  • 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.

What's on your mind?

I have too much to do this week and here I am. Having said that I think this place is addictive in a nice way

I meant to say tonight. The next week is packed, and I know I'll have a lot of catch up work starting Monday.

Man, Toro sure does love his tacos. And here I was beginning to feel like I might be addicted to marguerita pizza since I moved to Houston.

Wow! :eek: That looks reaaaally good!
It will taste even better. :ahah:

May I please please please have a slice? Or all of it?! :D
I would gladly share a slice with you. :)

Excellent job. Looks just right. Did this one smell like the first one? LOL!!! Ireland can back me up on this, they smell and taste sooooo much better than they look, and they really look good!
Thanks! This one was easier than my first attempt. The smell was great!!! It's like smelling all the things that make Autumn amazing rolled into one and the scent filled the entire house, even the basement. We made hand pies with the remaining filling this morning...they were sooooooooooo good. :flatt: I've already had to get on my parents. ha ha ha. They tried to get in the cake last night! Hopefully the pies have placated them.

I hope you have something to placate them tonight and tomorrow. Of course, you could always do what my sister did when she was a little girl and wanted to prevent someone from eating it. She would make a sign that said, "DANGER! Do not eat! POISON!" We had a lot of poisonous leftovers. :ahah:

At this point, if I could hide it I would. :ahah: Your sister sounds like she was a cutie.
I don't think they'd believe me though if I put a sign on it that said poison. :D My Dad would probably use that as an excuse to eat it. I'll probably have to camp out near the fridge to keep an eye on it.:zoro:

This is my favorite time of the year...... but sadly it comes with one of my least favorite questions being asked by family.

"What do you want?" :|

I WANT plenty of things, but the things on the list for things that are reasonable requests for Christmas gifts....... I already bought myself....

I either need to just start saying donate the money to a charity........ or... find long lost family members that don't mind giving new cars and stuff for Christmas presents. :D (Hey, it could happen..... cars as Christmas gifts happens in Lexus commercials every year at this time. :sput: )

Place a chain around the fridge with a padlock. lol

My sister was the baby of the family. I'm 6.5 years older than her, so, by the time she was 8 or 9, I was as big as most grown men. She was protected from pretty much everything. She tended to do really silly and "cute" things simply because she was so innocent about everything. She also hates it when I tell stories about the things she did. Which came in really handy when she started dating.:bigeye:

My family has been giving each other gag gifts for decades. Some of them were "bad" and some were so funny that they brought peals of laughter.

I hear ya. I gave very small list to my sister at the beginning of the month since she asked for it and what does she do? Looses it, lol!! And she didn't even realize she lost it because she asked for it again! I thought Facebook was a reliable place to put such things...

Well that used to be my family....... except, the gifts were not meant to be bad or gag gifts. :|

Im not looking to go back to that.....

Im not materialistic, but I hate when people give bad gifts.... not because I want "things". I dislike bad gifts cause I have to hold on to useless things because the person tried and Id feel bad just tossing it.

Well, I have to give a list soon and I have no idea. If I panic and have to give a list I will just go through the homedepot power tools section. ^_^
