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
Is anyone near Atlanta Georgia interested in being a driving companion for a lady who has to very soon drive to Arizona to pick up large dog that cannot travel back to Georgia any other way but by vehicle. This person does not want to make the drive alone. Female preferred and obviously no drugs or alcohol will be part of this endeavor. I will pass along any leads to my friend if you want to dm me some info about how you might want to be contacted.
Holda the Witch from Gretel & Hansel. I never did like that story and it only took me fifty years to figure out why.
It appears there’s some history to that name, but pretty diverse in opinions as to whether the legendary figure was dark or light. The Hansel-Gretel version is definitely not a light being.
My pastor’s sermon this morning “The Best is Yet To Come”!” I have secretly thought months ago that he was a true fren!

happy anniversary of missing trillions!

Ted Lieu @tedlieu I support gun safety laws. However, this order from the Governor of New Mexico violates the U.S. Constitution. No state in the union can suspend the federal Constitution. There is no such thing as a state public health emergency exception to the U.S. Constitution.
Didnt david hogg say the exact same thing? Patriots in control.

Congratulations!
Now get busy and make some babies!!!
Thank you!! I'm past baby making years though, we both have kids from previous marriages. If I had another child at my age, it would most likely kill me, kek.
I'm 59, my new wife is 14 years younger. All I can say, a younger lady keeps the stamina in high gear, the best method I have found to augment your health. LOL!
Well then, enjoy your blended family!

I got married today to the most beautiful, caring, honest, pureblood woman you would ever meet. We have been together for 6 years and decided to make it a lifelong commitment. I am a very lucky man and thank God for this blessing.
Congratulations!!
💖
Thank you!!
the definition of true Bliss is a good wife ,congrats friend
Very true, I found a good one, Thank you.
Awesome news, praise God! Be fruitful and multiply purebloods!!
Well, I already have 2 sons who are 18 and 16, I myself just turned 59. Starting a new family at my age may be out of the question.
Oh may be, I've seen crazier. One of my parents has a similar gap in age between them and siblings... But meanwhile, enjoy and prepare your youngsters to do the right things!!
Congratulations to you both.
Thank you!!
Congratulations. The right girl makes watching this movie easy mode. Enjoy it whole heart :)
Very true, she doesn't ask to many questions about the nonsense going on these days, she looks at it all in disbelief. I keep her updated on the big stuff though. Don't want to put too much stress on her. She gets excited with the Q proofs and usually responds with a big smile.
Need to find a home for a special needs German Shepherd. He needs a larger person experienced with the breed who wants a constant companion and has no other animals. He's approx 1.5-2 yrs old and neutered.
I actually posted about him several months ago. He belongs to a friend of a friend in GA. I'm in AZ. I found him a home in AZ but those people want to send him back to GA. He was abused as a pup, rescued by someone who has no idea what she's doing, tied up, crated. Wants to be in charge and guard everything. That owner got bitten when she picked him up by his front legs to drag him into his crate. After that he came to a family in AZ but he doesn't get along with their other dogs and they can't give him the attention and exercise he needs so he's been destructive.
No rescue we've found will help either because they're full or because he's been aggressive. Doesn't matter that that was due to mishandling.
Any ideas? I don't know where to post since the dog is currently in AZ but may or may not be heading back to GA soon. So could be adopted by the right person in any state if transport can be arranged.
I should make it clear he loves people and loves affection. But he knows no boundaries and has a dominant personality in need of a job.
I would keep researching for rescues, breed appropriate. Biting at the hands and arms of someone dragging him by the front legs is defensive, not aggression, any dog would do that. I would just keep trying, he will need a person who loves the breed and knows what to do, the fact that he is friendly is a big plus, I hate crates, HATE THEM. They are so misused, I also hate that people get dogs and then think they do not have to spend a good deal of time with them, as if by magic and a manual they can "train" the dog. You may have to go through many "normie" channels, but keep looking, GSD's are strong but so willing to please and thrive on positive reenforcement. Sorry to hear he has been nuetered at such a young age, it does not help with aggression, often makes them more aggresive, and they need all their hormones functioning till 2 years of age for proper bone growth and health. Keep trying.
The whole situation is awful. And now he is across the country from the woman who has no idea how to handle him, but at least loves him. I'm so angry at the people who currently have him. I mentioned him to them, gave him his owner's #, then found out they were picking him up after they were already on their way! Hello??? Are you taking your most dominant dog along to see if they can get along? No. Are you willing to pay the right trainer with the most experience? No. How will he be exercised? Play. No no no! Argh. Why can't people handle the most basic communication?
Wish I could help; had 2 rescue Alsatians, they were wonderful. Hope he finds his forever home. We have a rehoming organisation for Alsatians in the UK - maybe there is one in the US as well? Check with local animal shelters and similar groups.
Maybe you can post this on the main GAW page to get more traction. There's also Reddit and GAB.
I didn't think of GAB, thank you
Listen to everyone as brothers like Christ said. Take it all in from everyone, and let His ways be your ways, being calm and patient, understanding, loving, helpful, forgiving, merciful, and graceful, like Christ would be. Use your Godly gifts to see the crossroads of good or evil and choose, and remind others to choose, the good roads of righteousness that please God and benefit us all. The more people who live His ways makes us stronger, so be brave and bold and confident like He would, and share direction and guidance as purely as He did. Because it's how we become highly efficient and intelligent beings.
And when the enemy sends annoying people across your path, don't get provoked or angry - pray for them. Amazing how quickly they change.
John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Colossians 1:15-20 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. 17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
Amen
Hebrews 1:3a He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature...
