  • 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?

Man, that stuff would really weigh us down whenever it was produced in larger quantities at Dr. Pepper. You had to taste a sample of it every time a batch was made and then every time you went to check on it at intervals. Just like with any other flavor. And Canada Dry ginger was made quite often. That stuff could really feel heavy on you after a day of work. ^_^
Your job involved producing and consuming large quantities of Ginger Ale? :eek: Sounds like my kind of job, lol.

It's actually been awhile since I've had it, so I don't remember the difference between the Canada Dry and Schweppes brands.

Trust me, it's not anyone's kind of job. O_O Not in the lab where I was, and as much as I interacted with the rest of the plant, not anywhere out there, either.

If they have that for Coca-Cola, then sign me up! I'll have the strongest work ethic on that job!

Oh, the part about having to do the sensory tests ("tasting", for you laymen =P ) always sounds glamorous before you get there, but even in the case of the Dr. Pepper flavor itself I got sick of it after so long. Late in the day my stomach would often be hurting, and just that general feeling of heaviness from the seemingly weightier stuff like Canada Dry and 7-up is quite uncomfortable. (Which is weird that the latter two always seemed heavier and more difficult to keep chugging because they have less suagr than Dr. Pepper and other darker beverages.) I know drinking that much couldn't have helped my chronic acid reflux problems, either. ^_^

Tracie, I remember you saying here once some time ago that either you were called ugly and too tall by someone or many people, or you thought of yourself as ugly and too tall for a woman. .... Whoever told you this? What guy in his right mind ever said this of you? Or why do you believe it of yourself (I guess it is better to sell yourself short over the opposite extreme of narcissism, though). Because your photos and YT vids tell me quite the opposite. :)

This is a strange phenomenon I have witnessed with a couple of ladies. They are super photogenic, They are told they are very attractive and they look like a super model by fellow Christians many times and they don't believe it, but someone in the past (most likely out of jealousy) tells them they're ugly and that they will believe. *Sigh* I just don't get it.

The problem is usually rude people are the honest ones. They have nothing to gain in being rude. Kind people usually want to make others happy, so when people are kind I register that it is about them being a good person and trying to make a positive impact, not about what they say being true.

Probably still screwed up, but that's where I come from.

Also, I was cute when I was a tiny kid (because tiny kids are cute) but then I got to be 5'9 in 6th grade, chubby on steroids, covered in acne and stretch marks and miserable. Those aren't the pics I share :p
