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.   : )

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

I downloaded it. It has a 'exe' after it. Did you have to execute your download?

Bad girl, bad girl! :) The silly things teenagers do, huh? :)

One time a whole bunch of us decided to leave school in the middle of the day and go out to the country club and just hang out the rest of the afternoon - dance, have some snacks and soft drinks. And what fun it was. Until the principal called a special assembly and made all of us feel so bad. (We were the student body officers, class officers, athletes, honor students, favorites, etc - those supposed to set a good example)

It also was not fun explaining to our parents why we needed a written note from them to get back in class the next day.

You've posted a total of 0 threads and 14,964 replies. LOL!
We've got to recruit you to post THREADS!!!!

NOOOOOO! LOL

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?!!!

I used it very seldom, but it is a nice feature. Don't know why they omitted it.

No. Just reboot and it should work. It did for Billie after she rebooted. :-)

After you download it, just click on it and it installs wherever the heck it's supposed to - you don't have to tell it where! Click on it, reboot, then try it! It works!

Another LadyX Wild Side Event

In May of 1952, Pat and I and Jerry and Maxine were still going out as a foursome; The Senior Prom no exception.
I was going to spend the night with Maxine, whose parents were out of town. After the Dinner and Prom itself, nearly everyone in those days headed for the beaches to have parties afterward, in small groups.

Pat lived on Indialantic Beach with his mother, but she was spending the evening with friends.
The Other Three decided Little Maggie (nondrinker; noalcohol in my home; parents sometimes had cocktails when dining out in Orlando) needed to have the experience of drinking in Safe Company, so she'd know what it was like and avoid it out in the Big Bad World.

The Plan involved changing clothes at Maxine's; raiding Pat's mother's liquor supply for Scotch, and taking it and cartons of Cokes to the beach, setting up on a large blanket.

The guys poured, and all of us imbibed. YEARS LATER they confessed they had made every one of MY drinks a double!!
Before long, they were tipsy, and then plain drunk - raised-to-be-a-lady-in-control, I was COLD SOBER!

Patrick spied a small bird caught in the gentle waves, and waded out to save it, spouting poetry all the while to me!! LOL
Finally, we decided to go, but they could barely stand up straight, and I almost insisted I drive - still absolutely sober..:))
No traffic at 3 in the morning, so Jerry drove.

Everyone in high school tried to stay up through the next day, so we went down the beach from Pat's house to rest until the sun came up and his mother went to work - then went to his house to be out of the sun until we left for supper out - to the drive-in movie that night - and finally I got to crash at Maxine's!

They never forgave me..:))

Back to the screen resolution and the width of our tables for maximum 800 x 600 resolution.

Set at 1024 x 768, my tables are just under 10 inches wide (about 9 7/8ths) - I really don't think I'd like looking at them much narrower! :)

The way I intend to build my tables in future is to make a blank one at the beginning (turned on, turned off) that has a width of 775. That way, I can see how wide I can allow cellpaddings and not make anyone have to scroll if theirs is set at 800 x 600.

Yes - we four were Honor Students, Class Officers, I also was Student Council Secretary, etc. - and I in 4 years of high school had a 97 average, plus numerous awards.

When we had our Senior Play, I could not participate, living out too far to stay after school, so was made the Business Manager for it.

Did the advertising, had the programs printed, painted sets, and when it was time to get furniture from a local store for the set, the Shop Teacher (I took Mechanical drawing from him; first female to do so) let Pat and Jerry use his truck to go with me to select it.

It took us half the afternoon, of course, laughing all the time over silly little things...those were wonderfully idyllic years, compared with today's tense ones.

I tried that resolution a little while ago. I could live with it, but I changed it back to what I was running. The width of the tables bothered me a lot for awhile, now it looks normal. :-)

The way I intend to build my tables in future is to make a blank one at the beginning (turned on, turned off) that has a width of 775. That way, I can see how wide I can allow cellpaddings and not make anyone have to scroll if theirs is set at 800 x 600.

That's a good idea. I think I will try that. Easier than my method of upload it all to domania then going to my mother's computer (which has an 800x600 screen resolution) and viewing my post there to see if it is too wide. LOL.

I downloaded it to my 'downloads folder', not the desktop. Will try that. : )

Oh, no!!! Is that "cheating"??? I use other people's formats all the time. :-(

That's why I like the "view partial source" so much. ;-)

You know, kids don't always realize at the time that they usually have a choice of building good memories or bad ones, and it has more to do with how they feel about themselves than about race or class. One of the prettiest girls in my class, and one of my best friends, was one of the most popular - and she lived in a mobile home with not a very good home life, but she didn't let that stop her from being the best she could and making friends and getting the most of her education.

It might have something to do with it. Putting it on your desktop is like putting it on the whole computer, I think! Your downloads folder is inside some other program, I guess, but it looks like if it doesn't ask you *where* to install it, it wouldn't matter *where* you park it as a download.

Gotta go for a while, too - will check back later this evening. Hope you got it installed. (I do use mine a lot - HATED not having it!)
