A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....03-28-06....Hall of Fame #15
FR Archives | Billie

Posted on 03/28/2006 7:24:24 AM PST by Billie



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 100,000 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, or a profile of another FReeper.
On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY
If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.
We're having fun and hope you are!

~ Billie, Dutchess, DollyCali, Mama_Bear, GodBlessUSA ~










Thank you to all our Hall of Famers and to all of you who have become part of our Finest Family ... as regular contributors and supporters who drop in every day to say hello.  We wouldn't be here without you. : )
We're ALMOST FOUR YEARS OLD now! Still having fun. We hope you are. As promised, for your information and perusal, here is our fifteenth "Hall of Fame" - a list of all our threads from the very beginning ... from Monday, June 24, 2002, through yesterday, March 27, 2006.

Thank you, Noosie - these threads help me find old ones so much easier. I usually can tell *about* when one was posted, but sometimes have to look at two or three Hall of Fame threads to actually find a specific thread.

One problem I find is that some of our older graphics and backgrounds are now missing. Hate that, but I even found one of mine where the main background was missing, making the graphics that were blended for that particular background look pretty funny. :(

Father God, we ask You to comfort
this dear woman, Marty,
infusing her with Your strength and peace.
Guide her through the difficult days to come,
holding her close to You.

We ask this in the name of Jesus.
Amen.

Beautiful post and poem, Billie..

The last post was a matter of timing! I had to wait until it was on again!..to preview, and wait awhile again to post..I hate it when I lose internet access..

Oh no.
I wonder why that is.
Where did the backgrounds go?

The graphics have been deleted (or renamed) from servers. I try to leave all of my backgrounds and graphics in the openings I use in the same place on my server, but I do know what happened in that particular case. I ended up renaming that background and using it in another opening, without remembering I had already used it. So either one or the other opening would be missing a background if I changed the name back to the other one. Hate that. :(

Thanks, Meg. Hope your connection stays put now! I just love that brown pattern background on your post #28. (Of course, the bluebonnets are pretty spectacular by themselves) :)
