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 guess this would be the place to ask for prayer, which is something I would in most cases never be able to bring myself to do (feels like I'm bugging people with better things to do). But I'm in a pickle, one that not many outside of this group would fully appreciate. I work for one of the major corporations, not a particularly woke or unwoke one. That isn't the issue directly. To make a long story short I injured myself the other day at work, not bad enough that I can't come in but bad enough that it should probably be looked at (possible cracked or broken rib). Problem is they can and at least last I recall usually do drug test after these incidents. I don't use cannabis at the sort of rates I did in my teens and early 20s but I do rely on a 50/50 CBD/THC vape cart with a full CBD cart to fill in the gaps. Point is I would more than likely fail that drug test without a few days to clean out. I also know that this company, like most, would like to throw out the workers at the top of the pay scale and replace them with new hires. More importantly my car is covered in Q and other similar stickers so I may have people in management who would like an opportunity to boot me. Most people would call me paranoid for worrying about that but I know how "those types" operate and I also know our overall manager is ultra-normie fan of masks type. PLUS if I'm not here the day before and after Memorial Day I lose holiday pay.
So I haven't said a word yet. My plan is to bring it up on Thursday (my next scheduled day after Memorial Day) and act as if it seemed minor at the time and I'm just now noticing the pain. Sorry for the long story but I don't condense things very well, and thank you if you took the time to read this or say a prayer for my situation. Things will work out one way or the other, I know God has His plan, but I certainly appreciate any extra support.
I can pray for you but also, it seems like a cracked rib might heal up well on it’s own. I don’t think they do a whole lot for that except pain management. I’ve done it, it hurts but Aleve and similar might take care of it, along with rest. Not a doctor, just thinking this all may not be worth the worry as far as a drug test goes. Rest, pray on it, take some OTC pain reliever.
Saw my first job ad yesterday that included "Are you vaccinated?" For. a. virtual. job.
Maybe an IQ test?
This Memorial Day weekend I remember all the warriors for Freedom.
u/#ridetofreedom
The names from the Revolution to today should be recited aloud at every service on the weekend. From the war between the states to Afghanistan, the casualties have been for the enrichment of a few and the advancement of evil. I believe we have one more war to fight and, unlike the others, it is righteous, good vs. evil. The good must prevail.
Kash Patel is selling a shirt that just says "Impeach Him" with a pic of an ice cream cone. Brilliance.
I would start getting nervous when he gets impeached.
No one asked me why I would start getting nervous. The reason is simple. It means we are getting closer to the precipice with the enemy with no plan, at their wits end, and backed to the wall, like a desperate cornered wilde beast, can lash out in anyway. I am sure even the WHs would be a bit nervous at that point simply out of abundance of caution.
I thought you were getting nervous because that would leave the cackler as the resident.
not int he least. She will go when he goes.
Please explain.
Is there a link to a compilation of comedians dying to "Staying Alive"? I came across it and cant find it again.
If you would be interested in coming on the show let me know. We would love to have you and won't force you to reveal any info you don't want to, you can do voice only if u choose as well. We would love to hear your testimony and talk about our amazing savior. Testimony is a powerful thing. Love you all

On this episode we speak with Marcia Applegate, one of my good friends and fellow members at Immanuel Church. We hear Marcia's story of growing up in an Orthodox Judaism household and what lead her to hearing Christ's voice and ultimately turning her heart to Him. Marcia describes her family's reaction to her testimony and how she chose Jesus over anyone else. We then talk about what is means being a Messianic Jew and then we dive into some controversial topics that are highly debated regarding Judaism in today's current time.
Thank you for tuning in! Together through Christ we have endless potential.

THIS is how I have been spending my days. I try to go Turtling three days a week, and then I take other people with me so they can have the same enjoyment. I finally got my GoPro working, and figured out how to get the videos to my phone.

I live in Kauai part time. My family owns a home here and I house sit for them and do home repairs. I come twice a year, and stay for 6 to 8 weeks at a time. It’s such a blessing from the Lord, and I am so grateful for the Christian community that I have here on this island.
What a wonderful way to spend your time! Are you scuba diving or snorkeling?
Just snorkeling at Anini beach. There’s no waves, it’s just smooth water. If you go at low tide, which I do, you could be pretty far out and still stand up. This is helpful for older people or people who are not great swimmers so if they get tired, they can still feel safe. It’s a great little beach. I love it there. However; I have considered the scuba diving, but I’d like to get certified before I do something like that. The thing about Anini beach, is, there’s no sharks there because there’s a reef between the shore and the big wide open ocean. It’s safe there. We’ll see what happens with that scuba diving though. I have plenty of friends here that have boats or a way to get out on the water. Without it costing an arm and a leg. Literally! Lol.
I guess it’s no laughing matter, because my family that lives here is actually related to Bethany Hamilton. She’s a girl who lost her arm to a shark attack when she was about 13 years old. She went on to continue to be a formidable surfing contender. She’s married now with kids, but she does some type of a ministry where she helps amputees deal with their loss of a limb.
Entire family is very strong Christians, and that’s how they got through everything. Her and her husband have been on the amazing race twice, and voted one of the best top 10 couples. She’s an awesome human being. I just put it that way.
I'm older and not great in summer: I tend to fall asleep when it's hot.
How much $$$ exactly?
Sorry, it’s supposed to say not great swimmers. Siri!
I don’t charge money. I just do it for friends, or people who are friends of mine, who have family members in town. It’s just a great activity, and sometimes people are afraid to go into the ocean. Especially if they’re older. I spend an hour of time out there with them. I use my GoPro and take videos too. If we can’t find turtles right away, I’ll swim around until I can locate them, or talk to other swimmers and ask them where they’ve seen them.
I just love doing this. I go at least three times a week anyway, so why not bring somebody with? However; once my mom passes, I may consider moving here with my family, and doing something like this as a side gig. Just seeing how things work out doing it for free for now.
Affordable is supposed to be a formidable.
Word on the street is I'm going to some tropical island for my next podcast episode 😉🤣😂
Lol! Looking forward to it. Were you able to see the video? I don’t know how all the stuff works.
I opened up a cat box mow account, so I can post videos and pictures here, but I don’t know how to work it. I guess I’m just retarded. Is there another platform that I can use.
just go to files.catbox.moe and upload mp4 video!
Can you see the video?
https://files.catbox.moe/cuaf8n.MOV
Great vid!
Yeah but since its mov file it tries to download. If you upload it as mp4, then it will be best.
Isn’t there another one you can use, that people don’t use anymore. I remember when I went to January 6. There was one that I use but I don’t remember the name. Oh well life goes on.
Thanks for the help though. I appreciate it.
streamable.com ?
That’s a streamable! Thank you so much. I’m so glad you remembered for me.
OK well I don’t know how to do that. So I’ll just delete my post. I only have my phone to use.
I uploaded the file but it’s just sitting there in that little blue box then what do I do?
Gosh, am I first, today? Well, it's good morning from Crete. (The original Crete island in the Mediterranean - not the American town or the Italian town named after it.)
It's 7.30 am and the sky is overcast with a hint of rain. Unsurprising considering the "geoengineering" that's been going on. I suspect that it's centred on us because of the American base at Souda Bay. But who knows why they spray the sky with white powder?
