• 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.

  • 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.

Probably the best thing to do is frame your question in such a way that it allows for one to give bad advice. Oh wait, that's good advice. Sorry.

I just realized I have ten toes but don't seem to use them all. Any advice for using all my toes?

Threaten to prune them if they don't pull their load. Works for tree branches.

Speaking of trees, how can I make my Japanese Maple happy?

Japanese Maples love Zen koans. Just stand in front of it and repeat, "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" and watch it flourish.

How can I be certain my hands exist?

Place your hands flat on a table and ask a good friend to smash them with a hammer. If you feel intense, mind-numbing pain, they probably exist.

How can I get my 1982 Ford Pinto to go 200 m.p.h.?

Stuff yourself in her suitcase.

What's the best way to get stains off a tile countertop?

There's an old trick musicians use - if you're performing a song in front of people and you make a mistake, when you come to that part of the song again, make the same mistake. People will think you're doing in on purpose. Apply the same principle here. Let the entire countertop get stained, and eventually it will look like it's supposed to look that way.

How can I get my cat to stop staring at me?
