  • 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

Thanks Bonnie

A few notes in-report

Over 48+ years I have been a smoker
I still have lungs - it's the veins that have probs

When I started at eleven years of age Childhood Bronchitis
was chased out the back door

As I now attempt
to to remove tobacco from my daily life
the coughing returns as night closes in
and also in the early mornings as I rise

It isnt good for me I KNOW!

thank you for your support

Dave,
Wow! What a great thing for you to do for yourself and your loved ones! How are you going about this? Will-power? Prayer? I'm praying for you! Cindy
[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[

Thank you Cindy

when youre down the 'wrong path' you know it ?

Mary is asthmatic
and to give us both best chance
it's best I didnt SMOKE

you just have to turn back when the light comes on

it isn't easy because I feel it tugging at me all over

For the harm I do myself and others around me also
I pray that I will escape Satan's clutches this-time
IT ISN'T going to kill me to win

It is gonna FEEL like it ..though (for a while) I KNOW!

hi ho hi ho it's off to war I go
I'd like 50 years without a 'drag' (with a letter that comes after e) hi ho hi ho

When a thing has gotta go (?) get it gone !

;) many thanks for your prayers
I have managed to get rid of a lifelong nail-biting habit
THESE THINGS can BE DONE!

Thanks to you Migs wherever you are be well

my nose samples the air after a storm
clean ozone my Lord has been here
the water has entered the soil (elsewhere called a system)
the roots of plants take it up and passes it on (in transpiration)
we breathe of the air, consume from the land
and drink of its gathered-in waters

we observe of the living in growing plants around
(that maybe communicate in different languages for) they make not a sound to our ears
and when in sorrow or joyfulness we are found
the water we exude as tears
do then copiously and efflusively abound
Tony Bro! It is good to know
you able to see the other side of the coin
are able somehow with Peace to enjoin

I pray that relief will come to stay with you and Barb
this-day and that you be given time to take-in OTHER THINGS and see changes in your life this-way

cheers Tony all my best to Barb also

I am truly sorry for letting myself down today

Whilst before I had it
my feelings had been sort-of greedy with hunger

afterwards I could question myself
as to the worth I had attached to possession
and the smoking of a ciggy
It wasnt worth punishing myself so much to get one
I had no REAL NEED for it
am looking for the rest of my patches
and will buy again tomorrow


Start again :(
Day One is complete at lunchtime tomorrow
maybe am more-strongly determined to stop

the increase in coughing is just your lungs mini brooms waking up and doing their job of cleaning and ridding your lungs of unneeded mucous. It is almost like having a cold but should lift in a couple of weeks. Jan
thank you for your wisdom Jan
It is maybe just as you have said

For I have felt like its being ejected (rejected/expelled)
just-yesterday!

back on track now I hope

yes of-course Cindy
I will treat it just as folks
would rest their alarm-clocks after retirement
no-longer needed (?)
well those ciggies are history

the future is yet to be revealed
but I now have faith that I have one to live for

I am so grateful for your encouragement
and actions are so much better than words

CURRENTLY ACTIVE USERS

oh well ! It is how.... 'words' are-spread

how.... minds, are shared and compared

and MEANINGS 'read'
and CONSIDERED
perhaps
as was suggested
a 'personality' is writing on here
quite whom that it might be
I am not really certain
but of observers (paparazzi?)
there are always plenty for-sure !!

LOL
am reminded: "all the world is but a stage......"

;)
dave


curioser I arrive here 'this evening'
and there are 13 ACTIVE USERS

13 (members 1 guests 12)

yea! but the numbers
they do swell and ebb
May be the PM Club is busier-tonight
their handles out of sight


¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

I have a number of things
until-tommorrow my sunshine brings
to do, if I am to be 'on top of things
(iow: 'ready' )
To make her-stay... both, comfortable and pleasant
and, just so very happy as-in
courteous and 'cool' :cool: humerous and funny
highly-transferable-honey
AND SUNDAY is to be bright and sunny all-day

A friend of Mary's in Alabama
suggested to Mary that she get me
to show her around some of Bristols 'sights'
and to take photographs of us whilst there
some memories we then take with us when
I relocate

yes of-course I will post piccies
subject to the Editor's discretion
yes! I will always ask FIRST

Suggestion's are
Bristol Suspension Bridge
The Avon Gorge
Bristol Zoo Facade ... Entry costs £10 each now!
Bristol Downs (several views) Cabot Tower
The Victoria Rooms and fountains
Bristol Museum and Art Galleries
Bristol Cathedral
The Old Council House on College Green lawns (workers lunchtable)
Views of Bristol's Docksides and Quays
Bristol Centre's Fountains and
remodeled New Look 'pedestrianised bus-terminus'

Every Bus is an 'Ad ' or-several !

waiting for your's there isn't one
it's been over an hour

on another route, you see there is three
'back to back' ooooh

Now then!
were the first two very late
or, the guys behind (the first) too-fly

Why when it's raining there is no bus in sight
but
as soon as a bus arrives
full of freshly dampened coats and tee shirts

the sun rises high in clear blue skies
and steams the entire bus out

oh yeh them talent spotters will miss me
am having my hair cut somewhat
outlook: 'presently indeterminate'
depends on
barber /customer understanding
If, he remembers you ever giving him a tip
along with the £11 charge 'fleeced!'
but property rental /leasing costs more than ever before " Suites or whole floors
Underground parking assigned to occupiers

I have some sheep shearing scissors
and if I hold my ears down
I maybe wont lose them
[in an effort to save a few bob]
perhaps one of the lads might chance to come-bye
and straighten the back up for-me

It's now just over 14 hour's to Mary's arrival
^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ :kiss: :hug: :D :D :clap: :clap: :yum: :yum: :) :) ;)

and counting...... ...... ...... ...... ...... ...

Well, I stopped in to say Hi and looks like everyone went to sleep.....Darn!!

LOL
Poor ole Blueguy
This ain't yer actual
INSTANT MESSENGER pal!

Your presence
takes a mite to sink-in
:D:) :p :wave: :thumbsup: :clap: ^_^

I guess
you just havent been on same forum
as me

Cast you eyes around
I am all-over
Your use of PM
usually
attracts more prompt
and indubitably
more personal
attention
angels do abound here

To this!
I can attest
It is really quite unfair of you
to suggest
we are ALL at-rest

No matter you are forgiven
Welcome back to The Nest
It wont be so-very long
before you receive
a welcome
from
the rest (others) :D
brought to you this lovely Saturday Morning
from the desktop of davedajobauk here in Bristol UK

I wanted to tell you what God did yesterday. My daughter and her familly were in a collision in their little compact car--T-boned by an SUV traveling 70 mph, the police estimate. My daughter was in the passenger seat of the side that got hit, the four-year old in a booster seat behind her, and the baby and two-year old in car seats in back.

My daughter was injured and is in the hospital with broken ribs, a fractured pelvis, a somewhat collapsed lung and slightly lacerated liver. In spite of her injuries, she did not need surgery. Her husband is bruised but otherwise okay. The babies are fine, the four-year old lost a couple of baby teeth.

But they should have been killed, all of them. How can you get hit like that and come out with so little injury?

I believe God intervened.

I haven't been able to sleep much. I'm going up to the hospital this morning during ICU visiting hours.

If the Lord puts her on your heart, please pray for her and her family. Her husband is really shaken up.

Pray the Lord He protected your dear family! I'm so sorry that your daughter suffered the worst of it but as a mom I'm sure she is very glad it was her and not one of her babies. I rejoice with you Ariel that the Lord spared their lives. Every time they come to mind, I shall pray for them. Please keep us posted!
