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
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.
