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
btw I love that first part you said because when I say local I mean... I share a fence with them lol I open my gate take 2 steps through some grass and im in the church parking lot. If you're in my driveway you can see their cross above our garage i thought that was neat even before I found God but now it hits different.
Anyway I say that because one day I was outside playin with my dog and i happened to hear somethin goin on over there - a few of the dads brought their kids to play hockey in the parking lot. So, when they were ready to call it a wrap I popped over and told them hey go head and cool down downstairs or whatever u wanna do but ill get all of this packed up for ya
That was very kind of you to reach out as a neighbor. And be helpful to others. I have found that in my journey with the Lord, when I take the attention off myself, it’s so much easier walk. I to have suffered with drug addiction and depression, and I am free indeed.
Honestly I didn't really even think about it I just happened to be outside and was like hey that'll be neat if they dont have to pack all that stuff up and just enjoy the fun afternoon they had
"Do unto others" would be the biblical way to put it - but, I like how Eyedea put it when he said...
"I'm here for you, the same way you're here for me
we're all just intricate pieces of infinity"
( RIP Eyedea. )
