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

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

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.

Oh wow, that's so nice, Lori. It's so you - and it goes with the music.

Good job, Louie.

[Allegra]

Somehow I never think of Baghdad as chllly and rainy. Dusty and unbearably hot is how I always imagine it.

Oh, you're imagining it right. That description fits the norm. ;-)

We're just having our brief little winter now. Actually, today is very nice. Sunny, clear and mild. The storm sytem has moved on.

[Mama_Bear]

I haven't yet had a chance to welcome you to the Finest, Purple Mountains Maj. We are so glad you have joined us. I see that Billie has provided you with the beginnings of a beautiful red wardrobe. I love that last gown you posted with the gold on it. Very classy!

We are enjoying your participation, hope to see you here often. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

It's so you

LOL. Really? Well, it's nice that the body comes with the dress....and I do love Latin music. I have always wanted to take dancing lessons, but never got around to it. My husband would have gone along with me if I had signed us up. I should have.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Well, it's nice that the body comes with the dress

That sounds funny - it's a nice doll. And dancing is really easy... can you still sign up? It's a lot of fun as well, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Good exercise too.

[Mama_Bear]

can you still sign up?

Sure, we could. But I wish we had done it years ago when I had more energy. I could use the exercise though...for sure. LOL. Maybe I will check into it.

Everytime we go on a cruise there is always one show-off couple on the dance floor who can dance beautifully to ANYTHING. They look like pros out on the dance floor. I tell my husband, "see, we could do that, if we took lessons".

[Victoria Delsoul]

Don't you worry about it. Sign up, I'm sure you'll learn fast because it's easy. It's just practice like anything - and you look great, so next time you go on a cruise, you'll be the star.

[Mama_Bear]

He doesn't visit too often, he's a shy one. : )

Probably a good thing. LOL. Don't know if fuzzy could handle it if he showed up more often. ;-)

[Mama_Bear]

It's worth thinking about. :-)

Going to bed now, TTYL, Victoria. Good night.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Nighty night, Lori.

Sweet dreams. See ya tomorrow.

[Majie Purple]

Thank you very much! I'm enjoying checking out what gems and FRiends I'll find. There is so much to choose from!Yes indeed Billie's dresses etc...are quite lovely!

[Majie Purple]

I went to Doll Maker...Made a Doll...Bookmarked it...But have yet to figure out the HTML transfer portion...I'm studying all the aids as to how. Once I get the hang of it I'll post the doll I made. Thanks again for the link to the Doll Maker place. It was/is fun!

[tuliptree76]

Ping.

[Revel]

Pong

Thanks :)

[DollyCali]

you are welcome! I am not sure completley how to do all in site. The one doll I did & posted was interesting.. I hit a button & it opened up on my graphic program (Picture it).. and I added my screen name.. etc. Not sure how I even did it. It is fun but my big downfall with programs is Google Earth.. I fly around the world exploring & seeing places I have visited & friends neighborhoods/homes. VERY addictive

Happy Weekend to the Finest
