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 have had the same concerns about shedding. I didn't have the same experience as you with family. We got together and most of the family didn't seem concerned my immediate family wasn't vaxxed. My MIL gave my husband hell every time she saw him about getting it. She didn't bother me because she knew I'd say crap she didn't want to hear. My husband finally told her it wasn't happening and she finally gave up. Few times she got really rude to him and another sibling. She's almost 80 and was a nurse so she doesn't think the medical society can do anything wrong. I finally stopped worrying about shedding. I put it in God's hands. He's gotten me this far. I get not wanting to be around someone that treated you bad about your personal health decisions. I'm not sure how I'd handle that.
