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

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 received this in my email June 10th, 2006 - the author is unknown.
I am wearing red today and every Friday ~ Billie

I hope you enjoy your day with your nice weather. I’m hoping to get a burst of energy and do a chore or accomplish something today. Will have a Monopoly game with my daughter later.

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank you, Dear (((((GeeBee)))))!
Have a Blessed Day!

When I lived in Tucson there were alot of flash floods in washes. Many people got stuck, washed away and some times they drowned.

I could never understand their stupidity in some cases. When it rains there washes get flooded very quickly. Water is always deeper than it looks, why take a chance.

I don’t know when we will see the sun again.

[GodBlessUSA]

How very lovely!!
Thank you! :)

[The Mayor]

Thank you Miss Kitty.
You too!

I just Remembered that TPartyType's Birthday was Saturday!

Hope is the thing with feathers

Hope is the thing with feathers                         That perches in the soul,                         And sings the tune without the words,                         And never stops at all,                         And sweetest in the gale is heard;                         And sore must be the storm                         That could abash the little bird                         That kept so many warm.                         I've heard it in the chillest land,                         And on the strangest sea;                         Yet, never, in extremity,                         It asked a crumb of me.                         Emily Dickinson

Love it! Good afternoon. LadyJ..I am procrastinating on doing yard work!

[Soaring Feather]

LOL love the bird, a favourite poem too. Thanks.

[TASMANIANRED]

Newly hatched chicks are unlovely things to any other eyes but Mom’s.

[MEG33]

This was a glorious day...and I did go out and trim and rake. I need my summer muscles back..Holding those electric hedge clippers up high could not last as long as necessary..The front walkway does look better.

Tomorrow is another day!

[TASMANIANRED]

Afternoon Meg.

It’s a day of rest. Let the yard work wait.

[TASMANIANRED]

Afternoon, Feather.

Day started out blue but the clouds are rolling in.

[MEG33]

I’ve been resting too long on yard work, Tas..cleaning out my files and “making an office” took longer than planned...

Good news..My taxes were all ready to send off to my son early this week..Bad news..The paper chase never ends..LOL

I took the opportunity to be outside on this rare afternon..and the birds were singing.

Y’all stay safe up there.

[Lady Jag]

It’s raining and everyone’s napping, so I have to be quiet. Been picking up the office, which has suffered various urgencies in the past few days.

[MEG33]

I think everyone’s office has been suffering at least one urgency..The taxman .I love to nap when its raining.

[Lady Jag]

They're so ugly they're cute.

But they do get better.

[La Enchiladita]

Is that your pond, Kitty Mittens?

[Lady Jag]

I think I posted that in the Dragonflies’ Lair some time ago.

[TASMANIANRED]

I’m glad the weather has cooperated with your plans..

We’ve been in a stretch of rain 4 and sunny 1...
