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.

LOL. Sort of like your pig the other day. What were you thinkin'? ;-)

Good moring to you, louiebear!

A beautiful Sunday morning to the Finest. I posted this on LadyX' prayer thread, but think it is fitting for a Sunday at the Finest, as well. Have a glorious day.

May Your Sunday Be Filled With Blessings

[MEG33]

Indeed.. and your graphic is gorgeous,too!

[Mama_Bear]

It IS beautiful! I've never seen an albino peacock before. I have often thought how lovely it would be to have an estate with several peacocks roaming the grounds. :-)

[Billie]

Thank you, Meg-with-the-beautiful-flowers 'n tables! :)

[Billie]

Wouldn't that be an amazing sight! The regular peacocks are some of the most beautiful things ever when they spread their tail feathers, but gosh, this white one looks like a Peacock Angel or something. :) Unreal!

[stopem]

Thank you Meg, Purple was once my favorite color, a neighbor said I was purple crazy, can't help it sometimes at different times in our lives we seem to lean toward different colors.

Billie,I remember reading in another thread someone said that Peacock reminded them of snowflakes.

[Billie]

I must compliment you on such wonderful finds - you are posting some of the prettiest graphics every day! Always a treat to see your posts, Majjie. Thank you for the gif(t)s!

[Billie]

Billie,I remember reading in another thread someone said that Peacock reminded them of snowflakes.

It does a little, doesn't it? It's so lacy and delicate-looking. :)

[Mama_Bear]

Your albino peacock reminded me of an interesting photo I found on the internet yesterday. I thought it was pretty. I like the dynamic composition and the overall white and blue effect - obviously photoshopped, but striking.

Out in the Fields with God
by Anonymous

The little cares that fretted me
I lost them yesterday
Among the fields, above the sea,
Among the winds at play,
Among the lowing of the herds,
The rustling of the trees,
Among the singing of the birds,
The humming of the bees.

The foolish fears of what might happen,
I cast them all away,
Among the clover-scented grass,
Among the new-mown hay,
Among the husking of the corn,
Where drowsy poppies nod,
Where ill thoughts die and good are born--
Out in the fields with God.

[MEG33]

I love it, LadyJ..Thank you.
