  • 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.

Getting to know one another better!

I think I did this a while ago, but I will do it again ;) 5, perhaps new, more negative things about me:

1. I am pretty shy in real life, but I am sadly not innocent :(
2. I create the illusion that I am a good student, but was once (about 5 years) suspended from school for fighting.
3. I am currently at Warwick University studying for a politics degree, but the "studying" is all to frequently left out.
4. My metabolism hides my, sadly too frequent, gluttony
5. Around my friends I seem to act as if I am especially knowledgeable but sadly, it is just that my nature tends towards arrogance.

Five things... where to start?

1. I have two beautiful daughters and a great husband... been happily married forever... (24 yrs.)...

2. I love reading poetry and I love reading about history. I also love James Michener and many other good books similar to the style of Michener. Don't tell anyone, but once in awhile... I might even read a "Romance Novel"... but not often... Lately, I have been studying and reading books about Catholicism... trying to increase my knowledge in our faith. I also love the book, "True Devotion To Mary", written by St. Louis DeMonfort. That is one great cool book... It caught me on the first sentence...

3. I love Classical, Blues, Jazz, Oldies, 60's, a little bit of the 70's and a lot of the 80's and 90's music. Actually, I love all music that has heart and soul into it. I do like Super Tramp band and the Guess Who and the Beatles... etc... I love music... And yes... I even have "Monk" Chant music that I like to relax with. Now, one of my secrets... (don't tell anyone... )... I even like country music... too... LOL :)

4. I enjoy the great sense of humor that my fellow Catholics have here on OBOB... It is much better to laugh and be happy than to be sad and yucky...I like my computer too. It's rather a new discovery for me... and now... I'm probably on it too much because things are not getting done, that need to be done... LOL :)

5. I love driving stick in my truck... it gives me the feeling as if I'm racing and going fast... even though... I have never raced or drag raced before... but that does sound fun...to at least watch.

6. I discovered how much I love praying the Rosary and the Novenas...

I hope that I didn't put you all to sleep... LOL :)

God's Peace,

D'Ann

Air Supply is my dirty secret. Lol. My husband makes fun of me incessantly. Big Band music and crooners from the 40s and 50s are my favorite. Gregorian chants are fabulous, and so interesting to learn about from a musical standpoint. Like how they stretched out the ending syllable in Alleluia - Alleluia-a-a-a--a -- it may seem off to the modern listener, but in chant, it's an expression of joy, and had it's own term: the jubilius. I love that word.

Uh oh. :) It's fun though! PC or Mac? I discovered Macs a couple years ago and am hooked. Unfortunately hubby is an PC computer guru -- ideologies clash! :)

Wow that sounds wonderful, how does it work out? I'm not familiar with this part of Monfort... not yet anyway... so much to learn...

I love Air Supply... but don't tell anyone... LOL :) I love Frank Sinatra too and the Glen Miller band too and Bing Cosby and Fred Astraire... and Ginger Rogers... have to give her some credit too... We love the Gregorian chants too. The musc soothes my soul. It's amazing how beautiful this music is and how they arrange the music is sooo awesome and your word "jubilius"... I like that word too.

My husband teases me constantly when I listen to country music or my favorite oldies, but goodies (50 - 60's)... but I just ignore him and sing a long... he teases me for singing off key too... but I don't blame him for that... my singing hurts my ears too.... LOL :)...

My favorite old time actor of all time is Jimmy Stewart too. He was very attractive in a sweet way... goofy, but sweet.



Uh oh. :) It's fun though! PC or Mac? I discovered Macs a couple years ago and am hooked. Unfortunately hubby is an PC computer guru -- ideologies clash! :)

My dad has a MAC... he loves it. We have, I believe a PC computer with Windows... It's probably a good thing that I don't know too much about computers yet because chances are... my dh and I would clash too... what's wrong with a little spice to add into the sugar?... LOL :)


That's so sweet. It is peaceful, isn't it?

Yes... This is fun... I like this... thank you.

God's Peace,

D'Ann

p.s... I love American Idol and this year is especially awesome...

I love my many cats and my Golden Lab... Buttercups... they are my spoiled little babies that think they are human... they sleep all over the place... and I love it...they all are so cute...

Mine does too! What's up with that?? Lol. Then she'll jump over my head back and forth.

1. I have a secret passion for H.P. Lovecraft stories.

2. The sportiest car I have ever owned was a 1972 Buick Gran Sport with a 455. (Blue with a black vinyl top.)

3. I haven't gone hunting since 1978, or fishing since 1975.

4. I like country music, provided it was recorded before 1973.

5. I have climbed two mountains in my life; one in upstate New York, and one in Alaska.

What does H.P. stand for...

The sportiest car I have ever owned was a coldbalt blue Camara 1989... I still have it in my garage... don't drive it much now... LOL :)

I've never been hunting... last time fishing was probably 1994 or so...

I've climbed many mountains... not the physical ones... the heart ones...LOL :)

D'Ann

P.S...

I love Johnny Cash and Tammy Wynette and Patsy Cline... and William Hanks, Lorretta Lynn and lots of other old Country Music... it is one of my favorite kinds of music.

Darn straight you do. After all, she did everything Fred did---except she did it backwards and in high heels.

Howard Phillips. :)
