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.

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
Well I learned something about treating viral sinus, head etc infections. Ran across this video when searching for herbs that help viral colds. Maybe this can help someone stop the crud. I’m a day late and dollar short once again. Giving it my all if I’m not better by mid week guess I’ll have to go to dr. This mess came back on my granddaughter also. Thank God she’s not as sick as me. Small blessings and I’ll take em.
Copied from transcript on video: Antibiotics only address bacteria—they don't target yeast, parasites, viruses, fungus, or mold. This natural antimicrobial remedy uses powerful chemicals from plants that have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antiparasitic properties to help support the immune system and fight against pathogens.
Of course, this antibiotic/antimicrobial home remedy has fewer side effects than a conventional antibiotic. Your immune system is your greatest weapon against infections. All we want to do is use natural compounds to enhance the immune system's defenses.

Hubby was nice enough to shop for me today. Bringing out the big guns to knock this junk out. Just made a home remedy drink: Ginger, Lemon, Garlic, Raw Honey & Manuka honey. Just drank Sitopaladi and oregano oil with OJ, link below. Doesn’t taste great because of Oregano oil. I ordered it by mistake instead of capsules and trying to use it.

My company sent out an email asking people to self-identify thier race and gender for their ESG bull shit. If they do not get a reply they will ask people who work with me to get the information.
Trying to think of some way to troll them.
That’s crazy! Check the other box or box says rather not say. Better yet say you are a cat or dog. At my neice’s christian school there’s a girl that identifies as a cat. We are living in strange times.

We are approaching the end of Trump's "5 months" and it feels the tide is starting to turn on Joe Biden.
It's been amusing fun watching the fake mainstream media jumping through hoops trying to fix his gaffes and blunders.
Tylenol overdose is the leading cause of liver transplants in the US
Now combine that with alllll the ppl who pop tylenols or advil in the morning to kill a hangover. Oof

What is Trump getting at here? Why mention Swift?
Possibly dispelling the rumors that she is an asset. Or if she is, she’s a white hat asset and will either endorse Trump or endorse nobody. Ooooor….. she will endorse Biden and trump will use it as a liberal lunacy redpill? I interdasting post either way.
Thank you
What if swift having ice spice aka orphan Annie at the super bowl is comms?
Plus her real name is .... Isis Naija Gaston. ... really... Isis!

What do you think of Laurie Buckout? I keep seeing her commercials. These people are so fake in campaign ads that you just don’t if they are legit.
What could go wrong?

My granddaughter loves TV for cats. Better than woke cartoons. She’s not glued to it. I turn it on when she’s sleepy and it calms her. Chipmunks are so darn cute. We don’t have them here only aggravating squirrels. Chipmunks can probably get aggravating as well. Can’t believe they can stuff whole peanuts in there cheeks.

Is this "Binder" the news is talking about the red folder Trump held up in the tent on Jan 6 before his speech?
I’ve seen pictures of Trump and Putin with red regular file folders. They were in separate pictures with same type folder. Who knows if that was photoshopped. Folder Putin gave Tucker was a grey binder folder with a flap.
is anyone else seeing autocorrect suddenly broken?
Yes. Autocorrect used to great. But as of about a year ago, autocorrect became retarded. Whatever was changed with it made it terrible.
I turned it off on my phone. Probably not smart since I’m a terrible speller.
Sorry… Greekish hasn’t been around for a while?
Speaking of u/Greekish ... I've always appreciated his "willing edits", often delivered with a little spice, as it raises the bar for all of us.
Amen sista!
Personally, I did not. I don’t need an editor to come through a low key commenting forum - to check all of my grammar and spelling. Also, some of us use Siri, and she will change text even after you press save.
If people publicly request you to not come behind them, and try to correct everything that I comment on, and then you have to direct message them, and ask again - to me that means they’re just an asshole, and they think they’re superior to everyone else.
I had to send direct messages to this person to ask them to stop, and they would not. They were rude and disrespectful. Apparently at one time they were an editor of some sort? I guess he felt the need to come here and continue with that job, I guess without getting paid though?
Insufferable. That’s the only word I can use to describe the interaction I had with that person.
Don’t know why you were downvoted, ugh! Yeah there’s a certain peron here I don’t talk to. Aggravating as all get out! I’m the first to admit I didn’t like school and it shows. I’ve never been a strong speller. It’s bad when google doesn’t recognize what you are typing. Amen on talking to smart phones for dictation. They don’t understand southerners. I don’t even try.
We’ll… I’m not purfect with wirds, butt - I really twy hard two fitt in! 😂🤣🤪
Don’t make me laugh then I cough and run to the bathroom🤣 Men don’t know nothing about that. Curse of being a woman.

Not exactly the challenge presented, but close enough I think. Wink wink… Nod, nod!
SEEMS TOO BEE WORKLING GRAAT FIR ME
👏👏👏
Second year in a row I have to open a a support ticket for disgusting looking flowers. I ordered from "reputable" places too! I really need to grow my own.
That sucks! My daughter bought roses from Sam’s for granddaughter’s birthday party on the second and they still look good. Who would have thought flowers from Sams would be worth anything.
What’s the deal with this website, the community stylings are all messed up and it looks like crap now. No stickies no nothing. Still looks good on TD is this happening to anyone else?

Have a blessed day.
Have anyone notice the amount of cruel videos of people abusing dogs, cats, other animals posted on X? Is it only me seeing this or have others also noticed?
This is sick. Something I pray against. Report what you see. Tell Elon. I’m sure he has a way to find out where this is happening at. Animals are pretty much outmatched against evil. It’s up to us to stop it, forever.
The cruelest in China. Some of the other in India and then others I cannot identify. I am just so sick of these demons.
Maybe I will stop going to X. I think maybe that's why they are doing this to drive people away from X
I rarely get on X and haven’t seen it other places. I’m seeing lots of posts on local facebook groups lost dogs and cats. It’s been bad past six months. Some say coyotes are getting them. I think it’s a combination of things. People steal them, pets sneak out and don’t come back for different reasons. When people post free puppies or kittens others say don’t give away because people use them for big dogs to kill.
It makes me really upset to see what people do to animals.
Do you mean people abusing animals on video, or rescuing animals have been abused and neglected?
Abusing animals. Burning them alive on the street or throwing them into waterway and walk away.
Yikes. No I haven’t seen anything thing like this. Thank God!

I’m pet sitting for a client right now, and they have three little dogs. One of them is a Chihuahua with wobbler syndrome. It’s very difficult for him to walk, but he does. I have to carry him outside to do his business, but he’s able to make it back into the house on his own. He does fall down from time to time, but he gets right back up. He’s such a little fighter, and play fights with the other Chihuahua, even though he has no teeth. He hasn’t given up!
I love this little dog, because he reminds me of each of us. Every day, we all face insurmountable problems. Whether they are financial, spiritual, physical, or emotional… We’re all just fighting to get by in this world right now. We may fall down once in a while, and be a little wobbly in life, but we get right back up and keep going.
I salute each and everyone of you for all of your hard work and perseverance during these difficult times. I pray for all of you, that the Lord will continue to give you the strength to get up when you fall down, just like this little wobbly dog. He is a fighter! 👏👏👏
The wobbly dog thread, love it!
That we didn’t know we needed. 👏👏👏
You are so awesome! My precious Max had to have assistance in the end to do his business. His back legs gave out. I’d carry his back end with a sling, (he was a pit bull). I miss that dog with all my heart. He died Sept. 17 of last year- a month after he turned 15. He was the best protector we have ever had.
Wow, sweet! Yes, it’s a little bit more difficult with a larger dog, and I have seen other people with slings. I’m happy you have those wonderful memories with your dog. Pities get a bad rap, but they really one of the best dogs out there. 🥰
One of my favorite pet sitting jobs was over the holidays for three weeks with a gray and white pitbull! He was such a sweetheart!
They have tender hearts. Mine was so protective of my grandkids, ducks and cats. He would do this weird scent grabbing thing when someone new entered the family. He would get close and breathe in and out deeply. He’d repeat this until he got their profile, so to speak. After this, they’d belong to him and would be accepted and defended.
Such a great protector. 👏👏👏
So nice. Thanks.
Finished the first season of Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation. 23 episodes plus one side-story OVA.
I...God, I'm conflicted about this one.
On one hand, this was far more entertaining and enthralling than I expected, because the protagonist's previous life, which is so often flashed back to, is so relatable to my own. At least I had an excuse--he didn't, heavy bullying aside. But he recognized his second chance and didn't waste it so far, which is commendable, and he's going out of his way to not repeat his past mistakes--though his old flaws certainly show up every few episodes, they don't get in the way of more important things. There are no Mary Sues or Gary Stus or whatever--everyone has flaws, certainly the protagonist's new father.
On the other hand...as I noted in my previous recaps, there are just too many red flags to ignore. Of all the names the author chose for a certain warrior woman, he chose Ghislaine? It's even pronounced correctly, with the silent S! Not to mention a guy named Sauros, who, while an asshole, gets blamed for something horrible that wasn't his doing and is punished severely for it, which just makes me think how George Soros isn't the tippy-top of the pyramid, bad as he is.
This is going to sound weird, but...I really think that you all need to watch this show.
I'm serious. With all that I stated above, I want everyone on GAW to check this anime out. Maybe you'll catch something I missed.
I even considered making an actual post for this recommendation, but didn't think it was Q-related enough--should I do so anyway? I feel like more eyes need to be on this series, knowing what we know now.
That being said, I don't want Crunchyroll to get your money, either...yet I feel like even just recommending piracy would be a violation of the rules, even without stating how or where. Maybe if the site has a free trial?
For the record, I watched it on Blu-Ray, legally purchased a while ago.
Okay, I started watching the show. It was quite nice for the first 2 episodes and I was starting to enjoy it. Then in the third season they actually show full frontal nudity of kids. That should be illegal even in an anime and definitely not something I can continue watching.
Whoa. That...I got nothing. What the fuck. Loss for words.
(edit after some time to think)
I don't blame you one bit for stopping.
Starting to see why the original author used a pen name...
Hmm .. you didnt see the scene? Perhaps it was censored on blu-ray ? This was when he meets the girl with long ears and green eyes who was being bullied, and they start becoming friends and once they get caught in rain and come back to his place to take shower.
No, I only saw the first season, as I said in my opening line.
...Oh, you mean the third episode.
Um, yeah, I forgot about that. I didn't like that either. That was before I really started to notice the signs...
Still, again, can't blame you. I'm sorry I recommended it.
No worries fren.
Great words to live by.
Never apologize for being patriotic! F-em Toby Keith
F-em
Was looking for cheap Chinese food tonight and struggled to find it.
Really, a lost art. Something about comfortable, no frills Chinese. And not Panda Express, that is not even food. I mean, that greasy, filing, local stuff.
Who else here loves it?
Our Chinese restaurant owners got a great price on their place last year because of good location and retired. No more Chinese takeout for us either.
No regrets at all for moving out of NYC in 1977. But I have to admit, it was the best place for cheap and good Chinese food. There are restaurants in the small towns up here in the wilds of Vermont, but the customers are few and I don't trust the food as much, it certainly isn't fresh, the delivery truck brings large cans of pre made american chinese, frozen blocks of meat, all coming from Boston and NYC. I try to replicate some of it in my own kitchen, but I sure do miss it.
I don’t care for anything at Panda Express except the Beijing Beef. Absolutely wonderful.
I found this commercial kitchen near me which is rented out by this woman who makes traditional Chinese fair but with high quality ingredients. It’s much better than processed crap like Panda AND she gives you those ridiculous portions. I ordered crab Rangoon and some Szechuan chicken and it lasted me four meals
I spent my formative years in Singapore and Hong Kong, wonderful food, washed down with Tiger or San Miguel beer. Especially Singapore street hawker food.
My son goes to Thailand. He said the street food there is second to none- and cheap! They have 7/11s there but they sell much healthier food. You can eat all day for well under $10. He said people are so kind there. There are so many that everyone is courteous to each other, like Japan.
Thailand is great the money conversion is about 35 to 1 so you can eat for about 3 days on 10 bucks lol.....moving to Koh Samui soon...:)
My son is moving this year! Everything is sooooo cheap. Round trip flights around that part of the world for well under $200. The food, though, and the MMA events are what he talks so much about. Maybe you guys will run into each other. He’ll stick out like a sore thumb 😄. He’s a big man. He also mentioned all of the beautiful cats there. The Thai people see them as a sign of good luck or prosperity, I can’t remember which. They’re free roaming and the people feed them and love them. It’s so cool!
and yes my girl there feeds about 7 of them hahaha
yes from bangkok over to Samui you can take the ferry or a plane flight is about 50 bucks. I am not such a big guy but it would be cool to run into another immigrant lol. the house i am looking to get looks amazing and converted its about 286000, 3 br 2 bath a pool and you can pee in the ocean from there lol.....it is an amazing place if you have never been there GO.....lol.. yes cats are a big thing there
My son said something about foreigners not being allowed to own property there, so please research before you drop the money. I’m so happy for you guys. It’s bittersweet, though. My son, and I’m guessing you, have lost hope that America is the greatest country on earth. She’s down right now, but she will be That shining city on a hill once again. My advice to my son is to never give up your American citizenship. The rest of the world is a different place and you currently have guaranteed rights, even though those rights are being trampled on now. Good luck and God bless you both!
yes he is correct but there is a way to do it if he wants to get something there check into a visa service, i use Thai visa experts in bangkok...it is a bit complicated but doable....have not given up on this country you can carry a dual citizenship there..... will not go until Trump is back in lol..America is still the greatest country Thailand is fuked up too just smaller lol....dont piss off the king drop a few bucks for budda and your good to go....
