  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

Everyone in our house is sick as a dog - except me (somehow....miraculously.) Wife is upstairs feverish, achy, coughing and miserable...our daughter has been for the past 2-3 days...now our 5 month old seem to have caught it and spent the past half hour yacking up on me.

Dunno how I've escaped it so far, as I've become the caretaker of everyone and haven't been keeping any kind of boundaries.

...maybe this bug is saving the best for last.

1am and still up.. Blech.

Echinacea is also good to prevent anything that may be going around. I use it at times (as does VG) as a preventative measure if I feel something coming on. It's best used to strike before anything takes hold. So if I feel a sore throat or something of that nature, using it for a few days will help keep a cold/flu at bay for me.

If I feel something coming at me, I try to put myself to bed immediately, take an extra multi-vitamin, drink as much water as I can to flush my system out, and sleep as much as possible. Lack of sleep is a sure-fire way for me to get sick, so rest is key for me.
