• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Usually eat leftovers, but I believe historically it was a time to take extra gifts to the poor. At least that is what my grandma told me. We were snowed in again. :) Hubby is working of the rennovation and I have been reviving my interest in knitting. I have forgotten so much. I actually do much better with a 'mentor' Jan

This is even-more difficult yesterday and this morning

I have contacted a moderator for-assistance a short while ago
on account of my being signed-out, every few minutes

my connection to the internet is 'sound'

:wave:

dave



EDIT:

Also, whilst signed-in... I will click to open another thread/ message
and find myself signed-out.... upon arrival
needing to sign-in several times....
repeat requests to sign in occur too...after uploading username and password
the page will revert to a sign in request form

dave






I have-to announce that this problem has returned with a vengeance
that, this problem exists only on this site
and that two 'other' vbulletin boards, function without a problem

The only email attachment I have opened
was a powerpoint presentation received today, from a brother here
so I am inclined to believe
that there is something awry with my account/permissions 'here' in CF

Good afternoon. We are having a lot of rain and wind here today. Temps are 53.
The rains have come here as well but temps only slightly higher so it is likely freezing at higher elevations. At least some of the massive dump of snow is being cleared away. Much as I love the stuff it doesn hamper travel with us westcoasters without snow tires etc. Jan

Me too Sis' Jan

In Him I can do anything

:wave:

I found I had trouble with Avast FREE Home version
now redundant because of the Comodo utilities I am now trying-out

It refused to be uninstalled via ADD /REMOVE PROGRAMS
so I had to visit their support site
trawling forums concerning 'avast problems'
NOTE: there were certainly ENOUGH of them listed [?]
and I was, able to download a removal tool..... done!!

We will now see, how, this proceeds to affect my PC

I could, always sign-in from Mary's PC.... if-stretched


your Bro'

just checking in. We finally made it to church today. We were snowed in over Christmas so our service was cancelled. We did our play and although not as sweet an ambience as a candle light service would have been, it went well and folks seemed to be blessed by it. I am going to enjoy my nap this afternoon knowing I am free from the pressure of remembering my lines. I love a bit of acting but could never do it as a living. :)

So glad your are no longer snowed in gratefulgrace. I'm sure your Christmas play was great even if it wasn't at candle light. I hope the new year will bring peace, joy, and love to you and your family.

This may be a dumb question but how do I get it into paint?

'Seasy enough


grab a winter scene and take it into paint

click EDIT and then, SELECT ALL
right-click the pic [to store a copy on your clipboard]
[in case you mess-up and need to start again ]


grab the bottom right of the image
and drag it upwards and to the left
to make the image a 'square' of approx' 2" x 2"
click on IMAGE and then ATTRIBUTES
to 'check' size is about 250 x 250 pixels

SAVE AS 'background'

next
grab a good image of your doll
and using the flexible selector tool cut out your doll
from whatever it's present-background is
click on the bottommost tool icon in Paint [left pane]

and SAVE AS 'avatar doll'

In Paint
Click FILE
and OPEN 'background' from files listed bottom of left pane

open another Paint window

Click FILE and OPEN 'avatar doll'
[AGAIN from the files listed at the bottom of the Paint window]
right click the doll select COPY
and then minimise this paint window
click EDIT on the Paint window below and select PASTE
or right-click the background image and select PASTE

the avatar doll will appear on top of the background
and occupy the TOP RIGHT of the window
left-click the doll and drag it down the background
UNTIL the feet arrive where you want it to stand
next
grab the top left or right corners of the doll holder frame
and drag it diagonally to the opposite bottom corner
UNTIL the doll reaches required size [?]

This, may need some practice.....

If, you need help with it

please post BOTH images and I will deliver an example

:wave:

I would like to take this-opportunity to thank you so much
for sharing this past year with me
As this new year, has already begun
let us live it with the spirit of the christ within us all
let us, each and every one, of us FLOURISH and give praise
to Him, whom blesses us, so-abundantly
and so-often in ways that we, were not paying attention to

Peace be with us all
in the name of, our saviour
the Lord, Jesus Christ
who, came to save us

I am off to bed now :wave:
