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
I'm usually up and about around 3 am; but this morning, I actually GOT to sleep until 7. The dog didn't wake me and neither did my husband. I feel great knowing that I actually got some good rest. Now tomorrow is another story so I'll be up at 2 Am due to the fact my son will be working 3 hours away and he left out yesterday for the next 2 weeks. His wife is working tomorrow and Thursday due to the fact she had no leftover vacation days to pay her for those days off. She leaves early and must be at work at 5. So I will have to leave here at 3:45 to be there at 4 AM so she can get to work. Then I will be home until January 2. Short but sweet. I can now have my 'Calgon take me away' moment.
Enjoy the time with the little ones. I know that she will appreciate you being there, enable love having their grandma with them
Will do. Ninky/ the youngest girl just turned 3, got her Minnie Mouse bicycle she worked so hard for. I finally potty trained her and that was her Christmas reward. She looked really happy to get it. That's all I've heard her talk about.
How sweet I have a picture of her riding around. Enjoy the time with them. I have no grandchildren.
I have some too; only real. She was saying, 'Look Memaw' when my son took it. You will be 'blessed' with your own one day. You will enjoy every minute of it. I couldn't keep my older 3 granddaughters due to the fact their Mother had basically let them do and 'see' things they shouldn't have. When they got to me, I couldn't control them. Instead they were controlling me and trying to get me into trouble. The middle one cussed out the bus driver, one of her teachers, stood on the desk with a cell phone and told the teacher to F off. She wouldn't do her homework, sneaked out of the house to meet a guy much older than her, etc. Her and the older one were doing lewd nasty things and posting on Tik Tok. It was too much for me to handle. They are in a much better place now. The little one who is now 9 is the one I miss the most. But she will understand I pray, when she is much older. The father/ my son could not take them because the Mother would have made his (now happy) life a living HELL. She is one of those types who stalk and think 'If I can't have you, no one can.' She is in jail and has been for the last year for doing, manufacturing, and selling METH. It was only a matter of time. It's always the kids who suffer. I pray everyday for my middle granddaughter. I pray for all 3, but the middle one is the most confused. I heard she got baptized the other day. So God is working in her life. That means a lot to me.
