    Reynaud's disease / poor circulation

    I have inherited Reynaud's disease from my mum (if you don't know, it causes the blood vessels in the fingers and toes to contract and block blood flow, and is very painful). It's always been a bit of a pain, especially in the winter, but in the past I've been able to cope pretty well. But this...

    praying mantis - critique/tips please??

    Hello :wave: I'm new to photography and I'm trying to "collect" advice about how to improve my technique. I started out on film, but when my pictures came back my subject would always be framed too far to the right. After eye tests I discovered that I have a problem with my left eye which meant...

    poor 24... I could cry, I really could

    I used to love 24 so much. Well, I still do... in that I am still in love with the first 5 seasons. After that, well, I'm so upset to say it but I just don't care any more :cry: I've lost the characters I actually cared about and have been unable to make myself care about new ones, and the...

    I'm not exactly brand new...

    ... but I haven't been on CF for over a year and my life has changed rather considerably since then, so I'd like to reintroduce myself if that's okay! I'm taking a kind of gap year as it were, working as a horse groom and assistant instructor - living the dream as it were! I went to uni and...

    drunk in charge of a horse

    I've always wondered what it would be like to go riding whilst drunk. I have a feeling it would be something like this... or maybe like this... What do you reckon?!

    Roger Carswell

    Has anyone been to hear this guy talk before? He is an evangelist who travels around university CUs doing talks about Jesus. I went to see him last week and it was a great talk - he was funny and interesting and totally made me look at things differently. I went up to speak to him afterwards and...

    up for adoption

    How do I put my pet up for adoption?? I haven't been on CF much lately because I'm busy doing my finals at uni, and after that I'm going to be working a summer job without internet access. Milo is suffering as a result and I want him to go to someone who can look after him!

    help!! - blank films!

    I took two rolls at Christmas on my Olympus film SLR. When they came back from being developed one was fine but the other came back blank. I assumed I had accidentally exposed that film in some way and put it down to personal error (I only took up photography 'properly' last summer). The next...

    Sigur Ros

    Anyone know their stuff? I've just heard this one track by them, it's being played on British radio quite a lot at the moment, and it makes me tingle!

    I took these last week, I was out riding later than planned and it was sunny, so I stayed up on the hill with my horse to watch the sunset.

    Singles 'playing games' while courting

    I can't help but notice how many people 'play games' with others during courting and while socialising with the opposite sex. Pretending to be interested when they're not. Giving fake phone numbers. Flirting with people who they know have feelings for them, and leading them on, with absolutely...

    How has your life turned out?

    Okay, I know I'm only 20... don't jump on me... I'm here for advice! Basically, I am finishing university in June, and I'm terrified! I don't know what to do next. I don't have any career plans - there's lots of stuff I'd enjoy doing... too much actually... in fact that's the problem, because...

    Where to start?

    Can I have some recommendations for a gentle introduction to contemporary Christian music please?? Specifically, bands/singers whose lyrics display Christian values or reflect on spirituality and Christian issues. I'm not too bothered about genre, as I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to...

    Is this depression... or am I just being silly?

    I don't feel like my life means anything... there is no point in me being here. I feel lost and overwhelmed, and I feel so far from God because I don't know how to be close to him. I don't really have many friends, and I'm very lonely. Most of the time the only place I want to be is in bed. My...

    My Blood, My Grief, My Pain Relief

    He took you away as part of His great plan – I know my loss will be heaven’s gain, But that still does nothing for my pain. And it doesn’t mean that each day Is any easier than the day before. Every sunset, every dawn, every turn of the tide, My heart breaks again, And my pain is renewed...

    In Dreams

    I dream of a day when the world feels right. I dream of a lake and the reflection of moonlight. I dream of a child with a smile on her face. I dream of wild horses, their strength and their grace. I dream of the rain drumming on a roof of tin. I dream of a breeze which caresses my skin...
