    Would you plan a non-Christian funeral?

    I think I'm with Frankj on this one. If someone wanted an Islamic funeral I'd point them towards a mosque. If someone wanted a funeral that celebrated the life of the deceased but didn't mention God I don't see why their wishes shouldn't be honored. Whatever my views on God and Jesus might be...

    Being triggered is up to you

    Is it true that they can't be eliminated? Methods like systematic desensitization can be very helpful when dealing with trauma responses although for many people the cost is prohibitive, as it can take some considerable time.

    Being triggered is up to you

    It would depend on what is meant by being triggered. To a large extent we can choose whether to be offended by something. We can decide how we respond to a form of words we might not have chosen, and it often seems like a lot of "offense" is manufactured. The terms we're supposed to use...

    Losing weight as you age

    I still want to eat more or less anything that stays still long enough. Running helps stop my waistline from expanding to something more consistent with this desire.

    What's your favorite chat messenger?

    I keep it on my phone but turn notifications off because otherwise Facebook decides I really need to know that a thread I posted in six weeks ago just took off again. I usually use text messages or Signal. For people who aren't on Signal I'll use Whatsapp but avoid discussing anything...

    Is manifesting magic or praying to false gods?

    I suppose a lot would depend on just what someone means by "manifesting their dreams". It seems like the kind of vague term that could mean almost anything.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    The forecast says there's a chance of a wintry mix with ice accumulation tonight. I hope the roads are safe to get to church tomorrow. Our last church was barely a mile from home so we could walk it if we needed to. The church we've been attending for a few weeks now is about 8 miles away, so...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    My watch had a 5k challenge this weekend. Yesterday was nasty so I walked. Tomorrow is supposed to be nasty so I didn't want to leave it any longer. It was cold during the run but by the time I finished I'd worked up quite a sweat. My watch, the same watch that pairs with the software offering...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Yes, you can borrow enough gas from the can to get to the gas station, where you can refill the can and return it. Sounds convenient, as long as the gas hasn't been sitting there for eons. We usually have some gas in a can for the mower, although in the winter we just put whatever's left in one...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    It's a bit of an ask to ask someone to drive 20 minutes to take you to the gas station to fill a can of gas to then drive you home and drive 20 minutes back home, because you forgot to fill up. In an emergency I suspect any friend who was able to help would be willing to help. I like to think I...

    That's handy. It's good to know there are people nearby you can call on if you need them.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    If you have neighbors nearby that's certainly an easier option. Or you could ask for a ride to the gas station with your gas can :)

    How fast is your internet?

    Somewhere around 500mbps. Over wifi I usually get around 2-300 on any given device that supports it. Our provider offers faster packages but we really don't need to go faster.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    It's a long way to walk but if you don't have any gas in your car you run out of options. You only need a gallon of gas, maybe less if you can buy less, to get your car to the station. You'd certainly get your steps in, walking 8 miles out and back. My nearest gas station is about 1/4 mile...

    Do some Christians replace one sin with another?

    I suppose it depends on the nature of the sin, and why and how people were dealing with that particular sin.

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    My suggested workout was a 30-minute recovery run but I figured with rain coming I can recover tomorrow. I set off and within less than half a mile wondered whether I should go back home and put more layers on for a walk instead of a run but decided to stick with it. The first mile felt like a...

    Warmer weather for a couple of days so I took the chance to get a longer run in. Monday I ran 10 miles, yesterday I didn't feel like running (more specifically my calf muscles didn't feel like running) but it was warm again so I went for a gentle run. It's a struggle to keep my speed down but I...

    What are your views on vaccines?

    I think the recent fiascos with the Covid vaccine has done immeasurable damage to the reputation of vaccines overall. The endless blatherings based on nothing, the imposition of vaccine requirements even before the vaccine was fully approved, and the ongoing questions about side effects coupled...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    If I'm expecting to drive anywhere the cell service is minimal at this time of year I want a decent amount of fuel in the tank, just in case. Other times I don't worry until I'm low. I don't like being concerned I don't have enough gas to get the couple of miles to my preferred gas station, but...

    Wal mart

    Is Walmart specifically "Christian friendly" or do they just offer stuff that caters to anyone and everyone? I get that's probably more friendly than some stores that offer stuff catering to every single imaginable religion except Christianity, I'm just not sure it counts as "Christian friendly"...
