They sure do.

HELP! Somehow I messed up this morning and clicked on something that reset my home page from FR to something different. How do I go about putting FR back as my home page? I've never done it before, usually DK does this kind of stuff. He's gonna be mad I just know it.

Please keep it simple a 1, 2, 3 type thing.

Is Internet Explorer your browser?

[Mama_Bear]

LOL. Good morning, Billie. If that doesn't get him here, I don't know what will. :-)

But I will add my hug to yours. It's worth a try.

[GailA]

Yes, latest version.

[Billie]

Start/Control Panel/Internt Options. It will open right where you need to make a change. (Home Page) Whatever is in that blank now, change BACK to FR's url.

Oh, thank you for contibuting these great photos! I love them all, especially the jet.

Isn't it great to have a military who is proud of what they do, what they represent, their country and the Commander in Chief they work for? The Commander in Chief makes all the difference when it comes to how our military sees themselves and how they are respected around the world.

We have a military who is proud to wear their uniforms and wave the American flag. That is a wonderful thing. Thank you, President Bush!

[GailA]

Thank you, THANK YOU, that was simple, I'd never done it before. Saved my bacon. I printed the instructions out and will put them away in case I do it again.

Actor who played Captain Kangaroo dies

Posted by: Paola Farer, Web Producer 

Several news organizations are reporting that Bob Keeshan has died. Keeshan delighted millions of TV viewers for 30 years as Captain Kangaroo.

Keeshan died in Vermont where he lived, according to Broadcast News Ltd. He was 76.

Keeshan was a television pioneer, who became the host of the longest-running TV children's show of all time.

He got into show business as an intern, getting tipped $5 a show to dress like a clown. He never spoke on the program, but Keeshan still captivated kids as the first Clarabell on The Howdy Doody Show.

In 1955, CBS hired Keeshan to star in a new children's show. Captain Kangaroo was a grandfatherly-type, who carried all kinds of interesting things in his pouch-like pockets.

The captain stayed on the air from 1955 to 1985, teaching and entertaining kids.

Once the captain ended his TV run he continued to speak out for children's programming.

"Television is a wonderful tool,” he said on at least one occasion. “It can teach, it can educate, it can be a great cultural influence on our young people."

Keeshan suffered from heart trouble later in life and spent his last years away from the TV camera with his own children and grandchildren. He was also the author of several children's books.

Do you mind if I save the flag graphics you all have posted today? I'd like to make a Pledge out of them.

"Do you mind if I save the flag graphics you all have posted today? I'd like to make a Pledge out of them."

Ha! Dangle bait, and catch a fishermanwoman..:))

That was precisely my thinking, Aquamarine, that one of you might be able to use them.
Glad you liked them...

[Mama_Bear]

I like that! It will make a great pledge graphic. :-)

[dansangel]

Thank you ((((Mama_Bear))))) for this wonderful thread honoring our military members.

Dear Father, please place Your bloodline of protection around all of our military members past and present. Hold our troops around the world and especially in Iraq and Afghanistan in Your loving hands and protect them the same way that they protect us with their selfless acts. Bless their families and lend them strength throughout their times of stress and sacrifice. We ask these favors in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

((((((HUGS)))))) to all and to my Fuzzy Brothah, extra-healing ((((((***HUGZ***)))))

[Mama_Bear]

Lord Jesus, Savior of the World and King of Peace, watch over our sons and daughters in the service of their country. Keep them close to You and give them courage to serve their country with honor and dignity. Be with them when they are in danger; strengthen them when they face hardships. Above all Lord, grant that when their service is finished they may return to us, sound in mind, body and soul. And Lord, for those who give the ultimate sacrifice with their lives for serving our country, please touch and minister grace and healing to their families. Amen

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dansangel; Dutchess, Aquamarine or Deadhead and we will add them to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.
