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

Nice sunny day here...

[La Enchiladita]

Awww... that kitty sweet. Sounds like you have a touch of St. Francis in you, with all the wildlife that flocks to you.

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank you, Dear 'Dita, and that's a Cute Graphic! A Few Minutes Ago, One of these Delightful Birds was Outside Running through the Pasture. I Love their Funny Long Legs!

[La Enchiladita]

That looks like a shore bird! Are you near a beach?

[La Enchiladita]

Now that I look at this, Billie, I recall that traditionally the 4th of July parade in Pacific Palisades is opened this way, with sky-divers descending onto Sunset Blvd. It's a lot of fun.

[Kitty Mittens]

No, but I'm Near a Small Pond. (And Kildeer's Do Love to Hang Around Near the Water!)

Thank You for Thy Blessings, O Lord!

[jaycee]

What a pretty bird-a bathin', LadyJ!

[MEG33]

Love your graphic! Hurry up, spring!

[MEG33]

Oh, Kitty I love it that you are at the ranch and viewing God's creatures.

.I think you have solved a puzzle with your kildeer picture..One summer night I drove up to the nearest convenience store and under the lights on the grass was what looked like a shore bird with those long funny legs busy taking advantage of all the bugs drawn to the big lights..There is a lake inlet about a mile from those lights but still I was surprised and wondered what it was.

Love to watch them..My store visit ended up being much longer than planned.LOL

[Aquamarine]

Thanks for the lovely post Lady Jag.

[Aquamarine]

It saw sunny but not so nice here today, very cold, didn't get out of the 30's.

[Aquamarine]

It was sunny --- lol

[Aquamarine]

Saw the pictures of your beautiful granddaughter on another thread Dolly. She has gorgeous red hair, looks like she's growing into a fine young lady.

[DollyCali]

Thanks.. she is a pretty good gal also.. smart (all AG classes); into God/church; but has leanings goals of cheerleading etc.. Looks to be 12 going on 20.

[DollyCali]

what a sweet February graphic.. Our birds are really hungry..take out a lot of bread, popcorn, bird seed each day

extra cold means they need more (and the air temp here is below zero & wind chill about 15 below)
