  • 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

My husband returns on Friday! :clap: He's been away for a MONTH on business! I am so ready to have him home!

At first, honestly, I enjoyed the break. I'm very independent and really like my own space. I got to talk to him on the phone every night and got the bed entirely to myself! No snoring! I even kicked the dog out and made him sleep with my kids, who were thrilled.

But now I miss him! I miss his hugs, his kisses, and his constant companionship. I miss the little things he does to make my life easier. I'm terribly mousy, despite my independence, and am so happy to have him take over matters that deal with the public!

I have not missed his messes, so we're going to have to talk about that when he gets home. Oddly, without him, the house is immaculate and we have two boys. Hmmm. But I miss the divide-and-conquer routine we have for managing all the boys' activities. I'm very much a homebody and just going to work every day is enough for me. DH works from home and is more than ready to get out of the house by the time the kids need to be run around. So I welcome his taking care of that again!
