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
This is what should be happening in schools

Watched it twice and cried all the way through. See, there are good, kind and generous kids out there. All we are shown are the crazy mixed up ones. ❤️
Happy to you! 🥰
I love how Trump just gets us. He reTruthed the meme with Mel Gibson of normal voting in 2016 vs William Wallace voting in 2024.

It feels like progress to have Garrett Zeigler, the guy in charge of the Hunter Laptop Report, testifying in Arkansas trial today of Hunter trying to get out of child support. Ben Bergquam is the only reporter on the scene though. But at least it's not a government agency saying we have no evidence, it's the guy who has been poring over all the evidence for a year and a half.
They don't even want Ben filming the outside of the building from the sidewalk. https://twitter.com/KarliBonnita/status/1669729449145663491?
Spending the morning sending text messages to friends I haven't talked to in awhile. Checking in and spreading love.
I used to do this all the time but cut back quite a bit. It's hard work sometimes. 😉🤗
Happy Friday to my GAW family. WWG1WGA
Same to you fren
Why was barisma story from hannity scrubbed from truth? Fox not mentioning it .
I think because a lot of the Republicans in congress who were making noise about the tapes are now backpedaling and saying they don’t know if they even exist.
It’s stupid af. Why make a big deal out of it if you don’t know they exist or not? Makes ZERO SENSE! Feels like it’s all for donations.
The one saying that the Whistleblower was found dead?
That "Whistleblower was found dead" story is fake news:
https://communities.win/c/GreatAwakening/p/16bPeWhp8I/know-your-clickbait-newspunch-cl/c
https://rumble.com/v2ugq3g-was-a-whistleblower-against-biden-found-dead.html?mref=nmtun&mrefc=3
Maybe if everybody believes that he is dead, they won’t continue to look for him to kill him
Ok read the backstory..I was incorrect...but wonder why the ruse
The most simple explanation is that clickbait site generate fake news by stretching the truth and lied by omission to get clicks, money, and attention while humiliating the MAGA movement. Various sites picked up the story to get clicks, money, and attention from the angry MAGA mob. The rest of the MAGA mob then spread around the story without double checking because the story confirms to their biases...
Each lie and piece of fake news we spread damages our reputation and movement. We need to be on guard all of the time.
Like I said Fox ain't talking and Truth scrubbed it
I love Chillwave music. Odysseus has the best mixes.

Keep em coming. ☕🍿
I am currently reading that book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_of_Habit …
I am amazed at how clearly it describes the path between our current self and better selves.
I highly recommend it.
" It states that if you keep the initial cue, replace the routine, and keep the reward, change will eventually occur"
What kinda routine would be the replacement? For example drinking, what would you replace the routine with? How would the reward be the same, since we all know how alcohol triggers chemicals like dopamine and GABA. What routines would create the same reward?
Personally, I drink in 2 situations: (a) I want to fall asleep or I am stranded in an apero where I am bored (people serve me drinks as a social lubricant).
Look to achieve the same thing as the reward: (a) find another way to go to sleep (be tired: having a garden help) or (b) just thank these people for the nice apero after a few drinks and get home (by foot is a really good way to get tired if it’s within walkable range) and do something interesting (read a book like the one I mentioned) or just go to bed.
Nobody likes to get drunk, they do so either carelessly or to avoid something. Confront what you want to avoid. You don’t have never to imbibe a single drop again, just weigth when the delicious goodness is not delicious anymore and think of somethink better, not by quantity but by quality.
Couple of items..
Reminds me of something..."You're gonna miss me when I'm gone."
I say that all the time. This a song by Brooks & Dunn.
Your Going To Miss Me
Seeking hydration information. Does anyone eat certain foods to keep hydrated? Do you use Gatorade alternatives, like natural hydration powder? I'm asking because my skin is extremely dry. To the point my skin looks like a crocodile. It's probably a combination of my age and hormones. I drink mostly water all day. Occasionally herbal tea, OJ or milk (with out hormones). My skin all over got this way over the past 18 months. Thanks
Put a tablespoon of, for instance, Bragg’s vinegar in one of your morning glasses of water. Any natural vinegar with live “mother” cultures will do as well.
It has many healthful properties including electrolytes, it helps to keep your body slightly acidulous and the live cultures are good for your gut.
Drink plenty of water. A good indicator of proper hydration is when your urine is consistently a light straw color.
Three or four liters a day of water is a good start.
Thanks, I have that vinegar. I'll start this. I did it years ago and got out of the habit. I drink at least 48 ounces of water a day & my urine is clear. It won't hurt me to ad a few more bottles.
Get some fat in your system.. even fish oil will help.
I started evening primrose a few weeks ago. Will look into adding more fat or fish oil.
The skin vitamins are A and D, Niacin,Iron.. A from leafy greens and E is good too whole grains and seeds and nuts, Also, collagen, it comes in a powder and you can brew a bone broth rich in collagen. You can drink too much water and flush out nutrients. Have you heard of Switchel? Old NE recipe for hydration and electrolytes, Maple Syrup, Apple Cider Vinegar and raw Ginger and Lemon Juice. Chop up some raw ginger and fill a pot with some water 2 quarts, boil it no longer than 2 minutes and steep for 20. In another container mix 1/2 cup of maple syrup or mollasses, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (Braggs or another natural kind with the "mother") 2/3 cup of lemon juice from fresh lemons.Mix it all together. It's an old formula they used to pack for the haying crew for the poor boys that were stuck loading the bales. It contains all the electrolytes, and of course, it's natural. Invented by a Vermonter I think, Yanks drop like flies in the heat.
This is great info thanks a bunch. I've heard of switchel but never tried it.
Ha Ha, I know it gets hot up north with out our southern humidity. I love the heat and it's finally getting hot. We have had a cool spring & warm winter (February was at least 70 & higher). It's the bugs with the heat that get me. Can't walk outside without getting bit.
My limit is 72, above that I am uncomfortable, I sleep with the window open, only shut it when its below 50.
Nice😀
Whole milk helps with skin oil production. Not so much the low fat stuff.
Just got some whole milk today. Thanks again
Thanks I didn't know this about whole milk. I prefer whole milk but usually get 2%. I'll switch to whole milk.
I wake at dawn
I see the sky change in color, the clouds restlessly sailing along
The edges of light etching out the lines
The booms roll in the distance; they dominate each day, like a clarion reminder of what is coming
Oh, faith, please bind my heart ever more to His hope and joy!
As I work the garden, trim the bushes, tend to the soil, and gather the herbs
the booms continue in the distance
and on the horizon
I see the future hurtling towards me with all the promise of liberation
and freedom for a hundred billion souls
That was beautiful home. Thank you for sharing.
That’s beautiful and thought provoking. Thanks
Today I am resting in the arms of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Being in Kauai opens your heart and mind to ALL that Christ has planned for us!
I am GRATEFUL … for All of Gods Glory!
It is simply beautiful here, and the spirit of the Lord is in this place!

I've heard that's a great island to visit. I spent a week Oahu in 2011 & did a day trip to Kīlauea (big island) in 2011. Hawaii is most definitely a different experience. Enjoy yourself.
There is only a 2 lane highway around the island. It doesn’t even go all the way around due to the Hawaiian equivalent to the Grand Canyon. This traffic system keeps the Garden Island humble and quaint. Very lovely!
God bless and have a great day!
Sounds beautiful and peaceful. I liked Oahu but the traffic is worse there than any place I've experienced. Have to give credit, they are polite in traffic unlike most states in the 48:mainland. It's considered rude to blow the horn and (almost missed the exit ) we put blinker on a four lane highway and busy traffic let us get over.
Have you had a chance to visit Kīlauea? The crater is erupting again. I took a day trip from Oahu in 2011. It was magnificent. Enjoy your visit.
Yes. Just lovely. But since I am on the north shore Kauai- I don’t get the sunsets on the water - however they are still beautiful! Hope you are enjoying Gods Glory!
I went there when I was a teen. I still think about the Fern Grotto.
Awesome! I’m happy to hear it brought back a fun memory.
Any leads on who wh grampa is, what wh stands for, if they've been right on any predictions?
I believe "WH" stands for White Hat. In the beginning I suspected it was another DJT account but that didn't last long.
We know very few things: he's a musician who's well connected in Hollyweird, throughout California & Nashville. His clues are sometimes broad to protect his anonymity but says he's going to reveal himself in the future. He is a Patriot.
I'm almost 99% sure I've discovered his identity but that is not for me to dox him. Praying for his safety!🙏
Getting a bit annoyed at DC Draino today for not really explaining the reasons why the 12 "RINOs" voted against the fine, other than banging the drum to pump up sinful bloodlust amongst my fellow MAGA-men.
He is against RINOs and Demonic Rats. Fine. So do I. But if we go about omitting important pieces of information like the concerns that:
1.) Congress might not have the authority to impose multi-million dollar fines like that (should be left to the courts), and
2.) that the fine of that magnitude would draw fire from the 8th Amendment of the US Constitution (specifically the parts banning excessive fines or cruel and unusual punishments),
then how are we better than the tyrannical Deep State we fight against? Lying by omission is still lying and it is not our way. DC Draino's starting to sound like a grifting influencer at this point...
...
Sorry for the rant, but lies (especially lies by omission) from predominate members of the MAGA movement irritate me so.
It was 20
You have to realise by now that not all information can be released just like that, hence this whole ordeal we have to endure. There are layers and layers of optics, and most people are not even aware of all the optics for every issue.

Vamos!
Damn. I'll have to read that. Just found out about that Cathy track myself. 💪
Saw y'all taking about The Orb the other day. SALT slaps. I'm a U.F.Orb guy, but obviously love most of their stuff.
