  • 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?

One of the few friendships I've had w/ a girl my age, she commented I have such pretty eyes. They are brown & around the pupil it's green.

That's pretty cool.

I have the opposite. I have green eyes with brown around the pupil.

The sun is shining for the first time since like before Christmas, it's actually sorta warm. I wish I didn't have to work, I'd love to pack up the car and just drive somewhere, maybe the coast.
There's no doctor today, and I have the coverage for the morning, so I'm doing the responsible thing and working half day instead of calling out. Having lunch at my favorite coffee shop in town while I wait for my haircut appointment at the barber.

I need more days like these.

I often try to sneak in a small exercise routine of planking for at least a full minute followed by 25 push ups each time before going to work. Old habits from my time in martial arts won't die easily even after six years of not being in a classroom, I suppose. ^_^ ... I ask the Spirit to guide me on the planking part and give me a nudge whenever it is time to let up, regardless of whether a full minute has passed or He wants me to hold the position for some time longer. And today, apparently He saw that I was drawing inspiration from watching the Cobra Kai show recently and decided to push me to a limit today ^_^, because I think at least three minutes had passed this time and it was starting to hurt, but I trusted and held out until He gave me the nudge to stop. ... And then I decided, why not, we'll try the second part with pushups on our fists today instead of palms down. :p Could it be Sarah's Knight's time to rejoin the ways of the barehanded warrior once more and see how far he can go?:D

I haven't done plank and push-ups for quite a long time, but have been thinking of taking it up again.

I admit I haven't been 100% faithful to the routine. In fact, maybe only 50%. But still, I do recommend doing it sometimes over not at all. Balance in all things, as the apparently Daniel and Johnny have both been trying to teach us in each of their own little ... unique ... ways on the Cobra Kai show, right? ^_^

Unfortunately my time to go to work is now, so I am having to leave off with 20 minutes left in the last episode of season 4. Looks like I will have to wait and see who wins the big final fight in the ladies' division for when I get back at 5 in the morning. ^_^

Happy belated Birthday Sampa.
Thank you also Vinter:D

It's great that you are doing this kind of routine. All good for the core work. I watched a video some years ago that if we ever had to do prepper survivalists go underground kind of stuff, planks would be the thing to keep ourselves in shape.:D

At work I had a Gossip Girl moment with someone that makes decisions with snow plowing assignments. The short of it, is I know for sure that even though she's pretending to be my friend that I cannot trust her and that she is lying about what someone said. I had to pray after she told me what she did to discern and had trouble concentrating on the video meeting that I was in.

But the Holy Spirit brought to mind where the source of the rumor probably came from. I'm so thankful that I have a co-worker and friend I was able to take a walk with and sort through the details. Mean girls do exist!!!!!

It's pretty surreal the whole thing, but if someone is not snow plowing, others may start acting in "survivor" mode because they don't want to plow. I'm thankful that the Holy Spirit has given me peace about the situation even though this person wanted to instill fear and distrust
Office drama, and backstabbers, not fun. Good job being aware.

Yeah, the Mean Girls surely do exist. And they like to get together and gang up on people, that's a fact.

Aw! I always dislike being cooped up when the sun is out and the weather pleasant! I hope you were able to get a little sunshine at least! :hug:

Oh goodness, me either! I keep thinking I want to get back into an exercise routine and then I never do. I need to become more disciplined with myself! ^_^

Thank you! More interestingly I think the source came from a manager that was a guy that unexpectedly got called out. And I think she was covering for him. She's part of the old school drinking clique from years ago. There are few of us that go back as far as we do. I hate to say it, but the one that gave me the information has never been the same since her fiance she had took his life in front of her a decade ago. They were in a fight, and he was well known and respected. It hit all of us at work really hard.

But in general I have some frenemies, which is okay because I'm becoming more polished at how to have friends even though I know I can't trust them. It's strange, because I'm such a real person, but because of my high profile position with wellness and coaching others I have to be inviting to everyone. And even more, I think the Lord has gifted me with kindness that goes beyond. And I'm thankful. But also the Holy Spirit has given me sharp discernment. At the same time I can be a goofball and say unintended things, it's just mastering how to fashion it so that it's not bigger than what it seems. All in Christ and doing things unto the glory of the Lord.
Wow, it sounds like you handled the situation so well!:hug: Work drama can be tricky for sure...I never knew how to handle it with my past jobs! :ahem: It's sad when people are so hurtful to others.

it's hard! But yeah, I got to kick it awhile and relax and enjoy the sunshine before heading into work.
Since I came in late, I told my associates they could go home early and I'd cover it alone. Fair is fair.

I'm a dork. I parked in front of the haircut place to make my appointment, and then walked across the street to the coffee shop to eat while I waited. Twenty minutes later, I look out the window and see this beautiful car, and think: "wow, whose is that!?" It was mine, I forgot I parked across the street and walked over :asd::ahem::lost:
