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.

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

Evening, Majjie - your turn to drive the ping car. :)

[Billie]

Good evening, Amy. Hope you had a nice picnic and playday today. :)

[Billie]

I haven’t ever bought Vanilla Cokes, but do like to add both Vanilla AND Cherry syrup to it. :)

[Billie]

Oops, if you park your Jag next to my Rolls, I might get in the wrong car after dinner.

[Billie]

& oh yeah! Cool that the car and the dress are both shiney;candy aple red w/black accents!!!

Well, of course - attention to detail, dontcha know. If I'd worn solid red, I would have driven one of my other red cars. :)

[Billie]

Ahhh, I absolutely HAVE to have my pots of red geraniums at the front door every summer! They are so pretty and colorful - and hardy! I can hardly kill them. :)

[Billie]

May I drive your red car next Friday....LOL! Yes, definitely, you can! :)

[Billie]

I love the picture you just painted about your flag, hummingbirds, robins and yellow finches!

[Lady Jag]

Your Rolls is beautiful! We should park them together!

[Billie]

Your Rolls is beautiful! We should park them together!

You're right - and it's not as though they would be the only ones like them at the club.

Thanks Billie. I get a lot of enjoyment out of those little wonderful things. Thats why spring is such a happy time. When it gets as hot as its been here lately, I can’t sit out on my patio much and just watch all the critters. You may be interested in knowing that I also keep unsalted peanuts in the shell for my squirrels. They almost eat out of my hands except I get a bit afraid. They constantly drink from my birdbath and I am glad they can get water. Didn’t mean for this to be so long, but I have to tell you my bluebird house has a mama and daddy in it and we will be having bluebird babies before long. Isn’t that exciting?

[Majie Purple]
