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
so... are the 10 days of darkness different from after the storm? I am a little confused. NAN (Not a Newbie)
Funniest joke heard today:
It is not like Kamala has a hard job. It is like being a toll collector in an easy pass lane.
this one is different/will get you thinking; what do many of these people have in common..make sure to watch at least 3/4 of commercial for surprise:)

😁 serendipity at 3:02. And he wasn't smiling like the rest of them were. Enjoy the show? I wonder if these are some of the people he controls now. Or maybe all the jailed/eliminated ones that have been replaced by masked actors and/or CGI. Went back and watched it at 0.25 speed and it's kinda creepy, frankly.
My husband works his butt off for his company and his paycheck sure doesn't reflect it, even after getting a 4/4 on his work evaluation, he's not even seeing a raise from it. Insurance has gone up, not sure how much, and I assume they are taxing him out the wazoo. We've had to dig so deep into our savings and it sucks. I think I will have to find at least a part time job, but that won't pay for care my son needs when I'm at work and have extra left, so I will have to get a full time job to afford it. I don't want it to be permanent, but I need to help us get out of debt and save up. That helps me mentally.
It's too bad [they're] messing everything up so bad that our investments don't pay off and we have to live paycheck to paycheck. This is the first time in years we've had to. I know others have it way worse than we do. It's maddening that the thieves and parasites are living off the backs of the populace.
God bless you in your struggles.
I know a few stay at home moms and dads who have tried working the door dash thing with some success, perhaps you could look into that. I asked specifically about taking ones kids along with you while doing the runs, because that's something I'd be interested in too. They said it's possible, but all of them choose / have the luxury of leaving their children with family, so they all do it solo. Lucky.
Then again if you're rural, it may not even be a possibility. Hang in there.
A rival company pays so much better, but it's harder to get in there as they hire from within first. He even said he would take a demotion where he is because he'd make more money with commission and wouldn't have to deal with all the issues he currently does as a manager. The turnover rate there is pretty bad as it is in much of the service industry.
For those here who once enjoyed sports

Excellent mini documentary about Bird VS Jordan made by a fan
It is better than anything I have ever seen on TV and really puts Bird into perspective. I was barely born back then so it was great seeing old footage.

Worse than that is the sound your sink makes when a spoon is being hacked to bits by the disposal. That’s the worst sound, imho.
I love it when a video ends exactly how you thought it would. LMAO

I just bought that book by James W. Lee. Fascinating what they are doing to us!
Went to a meeting of a local beekeeping association this evening. First time, planning on joining. I'm such a noob vis-a-vis taking proper care of mah bees.
On that note, remember: when the shite hits the fan, the only real way through all the nonsense will be community. For some, they may be holed up in a mountain lodge or isolated away from the rest of the population, self-sufficiently, but if (or when) currency becomes useless, hyperinflation hits, you cannot eat your silver, or your crypto, or your ammo, or your guns.
Build community using every opportunity. There are LOTS of awake people around. You just have to find them and connect.
think you're definitely on the right track, we're headed back to a simpler time for awhile. the way our founding fathers imagined it. be able to take care of ourselves rather than relying on 'government'...many in the midwest have already been living that way, so we won't be starting from scratch.

About George Washington;
"He filled his library with the latest agricultural treatises and pioneered land-management techniques that he hoped would guide small farmers, strengthen agrarian society, and ensure the prosperity of the nation."
I did a similar thing with a local automotive club a few weeks ago after one of my apprentice buddies recommended it. We ended up meeting in a local park's parking lot (everyone was asked to bring their own chairs), then talked about the recent changes to winter tires and the possible new type of wheel rim coming out. I doubt it'll be a weekly thing for me as a ton of people were staring down my car and one was asking if it was for sale (apparently a 2006 corolla with only 80,000km and most of the original parts is a "dream car"), but it did add some variety.
I joined a natural beek group, felt as though I'd found my tribe at last. Fascinating hobby but realised it was not for me: too much to learn, expensive to set up, even experienced beeks lose colonies and neither my garden or veg patch are suitable. Shame..
Has anyone found the following missing people?
George Soros, John Fetterman, Mitch McConnell.
Has Jimmy Carter died yet?
We may never know.
I don't know. And what has happened to Diane Feinstein too? Have you seen any pictures of these people since their so-called illnesses?
Starting to look like the dominoes are falling... Keep praying and declare Ps 94 daily!
Yes ma'am.
I was wondering about McConnell too. The treatment for a concussion is rest, (i.e. nothing).
Plus they didn't say he HAD a concussion, they said they were treating him for one.
Then there was a report that some high level Americans were killed in Ukraine. Hmmmm, makes ya wonder....
As far as I know there is no rehab for concussion as I had one falling on my hardwood floor about 13 years ago. I still suffer the effects at night when rolling to my right side. When it happened the room spun, I couldn't look up without my head spinning and I couldn't look down either. It was a nightmare. Don't think McConnell is getting treated for a concussion without full rest and time. And then sometimes it doesn't go completely away. He's probably at a Military Tribunal as we speak. This is my prayer for these missing people.
Concussions are rough, it's just odd they didn't say he actually had one, only being treated for it.... that would bury him a lot of time..... my wish is also for a tribunal :). I hope they're filming it :)
I don't want to miss anything either. I want to see it all.
Anyone and everyone who is getting too worked up or overwhelmed over the absolute barrage of news we are experiencing right now is advised to take the next few days or a whole week off from GAW to refresh and reload.
The war will continue after you come back.
When things get too hot I come here and find comfort.
No way - this movie is finally getting spicy. :)
Good advice ;). It's hard tho because we seem so close now. I need to remember to pace myself and get away from FOMO...
Part of the problem is we are years ahead on information and this is a very slow process...
I don't think it's 's gonna unfold as fast as when we were learning about them. But man it sure is interesting to watch tho :)
The drip drip drip flood I have been waiting for I always figured happened relatively fast but if each drip is a huge complicated thing that normies need to grasp like the banking situation, the jab, the Pedo/Predator Problem, Ukraine/Russia and everything that goes along with each, That pushes the timeline out much farther.
It sucks, but if it's the only way our kids & grandkids have a clean, safer world to thrive in, so be it. It is what it is - and is for the children after all.
