• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hey The beach was done plein air but we socially distanced ourselves. We were sitting just to the left of the lifeguard flag. The idea is to try not to drown leftways of the orange flag cause your out of their jurisdiction. They are also forbidden to do mouth to mouth. Theseare 12x16 and 11x14 watercolor on synthetic paper. The desert scene has the smallest painted car in all of art history added for scale. It was a jeep.

Thank you :) Where are you from in Holland? My wife grew up in Aalsmeer near Amsterdam.

I live in Ede.

I am not originally dutch, I married a dutch man.

Yet I write The Netherlands on my account information because I live here. There have been some who have thought this strange, as they think you should write where you were born and grew up. But I simply answer what the questions ask of me, if asked where I am living I say this.

If I would write the country where I was born and grew up, people would expect I was living there now too. So if I would be saying "Here in The Netherlands", they may also find it strange, since this wouldn't be what was written on my account information.

Oh now that you say Ede and that you are an expat I think we have met on here before and had a similar conversation. I remember talking about the world class Kroller Muller museum in the National Park not far from where you live.

I just learned a new word; Expat. :D

We may have talked in here before. My former username for a longer time was Crowned Princess. :)
