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
Speaking of vaccines those of us with the smallpox scare (that didn’t tan) will be the minority. I’ve always been able to get an estimate of age by those. I’m not in favor of vaccines but those scars were cool to me growing up. When I could see it I knew I had a great tan.
Dang I replied and forgot to comment on greekish🙄🤯🤣🤬 oh there’s so many emojis 🥵 air
I tan good but not like that. It’s split in my family and weird. My uncle gets really tan like an Indian and my mom and I always tan really good but more a deep golden. My brother and cousin has the deep dark tan like my uncle. My brother can go out for half day and I don’t get that dark if I am out every day of the summer. I have a tanning bed and have never been that tan. Speaking of tanning bed you know how the doctors ask if you smoke, drink, tanning bed etc. Anything that the insurance companies see as you will get sick they want to track you. I don’t smoke but I lie on the other questions. Say I don’t drink or tan. None of their business.
