A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day......August 27,28-07....Military Tribute

A Few of FR's Finest November 11, 2001

So many people have written me since my original Veteran's Day Tribute, asking how they, or a loved one, could be included in that tribute. Since I could no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I have been including them here as I receive enough to make another collage.

I think there's never been a better nor more appropriate time to keep the faces of our own Veterans and Active Military in front of FReepers--every day! That's why I wanted to do yet another Daily Thread .....ABOUT FReepers .....and FOR FReepers. But not only about our Military FReepers; for all FReepers! Wouldn't it be nice to get to know a few of the other FReepers as well? That's why we've created a place for just that. This is a friendly room in JimRob's house where FReeper FRiends can gather every day and just say hello if that's all they want to do.

We have featured different FReepers, with a little background information on who they are and what makes them who they are, along with a few photos you might not have seen on other threads; sometimes others write an essay for us to post as the feature for the day; sometimes our presentation is a human interest story found elsewhere that you might not have read; sometimes special holiday threads; but whatever the topic of the day, it is always with FR's Finest in mind and that is YOU!

Every Monday we post the photos of FR's Military Personnel that I have collected and put into groups; these will be available to view through a link the remainder of the week - every day just a click away. :)   If you would like to add a photo of yourself or a loved one in the military, past or present, please let me know; I will hold it until I have enough for a new group.

Thank you, and please have fun with us...every day!

FR FINEST HALL OF FAME #19 THE WEEKEND THREAD 08-24,25,26-07.... T.G.I.F. at the Finest

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

[Billie]

Great! Dear old Dad must have been really proud and I can imagine what fun you all had!

[JustAmy]

:-)

I was trying to baby my old PC along until first of year since I was told not to rush out to buy Vista. Guess they were right. :)

How large a hard drive did you get? Also how much ram memory? I was told to get at least 2Mg of memory but was not told how large a hard drive to look for.

[Billie]

Amy, I do have 2048 MB and 500 GB harddrive - which is just exactly twice the size of my XP. I had no idea it wasn't going to be comparable to the XP, as far as the percentage of free space remaining after Vista took it's chunk.

As an example, I had more of my own software loaded on XP and still had almost 95% free harddrive space. I have way less of my own software loaded on this one, and even at that, I only have 90% free harddrive space.

[luvie]

I have a good friend that just got a new computer with Vista and he likes it. It took some getting used to, but after he got accustomed to it, he said it’s good.

[luvie]

Hi, Dita! Good to see you somewhere!

(((hugs)))

Have a good week!

[JustAmy]

Thanks, Luv.

I’m kinda nervous about going into something new. I’m sure I will get accustomed to it but I’m not ready!! :(

Hope your week is off to a good start.

[JustAmy]

Wow! I had no idea Vista would use that much space. I guess that I need to look awhile longer.

I can stumble along on Marissa’s PC for while. :)

[luvie]

I am having a good start. We just got home from a wonderful
vacation, so I am trying to get back into the “groove”. It’s
hard to do! LOL!

Hope you get the computer you want. I was reluctant to use
IE-7 at first, but now I just love the tabs. They really
simplify things for me.

[La Enchiladita]

Hi, LUVvy, good to see you too!! I have followed your travels via FR and especially loved that photo of your picture window. Only time will get you back in your "groove;" I strongly suspect you are not in a big hurry...:)

[Dubya]

Thanks Dave I really like that one first time I’ve seen it.

[Dubya]

I sure don’t remember posting it. LOL Thanks for letting me know. I had a wagon like that. Maybe thats why I like it so well.

[Dubya]

Great prayer.

[Dubya]

Thank yo. I was just having fun posting. lol

[Dubya]

Anchors away Blaine.

God bless you for serving our country.

[Dubya]

That is a good one. We don’t run alright.
