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.
Do you feel old?

Hi everyone!
As others have said here, first thing in the morning and last thing at night I feel old but more in the physical sense. I have an achilles injury which produces a lump after being on my feet all day. Hours of work (5am get up and not completing work related tasks until close to 9.30pm) means that some days I am physically and mentally tired. Hence not being on CF as often as I use to. Sometimes I limp like the war wounded.
I've found that I feel beyond exhausted more times than not now and yet my mind is alert. But I still like playing with my son and winding up my teenage daughter.

I just turned 43 last weekend. There's days I feel better than others. I work 12 hour days also and am on my feet all day. That really does a number on a person and often I'm worn out even on days off.
Mentally, I've more an more lately began to consider that I most likely have far fewer years ahead of me and behind me. Guess it is what it is.

My youngest son got on a kick for asking me about "back then" So I started watching older movies and TV series with him to show him what is was like in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. He realized it wasn't as different from now as he thought.

ya, technology has changed a lot, but we still drive cars, go to school, walk, watch TV, love God or not, feel good and bad about things. So its all about what we are looking at.

My next door neighbour and myself were having a chat about the fact that her grandmother recalled both our properties getting damaged by a German bomb during WW2 (roofs got blown off due to the house across the road getting hit).
So when my daughter came home from school I told her about it excitedly.
With her head stuck in her 3DS, she cheekily asked me whether I was scared when the bombs fell.
She's either getting very ninja-like or else I am getting older because she was able to dodge me chasing her up stairs.

I'm 33, and people do tend to believe I'm old and a lot more experience than my age testifies to. But I'm not old. Since I'll never have a family anyways, I have a long life still ahead of me, and old is really about one's time left more than how long one has been around.

I am reviving this old thread as there is no where for me to put this observation of myself which made me just laugh out loud, but which I judged as typical of how my mind works now.
I was cruising through the latest threads on the forums tab which have been responded to in each section (as you do), when I saw a thread called "Thoughts on weed?".
Thank the Lord I didn't go through with clicking on it to immediately put a response about the fact that I am finding them more of a battle in my flower beds now but I reckon it was down to the milder summer we had in the UK. Something instead told me to pay careful attention to where the thread was located before responding...
It just tickled my funny bone that I was innocently going to say that
