  • 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

Lynn and Annabel, you guys are good to be able to understand my garbled instructions! :clap:

And VOW, I'm sorry I missed your post where you said your anniversary is coming up. My best wishes to you, too, gal!

If my husband were still alive, we'd be married 38 years in September. Gads...the time sure flies, doesn't it?

One thing about marriage, you sure go on a roller coaster ride! This past weekend, I had a WONDERFUL Saturday, a belated Mother's Day trip and dinner, and we all had a wonderful time. On Sunday, alien space invaders took over my husband's body and he turned into a snarling, stomping, pouting, yelling, tantrum-ing jerk.

Oh, well.

When asked the secrets to having been married so long, I tell people, "Murder is still illegal."


Peace,
~VOW

I sometimes kid about my wife's temper, and she's a bit of a bruiser. At one point, someone said "I'll tell Jesse you said that", and I replied cheerfully "Jesse: The cure for teeth!". She was told, and thinks this is charming.

I think the whole thing is adequately summarized by the observation that the punching bag is in her room, not mine.

(In fact, to the best of my knowledge, she's never knocked anyone's teeth out, but she has broken noses.)
