• 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?

Greatest super hero ability?

Time control..... no question.......

Sure there may be super powers out there that are FAR more powerful.....

But time control......

Just think of the unlimited naps you could take.....

Got 1 minute before you gotta be at work? No problem, pause time, get in your jammies and curl up for a nice long nap, dont even set your alarm.......

What's that? You want super healing so you can have a metal skeleton and claws? Well I may not heal fast..... but I can take a week of bed rest and not even lose a moment in a fight against you. :sput:

Naps.......have one today!

Wow Im in shock. Anthony Bourdain killed himself yesterday.
I didn't even know about this until I saw your post, that's crazy. He was an experienced chef, was well-accomplished and seemed to have so much going for him.

Why is two meals a day good?
It's good for me because of my health, which is difficult to go into detail about on a thread.:) Also, unlike some folks out there (not on here)this isn't a diet but a necessary life style change.

I'd encourage you to research intermittent fasting. Some who do it only eat once a day but I have no desire to do anything like that.

Every time I hear on television "I may not have ended up with the grand prize, but I'm still a winner", I want to throw something at the set. A contestant on a game show, cooking competition, or some other program may have very valid reasons to feel good about his or her performance, but that doesn't change the fact the person still lost. No amount of wishful thinking can ever turn losing into winning.

I used to get the calls telling me I won a free cruise to the Bahamas.

The Microsoft employees with the thick Indian accents also occasionally call. They're fun to mess around with by playing dumb and wasting their time.

I hate it when they try to put on a fake southern accent.

I think this would be a cool idea for a film. A plot that begins with a mysterious alien civilization testing out a powerful laser by shooting it into open space. Centuries later the laser cuts the planet Earth in half. The top half of the earth is fine, but the lower half is gradually drifting away from the sun into certain cold death.

The rest of the film consists of everyone panicking and figuring out how to transport billions of people into the upper half. The worst refuge crisis in history, with racial tensions flaring, economic chaos looming and a rouge country (maybe Russia) on the top half tempted to nuke the lower half of the earth to silence the issue.
