    Hiya. I just came to CF to feed my cat, but I'm happy to see someone else has been in the kitchen recently. :)

    Adiaphora Alehouse (10)

    Isn't the quiet of the country great, Lambie? Nick and I went round and round about being too remote, because I've lived in almost isolated locations and I refused to do it again, but I love being away from the noise and lights of town. We're just outside the city limits in a little known...

    Netti Pot

    I started with a Netti Pot, but now use a sinus rinse/flush bottle (found at Wal-Mart, etc.) to get it over with quickly and get more bad stuff out. It does help if you're in a polluted area or if you have sinus issues, but I don't use mine every day.

    Anyone plan on watching The Bible on the History Channel?

    Ha! I didn't think we'd bother with FAFSA until we saw on campus housing costs for fall!!!! Audra signed up for their review this week just in case those scholarships don't come through. Fun, isn't it? ^_^ I was listening to the show, but not really watching it. Hopefully, it will be on in...

    When God's timing increases sorrow

    Yes, Lambie, I do feel guilty for not being there, even though I know it's not logical. That's what grief does, I suppose. Thank you for the kind words. :) She is indeed with Jesus and He has finally healed her as she said He would. That is very comforting. Filo, your words are, of course...

    When God's timing increases sorrow

    My grandmother has died. It's been less than 24 hours, but within the week or two the doctor said was most likely when she fell ill. We couldn't be there nor can be make it in time for the funeral this weekend. :( Don't get me wrong, she was 3 months shy of 102 years old and the whole family...

    I know people can be petty but wow...

    :( Becks, this is just so wrong and I doubt it's only about the music. Growing up in a small congregation, we were at the mercy of volunteer organists and there plenty of missed or wrong notes and other mistakes, but we just smiled and carried on. If anyone ever complained, I was oblivious to...

    WELS creating their own Bible (and one other question)?

    Ah, the trappings of equating a holy vessel with divinity. It's almost as if Mary is held up as being less human than Christ by some, which is utter and complete nonsense.

    What's next for you, Mel? Besides the wedding, of course. Congrats, Tang!!! We must be a bunch of gluttons for punishment. ;) I have another 1 1/2 years to finish my BS in ICT, but I'm already looking forward to the two years beyond that to specialize in networking.

    :o Surely not, Mel. Are there bad feelings because of wedding plans? If it's more than that, I can't imagine how awful that could potentially be for you guys. :pray:

    Hi, Cally. :) Flipper, it seems as though your SIL has made the choice to move on. It has to be tough, but perhaps she and the entire family can put it all behind them. What a horrible situation to be placed in. :(

    Santa Muerta Death cult of Mexico

    I was raised on the Texas-Mexico border and it's been around for as long as I can remember. Even though I used to go to Mexico by myself in high school to shop, I never wandered too far from the main streets. Unfortunately, it's not safe to do that anymore because of the drug cartels. Mexico...
