• 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.

  • 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)

We have frost again, daily but no snow other than an odd flurry that doesn't settle. I thank God for a good heating system.
I like good heating. When my husband was in college we lived in an old, old house & sometimes wore our winter coats indoors.

yes! I can remember days like that when we were first married. Every time we tried to light the fire it would go out. Happy days!?!

We've had temps down to -5 C in NW England last week; it's got too cold even for me who likes winter - outside (less keen when the house gets too cold). This week it's above freezing again but we've had some rain. I feel so sorry for those sleeping rough. How can that happen in this day and age?

It's -11C in Vancouver Canada tonight. Lots of snow. Usually a few of the churches are open for the homeless. I can't imagine the hardships they're encountering either.
Yikes!

Winter storm Elliott will be here tomorrow! Blizzard condtions and very cold. "Shiver me timbers!" and "Heap on more wood. The wind is chill."

Here in Minnesota where I live, we are getting Sub-Zero weather. In fact it is about 30 below wind chill. I am staying inside my apartment. I can't even travel to another state to visit family because the driving conditions are so bad. I will probably go on Christmas Day.

I looked at the temp at 3:00 AM yesterday and it was 7 below. Winter storm Elliott is worse the further north you are! Those who lose power are in a bad way,:praying:

I feel blessed. We got only a few inches of snow, but it was so cold I gave up trying to shovel.

I got the Christmas gifts out of the house with my granddaughter's help and watched the great- grandkids open theirs.
