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
I got a bill in the mail from a lawyer threatening me, from a wireless company, a, ive never heard of ,nor ever used! Wtaf?

Thank you so much!
"Bring it" - I like that! A lot!
I've potted up more tomato and pepper starts than I can count over the last couple of days. There's something incredibly therapeutic about getting my hands in the dirt, planting tiny seeds, watching them turn into plants, and really just the whole process of growing them into beauty or food.
I was cleaning out my cactus and succulent greenhouse today... I have soooo many miniscule thorns in my fingers!! Tomorrow I am going back to the vegies!!
I love gardening, so rewarding. Great way to keep fit and de-stress.

Just recorded this new cheap/easy keto recipe: Vegetables stuffed with lupin and tuna
Note: you may want to replace lupin with quinoa, bulgur or rice and tuna with ground beef, for example.
That looks good. Hey, What’s your opinion on this Keto bread site? https://www.hero.co/products
Thanks!🤗
Regarding Hero bread, this looks interesting but…
How does it actually taste? When I need bread, I cook my buns or occasionally purchase this mix (at half price, as 7,55- for a small loaf is too expensive)…
It is expensive, for sure. Maybe I’ll make your buns. That’s the one thing I miss on Keto is bread and buns. Pasta I can live without but I’ve been buying very low carb tortillas and they are like soggy cardboard. I just want a bun with a burger!
Thanks for the input!
Can you find shredded lupin where you are?
I’ve never seen it but Whole Foods might have it.
Where everybody at?
Im tired my fren!! In about a month me and the hubs are heading to a cabin in the woods for a long weekend. Im so over everything, I feel like people everywhere are going crazy. I feel like the bottom is about to fall out and complete chaos is going to follow. Ive been trying to distract with starting plants, organizing and deep cleaning my house.
I can empathize.
Hope you enjoy that weekend in the woods, and can recharge.
Ty my fren!
Doing a great garden clear-up; planting new roses, shrubs, clematis and sowing veg seeds. Thank goodness I got and infra red light device to cope with the pain this has caused. Absolute life saver.
Just trying to keep head above water.
I've been laying low.
It's been a weird week capping off a stressful couple of months. I've been in need of some kind of personal "reset" and redirection. Been working too hard and too much and my family has had some deadlines that have had to be met. Still in the thick of it - actually in the thickest part of it right now. Good news is it will be over in a month or two, regardless since these things are on deadlines. One of those unavoidable watershed moments we all occasionally face.
Been very focused on prayer. Praying to focus on myself instead of others, which is difficult for me because I enjoy helping others, and frankly it's easier for me to help others than help myself. 😁
It's going fine, and I thank Jesus for all the insight and strength. And I feel he has put a handful of like-minded, spiritually strong people in my life to help, which is an enormous blessing, but I'm sure looking forward to when this stuff is done. It'll be refreshing.
Almost there!
Thanks for asking. ❤️😅☕
Broad question. My computer? kek Just got here.
By this time in the morning GC usually has twice as many comments. Truth Social is oddly quiet this morning, too.
Must be a change in energy...
Concur. Been feeling it for a few days now. Something? Nothing? We will find out one way or the other I suppose.
Ever roll your eyes so hard that you have trouble opening them again? I just did while listening to a Colbert monologue on Salty's stream. I've been rolling my eyes a lot the past couple of years. This was a bad case, though.
The Wise Collective gaol of ALL is for us to quickly unentangle ourselves where most corrosive.
Soon, each Nation can create a "Peace & )Love(" business harmonizing between the good Nations clubs. It will be a high standard and very well paid. The good ideas are going tonflow big time.

I heard last week a Bastyon client app is now available for iOS, so I got it. It’s decently responsive and offers all the features the website has plus it appears in the iOS sharing destinations, like Signal, Telegram, Twitter or Faceberg. Bastyon is a decentralized messenger app based on blockchain. Just look for me there. I am not really active at the moment as my darling forum is GAW, but I try to check once a day what happens there.👍🏻
My friend told me about this app last summer. I haven’t really tried to do anything there. My son just told me about Line. It’s a text app, I guess you’d call it. We installed it so we can talk to him when he goes to Thailand. We had problems communicating last time he was there. Have you heard of it?
No, not that one. Is it good?
It seems to be. He used it to call us from there last time he went. It came up as a local phone number when I received the call. I didn’t have it installed then but we were still able to talk on the phone. He could call me but I couldn’t call him. I think we should be able to send text and video when he goes back in April. I’ll let you know how it works then. That’s the real test!😊
I hope it works as I'd hate to see such a loving bound severed by faulty tech.
I hear that! Worst case scenario- we talk when he comes home three weeks later! This will be his second trip to Thailand. He’s planning on moving there eventually. He loves the culture. The people there are so polite. He said he could walk in downtown Bangkok in the middle of the night with no fear of crime. That’s saying a lot more than we could say about pretty much any big city here. I hope he finds a wife there!😉
