• 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.

fellowshipping with Dawn and David (3)

Who I Am

Sitting in a classroom
frustrated, confused, annoyed;
I am alone, flawed, different.
Call the doctor: questions, testing.
I'm not flawed, I'm learning disabled.
I'm not alone; there are others
I am different, for I see the world
with a new perspective.​

You know you have ADD when...you've been working at the same job, at the same office for 2 years. You know you have be at work at 9:00am. You also know that it takes you exactly one hour to get ready in the morning and one hour to take the train to work. So you set your two (of course!) alarm clocks to 6:30am. You slap the snooze bar for 40 minutes, rush to get ready and leave the house at 8:10. You arrive at 9:10 (again) and get chewed out for being late. Repeat until fired. Bonus round: spend hours thinking up creative euphemisms for your resume to replace "constantly late" as the reason for leaving a position. (American ADD in Tokyo)

You know you have ADD when...you buy identical, cheap pens in bulk lots of 50 and scatter them on every level surface in your home so you can find something to write with when you need it. This leads to writing notes and messages on every paper or paper-like substance around (receipts, old pizza boxes, napkins, grocery receipts, unopened mail, flyers, old newspapers, magazine subscription cards, etc.) Naturally these items now contain vital information and can never be thrown away. So they are incorporated into your Dynamic Pile Management System (Pat. Pend. - when I get around to filing for it, oh, never mind...) (American ADD in Tokyo)


You know you have ADD when...you find an old, wrinkled post it behind your desk with a friend's phone number on it. You realize you haven't spoken to him in about 6 months and call him up. You have a great chat and get caught up on everything. You're so happy to talk to him again, you suggest getting together soon. Fifteen minutes after hanging up, forget all about it get caught up in something else. Find the same slip on your desk about 6 months later and call him up again. Repeat with nearly everyone for years. Then spend most of your free time alone wondering "why don't I have any good friends"? (American ADD in Tokyo)

You know you have ADD when...you're one step away from financial disaster because for you, there is no "tomorrow" when you want something but when you get it, the thrill is immediately gone.


You know you have ADD when...you're only motivated right before bedtime and make great plans to finally get organized "tomorrow" only to wake up and decide that it's just too much work!

You know you have ADD when...you take hours to fall asleep at night because your brain won't SHUT UP

You know you have ADD when... your condition is diagnosed as <«>ADD without Hyperactivity,<»> and you find yourself envying the ADHD crowd because they move faster-than-light when they hyperfocus, while you're stuck on impulse power.

You know you have ADD when...you have a dozen bookmarks (for actual books) and end up using bus transfers and bits of paper instead.

I don't give good advice, but I do have good organizational skills at times; I am such a dichotomy about it. When I clean the apt. once a week thoroughly, I will go through most of the piles. There are a couple of piles that sit longer because of the need to look at them again every so often, but for the most part, I can do it, because this apt. is only so big.
I think my sons' dad has that problem big time at his house, but I would have never thought of it as ADD, because he would criticize me for my lack of attention all the time, and I used to keep it neat compared to now!!!
