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. : )

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

GEEEBEEE!! I keep missing you!

((((hugs)))))

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! How’s your
Coastie doing? Does he still like being out at sea?

[debm29palms]

Thank you so much PMM :)

She’s a little out of it from the pain medication but she’s hanging in there.

I thought it was sweet she didn’t want to run over her little brother too. She definitely took one for the team!

Thank you for your kindness again. Hope you are having a peaceful, sunny Sunday :)

HUGS

My soup was delicious. Ate it twice yesterday so I skipped today. I ordered a small pizza today. Last night I had a small slice of apple pie with ice cream and I was concerned about my sugar so I waited until today to check it and it was down to 80. That is low! So I had the pizza. Your chocolate cake sounds good to me!

On Ally McBeale, you are speaking of the ‘dancing baby’?? Not the stick dancer? Seems I do remember that! Its been a while though! Have fun with your company! I didn’t invite company as I had been to the Red Hat Picnic on Friday. I thought if my kids happened by, I would offer them some, but they didn’t show up over the weekend! BRATS! ~~LOL~~

[jaycee]

What a beautiful rainbow.....I, too, look around me all the time and think how many lovely things the Lord has made for us to see~~~

[jaycee]

This little greeting is very special and pretty!

[jaycee]

Deb, I was sorry to hear about your daughter’s broken arm. And since its the arm and hand she uses, it will be hard. Years ago when oldest son was little, he fell out of a tree and had a very bad break of his arm. I was at work and the lady who kept him called me at work to say it was swelling. It had scared her to death. I rushed home and took him to the ER. and I forget how long he was in a cast. Pretty long. The best I can remember it was his left arm and he is right handed, that was the only good thing.

Hope she gets along well. Getting everyone to autograph it is fun (if the schools allow it these days).

[jaycee]

Beautiful, Kitty Mittens. You sure have beautiful things on your ranch. And you are a great picture-maker!!!!

[jaycee]

Mr. Mayor, I enjoyed the video. Did you know that is one of my very favorite songs? Only yesterday I was talking to a friend, whose mother just died (she was 101 years old) and we were talking about songs and I told her about this one. I also told her I would like to have that for my funeral. Don’t won’t to get gruesome, but that is how much I love the song.

Her mom will be buried tomorrow and I plan to attend in the morning.

Thanks for video link.

[jaycee]

Nice, L.J.!!

[jaycee]

Another beautiful picture with a church and pretty setting!!

[jaycee]

Very nice....thank you!!

[debm29palms]

Thank you very much jaycee :)

Right now she has a kind of splinter/hard cast combo with a stretchy bandage to account for all the swelling. We go Friday to the orthodepic surgeon for a regular cast. He said 6-8 weeks, if I am remembering correctly.

Take care and HUGS

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could squeegee the sky pure blue whenever you wanted!

[jaycee]

Giving thanks for the sun~~~

[jaycee]

Yes, and especially on those dreary, rainy days ahead in winter! Would take a huge squeegee on those rainy days~~LOL

[The Mayor]

I agree with you all all points, it is how I feel and I can only imagine. The questions have been in my mind for a long time and to see the video and the dedication of the father to his son is what I imagine God’s dedication is toward us.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

---

Dear God, who suffered
torment, agony and death upon the Cross
to free our souls from the chains of iniquity;
protect and defend our troops. Guide them in the
performance of their duties. Strengthen them to endure
hardship, danger and deprivation in Your service.
Let their efforts free the people of Iraq from the
chains of terror and slavery, foster a lasting peace in the region,
and bring all to a greater share in Your mercy. Amen.
