  • 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.

Howdy! Got the chores done, so am chillin' while the boy plays PS2 before we head out to sell popcorn to unsuspecting neighbors.

Have a good day!

Your boy in cub/boy scouts? We were supposed to go up to the local Safeway with our pack to sell popcorn, but no one got out of bed in time.

Hi all,

Just brought the kids back from pieroghi pinching for our Christmas bake sale. According to the health inspectors young children couldn't be on the premises so I took my youngest to the park and to Sam's. We're having a lovely day in the 80's with a nice cool breeze. It was nice to have a playday with just she and me.

Got a Motorola Razr, it's just the most nifty thing ever. I remember the first cell phone my mom ever got. It was back in like 93, it weighed like 3.5 pounds and took up like half of a large purse. Certainly didn't have a built in camera or video playback. Wierd how far they've come in just a few years.

Yes, Kami. Boy Scouts. Third year as tenderfoot.

His first year selling popcorn, he sold enough to pay for the entire year of scouting events (every campout AND summer camp). The second year, he sold enough to attend a lock-in at a laser tag joint. This year, he's decided he wants to do it all again, so it's door-to-door all over the subdivision. Unfortunately, for him, he's a little late. The cub scouts have beat him to most of the neighbors!

My cat has an eye infection. Had to make an emergency run to the vet this morning - again. :sigh:
I hope the kitty's ok!

I've been worried about this lump on my dog's leg. It's about the diameter of a quarter (he's a cocker-beagle mix, so this looks large on him!). He has some shots coming due... so I'll have him checked then.

I read online that a lot of older dogs (mine is 15) can develop benign cysts on their legs? Anyone heard of this?

And then the school called to tell me that something didn't look quite right on my son's scoliosis screening. The nurse told me it wasn't an emergency, but I should have the doctor examine his spine (his shoulders appear to be "uneven....?") on his next physical.

As always, any prayers you can send up for him are appreciated!

Yes, a lot of dogs get fatty cyst deposite dealies... I knew a 15 y/o cocker spaniel who had a ton. My dog is almost 11, and she has started to get them. They're nothing to worry about. Try pressing lightly and see if it seems painful, or watch for limping. If those aren't there, it's probably fine.

I did examine him that way... he completely ignored the fact that I was pressing against it with my finger, so I had to assume there was no pain. He is not limping, however, ten minutes ago when he went to jump up onto my sons bed, the FRONT half of him made it up there just fine, but the back half kind of slammed into the side of the bed. No, I don't think it's the lump, I think he's just exhausted from our long walk today!

He had a problem about 8 years ago with calcified leisions on his spine. Poor thing couldn't tell WHAT was going on from about the middle of his spine to his tail. This made for some interesting trips outside. SO, I watch for things like the back end not doing what he thought it would do when he set out to jump up on the bed. Back then, the vet sedated him and took some x-rays, and we found that he's also suffering from a mild case of hip displasia, which explained why he usually curls up and chomps down on his hip. He has done this ever since he was a little puppy. The heat from his breath relieves the discomfort. (Dogs are so smart sometimes!). He'll lay there for long periods of time, with his hip in his mouth!

I did have some geriatric bloodwork done on him last year, and the vet says Barney is likely to outlive ME! Overall, he's blessed with very good health, and has been an outstanding member of my family! I wish I could afford to clone him. I'd love to have him around for another 20 years!

:( Today during the mnymosino this poor woman broke down completey and started weeping, and shaking, and yelling "My Son, My Son" in Greek. Seeing this poor mother broke my heart. I don't have a name but if you could offer a prayer for her it would be greatly apreciated.

I was really crying and so was the lady next to me, even though we don't even know who the woman was. I don't know how, but her family managed to carry her outside. I've seen crying, I have seen what we call "Nekalia" which I guess you could call wailing, but I have never seen anybody tremble and cry so violently at a mnymosino (Although I have seen it at funerals)
