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.

Wut da fugg is that grainy dog on a chair thumbnail pic? I kek every time i see it!
It is reprehensible how McCarthy and his cadre of Old Guard GOP are hanging Boebert and Luna out to dry with their Resolutions. Disgusting, cowardly way to attempt to humiliate and control the only Representatives that are listening to the People. Bet you anything they are chuckling about "teaching them a lesson" over their scotch tonight.

Despite managing a chronic and painful syndrome, I am the lab rat (self inflicted) of a few regimens that followed the "natural" guidelines. One of them caused a very life threatening reaction. I decided to do a parasite cleanse, (not the first time, I've been a natural healing hippy for a looooong time. For pop culture reference, "Horse With No Name and Bubba O'Reilly" were competing for most played song after dropping acid.. Anyway. If you are under 50 and having some health issues that don't go away, research it and take supplements. I am convinced that all chronic auto immune illness comes from malnutrition. Supplements work We cannot all grow our own food, it is a lot of work. So #1 the food we eat is not fresh, it lacks enzymes that you need to absorb the nutrients. Enzymes are chemicals, they can be taken as a pill. Vitamin D is obvious, and it comes from fish and FRESH eggs, we used to eat a lot more fish. Now, those statistics have to do with the fact that the largest settlements of man were always around a body of water or the ocean. We dont do that anymore and all the local fishermen have been put out of business. So we need a pill. It is the same with all supplements. We need them we do not get it all from food. The human body is not going to "evolve" to mass produced food, it has been getting sicker, weaker, and miserably minded. Bottom line, this lab rat has improved, but I have to take them. Self care and preparing every "special meal" for myself (I'm not Oprah) is boring, tiring, and tie consuming. Happy Summer!
I'm with you on most of that, I think the good Lord designed all we need into each ecosystem we're meant to be on, long-term.
What do you think of that balance of nature they advertise? Was thinking of getting it because I’m all malnourished n shit cause I don’t ever eat because I hate food. It’s all the same and it all sucks. I’ve discovered wine is tasty though. Kek
I'm sure they have the basics and it can't hurt. You should eat raw fruit when you can if you like wine, nibble, fruit nuts, low appetite can be from low B12, anemia, and lack of zinc. I don't mean to replace pills with good whole food, but at this point, most Americans need to supplement, it is difficult to get all nutrients from food. Raw fruit has tons of enzymes to help absorb iron. balance of nature is a good start, but try to get that appetite back.
Fruit still tastes great at least. I really appreciate the reply!
I was just watching and reading comments about the 9/11 cgi planes hitting the towers, I exited and the post just disappeared and I cannot find it. If someone could give me a link, that would be great. If someone could give me a way to find disappearing posts, that would also be great. Thank you.
See if it's in here...

Thank you. I have noted the search citation and do appreciate having it.
My internet is crap this morning! I have the usual amount of tabs open but only one streaming at a time. Twitter just keeps stalling out.
By the time the page loads I've already forgotten why I was on the page...
My internet has been lagging for three days now. It’s like dial up speed!
Remember the tones that used to blast your eardrums out? Good times! 😄
Today my husband went to drop our dog off at puppy day care, and she was refused admittance bc she needs another vaccine. Bortadella, which is due annually, but the facility requires it every six months. They offered to give it to her, but he said no, no more vaccines for any body.
If not us, who?
If not now, when?
Find another puppy day care and sue the living daylights out of the one that refused your dog.
ha! I would like to meet the lawyer who would take that case!
Well those places make a ton of money. You almost pay as much as kiddie daycare.
I haven't paid for kiddie day care in many years, but puppy camp is quite pricey. But we just don't want to do it any more. You know, when I was a little girl, a dog was just a dog. No one put clothes on their dog or called themselves dog mom, or took their dog to doggy day care for enrichment. Your dog got shots as a puppy and thereafter a minimal number of times. Now they want to inject the pets with crap that will make them sick, so then we can spend money on the "cures." There's even a dog flu shot. It's ridiculous, so today we said we are done. Like I wrote earlier, if not us then who? if not now, then when?
I agree, in the past 3 years I have spent thousands of dollars on my geriatric babies. They have been healthy for the majority of their lives, now they are just old. They do well for 16,15 and 13. It’s sad that the vets charge so much because most people cannot afford to pay to feed decent food to their animals much less medical expenses. I have found ACV to work wonders on my dogs arthritic joints.
I'll keep that in mind! My chonky dog is 6, she's a staffy lab mix, and kinda on the big boned side. So I could see her having some challenges in the future. I feed her really well. How do you administer the ACV?
I put it in a vegetable capsule and slip it into her food. I do it with each feeding. It has done more for her joints than anything. I was surprised how fast it went to work. So now we are both on the ACV
🙏Thanks to all those that have shown love and support. Together Through Christ we have endless potential🙏

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.

Anyone know where I can listen to the Durham interview with congress? I’ll be at work so I can’t watch but I’d like to listen.
There’s a new pinned post: https://greatawakening.win/p/16bPnnDwT2/hearing-on-the-john-durham-repor/c/
Was public fappening leak of nudes years ago cover for bigger leaks?
Years ago before Trump the "fappening" took place..a massive dump of private icloud images from celebs. Mostly womens nude selfies and short sex clips
But how could numerous Hollywood elite have their private info dumped and there be no indication of anything dirtier?
which leads me to believe, fappening was an intentional content leak to discourage actual hacking of celeb accounts since the internet would be purely focused on the nudes
This got my brain jogging... Didn't one of the fappening leaks get blamed on N. Korea? Same as the first big Sony PSN hack? Interesting to think about in hindsight considering the DS using console gaming comms would be unveiled a few yrs later.
If Im recollecting correctly, the fappening and the Sony hack occurred the same year. I also wanna say San Bernadino FF was either a few months earlier or later (Spring Vs Winter).
Meh, just spit balling... Seemed like a lot of bigger news cycle control events going on at the time.
Good morning Patriots. May your stay be bright and beautiful.
I've had the flu for the past few days and have been sleeping constantly, not checking my phone at all. Forgot it was Father's Day. Forgot it was Juneteenth too. Lol. Politricks.
Anyway, was going through scraping the music recommendations from GC over the last few days (will listen later). Here's my contribution. Heard it last night; it's lovely.
Timmy Thomas - Why Can't We Live Together
Husband took me to a Chinese Restaurant Buffet last night. We go there on occasion as they have very good food. We were seated across from 4 Military aged Mexican/Spanish men. One had on a Vietnam War Cap. My husband was so mad he wanted to jerk it off his head as he knew this young man wasn't old enough to have served in Vietnam. They all talked Spanish and kept looking my way. Then I noticed I had on my "Jesus is my Savior, Trump is my President" shirt. I looked at my husband and said, " I wish you had your gun strapped on, as I suddenly feel unsafe." After some time, these men finally left which was a great relief to me. I don't know if they could speak any English, but I'm sure the word TRUMP stood out for them.
I love that slogan. That flag is flying high on my flag pole right now. Don’t worry, no need to feel threatened, I’m sure you put your armor on everyday. HE will take care of you. ❤️🙏🏻
I used to eat at Chinese buffets all the time. Boy are they good! Until I realized the soybean oil they cooked in was acting like a female hormone and making me cry constantly. There's a thread on Great Awakening posted maybe yesterday or the day before about how soybean oil is really really bad for you. Everything in a Chinese restaurant is cooked in soybean oil.
Thank you. Now I know why I can cry at the drop of a hat. Do you reckon John Bainer ate a lot of Chinese too? Haha.
I don't even need the drop of a hat! I remember telling a doc several years ago that merely stepping on an ant would cause a major outburst. I was trying to attribute the crying to something happening TO me, rather than something I was eating.
I know that there is a phobia of crying as I used to work at a mental institution aka asylum when I was younger. There was a lady on my ward that constantly cried for no reason. That was why she was in there. Some of the stupidest reasons to put a person in a institution. But it was caused by severe depression which I don't think you or I have.
Most of the time I don't even ask my husband if he's packing. A hand on his hip tells me and he knows I'm checking🤣 I check because sometimes he accidentally leaves it in the console. I really need to take the concealed carry course.
Hopefully you already have your concealed carry permit. You need it if you're ever left in a vehicle with somebody else's gun. Check with your local sheriff's office. The one in my county holds free gun safety classes about every quarter. Once we pass the class, we are allowed to use their gun range for free anytime a class lecture is going on. The classes are 2 hours of lecture followed by 2 hours on the (outdoor) shooting range.
Around here x law enforcement or gun experts teach the classes. It's normally held at the local volunteer fire department. I've several acres I can practice. I'd like to go to a gun range. Thanks for info.
Lo siento, pero hablo muy poco Español.
I think that most Mexicans have access to US TV so they probably speak fluent American. As for caps, I tend to choose caps at random when buying, choosing sturdiness and color over whatever they are advertising. However, I bought one recently that proclaimed "SPORT". At age 72 I'm not very sporty, so I went over one letter with a sharpie so it now says "PORT". lol More suitable for a man of my girth!
I'm sorry that you live in an area where you feel the need for a weapon. Where I live, guns are used for hunting and wedding celebrations.
Not until recently. I live in a small town and now suddenly I can't go to town without running into people of different backgrounds who I know just arrived. Therefore, since we don't know who they are, my husband usually wears his gun strapped to him. Yesterday being in a restaurant, he thought it safe to go inside without one. But next time, most likely will.
My hubby always carries.
Mine keeps his in the truck and locks it when it's a restaurant. But he really needs to carry it everywhere.
Today, while dropping the car off for servicing, I happened to catch some MSM news on the TV for the first time in almost 3 years. It was quite surreal watching the entire time I was waiting there, the whole segment about "US President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden pleads guilty to 3 federal count".
In the middle they even went into how "people were complaining that Trump's indictment was not fair since Biden and Hunter have a lot thats not investigated."
Maybe a small taste of the coming GA
Today, my wife & I dropped the car off at the mechanics' workshop to have a Lambda sensor replaced. It was just after 6 am and nobody was about. We walked the 2 km home with the silence broken only by the occasional sheep, turkey or cockerel and the twittering birds; and the occasional barrel dog, which people keep chained up to scare away predators. We don't own a TV.
Sounds like you live in an idyllic place, just like the picturesque views in u/penisse 's videos.
Thanks. Nature is where man realized God is, not towns.
Be me. Notice Today Show on in the background in lobby this morning. Apparently "Father's Day weekend" is now officially "Juneteeth weekend" according to the show script. Segway to Al Roker cooking smash burgers for the holiday occasion. Visually remember that time Al Roker's programming glitched out. Almost hog-snort horse laugh out loud but stop it by swallowing it. 30 seconds later release a burp that would make Homer Simpson blush. Look around lobby... Literally no one looked up from their phones 😆
The technotrance is depressing.
Roker was playing along until Savannah Guthrie mentioned her Catholic school said to “leave room for the Holy Ghost.” The he froze, as if ‘ghost’ was one of his Winter Soldier trigger words
Precisely. And, as another anon noted, it wasn't just Roker. Other cosmopolitan actors had similar glitches caught on camera. For the life of me, I can't recall which ones. But Roker definitely isn't the only example.
Much later, there was a copy/pasta response by MSM fact checking the incident. Anderson Vanderbilt even covered it. Proving further it was not as they claim, "a comedic gesture made by Roker".
Found this...covers a few of them...
CELEBRITIES Caught Glitching...
https://youtu.be/pxMB7zHV3Jg
Yes! Thanks fren. I knew that there were others besides Big Al that had their programming glitch out live.
I remember Al Roker's programming glitching out...along with MANY other "celebrities"...that and the eyes that look like slits or tongues that flicker make for some entertaining viewing...we have come so far in this Great Awakening...TV/movies hold NO interest for me...
