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 evolving
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 just quit smoking! Haven't had one in five day's!!! I feel sometimes like I could walk up to a silver back gorilla and rip it's head off, but on the other hand the hostage rescue team isn't outside my house, so we're good. One thing I have noticed I am not sore like I usually am, I guess I've been pumping inflammation causing chemicals into my body for years. Well anyway it's getting better every day and that's it for me. Now it's off to the gym and get that High Power Lineman's bod I had years ago when I'd climb a dozen or more utility poles a day.
Yay! That is wonderful. Keep pushing through because nothing good ever comes easy. You will have that lineman climbing agility in no time. 👍
Congrats fren, it takes enormous will power to break off smoking and you are doing great. Keep it up and your future self will thank you profusely!
Thanks, my wife is going on the wagon too. We have a grandchild on the way and don't want any smoke around the new rug rat. So congrats all around I guess. Now we need to kick some cabal ass to give these new little ones a beautiful world to live in.
I'm so glad to hear this. My father in law smoked a heap. When he came in to see our newborn years ago all I could think was how disgusting it was
Perhaps you and your wife could focus your newfound energy on each other Wink wink 😉
