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!

You'd Never Believe...

why this is not a super-duper-wonderful-knock-your-socks-off thread...
and instead a let's-see-what-we-can-throw-together-quickly effort.
But here are some possibilies

1.Oliver had 24 kittens.
2. The FBI confiscated my computer.
3. Hurrican Dennis took off our roof.
4. Woolfie and I had a mad 4 day get-away
5. I had heart,lung, liver, brain transplant over weekend.
6. I was out of state getting art lessons from Billie.
7. As I was kayaking on the Euphrates River I decided to visit w/troops a few days
8. My HTML went on pity-party strike for user abuse.
9. I went flying with Dutchess to California to see Just Amy & Mama_bear.
10. Diver Dave, Scubachick and I went to the Bahamas to check out the water and hurricanes.
11. I went to help Gabz following her foot surgery.
12.Snugs needed help in England with her dad.
13. Aquamarine needed some help sorting out her geodes.
14. I stuck my foot in my mouth(again) & needed to have surgical removal.
15. I joined Lance/crew for the most recent stage of the Tour de France..

Well, whatever the reason.. ..
HERE WE BE!!!! ..

And we will “be” for 3 days on this one thread. So post fun things, words of wisdom & use this for a three day HTML sandbox - think billie will be around to help ...but a few will be traveling.

And to use this time to wish a happy birthday to my DEAR son Jeff who turned 33 yesterday. His bride of 10+ years Shannon has a birthday today. Here they are with their two children at Stan Hywet last summer.

Hwy! I talked about it some over the weekend, but everyone is so in and out then, it probably just got by you. So, are you having a good weekend? :o)

[DollyCali]

yes, that is where V-Rock in Canton area (my shop) get's theirs .. and they are amytheist.

V-Rock

I am off for bit.. walking dogs with friend & his pooches.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Yep I sure am!

Are you enjoying your stay at your MIL's away from you know what?

[DollyCali]

will FREepmail you when I get home = check if you can again after 5 , okay? My bro is there in Choctaw

[luvie]

So far I am enjoying it. Haven't done much yet--but then that is the point, isn't it! I'll have to go pretty soon and get out of the jammies *sigh* and gear up for finding lunch and see what we can get into!

What are you planning for today?

[luvie]

I will do that! How far is Choctaw from Oklahoma City? Well, she is actually in Yukon, but that's just a suburb of OKC now.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Nothing much of anything really.:)

[luvie]

Ahhhhh--the perfect day off! I'm not sure yet what we're gonna do. I do have to go get dressed first, though! LOL!

[Mrs.Nooseman]

LOL.

I am still in my PJ's as well and I've been thinking I should at least take a shower and get dressed,but haven't been able to pull myself away.LOL.

[luvie]

Yeah--and I can't bring myself to turn the "pinger" off either! LOL! I have to, though! It's getting late and here I sit!

[Gabz]

What neat information. My niece has collected geodes for as long as I can remember, and whenever I run across an interesting one I usually pick it up for her.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

LOL.

I know what you mean!

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Morning Gabz!

How are you this morning?

[Gabz]

and I can't bring myself to turn the "pinger" off either!

I've never even figured out how to turn it ON.......*SIGH*

[Gabz]

Hobbling along.LOL!!!

How are you this hot and sticky day, Mrs. N?

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Just click the little speaker looking thing in the right top corner of your screen ,where it says 'more'.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

I am doing great!

It's hot ,but thank goodness not sticky!

No more tripping or falling okay.:)

[luvie]

Okay, I'll try to tell you--unless Mrs.N has already. You click on the little microphone graphic in the upper right hand corner of your ping page. Then a window pops up with some choices listed. You put your curser on the second one that says something about "java disables" and hit ctrl/left click at the same time. Then another window pops up that is gray and has "nothing new" in the center. Whenever you get a post, that windown turns blue and you hear a sound if you have your speakers turned on. You can minimize that window so it goes to the tray at the bottom of the screen. Try it and see if it works.

BTW--how is your ankle doing. I have been thinking about you and hoping it was better now that you had the surgery.
