  • 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.

But still, I just am reluctant to cause any trouble in general, you know?

I know the feeling. I used to frequently raise issues at work, but I hardly bother anymore. It's so often just far easier to let it go. Except when your own health and well being is at stake, as it is now. I hope you manage to get it resolved.

Dilbert used to give me nightmares as a kid. Back in 1996 I had a very scary dream about him.
Catbert is definitely the stuff of nightmares!

@SarahsKnight, I would definitely approach the manager.

My response is short.

I have yet to have coffee.

Someone deliver it to me, stat.

And pour all that creamer in one cup, thanks.

As promised, made my famous baked tacos last night for dinner.

I split my time during this shutdown between my place and my parent's place. When I'm at my parents, I make dinner for them. My Mom and I both eat very healthy, and so, I introduced her to these bad boys and one of my favorite meals.

Mom and Dad both raved about it all night

Tacos remind me of my first proper trip across America - I mean, I head on down to Coney Island every year to meet a few pals for some mass hotdog consumption, but I never REALLY experienced America until I made it right across (I'm British.)

I ate some of the best food in my life in Dallas. The tacos were quite the revelation.

All of this talk about food and travel is making me HATE this lockdown even more. Anyone who knows me, knows that travelling is the air I breathe.

I'm also the biggest caffeine junkie in the world - a life without Rockstar and Monster is a bleak and very grey prospect.

Those tacos look amazing @shineyourlight!! I definitely need to try those out soon.

I'm in total need of coffee, was a restless sleep last night, and had weird dreams.

I don't drink anything in my coffee, just strong and black please.

Also on my mind, I want to work on being more open with people. I admire people who just say what they think or how they feel about someone, or things like that. Especially with guys, I'm terrible at talking to them, I over analyze everything I say, or I have anxiety if I give them the least compliment that it'll be taken the wrong way. lol I feel like that is something I need to work on.

I have a big personality, and confidence for me and like three other people, but only when it's things I know I'm good at, or that I've accomplished and it's worked out. But conversations, communication, nope. Not my forte.

Man ... you had better be glad that @Toro got married and can no longer be here in this sub-community to see your culinary handiwork. .... So, you know, that's exactly why I am typing his name out with the @ so as to alert him here to see this post.


Everybody here will tell ya, he was all about the tacos.

Hi, Miss Joy. Welcome. I fear as the newcomer you are immediately following a very tough act in @shineyourlight , who has really become the life of the party here in just a matter of days since her arrival , but I am sure we will like having you around too.
^-^

Just been going through some old posts (from four/five years back) and noticed that I've contributed next to nothing. It's really makes for some depressing reading. I'm either mugging people off or posting complete rubbish.

I think the latter years have been okay but the older stuff is just terrible.

I would likely serve you eagerly in that request you make, were my heart not already kinda sorta really fond of another lady at my place of work right now. ^-^

It's in our blood.

If we aren't mugging someone off or having a good old complain at some point throughout the year, something's wrong.

We really are THE MOST British of Brits aren't we? Let's face it, I'm never going to be mistaken for an LA kid.

I submitted preliminary storyboards this morning, and our PI wants to use them at an upcoming conference. They still need a little work, mostly to incorporate new features and feedback from teammates, but I'm happy with how they turned out.

Oh, you know I will. Maybe if I don't eat all of it....


We are kind of weird this way.

There are days I have to remind myself to be grateful for what I have right now, in this moment.
There are times when I remember my days working and I want to go back to it, but then I remember how much I'd say I didn't want to work. Those were good days. Having a job is good even if it's hard at times.

Oh, another traveler like myself.

Where have you traveled so far?

And I used to drink Monster and Mountain Dew constantly (I've lost over 100 pounds by working out and eating right), and my stomach can no longer digest it. I hate it. Because once in a great while, I'd love to have a Mountain Dew or a Monster but it messes up my stomach for, a week straight.

Those tacos look amazing @shineyourlight!! I definitely need to try those out soon.

I'm in total need of coffee, was a restless sleep last night, and had weird dreams.

BLACK COFFEE?!

Girl, you crazy. Nooooo thank you.

First, popcorn with M&M's and now black coffee?!

Hello,I am new here.
I am Joy. Nice to meet you
Hi, @Missjay! Welcome!

No, I take my creamer with coffee

Well, he obviously hasn't met me. I can eat a truckload of tacos without even blinking.

Don't listen to him, @Missjay. I'm god-awful.

I smell.
I sing terribly.
I don't read the Terms and Conditions.
My jokes are lame.

But, my tacos are amazing.
He might just be saying nice things to get my food.

I would likely serve you eagerly in that request you make, were my heart not already kinda sorta really fond of another lady at my place of work right now. ^-^
Touche. I guess I'll just find someone else to make me coffee.

There are times when I remember my days working and I want to go back to it, but then I remember how much I'd say I didn't want to work. Those were good days. Having a job is good even if it's hard at times.
It is. What are you doing now?

Good thing I like ya, or I would defriend you right here and now for liking nothing in your coffee.

When I did a cleanse the other day (I do a cleanse every Wednesday), you can only drink tea or black coffee unlimited. I almost passed out from shock.
