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

Advice, Guidance or just plain good ol' make fun here. Issue: unable to upload or post a picture or gif as part of my response to a conversation in a post.
Not sure what I'm doing incorrectly but often times i see a good argument where I have an excellent photo to reinforce or validate a position with and I cannot do so. I also understand that if everyone does it, it could clog up the original argument. Is this the normal process? I have in the past observed folks here able to do so. Is there a procedure or way to include a photo? If so, would someone kindly advice or guide me on how to? To be fair, I will never drop anything that would be outrageously offensive, maybe "slightly" but only if it fit the narrative argument. Thank you.
You can use animated gifs from an approved list. This is because we're at war and we don't want shills posting CP and garbage.

This should get you going: https://greatawakening.win/p/142BF5stO8/
If you want to post anything else, kick it up to catbox.moe and link it. This would include photos, animations, video, documents or anything else.
Progress!! Thank you!!!!!!
If you want to provide a photo as a reponse to a post or comment, you have to upload it to a site like imgur or catbox etc, and put the link into the comment.
Unfortunately, thats the only way in this site.
Most apprecoated. I understand the defensive barriers against the shills. Thank-you for taking the time.
Check the sidebar of the site; there's some custom images available to use. Not sure if GAW enables user images in comments. You may have to upload the file somewhere like catbox.moe and provide a link.
Thank you.
i didn't see a deadhead sticker on a Cadillac, but i did see a LGB sticker on a prius.
What’s MFSL CD? I don’t care about as a person but I do like his voice.
I'm trying to figure that out too, and before PepeSee replies. like a trivia game🤔...
edit;
must be a special recording, maybe it sounds better... The End of the Innocence by Don Henley (CD, Mar-1998, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab)
I have a problem. Two weeks ago, I had a full on ecosystem going on in my yard. I had ladybugs, aphids, a few spiders and of course, flies in the evening when it’s cool. I don’t use chemicals for bug abatement of any kind. I use garlic, cayenne and dish soap. Anyway, the ladybugs were doing the job with the aphids. Then I noticed not one aphid left on my roses. I thought the ladybugs had eaten them all but there are no ladybugs, either. No flies! What happened? No bugs hardly at all. Anyone in the NV area notice this?
What is the process with the garlic, cayenne and dish soap?
I cut up a full bulb of raw garlic and steep it in very hot water. Let it sit overnight. Strain the solids from the water and add a tsp of dish soap and a 1/4 tsp of hot pepper. I used the cayenne and had to put a tea bag on the bottom of my sprayer nozzle to keep it from clogging. I’m going to try just hot sauce next time. It doesn’t kill anything, either. It just repels them for a few days.
Thank you for the information, will give it a try. 👍
You’re very welcome!
That’s just weird! If you are missing bugs I can send some if I can figure out how to wrangle them up in a box without getting bitten🤣 In eastern North Carolina bugs don’t die in the winter. I walked the mailbox yesterday mosquitoes and gnats were hovering around me.
Lol! No, thanks! I just find it so strange. We have a few spiders and a few mosquitoes but nothing like usual. I live within a mile of a reservoir in the desert. Gnats seem to be more abundant than the rest.
There’s no telling what’s going on. Something could have been released in the air that killed the bugs. I’m also wondering if something eats these bugs. I’ve seen the videos and reports of over population of cicadas in certain areas. Wonder if it’s related.
At this point, I think it’s all related. I’m such a “conspiracy theorist “ that I think everything is here to kill us off. The one genus of bug that seems to be doing okay is the hornet. I saved one from the dogs’ water bucket the other day. Now when I go out there, seven of them come to visit me! They float on the water and then fly a little bit. I can’t help but be secretly pleased that they think I’m okay. They’re very playful!
Playful hornets? Make sure to listen to Trumps snake poem my dear 😂🥴
I think of that a lot 😉but they actually come out from under a tree I haven’t pruned yet and they float on the water in the dogs’ bowl. I wish I could show you video of this. There are two that are out all the time and then the others come when I get there. Besides, what’s the worst that could happen? I get stung and it hurts? If I’m allergic then it’s my time to go meet my Maker😁. They also dine out of the hummingbird feeder, as do the few bees that are left.
Hmm… sounds like you have become the bee whisperer, or better yet the Queen Bee ❤️
Get a brown paper bag and fill it a little with crumpled newspaper. Tie a string around the neck and hang it near the water bowl. Spray it with scotch guard to make it waterproof.
Hornets are territorial - if they see what appears to be an existing nest, they don't hang around for fear of being attacked. This also works to repel wood bees etc. I do this every year to keep hornets, wasps and wood boring bees away from the chicken coop... works great.
I don’t know that I want to drive them away. They’ve been here for a few years. At least I see them out every spring. I’m worried about the lack of insects. Something just seems off to me. I appreciate the advice, though. If they ever become a problem, I’ll try this.
bugs will move on to a new food source, so no aphids, nothing to eat.
I agree but where are the flies? Our evenings are cool and usually the flies show up. Not so lately.
that is a mystery, we used to get june bugs all the time, lots of them, for the past 5 years hardly any, the would bang against the screen, stumble all over the place, I thought maybe the chickens had been eating the grubs in early spring, but I have always had chickens. This year, not a one, and I use no herbicides or pesticides in my gardens or outdoors.
I live in central Texas, and I have also noticed hardly any bugs this year. Interesting.
Well I’m fighting ants. Any recommendations- killing the Scout Ants with dove soap and vinegar
I have had an unusual invasion of red ants this year. I boil water, vinegar, and dish soap and pour onto the mound early in the morning, and it helps to reduce the numbers but in a week or so, I have to do it again. The numbers get smaller, but still some remain.
I had some garden salt and a little bit of course Himalayan salt I wasn’t going to use. I poured it on fire ant hills. Grass is dead and so are the ants.
I would try dawn and vinegar instead of dove. My husband usually sprays the entire yard and around the house once a year and we don’t even get bugs inside. He’s got a big tank sprayer on the four wheeler.
it will not kill them but they will move away from any area you sprinkle coffee grounds on, I use it in the garden all the time.
Thanks!
Used it fresh grounds

Something up.. fetterneck was using a speak and spell and he's coherent now too
So many habbenings right now on every front... central casting characters "out of character", several things with finance - like GME, SA petrodollar, brics, market manipulation exposed in several ways, increased talk about nukes, declas/disclosure of UFO/UAP tech (MH370, Sal Pais patent declas), more exposure of other things more and more each day...

Another Uvalde outrage

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…
https://youtu.be/2N0UtCcIEJY
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...
😂😂😂
At the risk of sounding like a spambot...
Guys, this is an URGENT MESSAGE and my family needs help IMMEDIATELY.
I told you before that my stepfather has serious heart problems.
Today, we found out exactly what those are. He has a thickening of the left ventricle wall, which the doctor (yes, I know) says is caused by stress and anxiety. He could have a heart attack or a stroke at any moment.
What nutritional therapy should I give him here? Thanks to you, I know to get L-Lysine and magnesium taurate/glycinate. Anything in addition to that?
Or should we begin preparing for end-of-life care? He is in his early 70s, and I swear it's largely because he won't stop watching cable news every night and getting all worked up...
On top of all of that, my brother lost his job today.
Pray for us, please. We don't want the poop to hit the fan for us before Trump returns.
Dear Heavenly Father I lift up our Fren BNU at this time. You are more aware of the situations going on in the family than we are because nothing takes you by surprise. I ask for you to bring healing to the heart of her stepfather, just create in him a new and clean heart. Also touch his mind and take away the things that upset or stress him and replace it with faith and peace. Also put the brother in a new job that he can flourish and grow in. Help him to know his help only comes from you. I praise and thank you in advance for the good results we will soon see because you are a kind and loving Father.
God bless you and your family, BNU. So sorry for your suffering. The posted suggestions here are truly excellent.
Heavenly Father, We pray for BNU stepfather. Please heal his heart Lord and show the family the way in which to keep him healthy. Take away his stress and anxiety Lord and give him the good news that will soon arrive for us all. We pray also for BNU's brother who lost his job. We know Lord that one door isn't closed without another one opening. We know you have a much better job awaiting him Lord. We thank you for all things Lord as we ask for your blessings for this family. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
I'm hoping you've read this thread already: https://greatawakening.win/p/17t1yJNoJV/my-personal-story-on-how-i-100-c/
I believe that is the immediate short-term therapy that will most help him. Long term, carnivore diet (or moving closer to it by going low-carb) and plenty of sea salt in the food.
And I'm joining in on the prayer chain. God, you are the supreme healer and omnipotent provider: we ask that you shelter this family in your tender care. Thank you.
I forgot about this topic. Thank you. Will relay.
Dear Heavenly Father we lift up BNU and their family. we specifically are praying for their father, and his heart condition. we ask you to give the doctors wisdom and knowledge on how to handle the situation, and we ask you for a complete healing of this situation. we pray for comfort and guidance for the family during this time, and that you would find a job for the other family member - and get them back to work immediately. we ask all these things and your precious name Jesus - Amen
