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
Has anyone seen the viral video or post about Richard Simmons? Apparently they have scrubbed the internet of him wearing a sweatband on his head and wrist. I've seen people comment they remember him wearing them. Stuff like this will make you crazy if you let it. I know he wore them sweatbands were very popular back then. If you are going change anything out a tshirt and longer shorts on the dude. For younger people guys used to wear really short shorts. Believe me on the right guy we noticed. I was never into him and knew he was different (gay) before I knew what that was.
Well, they didn’t scrub enough
Check out this listing I just found on Poshmark: Vintage Richard Simmons Exercise Fitness Sweat Head Bands NIP Pink Sweatband. https://posh.mk/L7i4kMkWUBb
It is interesting, though if you type in Richard Simmons sweat bands on the Internet, all you see is the propaganda. Just article after article after article. That tells me this whole thing is artificial.
Great find I didn't think about sites like Poshmark and eBay.
I remember his sweatbands too. Must be the Mandela effect.
Agreed Mandela effect. I just don't get why they would hid this. It's crazy who cares what the man wore?
I remember the sweatbands. I asked my husband and he remembers, as well. Why do you think they’re trying to scrub this? Maybe it’s an “Are you awake yet?” test.
