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!
~ Billie, Dutchess, DollyCali, Mama_Bear ~

![](http://d21c.com/billie/G.gif) ood morning, FRiends. I have often wished I had a *generic* table to post on days when I'm short of time, or low on creativity, and can't think of a theme or can't find the right graphics when I *have* a theme. So, here it is - I made one - and you will probably see it again 'cause it just says WELCOME!
I'm calling it my "Ain't Got No Theme" or "Ain't Got No Graphics" table. When you see it, you will know it's one or the other - or BOTH! Do hope you'll stop in, have a cup of coffee, share your thoughts, pick a theme, post a picture, offer a suggestion for a future theme, offer to WRITE a future thread, or just wave as you drive by. :)
HOWEVER...... the ever resourceful Miss Maggie Malone, aka LadyX, not long ago suggested a theme for *whenever* it might come in handy, and I'm taking advantage of it today. (See? A theme!) Ain't got no graphics, though. (OK, maybe one.) Ready to play?
*I*, of course, have never had any many. : )

Hi, my screen resolution and "true color" setting are the same as yours. Ah, doesn't involve dithering. Hmm, this is a mystery still then. Hmmmm. One other thing it *could* be (the difference in the way you see it and the way I see it), then, could be the adjustment of your monitor. If it's at all tilted, or it's sitting higher or lower for you than mine is for me, the color is either darker or lighter. I know that as I scroll, my colors look darker toward the top of the screen than at the bottom, and that's even with the monitor not tilted at all.

Oh, I missed that wherever it was posted before, and it just breaks my heart. That poor dog - you could see the pain in his eyes. Thank God he was rescued and is doing well now. Bless his heart.

I will make a note of this for future reference - If I ever do have children. ;-)

Be sure to click on the image in that post to open a page with more happy endings! One of the best things that may come out of Katrina is the realization that pets ought to be considered in future evac planning.
I understand that the mayor of Galveston has already said that if evacuation becomes manditory because of Rita, pets will be allowed on evac busses!
I know one of the reasons people give for not wanting to evacuate is that shelters won't allow pets and they don't want to just leave their pets behind to fend for themselves.

to the Chincoteague U.S. Naval Hospital, in 1955. Sadly - no such facility exists any longer
Luckily no tragedy happened - but 2 weeks ago 2 patients with life threatening issues (one had fallen off a roof, the other a problem pregnancy) were unable to be transported off the Island by ambulance because the drawbridge was stuck in the open position.
Ambulances from the mainland met the Coast Guard boat which took the fall victim to the public boat ramp.......the bridge was fixed just before the Chincoteague EMTs were about to transfer the pregnant woman to the CG boat.
The bridge was stuck for more than 45 minutes....I know because we were on the causeway attempting to get over ot the Island :)

((( He Is The Lord, above all things )))
To: dixie sass; LadyX
I was in the delivery room - the doc had poked her head in took one look and said - going to change be right back - 5 minutes later the nurse practitioner opened the door yelled out to some FIND DR. B NOW and came back in, looked at me and hubby and said "It's us folks, folks".
At about this time a lab tech comes in to draw blood - I looked at her like she was nuts and told her to be quick about it. After about the 3rd time the nurse told me to push Dopc B. shows up and the tech is still drawing blood...that's when I looked at her and informed her that I was not donating blood - she had more than enough and to get the "f'ing" needle out of my arm and get out of my sight - she did.
Moments later Doc B. actually raised her voice and scolded me "Gabrielle let go of your husband's neck - this child needs a father and I don't need a strangulation in my delivery room"...just as I let go of him, Jax let loose and doc was asking where the camera was!!!
The whole thing lasted about 15 minutes.
