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!

Floral Apology
A man stopped at a florist shop after work to pick up roses for his wife. As the clerk was putting the finishing touches on his bouquet, another man burst through the door, breathlessly requesting a dozen red roses. "I'm sorry," the clerk said. "This man just ordered our last bunch."
The desperate customer turned to the other man and begged, "May I please have those roses?"
"What happened?" the first man asked. "Did you forget your wedding anniversary?"
"It's even worse than that," the second man confided. "I crashed my wife's hard drive."

Oh, my gosh! I thought it was just MY keyboard that is missing it's letters. LOL. I have no i, e, o, m or n and my h is wearing off rapidly. Good thing I touch type and don't need them. My cousin went to use my computer when she was here recently and said "I can't use this keyboard...half your letters are missing!" Hi, Lori. I don't have an "E", "H", "N", or a "D". Not sure why only those, unless it's because of the way my fingers touch those particular keys when I type. I mean, the "D"?!!! The "E" I can understand, and even some of yours (the "I" and the "O")
Glad you thought the post is cute.
Had to laugh at this picture below and thought of you, only because it was called a "fuzzy" computer! LOL

Your dreams are in HTML.
No, silly, they are in Flash LOL! I still have dialup and don't always open the Flash thingies, just because they take a bit to load. :) Thanks for your post. :)
