Everyone, welcome pcl to FR! pcl especially needs help in understanding the bump list!

Welcome, pcl! I hope that you've been warned that this place is addictive and there is NO cure! ..... LOL!

You are not the only one having trouble understanding bump lists ..... a lot of us "oldies" are confused about it, too. I'll tell you what little I know and maybe someone else will come along and fill in more details.

For starters, bookmark (on your hard drive ... in my browser that means adding it to my favorites) this URL:

Free Republic Bump List Register

You can then go to that site to find all the topics for which there is a bump list. Click on the topic you're interested in and all the FR threads on that topic will be listed.

Is that confusing enough for you?

Hello, you wondrous Newcomers!!!!

Just a short time until Thanksgiving ... and we have so very much for which to be thankful ...

Now's the time to remember those missing at the table ... now's the time to be ever mindful of how very blessed we were to have had them for the time we did ....

Now's the time to set a place for them in our hearts' ... for evermore ... that their voices are never stilled ...

As life goes on ... let those memories of those dear voices join in your Thanksgiving *prayers* ... for they surely know the words ....

"Our Father who ....."

My Mom always liked the leg ... Dad ... the skin holding the stuffing ... and NO one could make a sweet potato pie like my Aunt Anita ... as my dear brother, gone now ... used to say ... as he crammed his portion under the table ~~~ never to be seen again ... 'cause it was awful, really, but we all loved Aunt Anita so ....

God BLESS the U.S. ... our ARMED FORCES ... and EACH and EVERY ONE OF US!!!!

Wow..... all this information.... I may never sleep again, trying to read it all! LOL, thanks for posting earlier about the "pings" and "bumps"; I couldn't figure that part out.

Didn't lurk for very long like I normally would- couldn't keep my mouth shut... This is great!

SCalGal!!!

It is Thanksgiving Eve ... and I have been away a bit ... only to come back here and be given the chance to meet you!!!

Just another thing for which to be profoundly grateful.

What a time we have shared ... most particularly since September 11th ... but also through the last nine years ...

I do not think I would be so very prepared and armed with knowledge if it were not for Free Republic ~~~~ a better Patriot I am, because of this thread ... Alamo-Girl, JimRob, of course ...

Surely, it is Patriots who are needed now ... but, then, they always have been!

'Tis what preserves and protects this great Nation.

God BLESS Our Armed Forces ~~~ and God BLESS America!!!

And Happy .... Happy ... Thanksgiving to each and every one of us ...

I want to change that a bit ...

I wish a day for you all tomorrow which is filled with the lasting things ... those things immutable and so very solid they can not be destroyed by any single or combined action.

I wish you all a clear memory of the very best of your past ... that you carry it here to your present ... and hold on to it tight ... these are the things which strengthen us ... these are the things worth fighting for ...

You know what they are ... as simple as a kite flying high on your 6th birthday ... or the day you held your first born ... or lost someone near to you ... or found someone you thought you had lost ...

baseball trading cards and dance cards ~~~ filled or empty ... doesn't matter ... it all came to be a part of who you are today ...

And Free, we are, to celebrate it!!!

mercy ... just been thinking of you lately. *grins*
