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
Had a great start to Christmas Eve until I didn't. We took breakfast to my granddaughter's house and an early Christmas present. Ten steps out the door and I'm flat on the ground like a beached whale🤦🏻♀️ Twisted my ankle it was very bad for the first thirty minutes. Took some meds, herbs, wrapped it and sitting in chair propped up with ice.
Hubby has learned how to take chicken out of plastic, take inside bag out, rinse, put in pot and get the gunk off top of water after it starts cooking. It's something everyone should know but not under these circumstances. I guess next he'll learn how to take chicken off the bone. Hopefully by the time it's time to mix potatoes for twice baked I can help. At least it was the other foot. I feel two weeks ago and bruised the top and left side toes.
After this year's ups and downs I'm truly looking forward to 2024. I've been doing research on the carnivore diet and I'm going to start that soon after Christmas. If you have ever been overweight and lost it you will understand this statement. I guess my mind is finally accepted it's time. Of course it's been time for a long time! I'm thankful we have a freezer of local beef. I'll update later in January after a few weeks.
Praying for each of you to have a blessed time with your family and safe travels❤️
Oh MB I’m so sorry. Bless your heart you have had a tough year. You are one strong woman because you just keep on fighting. Can’t keep a good woman down. Merry Christmas Fren ❤️🙏🏻🎄
I’m so sorry that you fell. I pray for God’s healing over your entire body. Sounds like a good idea for the carnivore diet, if that’s what’s gonna work best for you.
Also, I love your dialogue regarding your husband learning things. Please come back and tell us how he does. I think you could make an Instagram page out of this. 🤣😂
Thanks for your prayers fren. I've always been a klutz but these falls were because I wasn't paying attention. I was at the in laws Thursday & took off my sock to show bruises from two weeks ago. I started to put the sock on standing up but that doesn't happen because of my stomach. My mother in law immediately said sit down! She said, you don't try to put underwear or socks on standing up. It was very true but funny. My balance has been off and I've got to remember I'm not 25! I'm praying the carnivore diet is for me if not I'll figure out a balance with something. Jordan Peterson said it changed his life as well as daughter's & wife's. I'll try to find the video and post next week.
He's a good man! I was very blessed the day he walked into my life. The chicken cooking went well. He even took the chicken off the bone and chopped it up. He's cooking bacon at the moment for twice baked potatoes (cheating doing in casserole dish). Next we will make the chicken salad. He needs to learn anyway because he loves it and there isn't a recipe. Old school you put in stuff till it tastes right. Three years ago I would have done an Instagram account about it. I still have an account but rarely post or comment because of all the trolls. It used to be a fun place. I don't believe it was ever safe but I keep myself safe limiting what I follow and post.
