A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....10-13,14,15-06....T.G.I.F. at the Finest

Posted on 10/13/2006 7:21:38 AM PDT by Billie



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

Mr Just and JustJr went to a football game this afternoon so PrissyMissy and I baked some cookies.

I think I should hide a few for our men before we eat all of them. :)

Another Honey Bee poem by NicknamedBob


Glory Bee

Out in the garden one sunny day,
A golden honeybee came buzzing my way.
She came straight to me, as if I,
Had nectar she might like to try.

I stared, entranced, as on she came,
And wondered idly what was her game.
And then she stung me! Holy Cow!
How come it wasn't hurting now?

Instead of pain, a glory spread,
Until I felt it in my head.
Her sting was not a strange attack,
But giving something that I lack.

Somehow she sensed a hole I had,
In spirit, and she made me glad.
It was an angel, Heaven sent,
To help me make my life content.

She's there in Heaven, with her wings,
And all those other angel things,
I'm sure a harp she couldn't do,
I guess she hums on her kazoo!

Yes first and earliest snow fall in Buffalo.
Some areas got 22 inches, still 300,000 without electricity.
We broke all records with this storm.

I have driven around and most areas are like a tornado went thru.

Power wires down all over the place. I spent 4 hours helping a friend clear his road so the power co. and fire/emergency vehicles could get down. That was in N. Buffalo.

I missed not posting coffee and no one around me had any power so I couldn't get online anywhere.

All the snow is gone now but winter is just around the corner and more will come.

Oh, I remembered I have a couple of other "bees" - maybe not honeybees - bumble bees?! :)



Well....maybe dinner time now. :)

Yes it was a beauty of a storm.
I have another battle scar, I was hit with a tree limb just to the side of my left eye. Good gash looks like I just came out of a boxing ring.

A friend was pulling on a branch and let it go so I was hit with it blindsided, I had no idea it was coming. If I went to the hospital it would have been stitched with 10 or 12 stitches.

Being the old Army trooper and fixer of my own wounds I am doing fine.. Stopped the bleeding within 5 minutes and applied a huge bandaid with cream. Looks good but it's swollen and I'll havea black eye...

I think you did a great job dying it red - I thought the graphic looked familiar! (originally a blue bathrobe, right? This is what I had done with it some time ago) :)

Oh my gosh, Rus! I bet your friend was just sick about it, too. :(

I hope the gash heals okay - we don't want to be calling you scarface. :)
