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
Good night John Boy😀
Good night Mary Ellen! ❤️
I was wondering who would get that. I should watch that show again. Wholesome family TV is lacking today. Glad my child still loves the old stuff. Her favorites are Angy Griffin and I Love Lucy.
We gifted a book set of Laura Ingle Wilders little house series at a birthday, and the mom had zero recognition of Little House, the author, the TV show, nothing. Public school product, obviously. We shake our heads but also try and work out how to inspire the kids to explore the right stuff. Hopefully the books won't get tossed out.
When I was a homeschooled kid back in the 90's, we were allowed to watch tv in the afternoons after our school work was done. We LOVED Ozzy and Harriet, Dobie Gillis, Hopalong Cassidy, The Real McCoys, and Annie Oakley. There are probably a couple of others that I can't remember; it seemed like the local station would cycle through the old series. I miss that kind of tv.
