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

I have been with the Billie and the Finest since the beginning and I have to say that, all the way through the Finest years, Billie was truly my mentor. Not only in making graphics but in creating tables and coding html. Billie taught me so much! Because of Billie and my trial and error experimenting in photoshop, the quality of my graphics evolved over the years.....and it has all been such fun!
The truth is, in technique and expertise, I always had to play catch-up with Billie. She set the bar high, for sure. :-) Well, honestly, I think it's safe to say we've both come a long way from when we started this 6 years ago. :) Egads! I look at some of my 'stuff' then and cringe a little. But it's fun to keep learning, and it also helps to have a really good photo editing software program. I remember early on I used to ask wolfie to do my vignettes for me. :)

Yes, Dita, you are correct! Guess we just appreciated this place so much that it has startled most of us. We will all be somewhere together anyway! I sure hope so anyway! Very cute graphic, Dita~~~

That was about two years ago. I have to wonder how many other people aren't paying because they don't know how much they owe. Paul definitely is not a businessman.The last time I paid was through December 2007, but they never updated the posted payment - it STILL shows "Your account is paid through December 2, 2006". I know it was due again in December 07, but they used to send reminders and we could pay by credit card, NOT just PayPal or check. I don't use PayPal and since I'm not sure what I owe, I'm not going to mail a check to them.
