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
For Real.

I bought an herbal infuser set up, well reviewed and not too expensive, I am psyched, I will be able to dry and infuse the same hour I pick. Hanging herbs are a pretty thing to have in the house, but so much essential oils are lost in that process. Making medicine from the earth is a wonderful senior past time. It is easy on the body and mind.
I'd like to hear more on this too; we're deciding on which "weeds" (lol) to cultivate and extract. Calendula, purpura something or other, yarrow, some other worts, but sure once we have patches of them growing, I agree drying leaves for teas is okay but not useful for all applications. Essential oils seem more potent, especially for the aromatic compounds. Besides soaking in alcohol, I don't know a whole lot yet...
Wrong words. It's called a "pastime" because it passes the time. (Originally from the French passe-temps.)
you are correct, that was sloppy writing on my part.
Hey, we all need a little a little slop some time. Makes life fun ❤️🤗
What are a few good resources to begin learning how to make your own essential oils? I've been growing lavender and mint because I love the scents. Never really considered making essential oils from my plants before.
Now that Cannibis has become "out of the closet", there are extractors and infusion makers to choose from, for making the tinctures and oils, they can be used for all leafy and flowery herbs, not just cannabis. The one I bought was under a 100 dollars' It is for small personal use. It will come with instructions, but the basics are EVO, (extra virgin olive oil) and heat. WIth these kits it will just be measure herb, measure oil, and push buttons. A friend of mine makes this wonderful oil for pain, it even works on nerve pain, she gets St Johnswort flowers , wild harvests, it grows like crazy in waste places and along roads and sunny ditches She cuts it up and puts it in jars, adds the extra virgin olive oil, and puts it in a sunny window for the summer. The oil turns red, when it is ready. It's great stuff, so no need for a machine.
Stalker alert
👉🏻 u/NewbishBewbish has been reported to mail wannabe intimidating private messages on this board.
Don’t YOU have ANYTHING BETTER to do with your time?
Here are suggestions:
I pray God finds you a real purpose so you give up bothering us.🙏🏻
I will never answer you privately and whatever you will send me will be pasted below this comment for all to see.
He just sent me one just now. What a fool.
Glad you warned me about him here yesterday.
I am glad you got many hints from others here regarding your personal situation and I pray you will find a right way to sort your situation out. Until then, nobody needs that kind of people to mess around.
AMEN.
Mary!🤗💐
Good morning. My son gave me the weekend off too.
I am so happy you can have a much needed rest. How’s Tiffany?
…and BTW, however George?
Oops! Didn't see the George question. He is fine. Keeping watch over a spot on his kidney. Will have another MRI in 3 months.
Tiffany has an appointment in August to have a scope on her throat. I will know more then.
The Computershare "settlement," whatever that means, is complete.
I officially personally own $30 worth of GME stock, DRS'd. Just over one share.
This r/superstonk and WallStreetSilver stuff is waaaaay over my head. This is me putting my money where my mouth is, and trusting that you guys know what you're talking about, that this stock will go to the moon when the fit hits the shan.
But know this.
I know the meme is "HODL". Hold On for Dear Life--that is, buy and never, ever sell. Or just a typo of "hold."
However, at some point, I have to sell. My family is in some seriously deep debt, through no fault of me personally--my mother has maxed out about five credit cards, to the point of calling someone called United Debt Relief (I hope I got that name right) to "settle" the debt or whatever the hell that means. I don't trust it one bit, it sounds fishy and loan-sharkish. But it's out of my hands now.
So should the MOASS happen, and this stock goes into the six-figures-per-share range, I will have no choice but to sell. That should be enough to pay off our debts, even after taxes.
And if this doesn't pan out, fine, I'm out 30 bucks...and what's apparently a $34 service charge Computershare slapped on me--what was THAT about?
The search feature on the sidebar is really useful. Just listened to the latest SG Anon podcast and then ran his name through the search feature. I have been suspicious about this guy for a while and have had that feeling since he just popped out of nowhere and started grifting like the others mentioned on this board.
SGAnon followed Phil Fraudlewski for a long time (until people called him out on it) and they both push the same gold coin scams.
In typical grifter fashion, he hypes up old news and other people's theories as if they are secret info only he is privy to. Causal patriots and the semi-awake eat it right up.
There's a ton of other evidence to suggest he's a fraud. Several people on Truth Social have compiled it all into very convinced threads.
Whats his name?
