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
my canadian friend loves the ketchup chips, but then again, he puts ketchup on everything, it's really ghetto. Snacks have changed, they do not taste the same, but I was a kid decades ago. The Hostess snacks like Twinkies and Sno-Balls and Cupcakes all taste like sugared wax, which is probably what they are made of. Snickers are still good, in a pinch. I like Lays Classic Chips, no flavored anything. It's all I eat now for an unhealthy snack, the snack cakes gluten and chocolate are all off limits due to MCAS. My big treat at bedtime are my magnesium gummies, welcome to senior living. I love Turkey Hill Ice Cream, Butter Pecan. Canadian Mars bars are superior to USA candy bars, I am told. If you lay off anything with high fructose in it, and then have it again after a long pause, you can taste and feel the difference in your gut, like feeling the gut microbiome die on the spot, seriously, it happens.
I had a customer who used to put ketsup on his pancakes and brown gravy on his fries.
hmmmm, that sounds so dyslexic. Uggghhhh.
