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
Yes, and this is a great new trend, however… The great disappointment will continue on. I thought it was over too, but here it is. And I think it is one of the funniest things to happen here on this forum.
Whenever I hear or see the word disappointment now, I’m anything, but. I literally laughed out loud because it is so funny. Basically, it’s a complete opposite and I’ll never have to be disappointed again. 😂🤣😂🤣
Yes I am all for it continuing. I like first verse though because it also causes growth and spreading the good news..
Have u ever thought about why that is that u are now anchored in a positive way to that word. And if so have u tried to utilize it for other positive ways?
Yes, I am anchored to that word being positive now, because of the comedy behind it. And the camaraderie.
Have u ever tried to do that with other things to help yourself bounce from any negative times into positive times. Our mind is a very powerful thing. It can either cause great distress or bring alot of joy. Using different triggers from words or images for different people
Surely. True 😊
Started in 2004 a Forum of 'Good😊soul+mind+body'.
Unfortunately, it became over-run with > racists & hating christian advisors & other sinners < that too exist on this platform, even in c/POSITIVE of all places. evidence = https://communities.win/c/Positive/p/16c1uiAt2k/parents-of-2-inspired-at-church-/c .
Wondering... where else to Create a 2nd.😊 Safe heaven like mine was in 2004 thru 2010. --- Do you know, Ryan?
Yes, I have. But this in particular was a group effort. So now the word disappointment really is not disappointing at all. And it was because a group of people came together and made it that way.
There are different keywords or colors or smells or things in life that can change somebody’s mood. I was just reading a story about how petting an animal, a dog or a cat… For five minutes can change a persons mood in a positive manner.
For me, it’s as simple as breakfast. Every day I eat the same thing. Berries, I have to have my berries. I find them comforting, and a constant in my life. It’s very helpful for me when I am staying at other peoples houses, watching the animals, because every day starts the same. It’s something I can count on.
There are many other examples, but that’s just two.
