I'll pass on the graphic tonight - just in case...

Thanks for your creative rememberances of your comrades.

RE: FR , I'm just glad I don't have to fix it! I have enough trouble with pictures. :)

[daisyscarlett]

Your vacation getaway sounds great...We did a feature a while back-don't know if you were here then-on FReeper Backhoe who lives in Brunswick-his family has lived there for years. We learnt so much about the area. Have a great trip...I picked this graphic in keeping with our International Theme this week, lol...

Good night angel. God bless.

I'm going to check out and go see what I can find out about the Moscow situation. See you guys later. God bless.

What a day...I guess petuniasevan will see your nice message someday...lol...She works the swingshift so about the time she got up this morning to join us, FR went down. And it has been up and down all day....Perhaps when she gets home from work later some of us will still be here and maybe FR will be totally fixed. It is not there yet, still takes forever to post...

[daisyscarlett]

Enjoyed your post. Nice to hear from the college set. I must tell you that there are liberal professors in most universities unless you attend an ultra-conservative school and even then......

[daisyscarlett]

Great advice Nan. Listen up, graycamel-she knows of which she speaks..

[petuniasevan]

Sorry I didn't get a chance to stop in this afternoon - I went to log on and FR was DOWN!

I appreciate all the well-wishers who stopped by. If anyone wants on the APOD ping list, have them drop me a FReepmail or stop by the daily APOD.

Did you know there is a link to the APOD topic on the main page? It took me several weeks before I saw that! Scroll down and it's on the left sidebar, under the heading "Daily Forum Threads".

[petuniasevan]

Congratulations brother and welcome to Freerepublic! Sure is good to hear from you!

I trust that school is going fairly well. Sounds like the workload isn't getting any easier. How about coming up here for Thanksgiving weekend? I have that 4-day weekend off.

Yeah, I love the physical sciences. Astronomy most of all.

[daisyscarlett]

Hi petuniasevan-what a day. Yep FR was down most of the day. But even in the short time we were here, there was genuine interest in the APOD thread. You should get some new lurkers if not pingees...I know for a fact Pippin and Mama_Bear want to be added to your ping list.

I think about a month or so ago JimRob added APOD and a couple of other daily threads to that list of which you speak. Pretty neat...

Alas, I mentioned earlier that you were to be honored here two days in a row but that is no longer so. Billie is not doing her new "collage" till Tuesday but when she does, you and poorman will be featured in that very neat photo.

[petuniasevan]

I am as surprised as can be.

Of all days for graycamel to FINALLY register and post like I've been nagging him to do...

He's my brother. He's living in Missouri and is a student at Southwestern Missouri State University.

He decided a couple of years ago to go back to college and further his education. I'll let him expound on that if he likes.

College is never easy, especially when you are a "return" student. You actually have to learn how to learn all over again!

[daisyscarlett]

Thanks to you all....It was a great day and a great week on the Finest Thread. Thanks to you all.

Mama_Bear will be here tomorrow to post the weekend thread and links to all profilees from this week in case ya missed any...

Hello, all!

This is an e-mail I sent to people this afternoon while FR was bogged down. Everyone else gets to see it now!

"This is going to be a bit jumbled because that's how my thoughts are, still. I talked with Richard's dad yesterday at lunchtime. Meek was downstairs having lunch when I got through to the hospital. Rich's dad (John Paul, goes by Paul) is in Swedish Medical Center in Englewood. The address is 501 E. Hampden Ave., Englewood, CO, 80110. The phone is (303)788-5000. He is in room 269A on the 4th floor.

When I was talking with Paul this afternoon, I had a hard time keeping my composure. It was just so good to know he is doing well. As it turns out, Paul only needs a padded brace for his neck...the fracture wasn't serious. He will need quite a bit of cosmetic work to fix the damage to his left arm, but his doctor at home will do most of it. Paul said he expects to head home with Richard sometime around the middle of next week.

Swedish Medical Centers have a web page (www.swedishhospital.com) from which you can send e-mail to patients. I plan to do that when I get home this evening.

As we were talking, Paul told me one thing I said, "Praise the Lord!", stood out and was the reason he walked away from the accident. Seems like he's a man of faith."

Good Night!

Dropping by to say hello and congrats.

[Mama_Bear]

The coffee's on, make yourself at home OVER HERE.

[Lorelei]

Wonderful graphics! Thank you for the welcome.

[Lorelei]

Thanks for the welcome. It's nice how everyone has that comfortable feeling - everyone seems to know everyone. You all have made me feel right at home.

I had a time of it finding my way back here yesterday. I rebooted a couple times thinking it was me, but never could get in. Finally gave up in frustration. Today seems fine.

I love the graphics you post. Thanks again for the welcome. I will be back.
