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
There are still good people in the world.
I have a friend coming to visit me in Hawaii tomorrow. I wanted to pick up some flowers, and sometimes people sell them on the side of the road here. I found a beautiful bouquet for $15 of Hawaiian flowers! There’s a box that you’re supposed to put the money in, and then you just drive away. It’s wonderful and amazing to live in a society where people do the right thing, because it’s the right thing to do. I would post a picture, but I don’t know how to do it in a chat. I would make an original post, but I’m pretty sure it would be banned. 🤷♀️
Sounds nice! Wish I was in Hawaii!
Did you ever read the Q posts? Did you have any questions we could help with?
I briefly got started on the posts, but since I’m in Hawaii for six weeks, I’m not having much time for that if you know what I mean. my family lives here and I’m housesitting, lots of responsibilities, and people visiting and taking them around the island. it’s so beautiful here.
My plan is to start reading the Q posts when I get home, and each day post one starting at the beginning and ask questions about it. I think that’s the best way for me to get a basic idea of what’s happening.
Thanks for much appreciated!
Oh that’s true. Didn’t realize you’ve been there for a while. Enjoy!! 😊

that’s pretty cool actually. I think having a free book library it’s a fantastic thing, because things on the Internet are changing all the time. Having a book makes it more solid.
Just found this… Obviously my phone was listening to me. lol…

we still have a bunch of DVDs, and I was going to get rid of them, but I decided not to. we still have a VHS and DVD player all in one. It still works fantastically. 😂😂😂
We have a vegetable stand down the road that is just like that, and a church in town that has a vegetable stand for the poor also. The church one just lets you take what you want and give an offering if you have the money. One of my friends I used to work with/ her husband/ raises the garden for the church. The poor in town are very appreciative of it.
that’s awesome to hear. People helping people
Yes. I thought it was a wonderful idea also.
...send it to me in a message and I will post it in Unleashed...
I don’t know how to do that 🤷♀️
...howls...
