  • 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

Shrinking after spending a couple months away from the gym to let a nagging left shoulder totally heal
LOL, again the exact opposite. I recently had a broken toe, and it's not healing very fast. I have mobility issues, so I do water jogging in the pool at the gym for exercise, but for the past seven weeks I haven't been able to. When I stop exercising, I do anything but "shrink."

Some people can eat by the buckets full and not gain an ounce. I can gain weight reading a recipe.

Clerks who say absolutely nothing at all to me lol. Did you ever stand in a store for 10 minutes and the clerk doesn't even acknowledge your existence?

This.
It happened to me again the other day....I can't think of anything right now that bothers me more.

When people say something blatantly racist, then when confronted, shrug it off with, "Oh, I've never been politically correct."

saw person in road, he was swinging two bag of groceries so did slow down

he stepped up on curb as I approached but because of swinging the bags, he stepped back onto street almost falling in front of me

there was car behind me and knew one next to me but I still swerved a little into next lane to avoid hitting him

Sending someone packages and watching the tracking info just freeze a couple weeks ago

I once ordered a package and tracked it. Finally it was in a nearby town (I live in the state of Washington) and I expected it within a day or two. Nope. When it didn't arrive, I tracked it again, and it was in Texas. I suppose somebody put it on the wrong truck or something.

Once or twice I had a letter take SO long that it was correct of me to assume it was lost, then out of nowhere it showed up. My theory was that it fell behind a bin or something and wasn’t noticed for a long time.
