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, 2006 - the author is unknown.
I am wearing red today and every Friday ~ Billie

That is just BEAUTIFUL!!

We don't have cardinals out here. I have only seen one in my entire life and that was when we were back in Williamsburg, Virginia a couple years ago. They are such pretty birds. I don't understand why they don't live out here. We don't have lightening bugs either. :-(

[jaycee]

Very clever Mama B. LOL!

[Mama_Bear]

Of course, you know that, you've lived out here.

[jaycee]

Great pic!!

[JustAmy]

LOL

I can't believe this freezing weather has lasted for this many days.

Brrrrrrr

[Mama_Bear]

Hi, jaycee.

Hey, did you hear that Ms. Pelosi has formed a "committee" and she pledges that they will stop global warming in ten years? I heard it on the radio this morning.

Can you believe her incredible arrogance? Of course, it doesn't matter that she isn't able to actually DO it, all that matters is that she wants to. This committee makes for a nice little party favor to her environmentalist base.

Actually, we could use a little global warming in our neighborhood. ;-)

[MEG33]

I had birds in California that I never see here..Orioles for instance.

I just lucked on this photo and love it!
I have cardinals raise their young nearby so I see cardinals several times a day usually.

[Mama_Bear]

Isn't it miserable? I have had to break up the ice in our fountain every morning this week. The poor little birds are just having a terrible time finding water. :-(

[MEG33]

It is supposed to freeze again soon after I get home..I am hoping to lure the birds back with water..then they'll find the food.

[Lady Jag]

It was so cold today that Al Gore was giving a speech on global warming and he got pelted with snowballs.

[Mama_Bear]

LOL!!

[Lady Jag]

It was so cold, Barry Bonds tested positive for soup.

[Mama_Bear]

I have heard that in the winter it is often more important to provide water for birds than food. Living in California, we normally don't have to worry about that.

[Mama_Bear]

Ba-dump-bump!!!

You're on a roll, Lady J.

[jaycee]

Give me a break......Pelosi gives me heartburn every time I see those scary eyes and its worse when she opens her mouth. A real witch with a B.!

Thank you dear __((Luv W))__:}}}

[“Carefully I am observing unfolding events in today’s world. Carefully I see distractions as well disobedience of politicians in your great nation as well in mine.


I see painful reminder of time of past of time. Evil is growing and many are liers. Realization is not for them too know truth!

Glass and sand come together; From sand glass is made. How will their houses be when attack comes?

Warning I have spoken of; who will hear?

I can connect dots and make a photograph for that is what is; Evil is growing; it will be destroyed!

Greatest philosophers in this world don’t know simplicity of human heart. It is simple.

Road is road, et is yours. Pride is a killer for it comes from below. Humility is true gold.

There is distance of time of time; distance of reality and virtue of life. Sadness is, many don’t know path of life. Gold and silver think of it.”]

Thank you all.
Serdeczne pozdrowienia.

Indeed..I missed being at home during the big ice storm...I admit I fretted over leaving the birds so long..but I know there are other bird feeders and water suppliers in my neighborhood.Here during the summer water is needed,too..at least it is what lured them back first in June when I had been gone frome home so long.

They give me so much joy that I do feel "responsible"!

[Mama_Bear]

I know. I have had to turn off the tv news. I just can't stand to watch or listen to her. Unfortunately, I walked past the bedroom radio this morning and Rush was playing a clip of her "promise to end global warming in ten years". She is just amazing, isn't she?

[jaycee]

I really loved "I believe". Read it twice......makes one think,doesn't it?

[Mama_Bear]

I know what you mean about feeling responsible. I would actually rather the birds didn't nest on my property because I feel responsible for making sure that predators don't get to the nests. I have had house finches nest on my patio and had to try to fight off the scrub jays from raiding the nest. I wasn't able to watch the nest day and night and the jays got to the babies. I was just sick over it. I know it is just nature taking it's course, but still, I don't want to be a witness to it. :-(
