  • 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.

What's on your mind?

OMM: Just hadda call 911.

Was watching Flash with my dad, thought I heard screaming, checked with my mom to see if it was her tv, then checked with my little brother. He was in a boss fight on an RPG, so I thought that was it. Went back to finish Flash and heard it louder, knew it wasn't a tv, so I ran to my room and ripped my phone off the charger to call 911. I rounded up the rest of my family and opened the door to see if I could hear anything.

A woman was screaming, then moaning, but I couldn't see anything until the police arrived; they arrested a man, and as I was writing this the sergeant called me to get my info for her report. She said it was a domestic dispute and the man was "heavily intoxicated", and that it was good I called because the woman had no way to call for help herself, no shoes, no coat, nothing.

I don't think I'll be sleeping super easily tonight. lol

Praise God you were paying attention and called 911!

Morning all! Off in search of breakfast and coffee. :asd:

"Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn! I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations. For your steadfast love is great to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds."
Psalm 57:8-10

Yikes! God bless you for the rescue!
I remember I had to call 911 twice when I lived with my dad. There a guy drunk out of his mind trying to kick down a wooden gate across the street from my house. Then he slipped and fell, cursed, got back up and staggered his way around the block. I'm pretty sure the police caught him, though I didn't see.

The other call was for loitering with a vehicle and being super loud in the dead of night.

Nothing like actually saving someone, that's pretty cool!

Good morning everyone! :wave:

Awesome job on calling 911, mojo. Not everyone would call anymore. A lot of people just sit back and when something happens they say "well I think I heard something but I didn't want to say anything"

:thumbsup:

I decided to not drink coffee or any other caffeine laden drink this morning. I almost did at breakfast but decided against it. Shocking, I know, but the sad thing is I want coffee so bad right now.... :sadd: I clearly have a problem. :ahah: Time to start getting that under control.

Man, Mojo, you're becoming like our personal celebrity of the singles community.:)


... Or perhaps our patron Saint of Actually-Giving-a-Crap-About-Other-People-When-They-Are-in-Distress.


(Long title for a saint, maybe, ^_^ but like Jennie said above, at least you responded when some people likely wouldn't bother to over a scream.)

:scooter: ... Well, the one temp agency I bothered to go 40 minutes (and through four blasted toll roads, might I add) south from my house last Friday to inquire after a lab assignment I saw posted at Indeed has yet to bother to get back with me even after I tried following up twice.

So, now I move on to trying to find work suitable for my chemistry-oriented genius ^-^ at Staffing Solutions just down the road today. Please pray for me that I achieve something positive towards the end of getting back into the lab analyst workforce through my efforts today. And also that this time, it will be the kind of environment seemingly more suited to me, my personal skills, and my particular tolerances for stress in my new job, unlike my last one working for a pharmaceutical giant. ^_^

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains...........

Well shucks, yall gon' make me blush. :blush1:
But I didn't do much; all I did was make a phone call and wait.

@SarahsKnight - Ah, temp agencies and stuff. I know how that goes. Good luck to you.

@Swan7 - When I lived in CO, I had to call for loud loiterers also. Not fun.

@dreaminofireland - Unffff, good luck on the no coffee thing! Hang in there. And maybe find a good tasting decaff if you miss the flavor too much.

Most decaffs are made by using a chemical to extract the caffeine. Thus why it tastes like.... Something I won't mention here ;)

But if you can find an all natural organic decaff. Ooooh, it tastes great.

I am resistant to country music, but I gotta admit I like this song.


Funny, the guy looks like a kid. ^_^
Pretty good song. I know what you mean about being resistant, but really there are some very talented musicians and song writers in the country music scene.

I suppose so, but I really don't come across many country songs that I actually like...... I generally find myself drawn to the ladies that listen to country more than I find myself ever actually wanting to hear it. ^_^

He sure looks it. ^_^
