  • 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

Hey folks, here's the latest photo of Tanner, my new grandson, as I showed him off in the village Friday.

Cheers,

Rev. Dr. Grandpa

Hi Jim

by way of, explanation

On my way to CF
I experienced a great many DOS attacks
[Denial Of Service]
where, my then, 'vulnerable' SETTINGS
enabled a 'friend' to 'upload' some scripts
to my browser which permitted him/ her
to ALTER MY SETTINGS
and effectively DENY ME INTERNET ACCESS
including, the destruction of three IDE Drives
by overwriting the 'zero-sectors'

I have learned... to keep friends 'close'
and....
to learn from the abilities/ capablities of,
those-others...
of, less-friendly persuasion/ intent

I AM, happy that anti-virus/ firewall
will defend my system straightaway
however, it will take some while longer
to turn off the numerous 'warning pop-ups'
now, being experienced...
as a result, of, my having requested to be-informed
of any and all 'risks'
as and when they are detected/ occur

I acknowledge, that "Simple, is Easiest"
however,
Faith.... is confirmed with experience
and I am unable, to build my foundations upon sand
nor, afford
to-replace extensive investment in both
processor speed and external memory
for me, internet access,
is a career aspiration and not, JUST a hobby/ pastime

X the letter of unknown quantity; Spurt, a drip under pressure. Hence, an expert, an unknown drip under pressure. I always got a chuckle out of that wacky definition.

When the computer becomes more of a headache than a pleasure, that is the day I will go back to typing letters and using the postal services.

Cheers,

Jim

Oh, I stick to the KISS principle; keep it simple, stupid!

I want to pay tribute to one of the greatest singers of this or any generation, who died early this morning from pancreatic cancer; Luciano Pavarotti.

I cherish the memory of his singing in many genres. He was at home singing with his colleagues and he was at home singing with Bryan Adams. What a vocal genius.

Cheers, and thank you, Senor,

Jim
A magnificent voice is silenced forever...how sad. I saw him live in St.Louis some 20 years ago. Awe inspiring.

We are finally getting our summer here. It is even not so cold in the evenings although around 9 a bit chilly without a sweater. Of course I am back to work all day but at least some of the time I am outside with my student enjoying PE class in the sunshine. Cheers and have a great day. Jan
