  • 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

Mina! Praying a Godly man comes into your life sooner rather than later. :pray:


Onward with the questioning...


How did you become Christian?

Like tomatoes? Even by themselves?

What would you do if you had a tornado in your area?

What's the typical form of discipline in your school for 2nd graders? Ever feel guilty disciplining a kid?

Do you believe in spanking your future kids?

Think you might homeschool your future kids?

How often do you exercise? What do you do?

Did you have cable TV growing up? Would you let children have free access to watch anything on basic cable?

Did you know I was the class comedian in 2nd grade?

Do you like kids in general less than you did when you first started teaching?

Have you ever been told you look like a celebrity?

Mina! Praying a Godly man comes into your life sooner rather than later. :pray: Thanks! God bless you!


Onward with the questioning...


How did you become Christian? I grew up going to church, but Jesus was just a story to me. I never ever remember hearing about Jesus being the Savior-even at church! When I was 14 I went to a Christian play with a friend that plainly laid out the plan of salvation and I asked Jesus into my heart that night!

Like tomatoes? Even by themselves? Not always. I have to be in a tomato mood for tomatos.

What would you do if you had a tornado in your area? We have had several here. At my parents house we would go into the basement and wait it out. Luckly we never had any major damage. AT my house I don't have a basement, so I would probably go to my neighbors or if I didn't have time I would get in the downstairs bathtub/shower.

What's the typical form of discipline in your school for 2nd graders? Ever feel guilty disciplining a kid? We have a card/color system. They are asked to move a card for misbehavior and each card means something: Green=good, yellow-you have been warned!stop now! Red-no recess that day Blue-silent lunch and no recess, Orange= no recess, silent lunch, their parents are called and they might be sent to the office depending on what happened. I don't feel bad if they truly deserved it and most of them do push the limits and see how far they can go. I only feel bad if I know they are going through something at home and i know that's why they are behaving that way- usually in that case I try to work with the parent to come up with ways to help their child not act out.

Do you believe in spanking your future kids? For everything- no. For some things - yes. It depends on what they did and the temperment of that particular child.

Think you might homeschool your future kids? It depends. I would like to be able to do it if needed and would do so willingly. I suppose it really depends on the area and school district i'm living in. I think I would like to in the early grades at least.

How often do you exercise? What do you do? haha , well my plan is to run everyday and do pilates, but it's hard to find the time- now it's more like every other day or about 3 times a week. I want to do some swimming , but i'm hesitant to join a gym b/c I wouldn't be able to go everyday and I would feel like I was wasting money.
Did you have cable TV growing up? Would you let children have free access to watch anything on basic cable?
We did have cable growing up, my mom and dad monitored closely what we could watch. I would do the same for my children if we had cable- they would not have free access to anything and everything.

Did you know I was the class comedian in 2nd grade?no, but i believe it! lol

Do you like kids in general less than you did when you first started teaching? I love kids. Sometimes I don't like how they act. I don't like having 17 at once in general.

Have you ever been told you look like a celebrity? yes, people have said I look like Sandra Bullock a lot- sometimes Audrey Hepburn, sometimes a young jackie kenedy, someone said I look like Jenifer Love Hewitt and mary Steenburgen- I don't think I look a lot like any of them- maybe a feature or two.
thanks!

It depends on how long they've been left in the sink!
[FONT=&quot]Do you like Futurama?[/FONT]
I never really got into Futurama; i'm a simpsons purist.
[FONT=&quot]Do you like Family Guy? [/FONT]
It's ok. My ex used to LOVE family guy so I don't really want to watch it all that much now.

Do you buy Little Debbie snacks for yourself?yeah, sometimes

Would you put sprinkles on a frosted cupcake?is there anyother way?

Do you drink pop? Favorite type?Cherry coke, i need to cut back though it gives me cavities

Do you buy sugary sweet cereal? not that much, every once in a while, i'm trying to cut back on sugar

Coffee with or without sugar?with I can't drink black coffee

Do you like chocolate? YES!!!!

Prefer to make cinnamon roles from scratch or use the Pillsbury tube auto-dough? hmmm well i'm trying to make more things from scratch, b/c I'm trying to cut white flour out of my diet, so I'd probably make them from scratch.

If you have 3 Tbsp of peanut butter on a sandwich, how many Tbsp of Strawberry jelly would you add? 3

Do you eat the icing on heavily-iced birthday cakes? It depends. Some icing is gross and too sweet. If it's the good icing I would.
