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!

Welcome to TGIF at the Finest!   We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. From the beginning, we've been kicking back on Saturdays and Sundays and simply reviewing the features of the week; our weekend threads now start on Friday and continue through Sunday. If you missed seeing any of this week's threads and want to say hello there now, just click on the link for that particular day. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today through Sunday, please feel free to do that also. One of us will try to be around to see the welcome mat is still out, put the coffee pot on, and maybe even bring fresh flowers for the table. : )

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest The guy's good, folks!

"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

If I were back where my other computer is I could link you to Billie's great teaching threads..I have three "set tables" threads in my favorites file..

The difficult part is that no mistakes are forgiven.. My frames are much simpler to do than the tables thread posters do, however..

I'll bet Billie could send you links to her threads..I started off simple, found some more background links on the internet.other than Billie's that she so generously provided.and gradually learned more just by practicing ..I did not even know about tinypic or photobucket then.. It is easy to take a frame you have, copy and paste, insert extra tables, delete ,add ,experiment with widths and background colors. I usually keep mine pretty simple nowadays.. I did more elaborate ones when I was learning..LOL.
I posted my first graphic on Christmas Eve last year...a Santa..;) I was slow to join the fun. HTML was like an alien being to me.

[MEG33]

Thank you, Luv!

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks for the info, Meg.

You are welcome.

Hi Maj! Yes, we are having a wonderful time. The food aboard this ship is just out of this world, and heaven forbid I should leave even one calorie unconsumed. LOL

Unfortunately, we are heading home and they are going to make us get off the ship. You would think a ten day cruise would be long enough, but it never is for me.

When I get back I will try to catch up with my freepmail and pings, but I think I may be so far behind it will be impossible.

[Majie Purple]

So good to hear from you!
Yes I imagine you'll have lots waiting for you.
Don't worry about responding to mine.
Just pikin up where you left off is fine
;OD
I wouldn't want to leave Alaska after just 10 days either!
Take Care...Love ya!
