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

FReeper armymarinemom's shirt tells Congress and the whining lefty elites what grownups know.

Glad you had a nice trip Billie & Dave. Vacations are such a nice break & we appreciate them more & more as we get older.

Cali has not eaten for about 5 days.. I am afraid this is about "it" for my precious felilne companion of 19 years. .

Hope all have a splendid weekend & time with people who are special to you

God bless you and your kitty. My heart aches hearing you and Cali have to part after 19 long years.

[luvie]

Oh, Dolly...I am so sorry to hear about Cali. I know this is breaking your heart. It is so hard to say goodbye to beloved animal companions.

((((Thanks so much Caring Kitty for the sweet comment & pings & Luvee, for the ping!!))))

[Majie Purple]

Wow! 19 years is a long time for a cat to live!

[jaycee]

Dolly, I am so sorry to hear about your precious cat. I was just talking to Barry last night and telling him about Cali sitting on that pile of mulch. I told him she was 20 years old and he said “Mom, Cali is the name of Erin’s (his girlfriend) cat! I hadn’t thought about it until he mentioned it.

I have bitten my nails today LOL.....kept the computer off to get some work done. It was getting badddd! I still have a lot to do and may have to stay away some to get caught up. Makes me feel better to get my house cleaned some. I need to do some more windows and blinds, but don’t know when! Keep me informed about Cali.....know how sad it is!

[MEG33]

It’s just so hard to lose a beloved pet..I am so sorry Cali is nearing her end..(((HUGS))).
