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!

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. : )

alright.. I am outvoted & now I know that I need to "calibrate my monitor" however on earth I do that.
:-)
the face of post & most of framing is grey for me. there is some periwinkle in the layering of tables
I am going to pull it up on the other computer w/AOL just to compare (but it will take a long time, as usual) -

The main writing is a pretty silver blue on a dark brown background. The other writing is sort of a gold-tan.
To: DollyCali
I still don't have all my 'stuff' from old pc loaded, but it's mostly my backgrounds and graphics files that I had organized in categories on the old pc, and am finding the best way to transfer them is to email them from that pc to myself, and open them here.
No CD Burner on the other one, and the floppies don't always work right. My disks may be very old, my drive on the old one may need cleaning, but for whatever reason, that method is not as dependable as emailing from one to the other.

Sorry for some reason, this first went astray to Dixie Sass
To: Billie
Thanks....I didn't realize how much of a relief it would be. I have no plans to go anywhere, I'm still a bit awkward getting around - but just knowing that if heaven forbid school called with an emergency about Jax, at least I know I can go...even if I have never driven hubby's pickup :)
He promised me he would get my car running one way or the other on Friday - and also make me drive the pickup to get comfortable with it.

Dolly, did you get a new monitor with your computer? If so, I think your monitor needs to be calibrated a bit. I had to work with mine a long time before I got the colors right. I don't know how to tell to do it exactly, but it should explain it in the manual that came with your monitor. Yep! Been there, done that. What a lifesaver you were, jk! But after all the crying over the LCD monitor I bought a couple of years ago, I learned to LOVE it, and bought the LCD monitor again! I did NOTHING to calibrate this one - it looks almost exactly like the old ones does!

billie, the easiest way to me has been to put all on an external hard drive(I now have 4). that is easily movable from one computer to another & good for trips. using the CDs etc is the pits

I see dark charcoal grey interior and ribboned border is a medium/grey blue.
To: Billie
I learned to LOVE it, I have too! I approached the whole idea of an LCD monitor with extreme trepidation, I knew I was not going to be able to adjust to it, but I love it now. I also love using 1280x1024 screen resolution too. I was SURE that I could not adjust to that and would be going back to 800x600. Now, when I go back to 800x600 (to check the size of one of my graphics for 800x600 users), it looks just AWFUL. Everything so HUGE! I guess it is all what we get used to. That and accepting change gracefully and with an open mind. LOL.

Thought I'd post another pic from our family get-together last week. It follows along the lines of today's theme. :)
These two brothers are US Navy Veterans from WWII. Ron, on the left, served aboard the battleship USS TENNESSEE and George, who happens to be the father of my bride, served aboard the submarine USS TINOSA.
Last Veterans Day, at the church we attend, a small gift was given to each veteran - a coin inscribed "A Grateful Nation Thanks You" on one side, and on the reverse, "In Appreciation fo your Courage and Sacrifice to Protect our Freedom." I was able to get a few extra coins and gave one to each of them last Saturday.
Heading for the checkout counter. Busy day planned - a visit to the dentist, daughter Deni's birthday celebration tonight, Logan-sitting, etc. Have a GREAT day, y'all.
Aresn't it a great day?
