  • 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.

Here we go-again!!!!

Again Labour are gearing up for another round of PRIVATISATIONS
selling off, 3 of BAA's airports to the highest bidder
The only people, able to buy them
would be big-business conglomerations of, companies

http://video.msn.com/?mkt=en-gb&tab=s1190634400496&from=news

It seems that the only way the goverment has of raising cash
is by selling-off, National Assets

Things could get real bad here...
with politicians receiving salaries, hundreds of times more
than the average man in the street
With their management fingers in big companies
it isnt difficult to see money, leaking from the public purse

:wave:

:thumbsup:

Thank you Bro' for your reminiscences
It is perhaps true that these days they are empowered [able to influence]
to set or, have set their own rate of pay
and claim expenses for the upkeep of a second home
a Nanny for the kids and domestic staff to-boot

At a time when this country is seeing rapidly approaching social deprivations
Such 'state-employees' are of-course CUSHIONED
against having to experience these events themselves

Cheers

dave



PS...

we MUST call a 'card' a 'card' mustn't we ?

Hey y'all am back :)

I didn't occupy up my theatre-table until 11.45am
The 'tube' was installed
and balloons were inserted through-it and enlarged along the required length
of the designated vessel in progressively larger sizes
11x4 there was, some discomfort upon inflation
and later, as these inflations were held 'open' in stretching mode.

After, almost an hour the surgeon removed his 'bits and pieces'
and held the wound 'sealed' with finger pressure for around ten minutes
and then substituted my fingers for his, over a pad

After, Lunch and Tea [meals] at the hospital and with barely any blood at-all, I passed through
the REST and REMOBILISATION sequences
and was able to be discharged from the hospital at a little before 6pm

I can report that I am no-longer in need of a crutch to lean on
I was told that should the vessel collapse... then a stent will be inserted to keep it from closing down

:)

It falls to me, to thank you all
for your prayers, blessings and good wishes
and to praise Him for His grace and mercy

BIG (((:)hug:)))) your Bro' dave

:wave: I'm so pleased to hear everything went well Dave.

:)

On the day of the surgery, whilst walking around
as a part of the remobilisation process
I walked the almost quarter of a mile to the restaurant area
AND back again..... without my crutch ??

The following day... I went shopping [without my crutch]
after 150 yards... I am back to the same old, same old
and experiencing much quicker onsets of subsequent halts

I made it back home, but I realize that this 'upward incline'
has steepened somewhat and though not of my choosing
is nevertheless, my prescribed direction, apparently

I wont allow myself to become disappointed
because the slight bruising from the procedure has yet still to fade

I was 'warned' pre-op, that they could dislodge a bit of the obstruction
and that it could wander down my leg
and block it, in narrowings further down
and, that the site of the procedure could collapse
where then I would need a stent inserted there, soon

There is nothing to be gained by my becoming hypochondriacal
concerning my perceived symptoms these last few days
'what will be, will be'

I await to receive details of the follow-up exam
Mary says she heard hospital staff mention 'six weeks or so'

I am grateful for my blessings...
On the 19th of March I was allowed to walk tall
and able to recall 'times' before I got ill
In July, I will have been here [with Mary] for two-years
and have no-regrets and no-wish, to be 'elsewhere'

'Live in a roundhouse' ? LOL... I live in and AROUND this house :D

I will LIVE as if, I expect to live 100 years more
knowing, that when I am 'called' no 'man' can prevent it
and that it is His will, that will be done

I am, in His hands...

:wave:

awwwwww tansy Sis'

all earthly things, are temporary/transient/changing/passing.... 'sometime'

I wont let it weigh me down at-all
and will wait and see....
what, He has in mind for me... in the coming days
Please do not become over-anxious for me
there is no need... He, is my rock

For a couple of hours this morning, I had stabbing 'pains' in my heart
but they passed, as have the 'pains' [at rest] in my right calf
and I am again comfortable

As you said; this may have been a 'temporary thing' [a hiccough]
we all bear some form of 'cross' in our lives
and we must be grateful for the privilege of, knowing it

I do hope to make a start in the garden sometime soon
but wont rush into those labours just yet

I can post messages from either one of, several computers, here
also, an internet cafe/wireless hotspot
has opened just down the road from where we live
So, if, I should cease to post... there will be good reason

In the meantime, let us praise Him for His grace
and for, the blessing of, every-day He gives us
amen

:wave:

your Bro'

I am presently receiving redirects to other sites, from the forums here
I have, my popup blocker on [so, this sort of thing shouldn't occur]
Am now, running, the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool
and Comodo's Antivirus Scan to deal with any 'nasties'
If, they come-up 'clean' then this problem may be an onsite-thing

Hi Dave :wave:
remember, you asked,
others "Could you live in ... (that '...moving-shell... house') ?;
so after watching the movie you gave,
i posed the question about "a round TREE-house", aware
of about a dozen families who do live... in one.

a question of simple curiosity
:) that's all.

re "How we are in God's hands, & His will be done"- known to most here already, ok? ;)
& off-Topic to this curious little house-exchange. Thanks! :wave:
