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
High and mostly dry in Vermont, but the amount of water caused a spring to pop up under the barn floor, spent the day tearing up the boards and trenching it off down the slope. We were lucky, the neighbors at the bottom of the hill are still pumping about 7ft of water out of their yard and around their house, cars, pool, septic and well all under it. At around 6pm they said it went down a few inches, most of the roads are washed out. So glad I've made sure this land I sit on is heavily protected from erosion with conservation mix thick pasture grass, the water came down our skinny path like a waterfall, but exited out the back acre and onto the lower road. Lost power for about 5 hours, so I HAD to eat all the ice cream in the freezer, there was no other responsible choice.
