  • 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.

Ohhh!? I haven't seen this anime! Is it good?

Thanks! I love your new avatar, by the way - it's so pretty! ^-^
Thank you very much!!!

Today one of my dogs passed away. She was 16 years old. Today is a sad day.
Oh no. That's so hard to go through! Sending hugs your way!

Oh goodness, that is epic! I have huge respect for those who do marathons! It takes a lot of dedication and endurance!!!

Bleh, I sleep way too much. I feel like I've just been working this week, then having dinner, then reading Bible/praying for a half hour to an hour, then watching a 20 minute TV episode, then bed time. That's a lot of sleep.
I think it is okay to get extra sleep sometimes. I sleep too much too some days. Although I think I understand what you mean...I used to have that trouble with my last job, I felt like all I did was work, eat, and sleep. I felt like I had no new memories or experiences to look back on or share. Sometimes it helped to do things out of the ordinary or make a list of new ideas to try. Sometimes sleep is so good though after a stressful day!!

@Somber how are you feeling?
I am still a bit under the weather and fatigued, although feeling a bit better than a few days ago and the worst of my symptoms have passed. Thank you ever so kindly.

That's sweet that your sister is always that age during your dreams. When I dream that I'm in houses from my childhood it's like walking into the past or something. Places almost feel more nostalgic than people if that makes sense.

I wish I flied or floated more in dreams. You sound like a really fun dreamer.

The wiener dog sounds intense but it's cool there was a spiritual meaning. Most of my dreams seem like taco dreams lol. You remind me of someone I knew that had elaborate dreams that she could remember well and felt like they lasted days. Almost as if she had another life in her dreams.

Apparently, a new proposal for a project that I assisted with last year is going to be submitted. This comes as a surprise, as I thought that project was dead in the water, but it was just a matter of funding. Long story short, they're interested in having me back as a consultant, to help with the hardware and software development. Although the number of hours would be somewhat limited, the pay per hour is competitive, and I may be able to fit it into my schedule.

I told them I'd need time to think about it, as I'm attempting to re-define my day job to meet the current needs of our department. If our director is convinced that we can save time and money this way, I may be able to work fewer hours for the same pay. The idea being that I could then do more research and consulting work on the side, while also taking a few courses, and retain my benefits. At least, that's what I'd like to do.

The long term plan would be to then apply the experience gained toward my personal projects. I sometimes wonder if I should just move into a tiny apartment, and work as a lighthouse operator or something, to pay the bills while I follow my muse. However, I also understand the utility of building and maintaining a public reputation, making connections, and increasing my bargaining power in the workplace. I'm also aware that there's a point where personal productivity can suffer when not much else is going on. The danger would be becoming lost in thought, and turning further inward. That wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, but it might bother me on one level or another.

If I had a family of my own, they would factor into the equation. The reality of my current situation, however, is mostly a matter of staying healthy, focusing on hobbies, and pursuing personal goals. I have a lot to be thankful for in this respect, and I don't take it for granted, but change is constant and it's helpful to plan for a changing future. Even if God sometimes laughs at those plans, and has other ideas, those ideas can be even better than what I originally had in mind.

It's a lighthearted series about girls in a high school band. 80% of the music is awesome and the characters are all likeable by their unique personalities and quirks. I highly recommend it. ^-^

Sometimes sleep is so good though after a stressful day!!

The most rewarding thing after a string of work days and I now have 48 to 72 hours off, is that first sleep. Especially falling asleep to some cute gal on Youtube doing ASMR. Like Goodnight Moon.

Oh I bet!!! It is so nice to just soak in the rest that first day off!!
And that sounds lovely! I think I remember you showing me some of those videos in the past.

I keep listening to a song over and over again ever since I found it a few days ago. I tell myself to stop, that I will ruin the song for myself and grow tired of it, but do I listen? No!
I just want to listen to it again...

just one more time won't hurt...
...right?
