• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Ah. My apologies... I don't know why but I assumed you're American.
*laughs* I know why. You assumed that because you know where I live. I am American. But I have strong German heritage. At least, that is what I am blaming my lack of singing ability on. Maybe it is something else, but for now, this excuse will do.

German heritage... neat! I guess you could say I have Scottish heritage, since there is a lot of Scottish blood on my Dad's side of the family (and a little on my mother's too) but I'm pretty much American. My dad's sister visits Scotland a lot, though, since that's where her husband was from.

Well, my heritage is Danish, several generations back. Gotta love those Vikings!:D

Well, at least my avatar photo is still there. Yes, that's me! Playing flute on Denver's Sixteenth Street Mall. :)

Edit: What's this? My character just returned! :D
Returned to where?

By the Valar, they are back! Amazing. I am not quite sure I like this new background...

So how are you all doing with translations?
Not doing any translation now but I am halfway to my goal of a username change. Only 7000 more blessings to go... and of course, both of the options for my new username are from the Silmarillion as my current one is.

What, may I ask, are your options?

I'm thinking either Laurelin or Nienna.
Why do you not do something custom? You know, something that you decide upon and translate. It makes it more original. Not that there is a problem with using existing names. I went by Orome for a while before the Morvaltur name was brought into existance.
If you have an English equivalent that you want to translate into Quenya or Sindarin, I would be glad to offer assistance with the translation.

I'll think about it, and perhaps I'll take you up on the offer, but I think I really like those two. I'm leaning toward Laurelin at the moment just because the meaning of the name seems to fit my love of singing.
