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 ~









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.   : )

You should see *More* in the top right of your comments or mail or search option. (not when you're on a thread)

Click on "More" and it brings up your preferences options, and at the very top it tells you how many threads and how many posts you have made. :)

It's there! View Partial Source is back! I needed my View Partial Source!!!! Thank you, Lori - am putting that link in my favorites - seems like I "lost" that option once before and you had that link availble.

It's just wierd that XP doesn't have it built in, since it's such a handy dandy little feature.

Dolly, do you have it now? I think not long ago you were also complaining you didn't have it, for some reason. Maybe when your pc was down and you were on borrowed one?

Louie, you use AOL, too - can you do partial view source?

Nope! I used to have it on my old AOL5.0. I just get regular view source. : (

The download is here at microsoft's website.... http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/previous/webaccess/webdevaccess.mspx

But you don't use AOL. Have you switched?

I don't think I could get through the day without "view partial source", I use it all the time.

I checked your link, the download is for IE 5.5. I use 6.0

I've never canned or made jams or jellies(or pickles, Lori!), but it's such a treat when someone that *does* gives us a gift of their homemade goodies! :)

True Confessions Time

"Young LadyX Walks on the Wild Side!"
~ Halloween 1951

Keep in mind how small Melbourne, Florida was then.
Grades 1-6 were in one building;7-12 in another;
3rd building housed the Cafeteria, Band Room, storage, and my piano teacher..:))

These served ALL students in the south HALF of Brevard County - halfway to Cocoa and down to the Sebastian River - the beaches, and west to the St. John's River.

We all were good, law abiding students; well known to the police throughout the area.
While we did have a *few* spitballs appear out of nowhere in classrooms, we never had destructive students.

No one really knows whose Bright Idea it was, but it spread like wildfire!!
Passed throughout the high school body was
"Let's take signs from all over town and deposit them over on Melbourne Beach in our woodsy best Parking Spot - photograph them for the Annual - and the next day go retrieve them and put them back where they belong!"
(no mundane toiletpapering, etc. for creative us)

It so happened I was going steady with Patrick, and we almost always took Jerry (no car) and his steady, Maxine, with us on dates.
We cruised around northwest of town by the airport, and I spied an official STOP sign - - "GET THAT!!"
Bit of a tussle getting it pulled up, but the fellas came through...

Taking it to the designated large Parking Spot, it already was heavily littered with business signs, traffic signs - all KINDS OF SIGNS!
Several photographs were taken - police never stopped any of us!

- - -

-

[I of course thought STOP a fitting "comment,"
it being heard often in the Parking Area..:))]

And yes - the next day we took every single one back to its 'home.'

That sounds like a winner to me - I like snacking cold stuff especially when the temperature is high. (and a/c is on the blink.) :(

No. It's not an AOL program. It's a microsoft program.

I checked your link, the download is for IE 5.5. I use 6.0

I think that means it is for 5.5 and above. Try downloading it and rebooting. I bet it will work.

I've only been here a few times since I posted Friday's thread (until today), and I was still on the old PC then, so did not discover it until last night!

LOL! We've got to recruit you to post THREADS!!!!

And go ahead and download that link Lori provided. It works for IE 6, too. I did - you have to reboot for it to take effect. WHY in the heck did XP omit that feature?!!!
