  • 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.

    problem making friends

    So I recently changed jobs from working in a stockroom with spanish people who didn't speak english (worked there for the last 3 years) to a job cashiering with nice women my age and older. The manager at my new store actually went to my high school. I seem to have no problem answering personal...

    Need healing

    First the story, then the request. I found out I have scoliosis when I was in junior high. It runs in my family. It is the curvature of the spine, in my case in the shape of a "C" seven degrees to the left. I have been part-time in retail since I graduated from high school and probably doesn't...

    I have a horrible case of baby fever

    My baby fever has calmed down a bit. I no longer play with the Rock-A-Bye baby Chou Chou doll I got a little while ago. I have lost 9 lbs. with my daily workouts and calorie counting so eventually I'll be down to a healthy weight for a first time pregnancy. Since my husband and I are gamers, he...

    Baby sign language

    I read from a number of people that by teaching your child sign language...you are able to communicate much easier with them before they are able to speak. Has anyone else tried this? How useful is it?

    dairy sensitivity

    Not sure this would help you, but I am lactose intolerant so every time I eat dairy I take one or two capsules of probiotic acidolpholus and it helps me to eat dairy without getting sick.

    clueless husband seeks sanity

    Actually, games won't be so much a problem anymore. We don't really play on-line games as much, just the free ones like Guild Wars every once in while. We mainly play console games at this time.

Yes, I plan on being a SAHM when I have my kid. I work part-time in retail so I can leave the job at my convinence. I don't think I will miss it...

    Does anyone else get tired of this question?

    Yes, I'm planning to breastfeed as much as I can and as long as I can. I will also pump so my husband can help me out on feedings. It shouldn't be such a big deal to anyone as long as you are feeding the kid, right?

    The Simple Life

    Yes, that is a good idea, my husband and I are going to Netflix.com most of what our future kid is going to be watching. I think I will also have him watch fun educational videos like Zoolife to get him interested in animals. I wanted to work with animals when I was a kid, like a zoo or similar...

    How to be a good parent?

    To give background on why I'm asking these questions I come from a dysfunctional family of control freaks and more than that I've been sexually abused by people outside and inside of my family growing up. My family is clanish, overprotective, impatient, perfectionists, and don't listen. I too...

    How to be a good parent?

    Does having a bad childhood influence what kind of parent you are going to be? If you were raised/around bad role models growing up, does that affect your parenting and if so, to what degree? What qualities/skills does it take to be a good parent? What does it take to raise happy, healthy...

    The Simple Life

    We will buy character clothing because we like the designs. Our kid will get birthday and Christmas presents from us, but just one or two. We only get rid of things in garage sales as well as Amazon and E-Bay. My husband and I buy things off of Amazon.com and E-Bay regularly, but used. We spend...

    why have children? i just want to...

    I'm like many people say. I didn't want kids before and my husband married me thinking I didn't want any. But one day I woke up with this sudden urge to have a baby and it didn't quite go away like it had in the past. I even bought a Chou Chou Rock-A-Bye baby doll to role-play and practice being...
