Apparently we have several relatively new FReepers on this thread (YAY!) .... I have gotten a couple of FReepmails asking me what a *ping* is or how one knows that he/she has been *pinged*.
Since it seems to be a question that is in the minds of several, I thought it would be a good thing to answer it on the thread (yikes! .. do I sound like Martha Stewart? ... believe me, I'm her antithesis .... LOL!).
If I post a reply to you, by putting your name in the To box when I post a reply, then you are duly *pinged* .... or *flagged* (another term that means the same thing). You can find your *pings* by doing a self-search from the Latest Posts page. All the posts you have made as well as all the replies made to you recently will show up there.
Also, if I know of a subject that you are interested in and see a thread on that subject, I can *ping* you by posting a reply on the thread and putting your screen name in the To box ..... then you'll be able to find the thread by doing a self-search.
Don't hesitate to ask such questions on the thread ..... if you wonder, then probably someone else does, too .... :-)
Anyone who has never been to the Newcomers Welcome Center, should check it out ... there are some excellent links there that explain a lot about FR ..... including The Lexicon of FreeRepublic. You can find it here:

You are welcome! Lots of times there are things posted early, before you west coasters are up. I get up really early and sometimes I catch something like that. That was hilarious, wsn't it? Especially Roger Ailes's quote about not being gooey and wondering why the terrorists hate us. "They want to kill us. Thst's bad." Hahahahaha!!

I'll leave you a cup of the strongest coffee I can find for the morning .... but don't you dare touch it if you wake up in the middle of the night. If you do that, you go right on back to bed and count sheep or something til you doze back off ...... have you got that?!

Actually there is a little thingy you can load that will actually give you an audible ping when someone posts to you. Maybe someone can tell you more about it and tell you how to get it. But the term "ping* came about before that. Maybe some of our computer gurus can give some background on the term ..... I don't think it's unique to FR.

CR - oops, sorry - thought it was the song you were looking for. Too bad - I had seven more verses I was going to post, LOL!
gc6, indeed I do remember the bouncing ball singalongs in the movie theaters. My favorite was Daisy (on a Bicycle Built for Two). Great memories!
Guenevere, Kathy Lee may have been on the Mitch Miller shows after I stopped watching. I do remember Leslie Uggams, though - and guess what she had in common with Kathy Lee? They both were on versions of Name that Tune!
