• 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.

  • 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 guess I am in a way....with certain things.

Like when I'm drying laundry and folding the clothes to put them in the basket...the socks have to be on top...so even if all my socks are dried first, they'll wait to be put away until the very end.

And when I'm typing messages, either here or in chat...I have to spell and punctuate properly. If I'm not sure how to spell a word, I'll type (sp?) right after it. And if I find I sent a message with a typoed word (like tlak instead of talk) I'll immediately send another message with the word spelled right.

Thought you didn't do the ego thing

School would be cool if I got to only do the fun stuff   But, when I actually understand what I'm doing as opposed to just memorizing it, it's not that bad.

 

I just realized how perfect my horses' stalls are - I was mucking them this morning and realized that I was sifting through soiled shavings when I was planning on stripping the stall.  I have issues.

I don't do the ego thing, but it's sorta ingrained into human nature

An argument could be made taht as a perfectionist in anything, apparently you have some pride about it because you just can't have something you did be under perfect.... enough philosohpy for today!

Music, oh dear, it's hard for me to be perfect in piano, but it bugs me when I make a mistake!

Wooties Lizzie!! I can't really do anything artistic - so I don't have to worry about that

Actually, I don't care if it's perfect, I just can't leave something half done, and if it's not perfect, than it's not finished


Please don't tell me that it's possible for somebody to make a mistake and not have it bug them. Oh dear! I may just flip a lid ...

Laying it all out - my most personal testimony offered for that one person whom God draws to read it in full. Whoever you are, you are worth it.
