I originally joined CF 13 years ago. I then was part of a group titled "Unequally Yoked." That group folded when they gave us a single moderator. Would have been fine but the moderator wanted to give us all advice. I came back for a short time in 2014 because I was so bored sitting at home...

I really can't vote on this one because the answer depends on the situation. If it comes up, tell him. If it doesn't come up, he just may be of the same mind as you. As far as I am concerned that is the most important thing in my next relationship. Likemindedness. At our age we can afford...

I have a day off work and had lovely plans to just relax, maybe putter around with a bit of extra cleaning. Well, my daughter also has the day off work. To her that means "Garbage Run" or shopping. She can't shop because her wallet was lost last week. Spent a whole day looking and found it at...

I forgot to mention that she lost her husband 21 years ago. She still misses him.

I was raised by a single mom. I saw her struggle. She is 80 now. Her 18th grandchild was born last summer and her 19th great-grandchild will be born in a few months. She is active in her church. And now I am free to go and stay with her when she needs me most. Not yet, but it won't be long.

I'm so sorry. I had only one dream of my husband and it was a dream that took me back in time, so when I woke up it was more like a memory.

In my heart I know that had I lost my husband when the kids were young it would have been hard. Mine are 41, 39, 35, and the twins are 33. My grandchildren are 22, 6, 4, and one on the way. It gave me a moment of grief when my daughter announced her pregnancy, but there is something I did when...

Not sure I am exactly new. I may have popped in after I turned 50 but I'm not sure I want to surf the thread to find out. There doesn't seem to be a place that says "I feel like 80, act like 40, but I am just about 60". Yeah, I would fit there. I considered an online dating site but figured...

Thank you, Westozzie. SpiritSong, thank you. I continue to go out to places I went before. I have relied on those friends, many of whom have experienced loss. I find that some of them seem to be still holding on even though it is years since their loss. I also know this will never go away while...

In my case I am "fine". The struggle with cancer was long and hard. God prepared me beforehand with a series of smaller struggles and a clear instruction gained through daily devotional time. At the moment that my husband died I felt relieved for his suffering and because I had done all that I...

and based on some of the post titles, I may seem strange. My husband passed away just 12 days before what would have been our 41st anniversary. Was he a believer? I don't know. Yes he believed in God, but Bible tells us that even the demons believe. I spoke to him one final time after the pain...

This reminds me, I need to renew my epi-pen.

I scored pretty high for having a cat on my chest digging his claws in, with my husband blasting the TV on AFV, and dinner boiling on the stove.

I wish I could split the groups...have a FB page for each group. One for my family, one for my husband's family, one for my writer friends, one for my church/missionary friends, but then some good friends came to visit two weeks ago. Missionaries and they offered to post messages on my FB page...

Yes, but I only remember the times that I didn't deserve. For my own kids, most discipline fit the crime, but on occasion, I had to resort to spanking, but there were rules. I couldn't be angry I had to use my hand Two hits on the bottom, no more

We have made gluten free, dairy free, soy free, tomato free, egg free pizza for years. Granddaughter with allergies to all of those.

I have lost nearly 20 pounds in the last couple of months from eating a well rounded diet. 5 veggies 3 fruits 2 dairy 2-3 meat (fish twice a week, skinless chicken twice a week, lean beef or legumes the rest of the week) up to 5 whole grains Low sugar, low sodium, nut free, banana free...

I have watched friends do the ice bucket challenge, but if I am challenged, I won't. For one, I can't afford a donation right now, second, ice could be a problem for my heart health right now, and third, I don't do pictures of myself, never mind videos. Challenges I have taken up recently...

I think it would be a struggle to find something that isn't modified from what our grandparents ate. The bananas that my great grandparents ate, maybe once in their lifetime, are not the bananas we eat now. I understand that my great grandchildren will be eating a different breed of bananas...
