Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Don't ask how this came up but I am suddenly reminded of the time a female friend (who was firmly in MY friend zone and not getting beyond that, before this incident - our last) came over to hang out. So she brought her dog unannounced - she totally played the "if it's not cool I can take her home" thing - well yeah you live opposite side of town, it's fine.
After awhile, she mentioned something about the dog "bleeding" - I was like what is it hurt? "No." [Looking at me like I'm a total idiot.] Pause. OK what then? "It's that time of the month."
What kind of idiot brings a MENSTRUATING DOG over to your damn house and lets it just wander around without telling you? That kind, as it turns out.
That person was never your friend.
OK since the "don't ask" part invites way too much speculation, it's actually pretty boring. I had one of those "this word doesn't look right" so looked up "diaper" and Wikipedia entry was a top hit. In which I learned some enlightened people (i.e. not my former friend) actually use animal diapers specifically for this.
