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. : )

"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 am wearing red today and every Friday ~ Billie

Thank you....*coff-coff*

That is such a pretty graphic! May I “borrow” it for
future use? :D

[luvie]

It’s beautiful!

Gotta go eat, and then maybe bed. I need to clean, but just
don’t feel like doing much.

[GodBlessUSA]

Enjoy lunch and then take a nap. I’m sure the place is clean. I think I’m going to take a quick nap now.

See ya later :)

[luvie]

It’s not as clean as it should be!

Happy napping. Talk later. (((hugs)))

[GodBlessUSA]

Thanks! :)

[MEG33]

It’s my favorite..Of course.

[luvie]

Thanks.

I am going to bed now, having taken a Nyquil tablet.

See ya later this evening.

[MEG33]

Rest well, LUV.

Hi all!

Stopping by to show support for our fantastic TROOPS!on wear red friday.

Wishing all a great weekend.

[La Enchiladita]

WOW on the pledge, GeeBee, it's awesome....is it Friday already? The week seems to have gone by fast. It is hot in the sun here, but then a chill wind blows through... strange combo, but typical Spring weather. Everything is starting to bloom and/or bud out, for example wisteria and a native plant called ceanothus. It has deep blue violet flowers.... just do an image search on that name, you will see...:):) What a time of year to not be able to post images or right-click, lol!!!

I've been a whirl of projects this week, painting a ceramic angel and even dusting and cleaning furniture. Got my tax returns done too. So, how is your family, including your doggie who I know is a sweetie. When I get acquainted with dogs of friends, I am fine with them but practice caution with strange dogs. A neighbor has an all-white lab who is a darling:):)

(((HUGS)))

[La Enchiladita]

Hello, stopem!! Long time, no see. Indeed, we love our troops.
I was walking by the neighborhood dry cleaners a few days ago, and saw this car with camo uniforms stacked on the roof. The troop, who I think was a Marine, was getting more stuff outa the trunk. I simply said, “thank you for serving” and he said back, “that is much appreciated, Ma’am” in that squared-away Marine-speak. Great moment!!

[La Enchiladita]

Divine and exquisite, (((MEG.)))
I hope you are well and Trubble is ever-better.

[La Enchiladita]

Dear LUV, you should rest and get this bug out of your system. Springtime can be challenging with the thingies stirred up in the air. I feel a tad of allergies or something today. See you later when you feel better. (((Hugs))).

[MEG33]

Thank you(((Dita)))! He is getting better..a slow go..

Hope you are well,too..I am doing a bit of house cleanup..I seem to have tracked the indoors in on my carpet....again.
;o)

[La Enchiladita]

You might consider a different shade of carpet... to match the trackings!!! LOL.

Mine is hopeless, I seem to be very hard on carpet even though I try not. For example, always shoeless in the house. But food, beverages, candle wax, whatnot have a way of escaping.

[MEG33]

Drips of this and that, leaves and red berries from the youpoon..,even though I remove my shoes at the door to the patio, are challenging me today...

[GodBlessUSA]

DITA! :)
We miss you!
You sound like you have been very busy this week. It's still chilly here. But should warm up a little bit. Tomorrow should be a nice day. I'm still puppy sitting. Boy does she keep me busy, such energy. Audy is doing great. :)

Another week flew by. They do go so quickly. It must be great to see flowers again. I looked up, ceanothus :) They are gorgeous.

[La Enchiladita]

I guess they don’t have Ritalin for puppies...? LOL. If she doesn’t have a nickname yet, “The Yipster” sounds perfect... heehee.

The color is the thing with ceanothus. The luminous deep blue purple against the very deep green of the leaves is stunning. Wow, you found a pic!!:) That must be an ultra close-up. Anyway, it smells good and the bees love it... they are gaily swarming the bushes.

The clock is ticking down here at the liberry, so until we meet again.... God bless you.

[MEG33]

Pretty!

[MEG33]

Thank you, stopem..Have a good one.
