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.

Good afternoon everyone.
It is sunny here today. Still a little cool, but the sun is out and that is a nice thing.
I hope you have a good weekend.
God Bless

Trying to do the right thing.
Hi folks! Anyone need a day brightener?
My job requires that I pass on insurance policies to underwriters, stating certain facts about the policy holders (PI's) and the person who gave that particular information. Yesterday I had a policy where, unfortunately the insured had passed away, and his nephew from Mexico had answered the questions. So duly noted on the bottom of the policy was the following:
"PI deceased. Spoke w/Jesus."

We got BARNEY from Manchester Dog's Home on March 16th
He was in a pen [there] with two Staffordshire Bull Terriers
He was [so the paperwork said] 5 years old, but
He had puppy like behaviour and commands like sit and, lie down
simply meant-nothing to him for about a week
He was very thin, [his ribs showed through]
He was very-quiet
this, because, [we now believe] the dominance of the other two dogs there
We, [Mary and I] fell in love with him
He cost £65 [immediately] for the privilege of adopting
EVERYTHING is MONEY [there]
ais: He was very PUPPY-LIKE and responded to all 'affectionately'
He was possessive of the cuddly toys
that 'Rolo' had accumulated
ALTHOUGH!!! we gave him, 'his-own'
He would also, steal from Rolo's food dish,
after, eating his own
Rolo, would complain with a growl
and Barney, would react
with extremely aggressive behaviour
Within a couple of, days, of, Barney's arrival here
I had taken 'bites' to my right hand and arm
separating them
We, had HOPED, they would settle together
because Barney had, just that ONE FAULT
The other evening [Friday] Mary's son, Denis
called to visit his Mum [us]
and Barney ran to the front door to greet-him
Rolo too, then wanted to say 'hello' to Denis
But! Barney was having NONE of that
and wanted Denis's affection to himself
He pinned Rolo to the floor, biting him behind the ear
and on his neck
Rolo, screamed in agony as I grabbed Barney's tail and collar
Denis, rushed to my aid and prised Rolo from Barneys mouth
Mary and I, were then CONVINCED
that we should not leave Rolo VULNERABLE to such punishment
and we returned him the very next afternoon
'Joyce' took us there in her car
We bought her a nice bunch of flowers, by way of thank you
because, she would-not accept fuel money from us
Yes, we had been reluctant to take such a step
'endeavoured' to communicate with Barney
that we did not wish for him to behave in that way
but, two weeks of, unrelenting 'watching' for, trouble
and driving Barney off to his, own space
Was neither, fair on Rolo or, ourselves
The Adoption Fee is non-returnable
We are in no-hurry
to try another, while Rolo is still with us
ais: That, was Barney's only fault.... historically induced
He, would have made a wonderful 'ONLY DOG'
Perhaps, and I hope, that the VERY DETAILED REPORT
I wrote out [reason for return]
WILL MEAN, that he, will be adopted
as an only-dog. He deserves 'his chance'

Wow, Dave!! It is so commendable that you're trying to take in a homeless pet!! Sometimes, though, it takes a while to get just the right pet to come into a home where there is another dog. Our little BB is a very dominating dog and does not at all take kindly to other animals coming into the home. If they let her be the "head doggie" then everything is fine, but otherwise she becomes quite snippy. Fortunately she only weighs 8 pounds, so I can handle her very easily. If she were a big dog, we'd have big problems.

Hi all, I'm so glad the CF site is up and running and hopefully all the glitches are gone.
Dave, I'm so sorry things did not work out with Barney.

Good morning friends!
Bright and clear day in NYC. Will be out for errands in a little bit.
Had the great treat of seeing a wonderful production yesterday of "South Pacific." Wish my GE friends could have been with me.
Dave, so sorry about Barney. Hope he finds a home soon to be a happy only-dog.
Grace, glad to see you back posting!

Hi everyone
Just looking in briefly to see how you all are?
I have been rather busy of late and we have also had a house guest to stay.
We have had a bit of a battle with our NHS as Rob decided he wanted a second opinion regarding his brain tumour and we were told he couldn't have one (second opinion that is - he is on his second brain tumour).
Anyway, we now have to pay for a private consultation,about 3-4 hours drive away, but it will be worth it for our peace of mind. We are fairly sure that the tumour is growing as Rob is getting increased symptoms - his speech is now affected. I will look in when I can.
Blessings to you all
