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.

Out in the Fields with God
by Anonymous

The little cares that fretted me
I lost them yesterday
Among the fields, above the sea,
Among the winds at play,
Among the lowing of the herds,
The rustling of the trees,
Among the singing of the birds,
The humming of the bees.

The foolish fears of what might happen,
I cast them all away,
Among the clover-scented grass,
Among the new-mown hay,
Among the husking of the corn,
Where drowsy poppies nod,
Where ill thoughts die and good are born--
Out in the fields with God.

[Majie Purple]

"(The message bears repeating :)..."
The message on the gif I mean...

[Majie Purple]

If you only knew why I...Oh well,
...Still,
tis a nice poem!
:)

[Majie Purple]

My my cares aren't little my fears are quite real; their merited;and they aren't foolish might happens...
They come from already did happens.
But God knows the why & is bigger than all of that.
He is my joy and peace and my blessed assurance!
On this I joy giving thought I continually dwell.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

[Majie Purple]

No second my at the start & no I before joy there.
I typed to fast...
:)
Me type fast? what a concept!
LOL!

[Majie Purple]

Hi Dr.S.! How are you tonight?
Fine, I trust!
My real life Bro has that pic of R.W.R.
on his PP!

[The Mayor]

Please join us for Military Monday..

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Fine thanks. I really love that picture of Pres. Reagan. I would love to visit his presidential library.

Hi Maj. My cat is named Ritz, and he's a yellow tabby. He's actually the family cat - lives with my parents, but I visit when I can. :-) We've had him since he was born, and he's 16 now.

I also have a betta fish, named Winston, that does live with me in my apartment. I've talked about him on the thread every now and again.

Do you have any pets?

[Majie Purple]

Thanks for filling me in re: Ritz & Winston...
Betta fish are pretty.
Especially the blue ones that turn red.
But when their gills flair,
that freaks me out!

No I don't have a pet right now but hope
to again have a Netherland Dwarf rabbit
for a pet A.S.A.P.
They are my pet of choice
& always have been, through the years.

[tuliptree76]

Winston has both blue and red in him. When I got him, he didn't have much color on him at all, but now he's more than doubled in size and looks purple. LOL! He doesn't flare his gills at me much anymore. I suppose he's used to me by now, so it doesn't bother him when I'm around.

I've never had a rabbit as a pet before, but they are cute animals. :-)

[Majie Purple]

My sister had that Betta. She put a mirror near by
so he'd flare up at himself LOL!
She likes fish. She has a bunch still.
& not just Betta's.
Her orig Betta was named Sushi!

[La Enchiladita]

I just noticed you were joyous, didn't know about anything that happened last week.

[La Enchiladita]

Yes, indeed!

[tuliptree76]

I would like to have more fish, but Winston has lived by himself for over a year now, so I don't want to introduce new fish into the tank. I don't know how he'd react.

[La Enchiladita]

Very sweet, very true.

God is good.

God bless you

and all The Finest FRiends.

:-)

[Majie Purple]

Yikes! It's good you don't put others in with a Betta...
I know from my sister having them that
Betta's attack other fish.
Rip off fins etc...ouchie!

[Majie Purple]

"I just noticed you were joyous,..."Awww neat!
Cool beans... Thank you!
:)
