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

Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

My dad ran the family finances, and was super stingy in general due to anxiety on his part more than lack of money. In his later life he seems to have overcome this, which is good for him.

Christmas was always kind of... A weird, anxious disappointment. Not that it was bad, or Dickensian. Extended family always came through pretty nicely and we had good get togethers hosted by other people. But actual Christmas at our house was always... Weird.

Don't have a great memory of gifts, they were always pretty bad, like a couple of clothes and a bag of candy or something. One year after I moved out he got my mom a weight loss book and a vacuum cleaner (my mom wasn't particularly overweight 😅).

Best gift: my dad got himself an IBM PC clone, 386. That was pretty common. A big, expensive gift for him, not much for us. And the PC was the only thing the rest of us could use, if that makes sense. Most of the gifts would be like a set of golf clubs for himself (fake examples). I pretty much hijacked it and here we are.

One year my aunt got me Ice Cube's The Predator on cassette. That's probably the best gift.

Lmao. Hadn't thought about this stuff in years. I really can't complain. I went the opposite way and am overly generous in my gift giving, which is the best outcome I think.
