  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Using Google Maps To Document Your Past Life

GOOGLE MAPS LINKS TO PICTURES OF PLACES IN MY LIFE



After one thing led to another, I came up with the idea of using Google Maps to make a record of some of the important places in my life’s history. I have just begun this project, and have much more to do on it, but thought I would share this idea with some people before I go on. Since I didn’t want to post this project on the Internet, I decided to use Google Maps, cut and past the URL’s to a Word file, showing places I wanted to see pictures of, give and explanation of them above, and then be able to privately be able to go through it without it being posted on line all the time for others to see. Thinking this was a good idea and interesting project, I thought others might like to do the same thing regarding their own important places in their lives. Old houses, schools, places of employment, favorite places of entertainment, shopping, vacation spots, other relatives homes, and wherever one has spent some time are all places one could consider using.

One could even create a bucket list of places they would like to go.

See below to get an idea of how to do this. Enjoy.



I got these pictures of the places as they looked in 2018, so of course they are slightly different than how they were when they were associated with me.

Place the curser anywhere over the link, hold down “control”, and left click and wait for it to open.
