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'm so happy I'm finally going to have Medicare. When Obamacare came out, where I was at you had to work full time to get health insurance, so they refused to give anyone fulltime hours. I think I started counting down the years to medicare at 15!
Gordon has a voice as smooth as honey. One of my favorites is Minstrel of the Dawn.
The 70's is one of the few decades with some great music. I do prefer the older stuff.
That’s great someone that’s worked all their life deserves to get what is promised. I listen to anything from the 60s forward, maybe some 50’s that get thrown into a playlist for 60-70. I was a teenager in the 80s and love the rock music. Listen to old and new country but selective as to who I listen to. Mainly singer songwriters that write amazing lyrics about life. Later Elvis, 70s will always be in my top rotation. Jimmy Buffet has always been a favorite. Right now I’m listening to Red Stray Clays a lot. I jump from one era to another depending on mood. The reason for my username, Moody Blue by Elvis. I chose music daily according to my mood. Led Zeppelin if I’m sad and sad soft rock songs when I’m happy. I know a little extra and crazy. My very top of my list is always in the current rotation weekly. Miranda Lambert, Eric Church, Kenny Chesney, Chris Stapleton, Brent Cobb, Sturgill Simpson and Tyler Childers (check him out. Has an usual voice and some of the best lyrics I’ve heard). You are going to make me do a deep dive into Lightfoot. I know his music. When it comes on serisxm in the car I hear him and wonder who it is and singing every word. There’s a lot of people from the 70s I don’t recognize but know the music. I’m making a playlist when I hear something old I know. Great chatting. Music is wonderful!
