life.
Two years ago they found another one to rescue - a female whose grandfather had been a champion, and she was not so fortunate.
Her name is Jenny Lynn, and she looks just like the one you had!
She is extremely gentle and sweet, and with Sandy's Mom having a very large completely fenced in back yard full of trees and shrubs and flower beds, she entertained us galloping in huge figure eights around it.
