  • 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 for asking Ariel dear sister
Hope youre sharing this 'well-being' that I am enjoying

I am a very happy and cheerful young man 'again'

'shopping' is rough on the old ankles
but when I can then 'take the weight off'
I can see/acknowledge all
the many-ways in which I am and have-been
so wonderfully blessed
I have been feeling so much better lately
the remission in symptoms is a real blessing
Prasie The Lord
I'm doing just-great thank you !

I have the breast clinic appointment Thursday
then the council investigator on Friday
after-which I am hoping
to escape to Mary's until Monday
so, I hope
that its a mid-morning appointment here

It's a five and a half hour journey
with a short break of anything
from 15 minutes to an hour (around half-way)

Phew! The onboard ablutions need bringing up to date
I CAN make-it __between stops LOL

Is this not the best time of my life ? :D

be well

dave

Yup, Jim is right. We're going to the birds, all right. And I love it. Dave, you're so funny. There I was looking for another bird and you gave us a bird--a helicopter bird! :)

Thank you so much. I have heard about magpies, but I had never seen a picture. What an interesting bird. And that wood pigeon looks like kin to my doves, doesn't it? And Max is so cute. He looks like he's got lots of personality, too!

I'm so glad you're feeling better, Dave. Yes, days when you can enjoy the sweet are such good days. May the Lord bless you and give you many more such days!

Jim, you've got such a great sense of humor, I love talking to you. It's interesting that the Brits like pigeons so much. Here at the Texas campus my husband works at, they released peregrine falcons to take out the overwhelming pigeon population. That ploy seems to have worked--at least it's safer to stand outside now, not quite so many unexpected offerings on one's head!

Have a good day, everyone!

Yesterday afternoon while sitting at the computer watching a documenatry and looking out on my back lawn I saw a beautiful Robin hop very near about 6 feet away into the soft earth of my Rhododendron bush to look for dinner. He was there a long time and every so often would look up just like he was watching me. Cute. Do birds People Watch? Jan

Hello Vkl53, Welcome to the chat zone. Sometimes like the twilight zone, but most of us will do our best to cheer you on. I don't who this Jim bloke is, but when I find him, I'll put him straight.

Just post what comes to mind,,wait, maybe wait for second thought, then sit back and wait, and someone will chirp up and have a go.

Cheers, and God bless,

Jim who?

There is a telly advert showing a bloke running into a closed double glass door..he smashes it.......two birds sitting in a tree outdoors start laughing their heads off............maybe more truth than fiction.

Maybe they do and we just don't give a tweet!

Cheers,

Jim

Ah Jim! Yup, that's just about it. Birds laughing wildly at us!

Hello, vkl53, and welcome!

We just enjoy each other's company. Yes, Jim is great! He makes me laugh!

And I like Dave's posts, too. That whirly bird was funny.

There's Jan, who has so much wisdom, and Claire, who loves birds, too! and Bonnie and Spring, and Bubbi, and many more. So many great people here.

This is just a chat thread. Sort of like going out and seeing friends and just chatting with them for a while.

Have a great day!

Hello
to
Vikl53

Welcome!
to this CHIT CHAT THREAD and also to the GE Nest​

This is the Nest's Garden Fence (it's a low fence)​

The 'time of day' is passed-around here​

The same rules as everywhere else in CF
BUT in-general
'anything-goes here'​
even 'hello'​

As you have noticed (I assume)
the forums below (are, meant-to)
proceed
IN-TOPIC (?)
as-in usually /even 'sometimes'


oft-times Chit Chat might even resemble
a bulletin board with 'notes' posted (back and forth)
Rants or, PADDIES (stamps feet an scweammzzzz) smile or cry just bring it on by

Let us all see
just how very much alike we are

'second thoughts' ha haha ha


So who is this Jim bloke anyway? LOL
