  • 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

Lol, I'm not old, at least not as old as you ;). My wife made a comment when I hurt my back at work, she said I wasn't in my 20's anymore so I get hurt easier. My hair is turning grey (including my mustache) and I'm sure not as tough as I used to be, but at least I'm not 40!

Yeah yeah...remember men age quicker than women. It's like dog years or something. :)

I realized that I can't stay up as late as I thought and not feel like I had been hit by a truck. Now I wonder how I did that in college.

I personally don't consider the 30s to be old, nor do I consider myself to be old. I know people in their 50s that I don't consider to be old.

It's all in how you perceive things. ;)

My sentiments exactly. I will be 40 in November-& while that is a milestone-I try not to see myself as old. When my sciatic nerve decides to say hello or my knees rebel-& I realize that I'm not as flexible as I was when I was 20--it's harder to see myself as still young--but I think it is in your mindset. I know people who are in their "golden years"--who are more physically active & have a healthier outlook on life than alot of people in their 20's & 30's. These are people who have decided to live while they still can!!
Mind over Matter is real & it works.
It isn't denial of reality--it is rather a choice I make to live instead of shopping for my casket!!

I suffered a "mid-life" crisis at 24
Fearing I would get way too old
Wanted to be young at the time
My mom told me that you get better with age
Guess what, she was right!:wave:

Going through my daily life, I have noticed that my life issues are so different and I have realized I am OLD!!! :eek:

How do we deal with that now? The knowledge that we are now "old"?

I'm going to tell you what I tell my sis... "I'm not far behind you!" :)

I just don't think it is a matter of mind set at all.

When your body, even with exercise and proper diet, hates anything after 10:30PM, then you need to face it you are getting old.

I can still listen to Avril and car dance with the best of them but man I am still getting old.

Try to make something positive out of it, and think of it as gaining another year of wisdom.

None of us are getting any younger.

Just a little encouragement. Hope it helps. :)

Geesh!!! I must be really weird (DON'T ANSWER THAT!!:D ). I get up at 4am to clock in before 5:30am!!! Nice thing is--I clock out by 2:30pm!!!. I too need my sleep-depending on how good a night I am having (tonight--not being a good one)--I am often in bed by 7-7:30pm.
