• 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.

We have a terrier x staffy. She is three years old and we rescued her from the Dogs home in April. She warmed to us very quickly and it just felt right. She is beautiful and it is hard to understand why anyone would abandon her.

Do you work outside of the family home?

For money, I figure you mean 'work', so nope, not in a long, long time (Severely disabled, don't get $ for that either), but it's cool; I am a Christian homemaker (no tee vee, no chocolate bon-bons, but I did make, from scratch, some chocolate chip banana bars for my husband to have, startng tonight when he gets home from his (for pay) job.

Do you have a garden, could just be on your window sill or much larger?

P.S. One part, I know it seems small, of my severe disable 'list' is some NEED to use parentheses and then almost never remembering to actually close the so-called parenthetic thought. I don't know why except I did get ADD added to my long list of physical and other 'diagnoses'.

I have a patio garden that just grows flowers and even then not many from lack of sunshine due to facing a forest on the east side.

What was the best part of your day today?

Waking up to a note my husband left before he went to work. It said, 'You are gorgeous, I love you dearly!'

And I didn't even know why he wrote it. Later, when he got home, he said 'I just thought about you and that's what I thought, so I wrote it before leaving.'

That started off the day nicely.

(MadeInHisImage: Nice to have any garden at all; we have a small balcony we use as a hummingbird sanctuary and the plants in containers aren't doing too well with the heat and humidity, may not make it through the rest of this hot spell, but they've made the hummingbirds very happy, and we've enjoyed watching them, will replace as we can afford it, when we can)


Used air conditioning where you live (in house, apartment, et cetera)?

I don't watch tee vee at all, and why: I find what I need and enjoy via this Forum, the Bible (of course), praise music (youtube listening and then iTune buying), and books/books/books, speaking of which:

What was the last (or current) book you would recommend others read?

I am an avid reader; have been since I was 10; used to teach English, poetry workshops, write professionally, et cetera.

I'm feeling ill, lately, so the books I have on-hand, plan to read, well, it may be another little bit but next is finishing The Intolerance of Tolerance; then rereading parts of Blaise Pascal's Pensees (title, Christianity for Modern Pagans, edited by Peter Kreeft), and The Dead Sea Scrolls, a New Translation...

Did you get vaccinated as a child, and if so, or not, did you get chicken pox, measle, any of the 'usual'?
