  • 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

Hello....

I think I've developed some kind of acid re-flux reaction from the stress of wedding planning and moving etc. I haven't been able to eat normally for the past 4 days. Taking tums helps for a little while, and then I need to take more or the upset stomach and esophagus comes back. I don't often feel stressed, but in most cases I tend to not allow myself to focus on or deal with feelings of stress until they build up to levels where they physically manifest themselves in ways I can't ignore - so just because I don't feel stressed doesn't mean I'm not. I will be moving a month before the wedding and then moving again once we're married. I'm in the process of saving money to do that, as is my fiance. Money management stresses me out by itself. Anyway, I'm not sure anyone can really help or tell me anything I don't already know. But I just felt the need to vent a little bit. Thank you for listening and understanding.

ttyl.

Yeah, Ethan43. That would be nice. Unfortunately it's not in the budget. I can't afford to pay people for diddly squat. Most all my help is volunteer and the few who are paid are paid through the venue (which is my fiance's church so it's less expensive than most venues). We have a very limited budget to work with and we're doing everything we can to cut corners on expenses and still have a nice time.
