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 200,000 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.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

Welcome to Warm Fuzzy Wednesday at the Finest. For those who start counting the days on Monday until the weekend, we're halfway there! So we're here to banish those doldrums and make you smile inside! Please feel free to post sweet graphics and/or little stories that make you feel all warm and fuzzy - or just come by and give us a smile. Only two more days 'til the weekend!

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

You probably are a “high energy person”. I used to be but my motor has slowed down a bit. However, my party turned out great, the food was delicious, everyone had so much fun. We laughed a lot and told tales. I don’t even think that anyone has to take back a gift! Another miracle!

More like I like to get everything back in its place as soon as possible. :)

But we had a most wonderful Christmas. Am glad yours was and that your 'newlyweds' were able to spend Christmas with you, too. :)

;o)
I am so glad your party was great and the newlyweds could be there!

[Billie]

Thanks, Meg. The cat is beautiful and regal-looking! The white doggie in my ping is my baby - he loves opening presents. :)

[jaycee]

Won't be long 'til Spring!

[jaycee]

Gee, I was glad to know that was your dog. He/she is beautiful and what’s its name.

Nap time is calling me~~~~I may be away for a while! ~~yawn~~

[MEG33]

How cute! I loved your pledge,too.
Isn’t that kitty a beauty! My kitty is long haired and pretty,too..a far cry from how she looked when my daughter rescued her..starving. Her face looked like a possum’s then.
My cat owns me..She has taken over my soft new throw...but she has to share.

Raise your hand if your Christmas Tree and all your decorations start coming down today.

Good morning, Billie! Very cute graphic of your "Baby Dog". We have four dogs here and they all made out like bandits this Christmas. Doggie toys EVERYWHERE! :-)

My tree(s) and decorations would be coming down today, except my Christmas guests are still here and more are coming tonight. So the decorations will have to stay put until the company clears out. Then they will be coming down pronto. LOL.

Guess what Santa brought me? A brand new sleek, shiny DELL laptop with a docking station! It will take a few days to get it set up and configured and all my files loaded onto it, but I should be back in graphic creating business very soon. I am VERY happy!

My son talked me into installing Vista on it. Since I have all new hardware, there shouldn't be compatibility issues. He says 'service pack I' should be released soon and that will fix many of the little bugs that have popped up since Vistas' release. I am a little concerned about not being able to measure up to the learning curve required to learn a new OS. The older I get, the more resistant to change I have become. But, so far, so good. It looks to be similar to XP, just way more bells and whistles.

Hope my sistahs and all my Finest FRiends had a wonderful Christmas! Now, I need to get back to my company, then I think we will be out hitting the sales in the afternoon. Hoping all the good buys won't be gone by then.

HUGS all around!

[MEG33]

Lovely bluebirds!
I'll be posting spring and summer flowers in the dead of winter to "hurry" spring!
;o)

[MEG33]

WOO HOO!I have Vista and love my laptop..So glad you will be back creating graphics soon!

[luvie]

I have been around the world...
...and warm and fuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
...will be sleeping till next yearzzzzzzzzz.....
Shhhhhhhh.....HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL.

[Mama_Bear]

Yes, I just love this computer and, so far, I am liking Vista just fine. My old computer was held together with gum and bailing wire (well, that's a bit of an exaggeration, LOL) and had been crashing several times a day, then, about two weeks ago, it died completely. I couldn't even get it to boot up. So I was thrilled to find this new computer under the tree.

I hope you and your family had a blessed Christmas, MEG. I'll get back here when I can but don't have any idea when that will be. TTYL!

[luvie]

How exciting that you got a new computer. Hope you continue
liking Vista. If I have to get a new one, that’s what I’ll
have to have, and I will want moral support when it frustrates
me, like it has a friend of mine! LOL!

Happy New Year, MB!!!

[luvie]

Those are beautiful, Megs. No wonder you want to show
something spring-like! (((hugs)))

[Libertina]

How very lovely
FR's Finest looks
this time of year!
God Bless, every one!

[Mama_Bear]

Hi Luv!

So far everything is going well with Vista. I am hoping that I will be able to handle the frustrating little things that come up after my son leaves and goes home. While he is here, there isn't any problem. I just holler "HELP, how do I do this???" I sure don't want to have to be calling him constantly when I run into a problem. My husband is running XP on his computers and will be little help. LOL.

Happy NEW YEAR to you, (((((((Luv!))))))).

[MEG33]

I love posting flowers.(((Hugs)))
;o)

[MEG33]

Thank you, Libertina..Good to “see” you!

[MEG33]

LOL..Santa needs a vacation!

[luvie]

I love XP. I don’t know why they had to mess with the
best operating system that they have had. But...progress
happens! LOL!

Have fun with it and with your son’s visit. My son and
family just left and it’s too quiet here! :D

[luvie]

Hee-hee! He sure does!...and sleep....LOTS of sleep!
