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.

"S'okay. Just you wait 'til my short term memory short circuits (won't take long) and you can get the jump on me. I'll be standing in the living room with the polish in on hand and the dust cloth in the other saying, "What am I supposed to be doing, now? Think..think...hmmmm. Maybe if I go back into the kitchen it'll all come back to me...LOL"

Sooooo...you think
YOU *R* SPESHUL or SUMPIN"???!!!

I kin match that any day of the week, and try to put my cup of coffee in the fridge to heat instead of the micro beside it to boot..:))

"(When did you sprain your wrist and thumb?!)"

Um....was there a time when they weren't sprained??
Lemme think back--musta been...or ..naw - sometime in auld lang syne...and all the fingerpads are as numb as wooden clubs, making typing a Real Chore...

Let's add this - if I had a 2-story house, I absolutely would have to rent out the second floor, unable to get up all the steps...

But...sob...*I* have a two story house that I would like very much to just close off the upstairs and just use the downstairs. But my dh likes the larger master bedroom upstairs where he can keep all his exercise equipment set up. He is a fitness enthusiast.

ooooo I didn't hold it down long enough before to realize there was more hidden and waiting to be hi-lighted aaahhh the joy of discovery!

[Just mythoughts]

Evening LadyX, I do hope you are doing well. I also hope that you are warmer down south than here. January was such a warm month and tonight we are at a frigid 11 degrees. The calendar keeps telling me we are heading to warmer weather but the temperature and that wind says NOT YET.

[DollyCali]

Maggie, the civil war reinactments are wonderful for feeling the flavor of life in the camps and on the battlefield. Of course they are much nicer than any battliefled camp would be but you get an idea of how they cooked etc.

That was a lovely post...

thank you

[DollyCali]

Is jim reeves the same on who played the early superman?

enjoyed the welcome to my world .. and the visual was great.

I roared over the kitty banging the baby.. any of us who have had a lot of cats KNOWS the hysterical antics they kitties provide for us - alone or with other animals or people

Your graphic touches are so much fun to find here & there on FR.. You along with Billie, Lori, Louie and several others have taken graphics that extra step of personalization & creativity.

Thank you!

meg.. I too until Sept 2001(when I found Oliver) was a cat only person. didn't have a clue what to do with dogs & found cats an easy pet.. for care & travel (just leave them LOTS of water, liter & food)...dogs are a lot more work! I think I even had a deeply repressed fear of cats as one attacked Jeff when he was a baby.

Cant believe I slept my way thru the evening & have a red face to explain to abandoned date tomorrow. At about 5 PM I took a "short nap".. Got up at 2AM!

AWK.

I was to have gone out for dinner/movie. I have a slew of calls on cell phone & email messages.

Well, need to answer rest of pings, email & head over to the Singles thread. fortunately Ozarkgirl is hostessing tonight! and hey girl, see you did the graphics ! Whoopie.

[MEG33]

Congratulations Purple Maj! Graphics are fun!

[MEG33]

Your graphics are terrific! , Zacs Mom.
Celebrating in Purple, PMM! I missed the party, the graphic instruction time and I am sick(literally..with allergies) My days and nights are turned around.I am sending links to Billie's tables threads...Get ready..It is addictive! I did not even try for years!
