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!

Mission Impossible

Good morning, Finest Readers - your mission for today, should you choose to accept it, is to *set a pretty table* by making at least one post using the html *table* text I have provided below. Just follow these instructions, and it should be quite interesting - and fun for all!

• There are SIX examples to choose from.

• Copy and paste only one example/group of html text into a comment post. You will have to preview it to see the backgrounds and borders.

• After you choose the one you like, please type a story, a joke, a poem, or whatever *into the space you will have when you delete THIS sentence*: "Delete this whole sentence and put your post here instead."

• A word of caution - if you use more than one paragraph for your post, DO NOT USE THE <P>!!!!! Use <BR><BR> between the paragraphs instead!

• Additionally, if you want to illustrate your post with a graphic, please use only one, and place it above any of your text.

One more thing about the graphics - for this *pretty table* to work right, please make sure your graphic is no wider than 400 pixels, or it will stretch all the backgrounds. If you don't know how to find the width of a graphic, right-click on the graphic you're using, choose "properties" and it will give you the diminsions, width first. It is always good to include the width and height of graphics in your img src command when you post them, too. If you don't include the width and height in your command, as we are reading, the text jumps around and we lose our place when the graphics begin to open from that little tiny square!

OK! Ready? Choose from these SIX!

Remember, it takes *all* the text between each divider for one *post*!

Unlike the *real* Mission: Impossible, this thread will *not* self-destruct in five seconds, so let's have some fun with it. If you'd like to try some other backgrounds/borders, you can do that, too. Change the urls, and you get a whole different look! (Sistahs, please feel free to do your own thing with a layout of *your* choice!)

Now the question is: "Who's going to be first to set their table?"

[Mrs.Nooseman]

I've had a little practice at the Sandbox with the

and
's so that part is coming natural now! I just need to learn a little more about using Backdrops and things like that to make my posts a little more interesting! Is there any particular site where you can get nice backgrounds or do you make them up yourself?

[Billie]

I think my computer just crashed or my ISP went down or the power went out.............I can't seem to get your posts.........

LOL! What's your phone number - I'll call you. :)

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Dolli this sure is a nice table you posted here!

Especially that picture of the "eye candy";)

[Billie]

Billie, I love this background. This is the background you used when you featured my family and I "Honor thy family" Thank You again for that special day, all my family and friends loved it, as I did :-)

Thanks, Colleen. It is - I thought you'd recognize it. Actually, only the *pattern* part is, but this solid color really matches the leaves well, and I didn't have it then. :)

[Gabz]

I absolutely adore my husband (he is currently working on the roof) but I am ready to strangle him - I went to change my socks and found a whole pile of his laundry........I thought I was finished with it - but now have another load in the machine..........and no clean socks :)


I'm tired of rain - my gardening has been held up so far because of it - I am soooooooooo far behind. when our daughter gets home from school this afternoon we are finally going to get corn planted.

I've only got another hour or so to work this morning - hubby has a dentist appointment this afternoon which is practically around the corner from Walmart - guess where I'm getting dropped off????? And with HIS debit card!

[Gabz]

What's your phone number - I'll call you. :)

[lonestar]

Weinie here, trying to sleep. Keep it down please!

lonestar says one more peep outta me and she's going to let you be my mouthpiece. I love this!

Weinie

[lonestar]

I really love that!!!

Billie, if this doesn't work it's ALL your fault!

If it does work it only shows how brilliant I am considering the unintelligible instructions given. :-)

What? You didn't find the special one I made just for you to use? Here.....this one is so *you*:

:)

[dutchess]

What an absolutely too cool thread sistah!!!! And all sorts of fun tables to "borrow"!!! You notice that I'm immediately attracted to the canine variety!!!! WONDERFUL idea!!!! Busy work day but will try to pop in and out and "experiment!!!

[Billie]

Heyyyyy! Hi, Luv! See how easy and fun it is - you even got to post a smiley, too!

[Billie]

Hope you don't mind that I "borrowed" the Pledge Backround Billie. This is cool!

I don't mind a bit, and that is a GORGEOUS graphic!!!!

[DollyCali]

Yes, I have tomorrow ...

(oh, boy! I get to follow Billie & this sensational thread....AGAIN)

[MEG33]

You are wonderful, Billie!

[Billie]

Just put "Background Sets" in Google and you'll get all kinds of sites of pretty backgrounds. I have hundreds uploaded, of course, because I use so many every week when I post Tuesday's threads, but we use the same backgrounds on Mondays, Thursdays, and the weekend.

I do make up some, and also often use things that are not ordinarily meant for backgrounds. :)

[Texagirl4W]

OK, how did I miss this one? Billie, did you just give this to DollyCali? I'm jealous.

[Billie]

1-800-WHINING

LOL! That'll work. :)

I've gotta take a break. Will be back. You're all the best!
