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.

I will never look at quarters the same way again either. And I think I'll wash my hands every time I touch one. LOL
DH chases the kids around the house. There is lots of yelling and screaming and they always end up running to me for protection. I'm sure if someone walked up to our house they would be concerned about the noise.

One time we were driving past Target at night (it was dark) and the big red T on the sign was unlit. I pointed it out to the kids and told them there must be a new store in the neighborhood called "arget". I kept the game going. This new "arget" store did not have any toys, no kids clothes, nothing fun. Just a boring old store selling nothing fun. They were asking me questions - "No Hotwheels?" Nope. "No candy?" Nope. etc... I honestly thought the kids were just playing along with me, having fun.
Then one day we stopped there to pick something up and my son said "Heyyyy, you were wrong! It's not a bad store, its just the same as Target!" Guess he'd taken our conversation seriously.

It must be a "male" thing. I am always getting into trouble for running amok with my daughters. I guess one day we will get a knock on the door to find out what all the noise is about. Wifey does not see the humour in it at all!

My husband and I both like to mess with our kids. We just tell them some of the most wild cockamamie stories in the world and they will fall for them hook, line and sinker. We always let them in on the gag after a while and they laugh just as much as we do. These are stories along the lines of "the one that got away" or the time daddy wrestled with Godzilla or what ever. They seem to like these stories quite a bit.

Yeah, of course it's fun to do that. Like that thing with 'arget'--of course a kid has no experience in so many things so hey it COULD be true...
Once when my wife and I needed to finish a conversation and the kids kept interrupting I said "Hey, guys, I need you to go and make sure the drapes in the living room don't fall down--can you guys go do that, right now?" And they said, "Oh, sure!" and went running off.
