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!

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!

America Supports You website. The President mentioned it. I think it was free.

[WVNan]

Bear death or Grammy death, take your pick.

[WVNan]

When you ask me where the hardware dept is located, you have suspected that I might have questions.

[Billie]

Hi, Maggie! Thanks for the ping to the cute #284 kitty! And the other goodies a few posts later. :)

[WVNan]

Looks like progress to me. Having a quiet Sunday Rus?

[Billie]

Your cat illustrations for Victoria's cute Haikus were terrific! :)

[WVNan]

I had the idea that Jack and I would travel in our old age. Ha. It seems that obligations become greater the older we get. Can't even get a week off, much less go anywhere.

[WVNan]

LOL. Thanks for the puppy tale.

[JustAmy]

Maybe we can meet somewhere next year.

Another FReeper meeting sounds great to me. :)

[Billie]

A very belated "Welcome to the Finest", hushpuppie - so great to have you here, and you might have already read that we think your hubby is a keeper, too! :)

[WVNan]

Pay no attention to Sistah. As for the X, it stands for x-asperating. She's an x-cessively x-acting and x-tremely x-cruciating little Sistah. Mama loved her best you know.

[Billie]

Oh, that's a cutie! Hope you'll use it a lot - we're big on logos and graphics around here! :)

illie lue

(and if you want one of these critter logos, *this* would be yours. :)

ush uppie

[WVNan]

I finally decided that I had better stop making the thread too graphic intensive. LOL. There were plenty more that would fit the Hiakus. So cute they are.

[WVNan]

I love meeting Freepers, especially the ones I have "known" for years. It's like meeting family.

[Billie]

That's a beautiful post, Mrs. N - good job with the colors and layout! :)

[WVNan]

we're big on logos and graphics around here! :)

yep, I have several. These days this is my favorite.

[luvie]

Thanks, Rus! It is really coming along quickly! You're hard work is really paying off. Looks like it is gonna be finished right on schedule.

[Billie]

Hi, there - have been working my way down to your post (saw it in My Comments and wanted to answer a few pings from earlier)

The framing of the graphic inside your table uses the same commands as the outer tables - you just don't have to use a table 'width', but can do one, two, three or however many table backgrounds/colors you want around the picture and whatever cellpadding and border widths you want.

Just remember to do the center command, then the table commands, then immediately after your last <tr><td>, do your < img src picture command, and add align=middle inside the img src command. THEN before you do anything else, turn OFF all those sets of tables you put around your picture.

Now, the background you used this time isn't *quite* wide enough for that picture to sit nicely inside both the borders of that background. You could adjust one or the other - make the picture smaller maybe? (I didn't look at your source code.)

If you want, I can email you?

[Billie]

Coming right along and looking GOOOOOD!! (Where's the flag?) :)
