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.

Hey men: what's the top 3 important things to you in a woman? Also, what's your ideal body type?? 😁
edit- a trannie fake woman downvoted me!
Personality wise? Silly and playful, endlessly loyal, and lovingly kind. Like a puppy. Blonde in spirit even when her hair is purple or brunette
Ideal body type? Lower end of plus size, really soft and warm. Long while still being short, with legs that belong on a 5'9 girl on a 5'4. Banana curvy like hips. And a hyperfeminine, non angular, girly face. .
Just described my wife, my ultimate dream girl
Go on then:
Intelligence, sense of humour and confidence
Medium body type, strong and practical.
I’d add loyal.

📍Not sure if it's ok to post this prayer request here ~ my apologies if not, I'm just having a bit of a panic & need some prayers for my very sweet Mom 🤗💗🙏🕊️
🙏Like the title says, I'm asking for Prayers for my Mom - she is in really good health, especially for being 78. She has a heart murmur since childhood & the last few weeks she has felt "a flutter" sometimes with "a bruised feeling" but not sharp or bad pain.
Anyway, she had 2 EKGs 2 weeks ago at our doctor's appointment, he ordered a monitor for her to wear for several days & it was sent to the lab in Illinois this past Monday but haven't heard from them yet.
Today, Sunday April 30th, my husband came home early from work bc she called & asked him to be with me since she was going ahead & going to the hospital for chest pain. I'm sorry I'm rambling, she is my very best friend & my personal hero.
She is an absolute 🇺🇸🦅PATRIOT & LOVES🤗💖our United States of America. She prays for the Great Awakening & the saving of America EVERY SINGLE DAY ~
Please, if you have a moment or a prayer group at your Church, say a prayer for her health & for the medical personnel watching over her.
ThanQ so much & God Bless & Protect Us ALL 🥰💖🤗💗🙏🕊️🐸🦅🗽⚖️🇺🇸🗺️
Prayers sent up Sister :-)
Wife and daughter on a "girls" trip to Greece. I pray for their safety in travel...as well as their proximity to Ukraine.
Meanwhile, I am on a one man mission to make our house look like a better homes and garden magazine layout by the time they get home.
I could never. Wow. If my wife went to the next city over without me I would cry
Make a fake instagram account so you can follow the girly decor accounts for ideas without your own browsing history getting wrecked
Got a little fish pond front courtyard thing that needs spruced up. Then the back, and then...clean the bathroom. Toilet, shower scum, and all.
How's everyone doing today?
Any plans?
Me? Going to rest and relax. Lol.
I am proud of you for doing your own Indian cuisine! It is still a challenge for me.
Having to push through some pain and its raining so I cant garden. Singing in the kitchen, resting my joints and smoking one too.
Today I went to church and it was very uplifting. I’m grateful I have a Bible base to church to attend.
I’m pet sitting right now, so I was up yesterday at the crack. Went to my friends house at 7 AM, finished painting, a garage, came back to where I was pet sitting, and jumped in the pool. It was so refreshing.
I was just laughing out loud because it’s out in the middle of nowhere’s ville! I ask myself how do I deserve this great life that I have. Because Jesus loves me!
Hope you have the best rest of your weekend
I was reading about jab deaths... it's sad. It's even sadder to me when the suddenly ded were such colossal asses towards others choosing not to get it.
The range of emotion towards them has been pretty wide, I've felt it all towards them, confusion, anger, compassion, disgust sympathy now it just sadness.
I tell you what, the survivors of all this will have a fierce passion for freedom and life and will never be coerced or "governed" again.
I heard With wisdom comes sorrow. It's true.
Generations to follow will raise up their kids with this wisdom so they don't have to go through this sorrowful part.
vaxx deaths?
Yes!! I fixed it, thanks
Since I've heard so many conflicting answers here, including that sunscreen itself may be toxic, let's discuss:
How do you REALLY prevent sunburn?
I grew up in Huntington Beach. I never wear sunscreen. I did put a lot of oil on my skin, so I was baking myself. I’ve never wore sunscreen on my face, or over my whole body. I’m headed to Kauai for six weeks, and they don’t like people to wear sunscreen there, because it destroys the reefs. If it destroys the wreaths? Then what is it doing to our skin directly? I don’t advise wearing it. Put on a hat, put on some sunglasses, and if you want to cover your skin, we’re longer slaves. But if you’re out swimming, you’re gonna get sun, and guess what… It’s actually good for you.
We need sunshine to get our vitamin D but, we don't need a lot of it at a time. I try to get at least 15 minutes of sun every day when the sun is directly overhead. Not only does it boost the vitamin D. I also look up at the sky in the direction of the sun, not directly at it in order to get the bright light into my eyes. This resets our inner clock, the circadian rhythm, that regulates sleep. I also have bare feet on the ground so it's a 3-fer. Getting these small amounts of sun daily slowly tans my skin without burning. I use no sunscreen.
Getting daily sunlight, and grounding is hugely important. I’ve been doing more of grounding lately. It seems to be helping a lot! Thanks for your post was very educational
No, just walking barefoot on the ground at least 10 minutes a day. Preferably grass or dirt. It could be on cement but I don’t think it’s as effective!
However, I just watched a video the other day about a gentleman who actually put wires into the ground, and then put them through his window into his bed, he would sleep with this type of grounding… And it began to heal different things in his body.
They started doing some research on this, and they were 60 other people who had reduced symptoms and illnesses because of it. Interesting stuff.
Yeah, I used to have a really bad problem with my right foot. I had to wear shoes everywhere. I couldn’t walk, barefoot. It was excruciatingly painful.
But I finally got my foot surgery, and my foot is doing 100% better. I can walk fantastically now. Headed to Kauai to do some hiking and swimming. Anyway, I hardly ever wear shoes only if it’s absolutely necessary. I wear sandals everywhere and go barefoot because I can now.
I spent 150 bucks on a pair of really kick ass tennis shoes. If I need to walk, a lot, or be somewhere in public, wear sandals are not good to wear, I wear these tennis shoes. The sandals that I wear I put arch supports in them. They stick to the sandal, so they work perfectly.
If you can take your shoes off, walk around, barefoot! It feels so freeing.
God bless and have a great day!
I dont use sunscreen since luckily my skin is dark and I come from a place where people have been working in the hot sun all day long for centuries.
My wife found some sunscreen without suspicious chemicals from Korea/Japan. She is also a human toxin detector, and these sun screens dont trigger anything, so should be safe.
I guess the real idea would be to compare disease rates between USA and Japan/Korea
In Japan and Korea people especially women use high spf advanced chemical sunscreens (rated PA++ and usuallu full spectrum) even on normal shady days, not just beach days
They have done this for decades. If their disease rates are lower than ours, then quite possibly we can trust reputable brands like Shiseido and Missha as long as they are made in Japan or Korea
Very observant
I have a serious reaction to UV from the sun, due to Lyme. I dress like a Bedouin to garden, everything is covered, I still cannot tolerate it during peak 11 am - 3 pm on a cloudless day. I use UV protective clothing, wear gloves. It's a heartbreaker, because I have worked so hard and changed my life to care for difficult people in my home so that I could afford this 5 acres and continue to grow food and herbs and berries, etc, and age and my own disease limits the time I can do what I love. Enough complaining though, what I have some people dream about. Cover yourself, wear a UV protective hat, long sleeves, and dont lay out in the sun to get "tan". Desert people from hot places have always covered themselves, people in hot places take a break, called a siesta in Spanish. For Vitamin D it only takes 15 minutes of exposure to get what you need, I eat foods with it in it and take a supplement, because just 2 minutes of exposure can ruin my day.
I'm sure you have heard of this before, but have you looked up ivermectin as a Lyme disease treatment?
I have, but I developed something called Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, I cannot take or do anything that would cause a possible Herz reaction, I may not survive it. After doing a parasite protocol for the Lyme bacteria, I ended up in the ER needing a bolus of super antihistamine with a steroid, I was head to toe hives, serious, all over, and my pulse was over 150 with a b/p of 83/36, it was BAD. The mast cells can react to anything they see as a threat, things that did not bother me when I was younger, whatever the cleanse did to cause the herz die off triggered the immune defense. So I manage it with an a simple protocol , and a very restricted diet. In 6 months my doc says it should calm down enough to proceed slowly. It is one day at a time and pure but simple foods, Claritin, Pepcid a/c and an asthma med, Singular, and enough supplements to choke a horse. I think I take in more vitamins than I do food. My doc is a godsend and believes in many things, but with MCAS, I have to tread carefully and not try to get well all at once. Right now it is management. Thank you though, for considering this.
Oh, that sounds like a real obstacle course! Lyme disease sounds really life affecting.
I have my own affliction which is under control now but for a few years I had to wear dark polarised glasses much of the time to avoid triggering grand mal seizures. I still avoid certain conditions.
it's totally different but I know what it's like to have a constant life affecting condition.
Good morning. Sunday morning! 😉😄
