• 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.

It's also led to a serious drinking problem...

(well, maybe not "serious"...)

As it happens I am teetotal. Not on principle; It is just more pleasing to my taste buds to have my noxious chemical retain the formula C12H22O11.

Leonardo da Vinci's drawing, known as Vitruvian Man, was his depiction of supposedly ideal human proportions, and their relation to geometric forms. It was based on the work of a Roman architect, Vitruvius. To me, it symbolizes how reason, objectivity, and analytical thinking--all qualities that Leonardo embodied--are the best means of understanding the world, and ourselves.

Well, it's better than Tom Hank's explanation in A League of Their Own.

Walter Harvey: Let me be blunt. Are you still a fall-down drunk?
Jimmy Dugan: Well, that is blunt. Ahem. No sir, I've, uh, quit drinking.
Walter Harvey: You've seen the error of your ways.
Jimmy Dugan: No, I just can't afford it.

Mine comes from the opening screen of photoshop - a program I use quite often for work, just thought it looked cool.

My mum is a photographer, and she uses Photoshop a lot too. She's taught me a few things. It's a lot of fun playing with it!

Yea, it's a super powerful program! I mostly use it for digital design.

My mum's a photographer, she sometimes gets me to do some minor retouching. Thankfully, she's a big stickler for honesty, so she hasn't made me learn how to do major edits. I just do things like raw conversions and some colour/exposure stuff. She prefers to be out taking the photos.
