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.

[MEG33]

Good morning, Essie! Hugs.

[EsmeraldaA]

I know! ;o)

And in real life (I hate that term) I'm red and blue!

{{{LUV}}}

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Well, it's different when you wear a skort!

[EsmeraldaA]

'Morning ((Meg))

;-)

[luvie]

Yeah...this IS our real life! The rest is fiction! LOL

I will be red, white and blue later. Exactly like this, as a matter of fact:

[EsmeraldaA]

You look gorgeous and the color suits you!
Honey, I like your handbag a lot. ;o)

[luvie]

Thank you! That picture was taken...and cropped...while on my FReeper trip this past weekend. I needed a small bag that would hold a lot because I was having to also lug around luggage and a computer bag. I couldn't expect the guyz to deal with my stuff! ;o)

[EsmeraldaA]

Great memories from your FReeper trip experience!

Honey, you look a lot like my sis. You look more like her sister than I do!
Amazing!

[luvie]

It was a wonderful trip and I am missing my pardners a lot!

I am honored that you think I look like your beloved sister! (((hugs)))

[EsmeraldaA]

Thank you for saying so. I love her in a special way because she was like a second mother to me (a very, very young one).

[luvie]

I am sure you do. You're probably much closer than most sisters are.

I'm NOT very, very young LOL!....but I have a lot of fun like a young person...and I am very healthy...thank God.

[Majie Purple]

"Beautiful teddies!"

Thanks & HUGS back to you Meg!
I thought the teddies fitting to match
Teddy Bear Day of this past Tuesday!:)

"Hello everyone, Happy Friday!"

Thanks Es! Same to you!

[EsmeraldaA]

LOL!

Hey! I am already a Grammy, remember?
What I meant is that she was very young when I was a baby and a little girl.

And yes, thank God for your health. ;o)

[Majie Purple]

"...How are you this beautiful Friday? (((hugs)))"

Doin' great! (((hugs))) to you as well!

[Majie Purple]

"Morning PMM & Awww"

:) 's

[Majie Purple]

Nice pic & nice to see what you look like!

[luvie]

Speaking of that....how is that darlin' little one doing? Haven't heard anything lately.

[luvie]

Thanks. I had been outted on another thread about the shoot-out we had in Houston this past weekend, so I thought it couldn't hurt for my Finest FRiends to see me, too.

[EsmeraldaA]

Well, she's big and crawling. She doesn't like very much the 'walking' idea.....LOL!

[luvie]

She's got to be the cutest thing! Be careful for what you wish for. When she starts walking, you will be running...after her everywhere! LOL!
