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.

Oh, snugs!! You look so cute...and so British! Are you still at work or do you get off early on Friday?

How is your sweet Dad doing? Hope his health is improving.

[EsmeraldaA]

Good morning FRFinest.

[snugs]

We only work 5 hours on Friday we get in early Monday - Thursday so we can leave about 1.00pm on Friday.

So I am at home listening to music on the PC and freeping whilst watch on TV the suspected terrorist shooting in London. Multi tasking.

[snugs]

You have stolen my dress LOL

[luvie]

Hey! She's red, white, AND blue! Hi, again! LOL! Ya look cute!

[EsmeraldaA]

Ohhh no!!!

[luvie]

Yark! Looks like I need to turn on the news! I hadn't even heard about a terrorist shooting. God help London. Was anyone hurt or killed. Must get to Fox News now!

Glad you get a half day off on Friday. It's nice to tie it to the weekend.

[EsmeraldaA]

Okay...how about this instead?



It has a little Red, right? LOL!

[EsmeraldaA]

Apparently that dress in particular is too popular......hehehe

[JustAmy]

Please join me in prayers for LadyX.
She has been in my thoughts and prayers this week.

Father, we come to you today to ask you to hold Maggie in your healing embrace.
We ask that you comfort her family as you give them strength for this latest setback.

We ask that You Bless and Protect our military today and everyday.
We ask this in Jesus Name.
Amen

[luvie]

It looks adorable on both of you. I don't have that one, but my "twin" Trussell and I have the same "little black dress" that we have worn at the same time. It's fun seeing what we come up with together. I doubt if anyone else will have a LUV t-shirt though! LOL!

[snugs]

Just the suspected terrorist who was shot by the Police but injuries are not life threatening. Another man was arrested. Apparently Tony Blair who is holidaying in Italy was advised before the raid which was based on intelligence. Obviously the Police (Anti terrorist branch) cannot say much more due to on going investigation though of course press is speculating.

Apparently rumours is that the man shot was a postman for 2 years, before that worked for Tesco (supermarket) and prior to that was a pizza delivery boy - how true not sure. He is 23 and it is said was living with parents with 2 brothers and 2 sisters father not working and he was supporting the family.

Apparently he prays 5 times a day - so obviously is a Muslim.

[snugs]

Here is a link to the incident in London

[luvie]

Obviously! I hope they find some evidence in that house to connect him with a larger group. That will be good for intelligence there...and here!

The press is good at speculation...but not much more! LOL!

How is your weather over there? It is 83F at my house right now...and it's only 11am. It's gonna be hot. It only got up to 84 all day yesterday, though. It was very pleasant. We need rain, though. Haven't had any for months.

[luvie]

Thanks, Snugs! If they found bomb-making stuff in his house, then he wasn't exactly trying to turn his life around, was he?

[snugs]

Cold about 60 I would think. When summer is going to start I do not know.

We had a few hot days in April/early May but it is pretty miserable for June.

[snugs]

Exactly

[luvie]

60!!! Brrrrr...but it kind of sounds good, too. I sleep much better when I can cuddle up under covers.

I hope you get some summer! It's going to be a long one if it stays that cool. The tourists will complain for sure! LOL!

[MEG33]

Amen,Amy..I seem to have a prayer for Maggie in my heart or on my mind, in my thoughts no matter what else I am doing lately..

[JustAmy]

The Hooligan's support the troops.
