• 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.

Anybody else spend their Canadian change here in Michigan? hehe.
All the time. I try to slip in in with other change, being sneaky-like. What's funny is when I have some canadian change and go on a trip to say, Chicago. When I pay they look at me like I'm nuts and I'm like...oh...sorry..heh....

I know what you mean :) I hardly ever look at my change! So while I was interning in Atlanta, GA I had a canadian quarter at McDonald's. The lady behind the counter gave me the raised eyebrow and the sigh saying, "What the heck is this?" Oopsies. I just said I was Canadian. :D

Heh... I do the Canadian change thing too and no one really notices. If they give it to me as change, I sure as heck better be able to spend it myself!

I'm from the Battle Creek/Kalamazoo area.
I always thought it was interchangable...:confused:

PEACE IN CHRIST!!!

Today some one told me something he did last week
He went into TCBY and bought something and got Canadian change back. He demanded that they give him American change. They refused so he whipped out his cell phone and threatened to call the cops. They finally gave him his change. True story.

I don't think about Canadian change, execpt when I go to a vending machine. I too have had people say, "What the heck is this?" when I give them Canadian change on a trip out of state. What's bad is when I get Canadian quarters from a change machine!

I think I asked, some time ago, if anyone knows Alfonso Belin? :scratch:

He now lives in Hertfordhire, near London, & preaches @ Southport AoG in @ 2 hours, & Sunday 10.30am :clap:

By amazing God-incidence, Willow Creek's teaching pastor/writer John Ortenburg is in Southport on Wed night, with a Saltmine Trust UK tour

Tell ya later if they know each other..

Happy Purim! :wave:

Canadian money's prettier than US money, though. And they just changed their designs.

My dad uses a looney for a marker when he plays golf.

Also, on the bust of the queen on the canadian money, her headgear's steadily increased in size. I've got some really old coins that look like a crown of flowers, then a little tiara-crown, then a full crown.
