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.

For FR's Finest Ladies


Changes





I started out as a tiny, pretty snowball Kitten
And I knew right from the start that you were smitten
With the way I held myself with grace and poise

Though when I got into my Curious mode, I could make some noise
Poking around the kitchen. Under the sinks and insides cupboards dark and cozy
I was just being Kittenish and nosy

As pots and pans and odd shaped cans
Tipped over and scared me half to death!
While I dashed and hid under the couch and tried to catch my breath

I remember the time that you were so sad
When you hugged me close even if I was bad
And told me that your Mother had gone away

I stayed close to you through long nights and days
Cheering you up without any doubts
Until I helped you finally cry your eyes out





Though those times I've grown into a gorgeous tawny Cat
Taller, wiser, perhaps wider; though never fat!
Having adapted to your eccentric ways as you have to mine

Aware that each of us sometimes need Private Time and Space
We both attend our Neutral Corners with equally Feline grace
Tending to our hobbies, moods and foibles too many to trace

Admiring beautifully slow sunsets while appointments you align
Knowing that the truce is over when you feel me lick your face
Or I hear the Kitchen Can Opener make its familiar whine

You know I love to help you choose a mate when men drop by to dine!
Knowing that if we don't hit it off, he's hardly worth your time
When selecting a Cat~Person over a Dog~Person is hardly a crime

I knew you had high standards and style since I was a ball of fluff
We've both changed and adapted to each other through good times and rough
When this match made in Heaven is more than enough!
