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
The Oscars are tomorrow and I don't care. I grew up watching the Oscars and the pageantry. I worked nearly 30 years in the film Industry but don't even know which movies are up for an award tomorrow night. Mary Pickford helped start the Oscars to combat the Studio system. Maybe there will be a new dawn for Movie making. Who knows.
2024 is the year we thought 2020 was going to be.
Without 2020, 2024 could never have been the 2020 that should have been.
This is why Trump said in 2020 year end that we will look back to that year and say it was a great year.
Jimmy Carter still hanging on for dear life.
was there a significant event yesterday on the 8th?
Finished the 40 hour fast. Have to say, I was actually surprised about well it went! Noticed not only the expected weight loss, but no longer having sciatica pain. Looking forward to doing it again soon, this time shooting for 60 hours.
Good job. 78ish hours seems to be the sweetspot for me. With deep autophagy accessed for ~ a day or so at that point. More than that would routinely decrease my energy and mood to problematic levels.
I Speak the Name of Jesus Over YOU! 🙏

Beautiful. Thanks.
TY Fren!
Not Q related, but good for a laugh: https://twitter.com/rantinglydotcom/status/1766207919937220993
Lol. A dog's life, eh?
I was expecting to see an ultra-woke person with pink hair and multiple lip rings. Was pleasntly surprised!
I try my best to channel the spirit of KILLED BY THE OBASTURDS Joan Rivers. Here's two jokes I've come up with for everyone to use for free.
Victoria Nulandmass
If you're looking for a fat joke, Liz Cheney is ready to roll.

Step dad was listening to fox as ALWAYS, and had to chuckle a little when I heard them mention Cavanaugh! I literally just did a post on that!
Can Msm read my mind? 🤣 Idk what they said about him. Just heard name mentioned. And went , damn!
Don’t you know my dear that they know your thoughts before you even think them. 🥴😂
I’m beginning to believe that. My daughter asked me what’s a good brand bra. She’s stopped breastfeeding so needs new ones. I said give it a couple days and when the ads pop on instagram she can check them out. Sure enough a few days later I was messaging her the ads. It can be on any search engine, not just Google and social media.
Yep! They all spying on us.
🤣, I must've forgotten they do!
That’s ok, we all slip at times. 🤗🤪
Yesterday my energy level was low. So, I watched several videos, commented here on GAW, and wound up this morning with connecting some dots. Here's the dots from the activities yesterday:
I realized that I have strayed from writing down what work I see God doing daily to writing what I do daily, then only weekly. If one watches all the episodes of The Chosen, they will see that Matthew (Jesus' former tax collector disciple) wrote down everything he saw in great detail, meticulously, about Jesus. I consider these dots a wake up call. Time to correct my focus to what work is being done by God.
Press on Fren! Our reason to worship is our observation of His involvement. Walk closely fren!
👏👏👏 I’m happy to hear the Lord to speaking to you and show me your new things daily. He is a wonderful God.
That’s great, you had a full day. Yesterday was my birthday, and every year on that day I say I am going to begin documenting everything as well. So… once again I failed. I never slow down until I drop in the bed. I have so many irons in the fire, probably too many, but so many people depend on me. I’m grateful God gives me good health to do it. My friend took me for a wild night last night. We went to see a performance by Senior Follies 😂🤣. I watched all those older than me seniors up there singing, dancing and acting. They were fantastic. I said to my friend “ these people will live forever”. The most exciting thing I did yesterday was eat a delicious piece of cheesecake and 4 cheese ravioli at the Italian restaurant. So today I have to cut back because the scales said I had to. My time with Jesus is the most exciting time of my day, I’m so grateful for the loves he shows me everyday. As long as I have breath I will praise and glorify him.
I’m playing catch up on gen chat. Happy Belated Birthday 🥳 Sounds like you had a great day.
Thank you so much, it was a good weekend. Now I gotta get back on the wagon with my eating choices. Ate everything I didn’t need too but it sure was delish. Glad tomorrow is Monday 🥴
I’m glad you had a great weekend. We should celebrate the good days and it’s ok to splurge on bad foods. I went to eat bbq Saturday and ate there hush puppies. That’s better than before I’d bring home leftover hush puppies and eat for breakfast the next few days. I understand getting back on the wagon. For almost a month I was so off the wagon I couldn’t find the trail🤦🏻♀️ Being sick didn’t help my weight loss efforts. I’m down a pound of the 7 I gained.
It’s a never ending battle ain’t it? Well girl I sure hope you are getting back on the mend. That sickness really knocked you for a loop. I’ve been praying for you. 3 of my friends took me to supper Friday evening. We went to an independent owned Italian restraurant named Dolce Vida. I had the best 4 cheese ravioli I have ever had and the strawberry cheesecake was out of this world. Then we went to see the Senior Follies production of Bucket List at the local university theatre. Girl, those old people could dance, sing and act like nobody’s business. I said to my friends that those people will live forever. Then Saturday evening my friend of 35 yrs took me to the Galley on Lake Hartwell for supper. I had grilled chicken Parmesan with loaded baked potato and squash casserole. No dessert that time. My co worker that does the same job I do in the Spartanburg area sent me flowers and Lindt truffles. I was so surprised. The flowers are gorgeous. My sweet mother gave me cash. So yes, I had a fantastic weekend. God has been good to me. I’m so grateful for GAW, because I made a great friend in you.
I love good food, that’s my grandma’s fault because she cooked so good. I think the grandbaby is going to be the same. She talks, says yum & words IDK and grunts while she’s eating. Points at the food if you are too slow. Loves sweets like me. Praying she gets her dad’s genetics in metabolism. He and family are skinny. As much new found will power as I have it’s not enough to turn down sweets. I’ll give up carbs & bread for sweets. That’s why none are in the house. If I want something I buy one and enjoy it. The cheesecake sounds amazing. I love Italian food & Mexican so much I just knew I had it in my blood. Nope, none, I had it checked before I knew about the evils of ancestrydna. I’m glad you are surrounded by good friends and family. They sound wonderful. The seniors sound like a hoot🤣 Thank you for the prayers, we can’t too many of those. I’m finally back to myself. It tried to come back on me last week. I started taking herbs for sinus & another for infection. Everyone I know that was sick from October till now still have at least one nagging symptom. Thankfully I know what natural medicine helps. My daughter got pink eye last week and now it started with me. Mine it’s that bad. Supposedly you can get over it without eye drops. I’m treating with tea bags and saline rinse. It’s not bad at all. Just irritating to deal with. I’m thankful the baby didn’t get it. I’m thankful for you also💖 Enjoy your week and I’m sure we will talk soon.
Take good care of yourself and chat with you soon.
Happy belated birthday. It sounds like God bless you immensely.
Thank you so much. Yes he surely has. 🙏🏻
Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday.
I did. And I have no problem with being 59. I’m happy to be here. God has been so good to me, and I’m grateful ❤️
I'll be 69 on Monday. I too am grateful but sometimes I feel so embarrassed by the sins I committed over my lifetime. I know I'm forgiven but still the guilt can be overwhelming.
Happy Early Birthday. Don’t be ashamed, that is your past. God has forgiven you and only wants your present and future. The enemy lives in the past. He will torture you everyday if you allow it. Put him where he belongs, which is the past and move on . Great things will come your way once you do. 🙏🏻
The hardest thing is to forgive oneself. Just don't keep crucifying Christ. What He did once, all those years ago is sufficient.
So I take it we're invoking the 72-hour rule on that $91 million bond Trump just posted, right? Since I can't find any posts here about it, but PDW is dooming.
I know it'll work out in the end, but I was surprised to find nothing here.
He said he would take the slings and arrows.
Trust
He did, didn't he! Ty fren
I. am more interested in what gains WHs grab while the DS is distracted by this fake loss.
Fair enough!
John 12:12&13 12 The next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13 So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!”
God Bless! Ty
