A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....12-28-05....Hall of Fame #14

Thank you for that interesting piece, snugs. I'm printing it out to share with my Wed. night prayer meeting tonight. It's good to know where a lot of our Christmas traditions originate. Hope you are doing well today. I suppose you made your trek in the snow without incident.

[WVNan]

Gracious, snugs. All that sounds so complicated, it makes me glad I live where the undertaker takes care of everything. He picks up the body, secures several death certificates, puts the obituary in the newspaper, etc. It's a great help to grieving families who have no idea where to start. Of course we pay through the nose for all that. I hope by tomorrow things will become easier for you.

My spotlight is in Hall of Fame #2 (10-3-02). The thread of LadyX and my meeting is in #5 August - Sistahs of the Spirit. Billie did a great job on my profile, and with the help of "Maggie Malone" the Sistah's meeting is very funny.

Good Afternoon to the Finest!I will enjoy reading and looking at these!

Beautiful pledge, Billie! I love the lady sitting at the computer as well! The first time I stayed at Mama_Bear's house, she was up at the crack o'dawn at her computer and every minute she could, she would be there. I thought, wow, she is really into surfing, then she told me all about Free Republic! It is addicting!

[MEG33]

It is indeed!

[Billie]

Afternoon, Aeronaut - still enjoying your time off, I see. :) Just flying for fun today. :)

[WVNan]

Just think. Without Free Republic your daughter wouldn't have a Grammy and Grampy in WV. Say "thank you" Aunt Lori. (and Jim Rob and Billie).

[Billie]

Good afternoon, Rev'rund. It sure does fly cause we sure do have fun. :)

[Billie]

Just browsed through a few of the profiles, what fascinating stories! Thanks!

You are welcome - it was our pleasure to start the Finest that way - then branched out to other kinds of threads when profiles became more scarce. :)

Hi, Billie...it has taken me even longer than the good Colonel to untrack this morning...my only day off this week, but the thread is so great. Love to read what was going on in years or months past. I tried to pull up the thread for the "Home for the Holidays" and it said "no such thread". Weird.

Hi, Luvbo. I should have checked each of the links carefully, but alas! I didn't. However, I asked the mod to fix that link - I had the numbers transposed. One thing to remember, if for some reason any other link is bad, hopefully the one just above or just below that one will work, and we also try to remember to link each thread forward (and also backward on the links below the opening post) - usually at the end of a thread we'll have the next day's link up - so don't give up if one intrigues you that you would like to check out. :)

[Billie]

Hi, Meg - I'm glad you're enjoying the links and again I'm enjoying seeing you posting all these cute/sweet/pretty graphics!

[Billie]

Beautiful pledge, Billie! I love the lady sitting at the computer as well! The first time I stayed at Mama_Bear's house, she was up at the crack o'dawn at her computer and every minute she could, she would be there. I thought, wow, she is really into surfing, then she told me all about Free Republic! It is addicting!

Aha! Told on you, Lori!:)

Thank you, chickie! How's babychick? Did she just love all the Christmas bright lights and stuff? :)

I am in need of instructions about some things, but I am holding off until after the holidays to ask! I took a line out of one of your "instruction" tables and another table to learn about simple framing. It is fun to be able to add to the graphics "conversation". ;) Christmas really inspired me to try it.

[Billie]

Go ahead and ask now. :)

MEG trying to learn HTML codes!

[Billie]

Ok, I'm going to put some html text here for your partridge in a gold, and a browngold frame. Where I have written "A whole bunch of text goes here." Replace with whatever you want to say. :) Copy and paste this in your comment form. You also have FR mail - some gradient ribbons to use.

Billie is the most wonderful teacher. She has made so many days brighter with her beautiful posts and her lessons to others at the Finest.
