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

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.

I received this in my email June 10th, 2006 - the author is unknown.
I am wearing red today and every Friday ~ Billie

PUPS NEEDING HOME - Oklahoma City area

(I dont understand how people can do this, I truly cant.. but here is the plea.. if you want the email addy to pass on to your email list, I wlll provide it/dolly)

@@’

I have a friend that has two doggies that need good homes. Due to the ice storm and the damage done to their home (it will take over a month to get back into their home), they need to find a good home for each of the dogs. These dogs are very well cared for and very well loved. They simply want to place them with families who will love and care for them.

Lilee – 7 year-old spayed female Basset. Very good with kids and OK with cats. Sweet, playful, full blood. Would like to be a cuddly ‘only’ dog.

Boomer – 3 year old Blood Hound. Not yet neutered. Needs tall fence as he is a climber and jumper. Sweet, puppyish, loves kids and is good guard dog.

The link below shows photos of the dogs. In the icy picture, Lilee is the Basset standing apart on the left. Boomer is the taller, obvious ‘non-Basset’.

Contact me if interested and I will pass along your inquiry to the owners.

I’ll Be Home For Christmas does me in...Christmas Music evokes joy, praise, memories of loved ones now gone, Christmases when the children were young,friends of long ago..and of course makes me think of all those in faraway lands serving our country who will not be home.

[MEG33]

;o) Thank you, jaycee.

[jaycee]

Dolly, I thought of you when I posted that dog’s picture. I thought to myself “if Dolly had run into this dog with his friendly face and tail a’wagging, she would have taken it home with her.” LOL~~~

Hope homes are found for the dear ones you listed!!

[jaycee]

Your description of the songs was absolutely perfection! Lots of it affects me like “Blue Christmas” and “White Christmas”. I do love to listen though because I love memories, even if a tear falls down!

I have 1,000 things to do today (oh, maybe only 999) but I am taking off as soon as I clear my kitchen sink. And tonight I will do my cards. We always kept up with long time friends, even two when my husband was in the Navy and lots of friends of long ago, when we lived in Radford for eight years. I just can’t let go! ((((Hugs))))

I feel so bad for those affected by the ice storm.

I wish I knew of someone who could take them. I hope they find really good homes for them soon!

Thank you Meg
I’m off to shop. I don’t want to shop today but my daughter needs an outfit for her Christmas concert. I’m sure with bad weather expected tomorrow and Christmas in a little over a week, it’s going to be a mad house at the store. LOL!! Have a great day!

[MEG33]
