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

Kewl car Dubya....
This was my 65 Mustang, 350 HP, 4sp, I was clocked at 160 MPH on I-10 between Phoenix and Tucson. Fastest I ever drove and will never do it again.
The old song by Sammy Hagar, I can't drive 55 was perfect for this car, I had to cruise around Tucson in 3rd gear.

We will all congregate at Amys place and I will rebuild my ping list.:( But I don't see why you would need to rebuild your ping list for the Daily Bread? :(
You have mail again. :)

I thought you told us once that you are a lady. Am I still correct, or just confused....LOL?
To: DollyCali
AWKKK! Please don't say that! Not goodbye, not permanent. :(
Besides, you still owe us some state profiles. :)

I didn't want you to cry.
Good thing Amy's Place has lots of room - may need to shuffle some of that furniture to get us all in though. :)

Like so many others, dita, your post touched my heart and makes me smile. Thank you for the sweet compliment, I’m glad that I could share some of the knowledge that others at FR helped me with when I was first learning the foreign language of “HTML”.

The Pumpkin Seed
It seems like such a tiny place, how could we all fit in?
Who knows? Lets all just climb aboard, and take it for a spin.
This isnt just a cottage. Its a magic place indeed.
Who would have thought that pumpkin could have been inside a seed?
When you enter Amys Place, its bigger in than out,
So step inside but dont forget to give your friends a shout.
The more we have attending here, the bigger it will get,
So just keep right on piling in, you aint seen nothin yet!

We always have room but I will also look forward to new threads at the Finest.
Amy’s and the Finest are the same but different somehow.
