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
So every morning I email my husband 3 things I am thankful for because in his line of work, all he hears all day long are complaints and whining, so I decided a while back that nobody should have to listen to complaints all day long without at least something positive to offset the negative, and now he looks forward to the 3 Things email from me each morning. If I miss a day, he will text me to see if I am "okay" because he hadn't heard from me. : )
If there is somebody in your life that you know has a stressful line of work, send them something positive in their workday to help break up the constant flow of negativity. It's the little things in life. : )
That's awesome! Great idea. Thanks for sharing this. It's great you have this type of relationship.
I heard this reading your post 😉
I haven't heard that song in forever! It's easy to stand by my man. We have been in love since we were teenagers. Sometimes we fuss at each other like teenagers too, but I'd still take a bullet for him LOL.
