  • 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?

Thanks. It's been our tradition since I was little, and now we're keeping it going with the next generation.
My health? What's that? :p

What is this, a competition? Because if it was, you'd lose. :smarty:
I was TRYING to portray what stubbornness looked like, MOJO. "not changing my mind" = stubbornness

Actually "not changing my mind" technically = "closed mindedness"

Definition of closed-minded
chiefly US, disapproving. : not willing to consider different ideas or opinions : having or showing a closed mind He's becoming increasingly closed-minded in his old age.

And with that, I'm outta here.

:bye:

It's my parents wedding anniversary, and our tradition is to set the house up like a restaurant. I run the kitchen, and my nephews are my wait staff.
This sounds like a wonderful tradition. I hope that you can continue this for years beyond. Spending time with family is a beautiful thing, even in all of its messiness. Especially when it involves a good meal.

OMM: I kind of want to do something for Valentines day like how I used to in my early childhood. I remember we used to cut out hearts and write sweet notes for family. I think I used to have a lot of fond memories from that time in my life. I may need to look up Pinterest ideas or something. I say who needs romance on Valentine's day when you can just appreciate everyone who you already love and cherish in your life! ^_^
I love this! I've been doing the same over the years, changing my mindset. I usually get chocolates for my mom and step dad. Valentine's for coworkers or a treat. Last year I did a heart in the snow and also some really pretty decor in my house. This year I plan to make some kind of pink drink for my coworkers and possibly a cherry tomato and mozzarella skewer hors d'oeuvre.

OMM: I got a personal message from somebody here on the forums thanking me for the likes because it makes them happy to see notifications when they check in. I have to agree 100% and I want to give a special thank you to @SarahsKnight and @Somber for their consistency and dedication to spread love around. I know there are others but I also like all the friendlies that have been sent. It's like a warm fuzzy feeling to see a heart waiting for you. @shineyourlight , thanks for your humor and much of the conversation that you've been igniting lately. It's so good to check in here and see the engagement that is happening. I wish I could be more engaged, but sometimes I'm a little bit sleepy. Right now I just woke up but hopefully we'll fall back asleep. I have to get up at 4:30 a.m. for work.

Indeed it is. ^-^

'Tis the least a knight can do to keep the positive forces of Light strong here. :angel:

Here is a photo of a decoration I created this year. There are fairy lights behind it so it lights up the room at night. It's a nice warm winter decoration.View attachment 311606
Besides, you say it is I and Somber who keep the love going? ( Well, you are right about @Somber, of course ^-^ ) When you are the one always out and doing things for your neighbors. You adhere perhaps the closest to Jesus' teachings on that front out of any of us, Sampa. Definitely myself, at least. :angel: I am most privileged to know a lady such as you.

That was so kind of that person to send you such a positive message. :) I totally agree with you, it's always so nice to see people spreading kindness and showing that they care with their likes and ratings. You and many others here are good examples with how you always care about others and help them out. I know your thoughtful messages, well wishes, and prayers are very much appreciated by us. :purpleheart:

I present to you the latest in house decoration at SK's bachelor pad. ^-^

Sorry it was hard to get them both in one shot, but, you are seeing that correctly. The name Sarah's Knight on separate decorative towels. ^_^


(.... Also that is a small poster of the game cartridge art for Chrono Trigger in the lower corner. Because YES. :D)

Patients are being absolutely insane today! My lunch break can't get here soon enough.

Iiiii hear ya. I knew I couldn't make it in any kind of customer service, no matter how nicely I would ideally want to treat people. The first bad customer would sour me against all will. You guys deserve your props.

That's why I always try to remember to personally thank a guy or girl when being served with a smile and cheerful tone and language. The other day while in Texarkana when going through the drive thru at a Newks Cafe, the lady at the window was so cute and cheerful I had to let her know how she just made my day. She gushed and was thankful. I can't imagine how she does it if she manages to keep up half that amount of friendliness with any Karen type customer she ever encounters. I pray for her sake that she never comes across them somehow.

Saw some positive words I'd never heard before in a YT vid. It's a nice thought :) :

I am a mosaic of everyone I have ever loved in my life, even if for a heartbeat.
