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

Sounds like a lovely afternoon spent in nature..

Congrats on the taxes too.

[TASMANIANRED]

They look so much better once they feather out.

Naked birds are not cute.

[TASMANIANRED]

Most mammals look better with fur too.

The African Naked Mole is an expample.

Why do seals have fur and whales do not?

[Soaring Feather]

Yes, you are correct, I loved it then as now. ;)

[Soaring Feather]

TAS!! Howdy Mellow Gal. *HUGS*

[Soaring Feather]

My grandmother used to say, “Do a little bit every day.”

Kind of conditions one to building muscles.;)

[NicknamedBob]

Oh, Love!

The question you asked a moment ago?
You wanted the meaning of?
We were speaking of the basic things,
About life and living ... Oh, Love!

Yes, Love makes life worth living,
No matter your circumstance,
How dreary the world is around you,
Yet Love makes you want to dance!

The questing swain or suitor,
May seem like a court’s lost fool,
But love gives him grandeur and dignity,
At least that’s the general rule.

And Love in the basest family,
Ennobles the mom and dad,
To Queen and King of the Castle,
And a Prince of a sturdy lad.

I’m glad you asked me this question,
I’ve been wishing to share the truth of,
That wonderful blessing you’ve brought to me,
And the life-long treasures ... Oh Love.

We've had so much rain the leaves aren't out, but the all the trees are green, green with mossy bark.

Even the animals are turning green!

[MEG33]

I have been lecturing myself on a little bit each day for awhile..It’s holding those trimmers up high and reaching across that got me..so I will trim a little every day that the weather cooperates. It has not been cooperating lately.

[MEG33]

LOL..Now that’s too much rain!

[NicknamedBob]

"Why do seals have fur and whales do not?"

Seals and otters come out of the water from time to time. They can help their insulation by accumulating a layer of air trapped in their fur.

Whales don't exit the water for long enough to do this, so they use only blubber as insulation.

[MEG33]

Thanks, Tas..It was nice to be relatively organized at tax time!*Hugs*

[MEG33]

Sigh..Thank you, Bob.

[TASMANIANRED]

Mellow is my preferred state....Unfortunately my finer qualities are not appreciated at work.

[TASMANIANRED]

Quite nice Bob.

[TASMANIANRED]

Did I give you permission to put a picture of me on here.

[Soaring Feather]

Often times that is the case, however,

you’ll always be Mellow Gal to me.

[TASMANIANRED]

Seals have blubber too.

Challenge Bob....

A poem containing the elements of ‘Hairless whales, furry seals, moss covered sloths and gnu’s’.

[TASMANIANRED]

Hugs returned.

I’m organizationally challenged as well as vertically challenged.

[TASMANIANRED]

Thank you.

I prefer that association to @itch Queen of the Universe.
