• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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 the weather like where you are? (10)

Damian (a local PCSO) stopped for a chat with me
as I saw him riding by on his bicycle, while on my way in from the bins
He derided the weather, saying that it has now "been raining, every day for two months now"
I couldn't disagree with him, replying that I am waiting, for a break in it
so that I can put up the outside Christmas lights... Electric and water do not mix at-all safely

watch-out Sue, you are not far away

It certainly has been windy for about 24 hours! It was very gusty, but dry, when I was out earlier, and I can still hear it.

No snow all-weekend, and even the rain has held-off today (ie: so-far \o/)

Finished installing the inflatable Father Christmas and a pair of snowmen over the front Porch
I may give the 'outside-lights' a miss, this year, it is so windy ( shame, to have them damaged)

Went out with Mary and three of our neighbours for a 'slap-up' at a Pub Restaurant
this afternoon (about 8 miles away) I had coffee, as I do not Drink & Drive
Everyone enjoyed themselves although Mary's ice-cream gave her abdominal pain
for about twenty minutes (I suspect a duodenal ulcer)
She is prescribed 'Buscopan', so maybe my diagnosis is also shared with physicians

Barring the unexpected, I am off to Bristol at the weekend (down one-day and back the next)

My sister is unwell and I wish to see my granddaughters, before Christmas

:wave:

I did laugh sahjimira! :) That would be very mild for this time of year for us. It has been mild though until last night when there was a light frost. I think the temps are getting colder.
