  • 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

:wave: I'm having a bit of trouble finding my way around, but I just give it a little while every morning. It took me 3 days to figure out how to get my character enabled, so I'm finally looking around the place a little more. Hugs and prayers for all the Eagles. :groupray:


Congratulations you look georgeous

As you have already heard [?]
I had been 'struggling' somewhat, with my ball-mouse
as I endeavoured
to excise Character Images from, their backgrounds
during The Eagles Victorian Dress-Up Contest [?]

My Mary, then, bought me a much more 'accurate' optical mouse

On the second day of having it in my possession
and with it 'connected' to my PC
Mary had-cause, to engage me in conversation

Whilst my attention was thus distracted [?]
Teddy, pulled the cable from the PC
and within a matter of moments
he had chewed-off, the usb connector plug

Bummer! I like wireless mice.



LOL Bro' MN John really ???

Wired Mice... utilize the PC as a power resource
Wireless Mice.... on the other hand
they, require to be stuffed with batteries periodically
and this can result in downtime if replacements are not available

As explained.... for very little effort from me
Teddy's punishment of, it has been reversed
and any potential loss, that he [Teddy]
may have caused, has been adequately eliminated


Thank the Lord both for His mercy
and all those things that He, has enabled me to learn
that I could so-easily OVERCOME... such trials

:wave: Good morning, everyone. Good job on repairing your mouse plug, Dave. I too prefer an optical mouse. I've been using one for a couple/years and only had to replace the battery once. They move faster and I have fewer wires hanging around :) . Prayers and :hug::hug: to all the Eagles.

Subject: FW: The Grocery list





A minute read.......


Read this story
and
Follow
the recommendation
at
The end...


As I was walking
Down life's highway
Many years ago

I came upon a
Sign that read

Heavens Grocery Store.


When I got a
Little closer

The doors swung
Open wide

And when I came
To myself

I was standing
Inside.


I saw a host of
Angels.

They were
Standing everywhere

One handed me a
Basket

And said
'My Child
shop with care.'

Everything a
Human needed
Was in that
Grocery store
And what you
Could not carry
You could come
Back for more


First I got some
Patience.
Love was in that
Same row.
Further down was
Understanding,
You need that
Everywhere you go.


I got a box or
Two of Wisdom
And Faith a bag
Or two.
And Charity of
Course
I would need some
Of that too.


I couldn't miss
The Holy Ghost
It was all over
The place.
And then some
Strength
And Courage
to
Help me run this race.



My basket was
Getting full
But I remembered
I needed Grace,
And then I chose
Salvation for
Salvation was for
Free
I tried to get
Enough of that to do
For you and me.


Then I started to
The counter
To pay my grocery
Bill,
For I thought I
Had everything
To do the Masters
Will.


As I went up the
Aisle
I saw Prayer and
Put that in,
For I knew when I
Stepped outside
I would run into
Sin.

Peace and Joy
Were plentiful,
The last things
On the shelf.
Song and Praise
Were hanging near
So I just helped
Myself.


Then I said to
The angel

'Now how much do
I owe?'

He smiled and
Said

'Just take them
Everywhere you go.'
Again I asked
'Really now,
How much do I
Owe?'

'My child' he
Said,
'God paid your bill
A long long time
Ago.'



This poem has
Been sent to you
With love and for
Blessings.

It originated in
The Netherlands
And has been
Around the world 9 times.

The blessing has now
Come to you and
You will receive
Showers of blessings
in the mail
Within six days
Of receiving this letter
Providing you
Sent it out to someone else.
Do not send money
As this message
Has no price.
Do Not keep this letter

But send it on to
Someone who

Needs blessings.

Send 5 copies
within 9
Minutes
of

Reading this
and see what
Happens
!!!!!!!

Have A Great Day

------------


Thank you Darlene

Dear Grace,

Just get in the catalogue and buy another one of everything for your guy.
Start adding same as you added the first character. It is possible to drag n drop with a good quality mouse....not one the dog chewed on LOL, till you get all items just exactly positioned. Be patient. Sometimes they diappear behind the background. Dont panic...use the layer down button for the backbround to layer down behind the characters until all items are back on top.

One more thing.The hair for the guys is not the coolest selection. Hope you go for it....its fun. Keep trying and all of a sudden it sinks in.

LOL! Yeah, Springrain & I seemed to both have quite a time getting the proper "hairdo" for our respective dh's!:D I think mine had 3 different "hair-dos" before I settled on his current one...and that one's not perfect. (It's a reasonable facsimilie but needs more "silver/grey" in it!)
