• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Not a real race, but a few street races, you know.

Ever been physically thrown out of a PTA meeting?

No. Good thing it would have been ugly. (I don't throw out easily).

HYE taught school.

No, but I'd love to see that.

Ever laid carpet?

Sort of. Every party the carpet came up and afterwards it was put back. This was a 20 x 35 foot room and it was wall to wall.

Have you ever been to a Fraternity Party?

No, as we don't have fraternities here. I attended high school parties, though, back in the day.

Have you ever thought about emigrating?
No.

But if I did both sides of the Tasman would make the short list.

Have you flown a plane?

I think so. Saw something in the distance at Yellowstone, thought to myself "rams" (if there's a difference). I guess they were probably bighorn sheep.

Ever ridden in a gondola?

Ever ridden in a gondola?

Original as in an Italian boat, no. Newer meaning as in a kind of cable transport used at Disneyland and ski resorts yes.

Have you ever used a rope 'lift' at a ski area?

Ah yes, I meant the cablecar. It slipped my mind that those boats are called that.

Ha yes I remember having some trouble with a rope lift at first. :)

Ever straddled a continental divide?

No, but I'm willing to say I'm Queen of the Road as I feel like it when driving on the open road here in NZ. :D

Ever driven or had a ride in a limo?

Yes, but unfortunately it was for a funeral.

Ever seen something so beautiful or astonishing that it was literally breathtaking, like it actually affected your breathing momentarily?

If the ending of games can count, the final seconds of The Beginner's Guide right before the credits. Just watch from 13:25 until it fades out to the credits at 14:41:


To be honest, there are several moments in this game that qualify.
(As well as some movies, fireworks at Disney World, etc.)

Have you ever knocked into something you could have easily avoided if you had been paying attention?
