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
They say in every life a little rain must fall; but yesterday I had a total downpour. My DIL Tiffany missed work last week due to her and baby girl Ninky having Covid. Then she got back to work Tuesday and her grandmother who had to be hospitalized for pneumonia suffered a stroke and now is being taken off of life support. Her grandmothers brother suffered a massive heart attack Tuesday also. Then my phone rang and it was my husband in severe pain calling to ask me to get him something for either Covid or the flu. Then her little boy who had just gotten out of school was crying and running a temp. Then my DIL who was about to leave to go to the hospital called her husband/my son and he said his boss just laid him and another guy off from work due to inflation and other things. Then once I waited for him to get home so I could leave, my son came in sick as a dog and freezing. He probably has the Covid she just had. It was a nightmare.
Once I left, I went straight to Tractor Supply as I am running low of Ivermectin and bought 3 tubes of the Horse paste. Picked up some TheraFlu also for Hubby's aches and pains. Called my son and asked if he'd like a tube of it; in which he said all he wanted was warmth and sleep. Will check on him today after my Doctors appt. And how was your day? Prayers are much needed at this time. Thanks to all my friends who have a soft and kind ear for listening. God bless you all.
Sounds like pouring for sure. Prayers coming your way. You sound like you are as loving & tough as my mother.
You family is blessed to have you with them.
Thank you. At this time I believe my family can use all the prayers they can get. God bless.
Yikes that’s a lot to take on. Will be praying for you and your family.
Thank you Michele. God bless.
I was sharing with my mom your situation. She’s praying for you as well. 🙏
Thank you. Tell your mom she is a blessed lady to have you for her daughter.
Sorry to hear about all your and your family's suffering, and I pray that you receive comfort, solace, peace, and recovery from your pain as well as your family receiving the same. God bless
Thank you too. It was a bam, bam, bam day for sure.
prayers for a hedge of healing protection around you and your loved ones.
Thank you friend. And all the others who are outpouring prayers for my family. God bless.
God bless you Mary911
Thank you friend. No updates yet on the DIL grandmother. I suppose I need to call my son today and ask and also ask how he is feeling. Then I'll ask if he's got any job leads. As for my husband, he has taken 2 doses of Ivermectin and the chills and hot flashes have gone. He finally ate last night as he hadn't eaten anything since Tuesday night supper. So he is feeling much better. I've been dosing him also with Vitamin C and he's drinking a lot of apple juice. So he has improved greatly. Thanks again.
Praying for you all, stay strong.
Thank you my dear friend. I haven't heard from you lately. Hope all is well with you and your daughter. God bless.
Thanks Mary, she is getting a lot better. Calls me more often and we talk like old times, and she listens more about the stuff that's going on. Progress :)
Praise the Lord. I am so happy that you too are connecting more and that all is going well with you both. One day, she too will find someone else to share her life with. I am so sorry about her husband. We will lay that at the Lord's feet. Amen.
