  • 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.

IJWTS I need a hug.. I had a hearing test today.. and not good.. severe loss.. and hearing aids will probably not work the hearing doctor did not see much hope for them .. :( I kinda knew that myself.. but still..

Suggested cochlear implants and want to trial hearing aids.. I am on a pension now.. so this is not really an option unless they can fund me some how my grandmas sister had it but she was well off.. don't know if I want something like that anyway.. kinda a big shock right now..

I will probably just go for learning deaf speech.. sign language.. the kids are keen to do that.. sorry for the ramble.. need to let it out..

Praying God gives you the strength to not only endure this, but to flourish in the midst of it. Stay strong :hug:

IJWTS I ate right yesterday, did an extra 2 miles on my bike, and still haven't lost an ounce. I'm about to give up. (I won't actually give up, I just have to stomp and cry a bit)

IJWTS that a few days ago I had my younger brother explain the phenomenon of Rick Astly. Because I just was not getting it.

So I listened to the song, saw the pictures and heard the background story. And I came to this conclusion:

The internet is a scary place. The end.

IJWTS this is the text I just got from one of my best friends:

This wolf portrays your soul. Set this as your background on your phone.

IAJWTS this is the conversation between me and my brother (whom I am headed to see on Saturday for vacation :ueee:)

C: So guess what.

Me: what?

C: I have this crazy chick coming to see me next week and I have to put up with her for a whole TEN DAYS!!

Me: That's crazy! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU!

C: Me too!!! Except about you!!! And kind of me too but I feel that way every morning when I wake up and head toward my mirror!!!


I LOVE the people in my life. It explains so much. Soooo much.

The internet is, indeed, a scary place; but, not Rick Astley, because he'll never you up, never let you down, never run around or desert you!

Aw Bicky, you're probably transitioning into muscle... I wouldn't worry, just keep at it and the results will come :hug:

Well I've been biking 5 miles a day for almost a year, so I don't think I've had a sudden explosion of new muscle... I can't think of anything that's happened, or that I've done out of the ordinary recently that could explain it. It's just so discouraging, when you work hard and not only do you not LOSE anything, you GAIN something. Then you really feel like throwing in the towel and eating a chocolate cake, cause your efforts aren't working anyway!

(Have no fear, I'm not going to binge on anything lol)

:hug: I know the feeling..sometimes it seems I look at celery and gain ^_^

I'll be praying for you!

Truly! Why is it that when you work really hard, you gain a pound, and when you eat pizza and chips, the next morning, for some mysterious reason, you've lost a pound? WHAT is that phenomenon?? I don't like it.

It could be something as simple as water retention, I still wouldn't worry. You also have something known as muscle memory, and when you do a routine for about 90 days or so then the results tend to flatten out a bit; and so many experts think people ought to change their workout routine every 90 days to continue to see graduating results.

It's hard to figure how your body reacts to some stuff. I've been working out for months now trying to lose weight. It's frustrating sometimes, but hang in there.

Yeah, you gotta keep changing up your routine. When you first start working out it drives your metabolism up and you burn lots of calories, but as you keep doing the same workout routine, your body kind of settles in to it, and your metabolism comes back down and you burn much fewer calories than you did when you began working out. So you have to keep "shocking" your system to keep seeing results.

Well, I don't have the time or desire to get all creative with a "workout routine". Maybe I'll just fluctuate between how many miles I ride each day.

Guys, please take a moment to offer your sympathy to the agony that is "living inside a female body". Thanks.

You could always work slowly into this lady's routine (I know not everybody wants to see her lol, but, you wouldn't have to get creative and her workouts are mainly done with just body weight exercises):
