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 intergral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on it's 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
Well, I took a short break from GAW and a few other things I was spending to much time. Came here last week to post an update and I have to admit I did pop in to read the hot post. I've never been the type to bury my head in the sand. Edit: "Also, I believe the information overload was affecting me mentally and physically. There has been people in my family that had serious problems and wouldn't do anything about it. I spent so much time worrying about them I was making myself mentally sick. I had to give it to God. Now when my dad talks about my brother and fam I just listen." I just wish I could see the signs before I'm too far gone.
I'm back but now I realize I can't be here all day! I'm retired so it's easy for me to be here throughout the day. It had become like my way early days on Facebook. All day, check in as soon as I wake up and a quick look before sleep, while in bed.
Over the past month I've been cooking more than I've cooked in five years. I'm getting up around 8-9, early for me. Just three months ago I slept till 12 noon unless I had an appointment. I've always been a night owl and struggle to get going.
I don't know why I'm experiencing this change but I love it. Maybe the Moringa supplement I've been on since 11/22. I truly don't know and I'm not questioning it.
I've got a series amount of weight to lose. On a positive note my recent labs were good, even my BP was down to a good level and it's been up for at least ten years. I don't take BP RX.
I really missed y'all, especially the daily chat. It's wonderful to be apart of like minded people from all over the world. Doesn't matter if we know what the other looks like or personal information.
Blessings to all and I hope you are having a great day.
