• 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 have you made lately?

Yeah, it's a bit ridiculous. Feeling the effects of this today. I am in the awkward position of having a family that is not yet Orthodox. Fasts, especially nativity, are a challenge of balancing what I want with what they want. A bit easier this year with all the restrictions in place, but I've found that the fasting cycle of the Church has had a great impact on my desire for food and eating habits.

I made sawdust cutting down a tree. The one on the right is from a dull blade. The dust on the left is after I sharpened it. I thought it was interesting... Anyway

Niiiice, it's been a while since I've dropped a whole tree, though I have been cutting a bit of wood lately.

The top had broken out of this one. It was an easy cut. A month ago I dropped a 60' cedar. That was interesting.

Isn't there someone in TAW who knits covers for street signs? Turning STOP signs into sunflowers etc.
We don't have street signs up here in the holler. It would be a wasted skill

I’m calling the macho police on you. I suppose you also took ballet, Pro! :sorry::sorry::sorry:

I kid...:sorry:

Very nice!
I knitted a scarf when I was a teenager. It got wider and narrower along its length and ended up with some big holes, none of which were intentional.

They've all been shot down or run over? :sorry:
That's out on the big road. We do let them put stop signs up at the end of the holler as a reminder to reflect on why you're leaving the holler in the first place. It has nothing to do with driving

And... Lest you think I'm guilty of cultural appropriation, my address actually contains the word "Hollow." Lol, dang feds couldn't even spell it right.
