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 200,000 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. : )

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.

Mornin' Billie.

Gonna be another hot one in the ol' town today/tonight. If I spend too much time outside without sunscreen, I'll be wearing red for days to come.

Have a great weekend. Happy Father's Day to all the Dads.

Off to do my chores.

Thank you, Billie.

Found this..and also a suggestion to mix flower petals minced with butter..There are many edible flowers.

Nasturtium

Nasturtiums are an attractive and nutritious addition to salads, and they make a beautiful garnish. Nasturtiums have 10 times the vitamin C of lettuce, so add a gererous portion of leaves and flowers to your salad mixes. Grind the seeds in a pepper mill, and use as you would black pepper.

[Lady Jag]

We actually got some suprise sun today, so I’m avoiding naps if at all possible.

[MEG33]

I love the sun! After cloudy days I would not want to miss a minute of it either.

[MEG33]

Thank you, Lady J

Love the poppies!

HAPPY FRIDAY TO THE FINEST!

Great thread and Pledge, Billie!

[Mama_Bear]

Okay, I give up. What did the Buddhist say to the hot dog vendor?

[Lady Jag]

“Make me one with everything.”

[Mama_Bear]

“Make me one with everything.”

LOL!!! That's a good one. Thanks for the laughs. You brighten my day.

[MEG33]

I'm wearing red, Conor!

Have you finished with all your painting yet? :)

I have finished with the half bath and utility room, next I will be tackling the guest room. But, I'm really not sure what color I want to paint it. I am taking my time picking out the colors. I am not 100% happy with the color of the utility room. I let my mom talk me into a cool pale yellow that looks okay with the lights on, but I don't like it at all with the lights off. I would have preferred a warmer, softer yellow. But, it's just the utility room, so it really doesn't matter. It does look fresh and clean and cheerful, and I love that freshly painted look.

How are you coming with your dining room?

[GodBlessUSA]

ROTFLOL! That hair do is, ah, something else ;) You look Marvelous darling ;)

[GodBlessUSA]

Hi Mama_Bear
I’ll send you a list of rose places. Also, I remember the place you ordered from was Hortico, something like that? If it didn’t leaf out, they may give you a credit or even send a new one.

[GodBlessUSA]

I'm off to mow the lawn and weed whack Ugh. ;) I wanted to wish you all a wonderful weekend!!

[MEG33]

Happy lawn care day,((( GeeBee)))

[ConorMacNessa]

Hi MEG - we’re getting ready to pile into the van for a weekend trip.

For those who may not have seen this on Fox News recently, or for those who want to hear it again, turn your volume up and click the link. It is from the British version of "Idol". What an incredible talent!
