  • 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

Did I tell ya that I repair computers and that I have given away a few. That might have to stop I had a "friend" ask me for one and he wants me to supply all the software and manuels for it. Give me a break it's a free computer, what else is there the world too.

No matter. SHE still should'nt expect you to do that. Software and manuals are her responsibility. I guess I've grown to cynical over the years but some people just want someone else around for all the stuff they can do for them and not really care about anything else.

yep. You got that right. Been think about leaving the fellowship group. You know the reasons. But one other reason was that they only think about themselves. How to get free stuff from another labor. I went to lunch with the group once and one of the fellas left .75 tip for a 10.00 meal Now am not the best tipper in world but I had left the gal 2.00 tip for the same meal. The food was really good and the service was good too.

Yeah I do know the reasons and I think that might be a good idea. I hate to see them take advantage of you. It hurts when you think someone is a friend and they just want what material things they can get and not like you for who you are. That's the most important thing. When you truly care about someone then you want the best for them no matter what, even if it means that you have to sacrifice something you want. And as for cheap tippers, I was a waitress for a couple of years and those nickles under the plate from the suits really, really cheezed me off.

Oh yeah, I waited tables in seminary. Really stinks when you bust your buns for some bozo who treats you like dirt and stiffs you at the end of the meal. What's even worse is if they leave a tract for you with a lousy tip.
Funny story. Used to be suit that came in and would order a parfait. He would put a penny in the bottom of the glass as a tip. Since it was fast food we used those disposable ones. I just threw em away penny and all and one day he caught me throwing it away. He was actually mad!!! I just laughed and told him it wasn't worth my time or effort to go dig for that penny and if the guys who took out the garbage wanted to wrangle over it they could be my guest.
