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 just wanted to say thank you for everybody. Who’s praying praying for my daughter.
Another big praise report!
I spoke to my daughter on the phone yesterday, and she mentioned to me that she started following a Pastor on Instagram to get a better understanding about me and my mom regarding her LGBT identifying.
To get a better understanding of our Christianity, she actually went back to her youth pastor and his wife, and met with them and had a 3 hour conversation regarding everything that’s going on in the world, and how to deal with my mom and I.
She also made cookies from my mom’s Thursday morning Bible study group last week.
A while back, I finally gave up on her, and gave it all to the Lord. I said Lord… Only you can fix this. she is still all in on this LGBT issue. Yesterday God winked at me, and told me this is how I’m working.
I just wanted to say how grateful I am for all of your prayers, and if we can continue to pray for her to find her way back to the Lord. She claims that she wasn’t seeking God, that she just needed advice. But we know what the truth is.
I am so grateful that she sees so much of Jesus in my mom and myself, that she needs to find a pastor from her past youth, to try and explain it all to her. Thank you Jesus.
So a bunch of things have happened in the past week or so, may as well seperate/share them (it may seem weird using this chat to share my life stories like a "blog", but I've found it allows me to maintain my goals):
-After the death of one of my close family members due to a heart attack my "paying it forward" charity work is off to a breakneck start. I have an interview next week for the local big brothers/big sisters chapter which would have me mentoring the child of a single mother/giving them the "father experience" they wouldn't normally have.
-On the same vein the city approved my request for a plaque-bench to be placed in one of the local parks in tribute to her. It'll cost me nothing, will only cost them about $400, and is a huge win for the park as it's been sorely lacking places to sit down (it's about 1.5 square kilometers yet has 1 bench in the entire thing)
-One of my buddies introduced me to "Tinder", but being a boomer I got it backwards and accidentally ended up with a dozen or so DM's from fat ugly chicks. I know better for next time, but it was hilarious seeing all the people I didn't want to see after half an hour.
This is why Genchat is here.
Privileged to have you share some of your life stories.
Garth Brooks is having trouble selling tickets to his next concert. teehee
Some people never learn. I actually find this amusing just as much as you do.
Report nudity video (not even picture) on Twitter, this is respond I got … https://files.catbox.moe/0qby73.jpeg
For what its worth, nudity is not against their terms.
They allow 13 yrs old to use it though
Good point. So this is not an issue to be reported (the reply you got is rather expected), but rather push for changing their terms in terms of what kind of material is available for minors. Perhaps tweeting to Elon is a better idea.
on NBC the reporter had to say how peaceful and orderly Trump supporters are
thats great to hear that there were supporters, getting to this experience level and seeing the numbers really is great. For more realism, pick up the old testament and see how the prophets did their work among the people.
to me, there is not much difference between now and the time of Nebanchendezzar.
updoogle for "old testament"
The media is acting like arraigned is arrested.
The walls are closing in cucks. Do it Q.
Dave is back on Twitter @realX22report
Interesting timing.
I listen to his show every night when I’m going to sleep. It helps put me to sleep, but I also think I’m subliminally getting the messages. I usually listen for 15 minutes before I conk out.
Little known fact:
If you cut an onion in half, then cut off the tail end of the onion, and peel it with the root end intact, and only then chop it up, you will experience very little eye-liquid-inducing onion action and vapors.
Even so, these damn onions.....
Thank you so much that was very HEARTFELT ❤️💕
What a lovely, uplifting little song. It puts such a smile on my face, and made me realize that, even though none of us have met, we really are friends in a special kind of way. Thank you for pointing that out, and I appreciate you as well.
God bless you and have a great day with you and your family.
Ps. I’m still willing to make those cookies for you! Now that I did an episode of Prayer Garden, you can see I’m a real person and not a fed! When I get back to Arizona, let me know if you want me to, and I will. With cherries and everything!
Thank you from my wife and I.
"I'D LIKE TO LOSE IT ALL.."
I know we will be here no matter what
TY RTT ILY 🤩
welll i'll try not to encourage you to break it on me. but ILY RTT TY hope alls well c:
I love you too and I'm stoked that I'm on your list!
I meant to go down to Miami today. Too slow!
Thanks for your honesty.
Lost almost all of it.
More than many, brother.
Life is ruined.
Patently false. Life is eternal. I mean that spiritually, but also - as one hard working man to another - simply metaphorically. Days come and go. Some, like these, feel horrible. They are all blessings.
I found God for a while but it isn't working anymore.
I only pray for something good happens one day or I pray to God it is over soon for me.
Keep praying. It's never been in your hands alone. God's plan is His plan.
I know we here are with you as much as possible. I'm truly feeling you, and I'm saying my prayer for you.
Sending love, stay strong. WWG1WGA 🙏
My prayers go up as well to whoever needs them. You know who they are. So does our Lord and Savior
I woke up on the wrong side.
Thanks bro.
Was hoping man. 💪🙏

On this episode we speak with my friend Michelle (ThisIsHowItStarts on communities.win). Michelle and I met about three years ago on .win as she helped support and encourage the idea of the prayer thread which eventually grew into the Prayer Garden. We learn about her difficult childhood which directed her to the path of Christ and salvation. We also discuss how to lean on Jesus when battling depression and how the church can improve when helping one another through that kind of darkness. Ultimately, we hear Michelle's testimony how surrounding yourself with the Word and other believers is the path to victory in Jesus.
Thank you for tuning in! Together through Christ we have endless potential.

Thank you so much! The spiritual battle going into this was unbelievable. Thank you for sharing with others! Ryan has been very dedicated to this, Prayer Garden, and to the Lord, and I appreciate everything that he does. Shout out to Ryan Selecta!
Thanks for watching and for the kind words. I'm truly blessed to be able to do them and excited to watch them grow as the Lord sees fit. Much love. God bless
BLUE Any color blue
Light blue Royal blue Turquoise blue
I love blue!
Bright purple please .
Thank you! 🙂
Mighty presumptuous of you to assume I have footwear that uses laces! /s The only laces I have are on hunting boots. So I guess I have to go with blaze orange? Or buckskin. I won't argue with an elf. They freak me out.
KEK. Not at that age yet. Slip on steel toe work boots or cowboy boots.
I only have one pair of gravity defy athletic shoes that I got for my feet after my foot surgery. They are light blue, and I love them, and they are great.
But for the record, I hate shoelaces. I hate the people that invented them, and just trying to get my shoes on in the past. It would take me 20 minutes. I’ve had a lot of problem with my feet.
Anyway, I wear sandals. All the time even in the winter. In Hawaii I wear sandals everywhere I go, unless it’s hiking and I put on my swimming. Hiking shoes. They don’t have real laces, just the one of those little released pulley locks!
I’ve never been a fan of athletic shoes. Never. I think most of them are so ugly. And I hate laces! Arg laces!
Used to it I guess. IDK? There is always barefoot or sandals if I'm lounging or recreating. Maybe I should actually try a pair of sneakers one day and live in what I can assume is glorious foot comfort.
Elven green
Pink, obviously. Got to be as loud as possible.
But my wife and I have been wearing Birkenstocks for the past two years so no laces. My wife probably won't wear sneakers ever again until the medbeds fix her bunion and if the medbeds give her perfect indestructible feet, she would probably wear nothing but the craziest looking high heels
You can actually have foot surgery for bunions and it’s not that big of a deal. I highly recommend. Living with that pain is not worth it. Give it a try. I’ve had it done more than once. Get it. I have 2 feet. L O L.
That's my kind of lady. 👀💪
By finding all those 'Classified' documents at Biden's house and several other locations, at Pence's house, and then the declassed ones at President Trump's; has anyone thought to ask if perhaps Dick Cheney may have some floating around inside his house? I just contacted my Congressman James Comer and asked that very question.
I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes. That way I wouldn't have to have any goddam stupid useless conversations with anybody. If anybody wanted to tell me something, they'd have to write it on a piece of paper and shove it over to me. They'd get bored as hell doing that after a while, and then I'd be through with having conversations for the rest of my life. Eveybody'd think I was just a poor deaf-mute bastard and they'd leave me alone.
Sell pens and lollipops for authenticity
That's the second book reference I've posted that you didn't catch the reference to.
You would definitely expect some big fireworks by next year at the latest due to their priority of keeping Trump out of office. Frens are getting hyped but idk if I've seen enough to believe the precipice is imminent (ie days or weeks).
Hopium*: As soon as Biden is impeached China can take over Taiwan and the Alliance take NATO down or out of Ukraine. All of that is coming before the election and on Bidens watch. Then Daddy Trump takes over and saves the day by negotiating a win-win world accord and the alliance takes down the final remnants of the deep state. We are 17 months behind the elections. If it does not happen now it would be too close to the election to fit all the booms. on Bidens watch.
Maybe this Friday. u/#q44 u/#q55
I’m first! Good evening, everyone! Feeling like the storm is right around the corner. God bless us all!
Oh man stuff is going down! I'm hyped! :Popcorn:
