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 have a disabled person to care for, and animals to care for, my time is spoken for, I would try to stay in the present with all of that, savor each second of light and sky and my surroundings, keep the fire going and do the dishes and cook and feed all in my charge and myself. If no one else knows there are just 10 days, I would keep my mouth shut. Thaw that prime rib in the freezer and cook it medium rare, invite some friends to dinner. Spend one day just eating bacon lettuce and tomato sandwiches, eat an entire blueberry pie with ice cream.At 73, the pleasure of the senses seem to center on good food, some of which may not be too good for me, but since it's 10 days, I doubt it will take its toll, and, I am willing to share so hopefully the good Lord will not judge me a glutton.
words of wisdom!
Sounds like a divine 10!
