  • 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.

That reminds me of the limited edition Karl Box by Faber-Castell. I don't use them. I prefer Caran D'Ache. But I want it nonetheless because of him. He's the Michael Jordan of fashion. We'll never have another. Its $3,500 on Amazon.

^ Fair enough, it'll be nice when new. But when you've depleted the contents you're stuck with an overpriced storage box.

They do a similar thing with the Van Gogh set as well. A wooden box with about twelve tubes of paint in it, three brushes, a cloth, and a bottle of turpentine. I'd maybe buy it for a Van Gogh anorak, but I wouldn't want it myself.

The dark arts of branding...

I probably wouldn't use them. It would be decoration for the studio.

I did that when I was a whisky collector. I didn't buy liquor to drink, I bought trophies. (That ended up getting opened when I came to my senses.)

People do the same with wine but I'll drink the Lafite! I might leave a few behind. But I'll enjoy the majority.

30 Dangerous Bridges You Won’t Want to Cross – Page 30 – Travel Manner

This might be a fun little adventure for me to take soon. Louisiana is my immediate neighbor so it shouldn't be too far. Besides, considering the uneasiness I had going over bridges oftentimes when I was a child, I think it would be a decent test of personal bravery for me without going overboard with reckless stupidity or anything. ^-^

I don't like bridges. I'm unsure when it happened. But they freak me out. *lol*

I’m doing a one month trial to Hulu to watch The Handmaid’s Tale. The books were good. Hopefully the series is equally so.

Errr.. isn't that full of feminism? Lol.

*laughing* That didn’t take long. There’s two camps in the books. Both are extreme. Not to worry, I’m a good girl.

Alright. Just from what I've seen.. it seems to be mainly a feminist fantasy of women being oppressed and abused. Not much different than your average Lifetime movie garbage.. but one with a higher budget and maybe a more talented writer behind it.

There’s too much melodrama! I never liked it.

Not to worry, I won’t get indoctrinated. You’d bring me to my senses if I did. *lol*

Just curious, but why do you like that book?

Lifetime is a pretty creepy channel. Kids shouldn't be watching half the stuff... yet housewives around the world have it on all day for everyone to see.
