Thanks very much for the encouragement, CharliRenee.

The truth is, I was going through a super "serious" phase (as shown by my previous threads about prayer before this one.) I know that one of the most pervasive criticisms of the Singles Forum is that it's somehow not "spiritual" or that we never talk about the Bible, etc.

When I go through my "withdrawal" phases I started reading/watching documentaries about things that catch my interest -- this time it was psychopathology, the histories behind the remains of ancient mummification, genetics (conjoined twins, hermaphroditism, chimeras), and various other times when genetics seem to go horribly wrong -- and during these phases, I'm asking God questions the whole time.

But these aren't exactly the kinds of things that people want to read about, especially here in Singles, lol... So my need for serious discussion came out in the Prayer threads, while this thread is a by-product of everything else. :) Just an old idea I'd been carrying around ever since the last shipping tthread died out.

I still have a couple more ideas...

We'll see what happens. No guarantees, as I can go into another withdrawal phase at any given time, and without any notice, depending on my stress levels, depression, and what's going in in life, etc. And if I happen to "fall out" of a writing mode, I just can't make myself do it, no matter how much I might try. I just have to wait it out until it "comes back" again, so there are a lot of ups and downs.

I am always thankful for your kindness and support, even if I step out of the loop for a while.

Hey sis, your threads always bring some great content to CC, whether they are serious or not, I always enjoy reading and contributing to them :)

Also, If ever you need someone to talk to when you “hit that state of mind”, I am here for you, even if you need prayers okay 💜

Yeah, what mel said.. I agree

Thanks for taking the time to share, for letting us see more of your beautiful mind.

I understand seasons of seriousness too. I totally get it.

You know, though, and this is 100% keeping it real. You, even when you step outside the loop, you are still smack dab in the middle. We, even us new comers, know you will be back because you are a BIG reason there is a circle of cc friends amongst us in the first place.

I liken it to when we get a flat tire and we pull over to do repairs, we know soon the car will be back on the road again, maybe even better than ever.

This site could be a Christian dating site for those inclined.

I don't think so, because everything would change. People would join up just for that purpose alone, that would cause good Christian fellowship to decline.

But I feel that things will still happen automatically. If someone likes someone's post or presence on here, then there is nothing to stop them from contacting the person. Nothing wrong with that.

But I don't think dating should be the main aim.

What I don't like on here is that everyone's profile is hidden. I don't know anything much about anyone. I don't know anyone's age or who is male or female.

I agree with you Kim. This "site" should not become a dating site, but, I do think that it is appropriate for this Tread .(and fun!) I have found that People are pretty open about themselves when you PM them.

I do wish we could see faces to names and learn more about peeps, not in a creeper way, just cuz it makes sense to me. I guess ppl are just cautious. I guess.... I do not know.

Hmm... when I read what I wrote, it sounds like I'm being a turd. I want to clarify this.

I'm not (at least intentionally) being terse with you. I'm being terse with tourist. He and his keep trying to pair me off with people. He deserves a bit of snark once in a while. It's only fair... he blithely ignores all my warnings about the flamethrower I use to deal with matchmakers.

Please don't take my smart remarks personally. I'm getting smart with him, not you.

Not at all! 😁😁😁 I actually was curious whether they did have ages on profiles. Mine doesn’t, and it seems neither does yours. The saved date seems to be the main thing, and I like that too 😁

You can set your profile to show your age, this can be done in your settings on your profile.

Although I don’t have my age showing, my name is a dead-give away of how old (or young lol) I am. 😁
