Rest assured that I am willing to "put up" with you just the way you are. I cherish each of the marvelously diverse, talented, and amusing individuals who contribute to Free Republic.
Believe it or not, there are still many who have not noticed this convenient aspect of FR.
I am also appreciative of the way it is laid out. I like to think that I am an expert speller myself, but I find it convenient to use for formatting. I type my message in the word processing program, and lift it with a Ctrl-C, then deposit it in the reply box with Ctrl-V.
At this point, I may still have spelling errors or typos, so I hit the Spell button. The machine highlights any words or jargon that it does not understand, offering me a choice of entries. Normally I just click Apply Corrections, and the entry is formatted for posting!
Then I go back and enter special formatting, such as bold or underline, hit Preview to check, and then I'm ready to Post.
It's really easier and quicker than this description.
Spell -- Preview -- Post ... not just a good idea, a way of Life!
I wish you a wonderful day, also!
Pardon me, but today is:
Nose Hair Maintenance Day (shades of Emily Latella?)
Do It Day (I'm sure the Net Nanny will put the right spin on this)
Pardon Me Day (necessary if you celebrate the first option in public)
Nostrildamus predicted this: Pesky, long, curly proboscis hairs are popping out all over, but --
Be glad your nose is on your face,
not pasted on some other place,
for if it were where it is not,
you might dislike your nose a lot.
Imagine if your precious nose
were sandwiched in between your toes,
that clearly would not be a treat,
for you'd be forced to smell your feet.
Your nose would be a source of dread
were it attached atop your head,
it soon would drive you to despair,
forever tickled by your hair.
Within your ear, your nose would be
an absolute catastrophe,
for when you were obliged to sneeze,
your brain would rattle from the breeze.
Your nose, instead, through thick and thin,
remains between your eyes and chin,
not pasted on some other place--
be glad your nose is on your face!
"Look ma, I'm clean. Cold and wet, true, but clean!"
That's cute! Who wrote it?
OESY!, YA GOTTA POST THIS GREAT STUFF ON TODAY'S THREAD!
Yeah, I know but I keep forgetting, and post on whatever's available. Sorry. Repent, repent, repent.
It's my luck that the one time I forgot to provide attribution, someone would write: "That's cute! Who wrote it?"
Well, I have an answer. "Be Glad Your Nose is on Your Face" was written by Jack Prelutsky at http://www.poets.org/poems/poems.cfm?prmID=1422.
Whew! Thought you had me, eh?
I think I'll saunter over to today's thread now that I got the silly stuff out of the way -- so as not to contaminate all the new droppings.
LOL
Whenever I get time, I will bring these over to today's thread.
:( ... I'm lucky to get some pings answered this morning and it is almost time to make a pick up at school. :)
You did great. I'm looking forward to more of your stuff on today's thread!
