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
Had my first shift at the new job today. Is it a glamorous job? Hell no. I portioned raw chicken for a few hours then did dishes and etc. But, it's something.
I seem to enjoy the people I work with. None of them seem like the type i'd dare talk "politics" with (They're all younger than me) but that's OK I can come here for that lol. I just worry that my body will let me get through my shifts, cause my pancreatitis bullshit is at a point where my stomach hurts pretty much all day every day.
Overall tho, it was a good day.
Have you considered or ever tried CBD oil for your stomach? I found it beneficial.
no offense but... lol
yeh fam if Pharmeceutical drugs dont help cbd wont. plus, i smoke. ill stick with real thc lol
Each to their own. It definitely helped when my stomach was removed and I couldn't eat due to having my mouth pipe reattached to my intestinal pipe 🤷
Yeah, I've heard it does great for some people. But, it's never done anything for my issues. I've tried everything from smokable, to drops, to gummies, to even rubbing a balm on my stomach.
But, like I mentioned with the pills - when i'm in the hospital and the pain level is at a 9, even IV painkillers barely make a dent. It takes it to like... a 7?
Give it a shot. Reports are very good.
Like I said - I meant even painkillers dont help, and ive tried cbd and it does absolutely nothing for me.
Proud of you friend.
Thanks i mean, do i want to be there? no. Would I rather pursue my actual passions (and or just be able to relax since my body is falling apart)? sure. but....
Life is life.
I was actually telling one of the kids I work with today (i say kid, hes like 20? but im 35 lol) about how i have sooo much music ive made and its crazy how i could wake up tomorrow and find one something went "viral" and never gotta worry about that bs again. But, at the same time - most people who get scooped into fame and fortune arent chosen for their talent theyre chosen to be a pawn in the game the industry plays. And i mean, if i could live comfortable for life off music? Well, God Bless. that would be amazing. But, in the entertainment industry there isnt much room for God.....and id rather struggle wearing his armor than be comfy without him.
I hope that happens for you with all my heart.
