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 haven't had a common cold in a long time. Feels bad man.
Hope you feel better soon. I’d rather give birth to baby than have a cold & that wasn’t a pick nick. Take care of yourself and rest. A couple weeks ago my granddaughter got sick from her dad’s family. My daughter and I got sick. It’s weird the older you were the worse your symptoms were.
Thank you!
Hope you feel better soon!
Reminder...If sore throat - gargle with salt water to explode the surface cells...
Avoid dairy and sugar - infections love nothing better...
Lots of clear fluids....Lots of rest - Yes, laying around judging yourself for being a lazy POS is part of the process...
Observe how when you're sick, less trivial things matter...
Ty anon. Yes my throat feels awful, it's def going into my chest now. I'll do the salt water. What does exposing the surface cells help with?
When you gargle with salt:
8oz warm water + 1/2 tsp salt
Move your "swallowing" muscles/soft tissues if you can, but obviously don't swallow...
