• 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.

Skunks. Can't get away from 'em.

We have one that frequents our back yard, but will politely slip away if he hears us outside....never sprayed us or been a threat of any kind. I've even almost picked him up because he's the same size and color as my Shih Tzu. NOT funny.

Whenever we go camping, a skunk wanders into camp, but never sprays us. Ever been cooking over an open fire, looked down and noticed a skunk standing beside you waiting for his treat? I have!

If you've never seen a skunk, just follow me around and your luck will change.

Tell me God doesn't have a sense of humor.


If it's sumfin beeeeuuuuteeeful that you're looking fer, it would have to sunsets, especially those with special cloud shapes.

I had an encounter once with something similar... I was fishing by moonlight, sitting on this nice sandy spot on the river bank just enjoying the beauty of the sky when something caught the corner of my eye... I turned and looked and a porkupine wasn't but two feet away from me, looking at me as if to say, "Hey, what are you and what are you doing?":D

Well... it does derive from cocoa beans, sugar beets or maybe sugar cane and sometimes honey, with the occasional nuts added ;) :D

Yikes! Better a skunk squirt than a porcupine assault, methinks.

There is a picture displayed at our Vet's. office of a dog that got too curious of a porcupine and it ain't purdy. There were close to 200 quills in his face and head.

I saw one like that on animal planet once, but I think it was a cactus. Poor critter!!!
