  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Advice on son moving out-"tough love"

    This forum seems to be more about babies, but I really some advice/support. I have talked about this situation before on CF, sorry, but now the circumstances have changed a bit. My 19 year old son still lives with me, and I'd rather he not. In a nutshell, we have concluded that the best thing...

    My parents putting their dog to sleep today

    My mother has been crying for days now, and my parents finally reached the decision to put their dog down this afternoon. My mom is so upset, and I feel really bad for her. She gets attached to people and animals more than most people do, and has lost her brother and sister and now beloved pet...

    When "friends" are cruel

    This is more of a vent than anything else. After recovering a few years ago, things are going well. But my best friend, who is <edit> always talking (bragging?) to me how she can never find clothes small enough to fit her, how she never feels hungry, how she doesn't have to work out to be...

    Unusual disciplinary methods?

    I remembered that back in elementary school, there was this girl whose parents made her wear a dress to school if she misbehaved. She was a real tomboy, and wearing a dress was terrible punishment for her. Needless to say, we knew if she had been naughty. Have you tried or heard of unusual...

    Boyfriend's myspace page

    Earlier this week, my bf told me he set up a myspace page in order to send bulletins to friends and discuss their gaming stuff. Anyway, he told me that he had sent me an invite, but I realized today that I never got one. So I found his profile, and the home page states that he is "divorced" and...

    Healthy meatloaf

    I love meatloaf, and made up a great recipe. I just used a packet of meatloaf seasoning, but I substituted ground turkey instead of beef, cooked wild rice (from a can and drained first) instead of bread crumbs, and egg whites instead of whole eggs. I covered the top with tomato sauce. I did not...

    Black smoke

    Last night, I dreamed I was living in a beautiful castle. There was a man there, although I never saw him. I'm not sure whether I was a wife, sister, nanny, or what. There was also a little boy, I'm not sure he was my son or not, but I don't think so. Anyway, I was doing things around the house...

    Found something weird

    My cd player broke earlier this week, and I hate the radio, so I dug out some old cassette tapes. Some of them were not labeled, so I popped one in to find out what it was. My son, who is now 19, used to play with a tape recorder, and apparently, I picked a tape that he had made. It was a tape...

    Prom for grown-ups!

    My bf and I are going to one. Neither one of us went in high school, so we are going to our first prom together. :) I have my dress already; it's black, and I have long blonde and neon orange extensions for my hair. He bought a wacky, vintage suit. I'm really excited about it! Anyone been to a...

    Do you get nervous for your kids' sake?

    My 19 year old son has a job interview today, and I'm more nervous than he is! My stomach is in knots. When I think back over the years, I remember getting nervous before his concerts, fencing tournaments, etc. Does this happen to you?

    My son has a job interview today

    He is 19, and the job is in the field he is in college for, so it will really help him get his foot in the door, and it's a good paying job. Yay!

    Which one of you had to move?

    My bf and I have been discussing where we will live if and when we get married (I'll believe it when I see it, haha.) Anyway, we both own our homes. I have a 2 bedroom condo, nice neighborhood, with a pool, everything is updated, but it's not near either of our places of work and there's no...

    Bf still out of work

    My bf got laid-off 6 months ago, and still hasn’t found a job. His unemployment has run out, and the only income he has is from a rental that he owns, and it isn’t enough. I help him with his resume, pick out clothing to wear during interviews, and let him know of any leads I come across. He has...

    Need tips on cooking crab legs and lobster

    I have never made them before, and I don't want to mess it up! My bf and I are cooking them tomorrow night. What kind and how many should I get? Should I steam or boil them? I also want to cook lobster; has anyone tried that? Is it true that the brain comes out as a green cloud in the water?

    Nervous about school tonite

    I have to be part of a group discussion thing tonite at school, and I hate doing things like that, so I'm nervous. I get really anxious and shaky and embarrassed. There's no way I can get out of it, either. It's not an earth-shattering event, but it would be nice to get throught it without...

    Bf is down in the dumps

    My bf is turning 40 tomorrow, and is very unhappy about it. He also got laid off from his job, and is having a hard time finding a new one. He said he feels like a loser. I am taking the day off work to hang out with him. We are going to the gym (I bought him a membership as a gift) and shop a...
