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.

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

Hi Amy..

all..I posted 4 threads this weekend! whew! The last one this morning & is on the DC party last Sat. IT IS GRAPHIC INTENSE... you will prolly NOT like being there unless you have DSL or Cable .

Okay, I have a ton of work to do. Posting all those threads, going to 2 parties and just doing "stuff" has really put me behind in everything! Will check in tonight (going to see movie Babel tonight)

[Billie]

Oh yes, I remember that collage, Dolly. I thought you were talking about doing a more recent one - you did a great job gathering Finest' pics and putting them together the way you did!

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, yes, I remember when you posted this. What a great looking bunch of FReepers!

Yep, that is the same photo of me. It is one that was taken a couple years ago on JK's family reunion cruise to Mexico. Through the magic of photoshop, MamaBear looks halfway presentable. LOL.

Nice job on the collage. That must have taken some time to put together.

[DollyCali]

I have it in png format as well as jpg. should prolly get the original to one of you to carry on if I "disappear"

ha!

[Lady Jag]

Happy day!

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks for the replies re: silly MamaBear in her silly Santa hat. :-)

Wishing you all a great Saturday. About ready for Christmas? I still have to get my Christmas cards addressed and in the mail (they WILL be done today, if it's the last thing I do!). Then some more baking and I'll be about ready.

Hugs all around!

Thank you, Billie, for this beautiful ornament.
It's too pretty not to bring out every year. :-)

[The Mayor]

Excellent pic Dolly.
I know a few of them in there.

[Mama_Bear]

Happy Saturday to you, Lady J!

[Mama_Bear]

"Disappear"??? What on earth are you talking about? You can't disappear. LOL.

[JustAmy]

That is sooo pretty. I had forgotten about the ornaments from last year. I finally found mine. :)



Thank you, Billie!

[Billie]

Welcome, Sistahs - so here's mine. :)

[Mama_Bear]

Hi Amy. I am going to get back to work on our project later today, I promise. :-)

[JustAmy]

I've found a couple of graphic that I'll send in a few minutes.

[Diver Dave]

Mornin' y'all.

[Mama_Bear]

I need to take off for awhile and get some things done around here, but wanted to post this photo of our Chachi (who, BTW, recently earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate) helping to decorated our Christmas tree. Poor little guy is vertically challenged, so he needs a step stool. ;-)

Talk to y'all later.

[Mama_Bear]

Got 'em. Thanks, Amy. I'll be back as soon as I can. :-)

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank you, Dearest Carbine! (And I Love your Tag Line!)

[JustAmy]

Merry Christmas to you and yours, DD.

Have a wonderful weekend.

[JustAmy]

How cute he is. Looks like he is really enjoying helping with the decorations.

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank you for your Beautiful Graphics and Tables that Brighten my World, Dear (((((Meg)))))!
