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
Wow - we have sunshine here in the UK! Cold so I got togged up and spent a lovely couple of hours working in my garden, with a dear robin to keep me company. Even got a load of washing dried - woohoo. Don't suppose it will last long, chemtrails already turning the sky white.
Hope you are managing to stay warm, a friend of mine in Nebraska woke to frozen pipes and no water. Not good.
Isn’t sunshine in winter rare in UK? Glad you got some natural VD. Ugh frozen pipes are not fun. When we first got married we lived in a trailer and learned our lesson. I can guarantee we drip water if the temps get in the 20s. The only positive thing from those frozen pipes is my husband learned about plumbing from my grandfather. He’s not the man I married now he can do anything mainly. Plumbing, electrical, fixing AC & heat, construction nothing stops him. If anyone of either sex can learn this early in life it’s great life skills.
Thanks to chemtrails sunshine is rare a lot of the time now. :(
Good to have skills and not have to pay to get stuff mended; I try to learn as much as I can, :)
Arizona… Still colder than usual, but compared to the rest of the world… We are warm. 🤪 my room says it’s 63. But I like it cold in the house especially at night when I’m sleeping.
I could not live with you. Dang that’s cold! I don’t like heat running when I sleep and we keep thermostat on 67 at night. That’s a heatwave for you😆
It gets down to 55 in my room. But I have this little stand up heater and that’s all I use. 😂🤣.
I’m hot all the time. I just started wearing shoes the other day. I’ve been wearing sandals. It’s the Kauai in me!
Doesn’t matter how cold it is I rarely have socks on in the house. I don’t like shoes! It’s flip flops, sandals or slip on tennis shoes. I wish I was in Kauai🌴🌊🌈
We sleep with a fan on and the heater vent is closed. We joke that it’s a meat locker in the bedroom.
I called my area the arctic! We built in Arizona room onto the house, so my mom is in the house at 75°, in my area is the arctic. Sometimes I have to turn the heat down when I go out and have dinner with her and watch a show. 😂🤣
Dang as we say in the south, it’s cold enough in here to kill hogs.
