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
Should you ever be so unfortunate as to end up in Shreveport, LA, at dinner time, Ernest's is outstanding dining. Just outstanding.

In the community where I work, the panhandlers at the stop lights have taken a very organized turn. They've only shown up in the last year and the area is very well-heeled. They switch out every few days; the signs asking for money are laminated; and recently I've seen one wearing green neon socks, making him really stand out.
Last week I saw one really getting angry, waiving his arms and yelling at the cars. Sure, he may have been high or psychotic, but I couldn't help but wonder if he was getting really frustrated that he wasn't getting any handouts and wasn't hitting his numbers. The people who live in the community are not happy about having people beg for money, and I suspect they don't give much.
Never saw people begging for money using marketing techniques before
I used to live in San Antonio, and I worked as a psych RN. My patients used to tell me they could make $400/ day panhandling in certain intersections. Are the people you are seeing from your area?
Great question. Hard to know.
Ive had covid and cellulitis all week. Trying ti figure out how to work my way tonthe bottom of the couch with the least pain.
Anyone got a cure for cellulitis? This hurts
I've had a horrible bug and was laid up for a couple weeks. I finally figured out I have two different situations going on. Took the horse paste (ivermectin) to solve one and started a track of antibiotics for my sinus infection. I'm not the go to the doctor type but I'm feeling WAY better after busting out the heavy artillery.
I've had covid twice and it was nothing compared to this crap that dropped me. I guess I'm getting old.
You need to go to the doctor. Right away. I need to give you an anabiotic for that.
I use essential oils...here is some info...

Even if you use antibiotics EO's can be very helpful in the healing process...but there are a lot of safety issues you always have to respect...
Sure hope you find some relief...bacterial infections are tough to treat...if you take antibiotics be sure to take some probiotics to help replenish your good bacteria in your gut, as an anti-biotic wipes out good and bad bacteria and you need the good bacteria to help heal and stay healthy...
Cellulitis is a bacterial infection under the skin ,probably going to need antibiotics. I suggest you mark the area of redness so you can see how it's spreading and how quickly . It's very painful. Take care.
Some suggestions...although I have never treated cellulitis...

Thank you!! This is really painful
Shit, I'm sorry you're dealing with that❤
God winked at me again: The sun reflection between the sun and the tree is not an artefact: I witnessed it exactly as it is.

Beautiful wink...love the countryside...
I find it fascinating that I am around Cluny the day we celebrate the Abbey’s founder.
I started taking boron every day on you guys' recommendations, because apparently one of its uses is boosting testosterone--and being in my 40s, I could really use that.
6 milligrams a day, from the NOW brand.
And I've started getting pimples again.
Is this good?
Teenagers, who have the highest hormonal levels and libido, tend to get pimples. So I guess its working? (Dont take my advice, I am not a doctor, lol)
Do you feel like you are sweet 16?....I would not want pimples....I think different people react differently to boron...look up "the boron conspiracy" online and check for any suggestions or change in dose etc.
Or check this site...

This comment is a great example of what makes you so interesting and precious to us, Dear!🤗💐
Thank you Penisse...I loved growing up...but would not want to revisit that time except in my memories...how about you? The older I get the more precious and enjoyable my memories are...I can see why older folks like to sit and rock on the front porch...just remembering..what a precious gift from God....ergo the song..."Precious Memories"
It took me a long time to switch from re-experiencing a failed argument to just think about something and use my knowledge to decode it. I believe accepting Christ helped me a lot in this matter: I don’t need to « fix a poor argument » if I just don’t start one.
I'm well aware of The Borax Conspiracy. I'm just not in a position right now to mix borax into my drinking water--maybe at some point in the future. For now, the boron pills. Might increase dosage later.
And no, I don't feel sweet 16. For one, I need to lose about 50 pounds--going for a brisk run every day and cutting down portions will help with that, since I don't have a weight set. And I certainly don't feel as, uh, horny as I did then.
Go keto and alternate fasting. It works: been 10 years doing that.
What is alternate fasting...like a 1-3 day fast?
No, it’s allowing oneself x hours a day to eat, in my case, x is usually less than one hour and I don’t even snack during the remaining time.
Which means beside lunch, I simply do not eat. This actually made my nightly back ache disappear as it was due to the acidic reaction occurring at night because of my stomach digesting.
Wow...I never heard of that extreme. I do the intermittent fast...eating 2 meals over an approximately 6-8 hour window and that sometimes can even be less time...but NEVER just an hour...
I truly believe eating a lot less food is very healthy...I feel much better with less...I may cut my eating window back but don't believe I could only eat once a day..That must take a lot of discipline...but good for you if it works...
During Lent and Advent, when I also abstain from the evening drink with my wife, it takes an extra effort, especially when it’s cold but once it’s there, it does work. It makes every meal a celebration.
I actually do that and it is quite easy...I just throw a measuring cup with about 1/4 c. water in the microwave for about 25 seconds then I stir in 1/8 tsp. of 20 mule team borax...then I put it in my 20 oz. water bottle along with Aloe Vera and ACV. It is SO easy....but I could see taking a pill...if that is more convenient. It is probably easier to adjust the amount of powder if there is a problem, tho....I take lots of other supplements so I like something different...
Actually apple cider vinegar helps you lose weight and keeps your body slightly alkaline. Also look at intermittent fasting for weight loss...I eat in an 6-8 hour window...usually two meals because I am older...and then only drink water the rest of the time...it allows your body 16+ hours to heal and reset. You will feel good with less food and a body that is working more optimally. You can change to fit your needs...Dr. Berg has some terrific videos online about this. I have enjoyed eating like that for a while now...
Good luck with your endeavors...
During a short stint of injecting testosterone cyprionate, even at a low dose pimples became abundant. Might be a good sign.
