Feeling frustrated and sad

Hmmmmm.

Anything I can do to help you?

This seems to be, like, the largest Christian forum out there, I think.

Okay. Can I PM you? I just want to make sure everything is alright and get your mind off of what's bothering you.

It's okay to feel sad. Just don't say too many bad words in the process or Santa's elves will hear you!

(My attempt at humor. Terrible, I know.)

There used to be a lot more people here, but the mission of this forum changed a while back and many Christians either left completely or reduced their activity considerably.

Maybe CF members are simply busy with their normal lives....

I am feeling sad and a bit frustrated....

Lately, I will post a thread (for example, in the Christian Advice forum)....90 minutes will pass without even one response....

I am looking for an online Christian community....

Should I look elsewhere??

You should remember that most members of this forum (I expect) live in US/Canada, and that they at present often will be in their churches just now, as they have Sunday morning.

I know waiting for an answer is frustrating, but remember that "... he that believeth shall not make haste." (Isaah 27,16B)

90 minutes, that's nothing.

I had a few threads, no response for a whole day, eventually, a few replied.

I have several videos in youtube, no comments ever, few threads in other forums that never got a reply.

I never saw it as big deal. Perhaps, no one can relate to the topic or everyone is jealous, I don't know.


But I'm definitely NOT gonna make threads that I think might make some of you jealous. Not gonna make threads like, I just bought a helicopter! Or someone gave me a beachfront property! I got my dream job! I just fixed the problem of my Ferrari!

I mean seriously, I got nothing to boast, got very little money, if in case my luck turned upside down, you'll probably never know.

I drive a Toyota Camry Hybrid. That might make some people jealous.

I might, lol! I don't have a car atm, sold it four years ago when I have to move back home.

But I doubt most people here would be jealous of your Camry! It's a very good car though. I've driven mostly Toyotas up to the 2003 models (and actually assembled in Japan) and found them to be extremely reliable. Not sure if the newer models kept such high standards.

My schizophrenia prevents me from being a real good driver .

I drive a 2009 Camry Hybrid, and I love it specifically because it's a hybrid. I've been driving it for almost 5 years....but I don't know how to drive it effectively (I use between 26 to 32 miles per gallon....I don't know how to get more miles per gallon).

26 mpg doesn't seem any different compared to a non-hybrid vehicle. I've read that hybrids are only more efficient in city driving.

So if you're always driving in freeways with very little traffic, then that might explain it. The fully automatic transmission mode will always be more efficient than the +- mode. And finally your speed. 50 mph tend to give the best fuel economy but my knowledge could be outdated.

Our family owns one Toyota, one Honda, and 2 Hyundai cars (one car for each member of the family).

Now I'm really jealous!

Japanese cars are extremely reliable and dependable. The quality of Korea's Hyundai cars has really improved a lot. In the mid 1990s, Hyundai cars were extremely unreliable....

I've driven Sonatas and Optimas back in 2008 rented. I have no idea about their reliability but I'm not disappointed at all using them as rentals. It felt just as good as the Toyotas.

Everyone on a different time zone. Saturday and Sunday people are at church. There are patterns you will see eventually. Time of day/night when certain topics will arise more than other times. I'm avaliable

I've only become a good driver after driving for 15 years. But I'm not saying you go ahead try if you think the risk is too high.
