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
Central AR here, not Little Rock or Conway, but near both (fairly rural, 45 minutes one direction is LR, 45 minutes the other way is Conway). Overall, our state is very conservative, although the closer you get to Little Rock the more liberal it is. Also, the college towns (Conway and Fayetteville; Fayetteville's worse) are more liberal than those of us out here in the boonies. It's been forever since I've been to Hot Springs, but I remember that it's beautiful in that area of the state. I'm not sure about the climate there either, but here in Central AR, our winters are fairly mild; we only have bad snowstorms every few years, but we do usually have at least one ice storm every winter. Summers kind of suck (today has been nice in the high 80's with 70% humidity), but personally, I'd rather have a hot summer with a bearable winter than the other way around.
I live in AZ, it's been between 110° and 117° I can handle heat :)
Thank you for the info.
That is a dry heat. Utah here & I had no problem growing up with our dry heat & dry winters.
Hit the east coast a few summers to visit family & I would rather do a 100 dry heat than an 80 humid. Granted I always preferred the cold personally so take it for what it's worth.
