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
My daughter just announced that we are going to be grandparents again! God is so good! I want to shout from the rooftops about our new addition, but she hasn't had an opportunity to share with the rest of the family, so I am sharing it here with my frens, who won't accidentally spoil the surprise for the rest of the family! She and her husband are both wide awake, and together they are raising wonderful children, so my cup runneth over with one more precious soul to love!
Congratulations! Also, today is the day you will find out how many of your family have tracked you down and secretly keeping an eye on your posts here!
Bah ha ha! I doubt any of them, most of them only use a computer for work and don't even own a tablet, and basically only use a cell phone for text messaging and facebook. I'm pretty sure I'm safe here.
