  • 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

I am feeling a bit lonely today.
I hope your day is good so far.

Same I'm waiting for my wife to get home. Quite lonely.

Other than that my day has been OK so far. No unwanted naps from my psych meds. So yay praise Jesus (for real)!

When God says "walk away" ...do not let your ego get in the way...

Oh. Yeah I can see how that would be bad. God always knows more than we do.

Yeah maybe that REALLY sounds like a good idea. What do you do for a living if you don't mind me asking? My mother became a nurse in the 1970s. She retired 2-3 years ago? Have you ever thought about retirement? Sorry for so many personal questions I'm curious.
Putting off retirement for as long as I can. I'm an electrician by trade, and do a few other odd things for income, but I don't need much. (I pay no rent or utilities or property taxes.) I call myself semi-retired, because I only do as much as I need to, to get by, and spend more time helping others with what they can't do, than I do making money. I love being my own boss. (That sounds more noble than the reality, which is that I am no businessman, and my mind is, uhm, "unpredictable", which translates to, "undependable". For example, I can have a list of things to do, and when the main object is complete and I am satisfied, and even if I reference the list, the other lines on the list may go unseen even though I am looking right at them. This happens at the grocery store too!)

Oh my mom retired the moment she turned 62. They overwork nurses way too much these days and it was the case even in the 1970s. There's always been shortages of doctors and nurses. WheneverI get a doctor i'm comfortable with here they always either retire or move elsewhere.. what you do is very interesting too. It shocked me that you wanted to hold off retirement you must really love your job. If I was in my 60s I'd be retiring too the very second I could But I don't work at all (I'm disabled). Puts a lot of stress on me when I have to stretch what money I do get super far. What makes it worse is the government only allows you to save so much money. So a lot of times I have to turn to the bank of mom to help me out. Makes me never want kids lol.
