• 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?

Don't forget politics and the prickle. Gotta be calm. People are wound!


Yeah, the power of politics and the prickle is fear of losing money.

My boss just made it clear today that he's looking to phase out non-vaxers.

This is why I'm happy to be acclimated to the minimum.

You can't spend your days like chicken little and expect to be rescued. If you feel xyz is on the horizon you should do something about it. Yelling doesn't solve the problem.

Whatever people do or don't do is their business. That's my perspective.

Same here.

I see a lot of things on CF I don't encounter elsewhere. My feed is narrow and I'm not connected with friends or family. I don't get a lot of opinion posts. We're using it professionally. You stay on target.

It's surprising certain topics generate emotion and conflict. Shocking actually. I'm not exposed to it. I remember when people were relaxed.

Chances….I finish my program next year and begin working on bringing patterns to the market and start the next leg of my studies.

I took a risk and it paid off. The leap was trusting God and walking out His plan. My friend was there when my ‘eye’ came to life. It started with avatars.

I developed a signature look and “dressed” my friends. That’s what I called it. I chose images for everyone that fit them perfectly. I redesigned the ones I selected for myself, cara, and another. I’d change everything. The directions were specific and the end result was gorgeous.

Something minor blossomed into what I’m doing today. Needless to say the song fits.

Right,

"You are what you eat", you become what you feed.

My feed is very limited as well.

I made sweeping changes during the Covington scandal. Seeing the mayhem (doxxing, threats, etc.) made me realize its better to keep my friends and loved ones off my account. They don’t need to be harassed because someone doesn’t agree with something I’ve said or done.

How’s van life?

Hmmmm, see I don't even know what Covington is, ha ha.


CF is all I do besides Youtube, which is more just watching vids.

Van life is cool...it'll be a whole lot better when I shake these fetters.

That was the incident involving the Christian high school boys accused of threatening an older person. It was misrepresented in the media. The kids were harassed and so were their families. Personal details (including contact information) was released on the Internet. Many took sides and berated them without knowing the facts.

When the footage was released with the missing parts it presented a different picture. They were the victims. He sued the news outlets and received a settlement. Media culpability aside, no one should receive death threats over something like this.

Do you plan to move from place to place or have a home base?

We unpacked the mini fridge. It has 3 small dents. I'm going to replace it. Otherwise, the unit works fine. I don't know what happened in transit but the box looked awful! It's back in stock at Wayfair and I may order from them.

I have the strangest experiences with large packages from Amazon. This came through FedEx.

Oh yeah, that entertainment box can be used to skew anything.

Mobile with some depots here and there.

I saw it unfold here. They were ready to string him up based on skewed videos. I stick with my network for a reason.

That's cool. Seeing the world expands your horizons.
