• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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?

It looks like I'm a little late on this.... but welcome back Miles.
Hey, Mark. What's new with you? I seem to recall you were working on an engineering degree, or something along those lines.

I prefer Dr Pepper to root beer. But I don’t drink soda anymore, so the point is kinda moot beer.
I once worked for a company that served Mr Pibb in the cafeteria. That's when I discovered I prefer it to Dr Pepper.

And then there's Dr Thunder, Dr Perky, etc.
Dr Pepper Imposters
:hrelax:

Not that I drink much soda these days. I took a long break from the stuff. Now it's more of an occasional thing, when having pizza or hot dogs & hamburgers.

Yeah, even I have to admit that Dr. Pepper was my favorite back when I drank soda. It's been years since I've had it, or any regular soda.

I don't crave it anymore since I've been 'soda-sober' for so long, but occasionally I like something carbonated to get that fizz/burn. I just drink some Perrier water with fruit slices.

Some words of wisdom as a former MA student to live by:

Richard doesn't advise taking "combatives" (martial arts like Krav Maga, etc) for any reason but exercise or general self-improvement, unless you're going into a job in which fights are routine. "[T]he average civilian out there who takes taekwondo three times per week, gets their black belt in some strip mall, and all of a sudden thinks they can defend themselves against a psycho is dreaming."

Depends how much training the psycho has had!

OMM: I'm going to try spending less time online with more of my online time dedicated to whatever I'm working on (a drawing right now). I've been thinking that maybe spending too much time on CF is the reason why I keep having negative thoughts and lacking creativity, because it makes me think about all the things I read about too much. No worries, I'm not leaving because I definitely still want to keep in touch with all of my friends. :) I'll still be around some every day, at least to check on things, post in my Positive Thread, and look at the Bible Read Thread. I have asked God to give me the strength to carry this out; yesterday I spent less time online and more time drawing and I also thought about my upcoming stories some, which was very exciting! God is good and I trust Him! :angel:

Yeah, I'm working as a manufacturing engineer now. :thumbsup: With a temporary pit stop as a supervisor (currently). I imagine that you're still working in IT, IIRC?

I once found Dr. Pepper-flavored chocolate syrup. Sometimes I think science has gone too far...

Well, we will miss having you around so much, but, as long as you are not leaving completely. :)
