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

Meg and Lori, I believe my bluebirds are gone. I am so troubled over it. Saw no activity all day yesterday until late in the evening....no birds. I pray I will see them today but don’t think so. I am very familiar with their activity. I had a feeling when I saw that hole look so different, that something was wrong. Their nest was finished a long time ago and they had 5 little eggs about 10 days ago.

Oh, jaycee, I am so sorry! I am also sorry I am so late in replying to this.

I know how responsible you feel for the little wild things when they are living near you. I feel the same way, but then I have to remember that there is little we can do when nature takes it's course and preditors are a reality that we can't control. It is very sad though. Those little bluebirds were innocents. :-(

Thank you, Lori...I didn’t even want to talk about it much that first or second day....I thought they might come back (just a little wishful thought). Late Sat. evening I saw a bird fly out of there with its mouth full of stuff...couldn’t tell what kind of bird it was. The next morning I stood at the door and watched through the blinds and by golly, it was a house wren. Carrying out and carrying in! If anyone can ever explain that to me, I will offer a reward~~LOL~~

I wondered if the cat may have gotten mama or papa and the other one abandoned the nest and the house wrens moved in quickly! I love house wrens but they are so plentiful around here and bluebirds aren’t! I was in Lowe’s tonight to get Roundup and birdseed and I was looking at new bluebird houses. I may get another house for the bluebirds even if they don’t come until next season. They usually raised two families a season! I will never know what happened and its not for me to know! Mother Nature takes her course I guess....just wish she wouldn’t have nosed in on the bluebirds......I’m kidding of course!
