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
Went to a Mother's Day cookout at my SIL's house this weekend. EVERYONE of them (9 people including the other sister's family) ran out to get the required injections more than a year ago and there was a fair amount of push back against my wife and I for not getting them for us or our kids. They seem uncomfortable anytime Covid comes up in conversation since they remember how we warned them all.
The topic of The Simpson's cartoon came up with my BIL and my nephew. Nephew says how strange it is that they predict everything. I asked him "why do you think that is?"
He said "Either very lucky or Illuminati".
"There you go" I replied.
Or the fact that there's are hundreds of episodes. They'll get a hit pretty often.
