  • 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

Lolita. Yeah, I know it is controversial but that is why I want to read it, also Nabakov seemed like an interesting man (from this bbc documentary I watched). I want to see what the fuss was about.

Well it is supposed to be a classic I guess! I'd like to know what you think of it when you're done :)

When I get round to finishing it I will tell you, but right now I am reading Little Women and Chemistry books!

Haha together?!? :p

I am sure we had a copy of Little Women, I think a whole box of books got lost when we moved one time and that was one of them :( Have you read the other 3? I love the film of LW so much too! I got about 6 books for Christmas, then I bought 2 more :doh: and I have library books too! Oh dear lol.

Nope, have not read the other 3! Oh and according to my uni library I rented out some books and haven't returned them, now I have a fine and I cannot remember where I put the books :(

I hate that! Once one disappeared under my bed and I found it months later :blush: And another time when we were moving house in like 2001` we found a library book that was due back sometime in 1992 :D My dad was like 'shall we tell them? how big will the fine be??' ^_^

I met my bf's Mom for the first time tonight (we've been together for two years and he insisted I visit her at her work) and although she was kind and sweet to my face, apparently later when my bf got home, she rejected me and insisted we were not meant to be.

I'm heartbroken, to say the least. :sigh:

IJWTS - I'm really sorry she behaved that way :( :hug: While I totally understand that having a parent's approval is what we would like, what really matters is what you and your bf think. You have been together 2 years, something must be going right between you :) Hang in there and I'll be praying for you and I'm seriously only a PM away if you ever want to talk :hug:

IJWTS - thanks you guys. :hug: I hope she comes around though.
IJWTS - there are members of my fiances family who are not super thrilled with the idea of N and I getting married - has to do with their view of divorce/remarriage. It was difficult for me at first and still is in some ways but the family members have warmed up to me and will be attending our wedding :) Give it some time...just keep being yourself and loving your boyfriend...in the end, I believe that is what a mom truly wants - a woman who will love her son as much as she does :hug:

One of my relatives is faithful to her "live in" husband (they've never had a formal ceremony). Some members of my family aren't crazy about calling him "Uncle Bob" or "Grandpa Bob" or what have you. Still, he just does his best to carry on with his life and love those he considers family. :)

:hug: IJWTS I will be praying for her to have a change of heart. Is it for cultural reasons? My sister's MIL was very against my sister and BIL's relationship b/c my sister isn't Greek. They've been quite happily married for like 10 years now or something.

IJWTA does anybody know of any relief agencies where you can donate money for the Haitian earthquake that won't be sucked up by administrative costs?

IJWTS you could try locating a church in your area with a Haitian ministry.
