• 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)

Our temps are in the upper twenties at night and when the sun rises it sometimes warms up to the forties, once in a while to low fifties. One early morn it was 25 degrees and I thought, "You've got to be kidding!"

We've only had two mornings where it dropped below freezing so far. And neither time did it stay there long enough to actually freeze anything... other than my basil. Our yard is greener now than it was all summer... although it be weeds.

We're at 64 right now with a cold front coming through. It's quite breezy!

Snow is in our forecast for Sunday. I think I'll put a wreath on the door.


57°F, breezy, overcast and drizzly.

I've been planning to put the wreath up for a week and keep forgetting. That's all the decoration we put up. Three houses on our block are quite atmospherically decorated with lit trees, blow-up creatures, fences of lit candy canes and eave lighting. Nary a baby Jesus in the manger. They'll be the only three. The rest of us are more subdued. After all, it's not about Santa...

I've never decorated for Santa. Now I barely decorate at all. I gave all my outdoor lights to my daughter. I'm too old to mess with them. I have a Christmas doormat. My street is subdued as you say. A lot of Mennonites; I don't know about the others. It's not quite as cold. Lows are in the the thirties instead of the twenties.
