• 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

As a professional driver I was always taught the best way to avoid accidents is to drive defensively and keep space. If someone is riding ya, just slow down and let them around. Or just keep going at your pace and not give a crap. It's best not to get caught up in frustration and do something stupid.

This. Look ahead. Leave yourself an out. If traffic stops to let you out of a drive, do NOT go. Keep an eye on your surroundings. Keep your eyes moving at all times. Keep constant lookout when backing. Don't drive like an idiot. Make sure others see you. Look for the unexpected. Don't drive drunk. Don't run into a giant yellow school bus.

Need I keep going? (Forgive me. Years of working in driver safety.)

You should get a cool pad to put under it. I used to have that problem all the time til I did.

My cool pad isn't working - when I plug it into the laptop, it says "power surge" - nothing happens. Now, I'm still using the pad to prop up the comp a little. I've used it 24/7 for nearly three years.

So I'm copying all my docs to a thumb drive - and I have 3,600 docs. I don't even have room on the drive to copy all my pics. :/

I have one that doesn't use power and it works great! Best of luck with your computer.
