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

Oh, so you are doing it one week later than us eurotrashes?
We had some online poll during the Lockdown. They promised they’d end it but it seems we’re still stuck with that nonsense. I hope I live to see the Solar time restored.
Love the dachshund meme. That's so much like their attitude. I keep a rug in the kitchen for his food bowl so he doesn't have to stand on the cold floor. He's an early bird, sits on that rug an hour before his meal🤣
Don Jr posted this & I posted here. I'm enjoying the comments.
Clocks Back 1775
Here I am enjoying an extra hour of not being able to sleep. 😂
My issue was not sleep in general, from my sleep tracker I found that I was getting a fraction of the deep sleep and REM that is considered to be healthy. After trying so many things it has been a combination of ashgawanda and CBD isolate that has brought my deep sleep closer to normal and I'm waking up feeling much more refreshed. Even today on DST I woke up with little grogginess and hit the gym much earlier than normal.
I'm right here with you. 4:10 AM & I'm just getting sleepy. Had a shower two hours ago because I'm going with hubby to buy (another) CB, at 5:30😣 I've never been a morning person so I'll be in a mood. My attitude to morning is don't talk to me till at least 10 or after. I don't have to go but it's a good way for us to spend time together. However that's going to backfire because I'll probably fall asleep.
I've folded clothes and put towels in washer, ran dishwasher. Changed time on the clocks & on my filth album on Spotify. No rock music just easy listening. Been going through my phone over an hour deleting screenshots. I'm notorious screenshotting for future research. Been saving links from screenshots. It's just the way my brain works, professional procrastinator.
Hope you get sleep soon. Insomnia is hell.
pro tip: when you can't sleep, maybe sleep isn't what you need to be doing?
I believe that & very good point. I finally feel asleep about 3:30 & husband woke me up at 5:30. He's a morning person acting a fool singing and rhyming about waking up. I rolled my eyes and got on up. We were meeting some an hour away to by CB. I can't believe I'm still up and not sleepy.
