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.

The can is at room temperature, so not chilled, and she doesn't have it constantly on her eye. She also uses an eyebag.

Anyway, how are you yourself? Did you get sorted out with new accommodation?

A dull wet day here. We had one brief fall of snow and my son texted me from work about 4 miles away to say there had been hailstones in that area.

I'm getting the squiggly red error line constantly, so I'm going to finish there as it is getting on my nerves.

Nah, It is almost a month ~since last I heard from them

I have heard, that a neighbour became irate with them on the phone
(on my behalf) and that a group of neighbours, are going around the neighbourhood
gaining signatures from other residents >> in protest
at my being required to downsize / to have-to leave, this 'community'


Awwww how sweet is that :D

We, have had frozen rain showers on several days and early-morning frosts too

Perhaps it is that you have SPELLCHECKER switched-on
It, finds fault with everything NON AMERICAN, no offence intended

Sounds like you have some very nice neighbours. It is clear to see that they regard you as part of their community.

Frozen rain showers are not nice things. We're getting some better weather now, but still getting rain. Definitely not the weather for casting a clout just yet.

It is not the spell checker. Every word is underlined plus the spaces in between. Besides that, I set my spell checker to UK English and add any words it doesn't recognise

casting a 'clout' _being a 'clod' ~ a lump of mud / soil, removed by spade


'digging the soil' (weather: too wet)

Actually, here 'clout' means an item of clothing and 'May' refers to May blossom, otherwise known as hawthorne blossom. Definitely clout-casting weather now. We've had temperatures in the high 20sC.

My wife and I are getting ready to move to a smaller home in a retirement type addition close to my daughter and her family. We'll be close to everything we need, including our doctors. This was my daughter's idea, and we like it.

I've been gone from Christian Forums for a long time and I've missed you. Hello everyone. My wife and I both have health problems, but I hope to be more active here again.

Thanks for the welcome backs. It's nice to be back. It appears that there are new things on the forum, including maybe the forum software. Everyone have a nice day.

Love In Christ

Hello Brother Dave,

Thanks for confirming the change of forum software. I thought many things were different. I'm still trying to catch up and do some reading. Other than the photo links, do most like the new forum software?

Our air conditioning stopped working earlier today, and it's an older unit. We finally got someone to do a Saturday service call and we were pleasantly surprised with a bill of less than $200. One of the pipes that drains water was clogged. Wow! - what a relief. We thought our old unit had given up on us completely. Thank you Lord.

That's great, Tom. Looks like your old unit has a bit of life left in her yet!

Hubby's away for the weekend at a target rifle shooting contest. When he gets back, he and I wil be travelling to Belfast for a medical conference. There's a schedule of trips for those accompanying the delegates, so I shouldn't be bored. Tomorrow my youngest and I are going on our church outing - picnic lunch and games at the beach, free afternoon and dinner in a local hotel.

A lot of people here are very excited about the Northern Ireland football team winning against the Ukraine in the European Football Championships in Paris.

Enjoy your weekend, whatever you're doing!

Our move to the retirement community might be getting closer than we thought. We signed papers yesterday, and God appears to be working things out for us. We'll have to sell or donate many things that simply won't fit in the new place (i.e. furniture, books, and items we don't really need). It's going to be a lot of work, and we'll be happy to finish the move. It's really quite an adventure, and there are still quite a few unknowns.
