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
Just had my chase credit card get rejected even though I have plenty of credit. About 20 people around me had the same issue. Only cash or debit cards worked
Noice! We are getting there.
Honestly, everytime I got to a shop (making sure I have some cash in the pocket) and I swipe the card, I have this little anticipation - is this the time when it all stops working? is it time yet? is t?
Haha, if I were in your situation I wouldn't have been able to control myself from screaming "Yesssss, precipice, baby!" like a lunatic! 🤣
I felt that way too but was like hmm, I still got my debit card to work so not sure if this is it. I don’t want to carry cash unless I’m ok with it happening more often. What you look for is often times what you see. I have been thinking about this lately with the potential bank issues.
I love this board! General Chat is always my first go-to because the chats are like sitting around a campfire with my friends and family enjoying one another's company. The rest of the board is always so interesting and has some very helpful information. Sometimes when I am feeling confused, I can come here and read the various posts of others and it helps point me in the direction of deeper information that what the mainstream narrative allows us to know. Thanks so much to all of you for just holding the line and keeping it real! Love y'all! ((Hugs))
Hey frens, I’m so blessed to be a part of this community, especially gen chat. Wanted to thank you again for your prayers concerning my granddaughter. You, my family & I were praying. She went from laying on her mom not moving her hand (no ice because it hurt) then to running around like she wasn’t hurt. Her wrist isn’t swollen or bruised. God is great! Have a great weekend💕
God is good all the time
Hallelujah! I'm so happy for the good news! God's blessings over your granddaughter!
Thanks fren.
August 17th. A plan to transform Humanity. A few weeks back I shared the idea of the US people creating God's Line of Credit for a Quadrillion Dollars. It was to be used to rescue the Country and then be paid down over the next 1000 years. We would transition from the old currency to a new stable currency. There would be a period of running parallel. Once the USA got their LOC up and running, they would help other Nations administer a similar LOC creating jobs and a new industry as well as an excitement for the future and a strong sense of Hope. My idea to get the transition in motion is to shoot a movie called the Great Awakening. This movie would be filmed by anyone with a camera. A film is an investment, not an expense. So everyone investing in the film would have their investment secured as an asset. The strategy of the Movie, would consist of hiring anyone not working as an Extra and feeding them and then providing them with steps in the game plan to secure themselves and plan for the future. Trump Media would have the exclusive rights to show the movie in the USA. Highlights could be shown on X to create a competitive spirit between Cities, Regions and States. This movie will be ongoing for the next 1000 years. So if you invest in it during Humanities darkest hour, you will do very well in the future. Trump Media would also sell commercial spaces because this is the only show Americans are currently watching because they are seeing how Cities and States across America have stabilized and are showing highlights across America of America rebuilding itself. People will become Heroes as they take responsibility & initiative and lead a better way forward. The Corporations that support the Great Awakening by paying for advertising slots, will be considered friends of the Great Awakening. Essentially by supporting the system early on, you are helping to save America and also helping your own fate. The max one individual can invest is $1 million. Or a million equivalent in assets such as food, or other needed assets. You can invest more but you need another person to go under you so the investment is spread out so huge wealth can't overwhelm to control of the The Great Awakening Movie Project. When the God's Line of Credit is up and running you'll be paid back plus you'll have a share of the profits going into the future..That is the rough idea. Cities and Nations will write their futures and how they all fit together in a symbiotic and productive system. More ideas to follow. God Bless

Happy August 17. Last year on this date was Vivek on Tucker [Episode 17 btw]
Where will V end up in the Trump admin 3.0?
Today's the 17th BTW...
Sometimes I wonder what will become of this site if Trump wins in November and everything's on track and doing well...kinda sad really... but I don't think things are going to be all rosey going forward - just yet. Are we still gonna hang out? (Probably... we've still got so far to go)
In case you missed it, this video was well worth watching. I shotgunned it last night at 1.5x speed because I needed to sleep but was highly intrigued...I think you'll really like it - The Future of America Many gaps filled in by the guy regarding our history - makes perfect sense. Have a look/listen. You're gonna love it.
Trump becoming president is not the end of our journey, it’s quite literally almost the beginning. This forum is not going anywhere. At the very least, we will be here celebrating our WINS! However; Trump becoming president again will just ensue a plethora of kitchen sink being thrown at us. we will still have to be fighting this deep state pedophile conglomerate!
No doubt... just thinking out loud...
Okay, which one of you Anons put a frog in my guest bathroom? How and where it came from I don't know, but he was staring at me sitting in the bottom of the tub. Guess when my husband wakes up, I'll have him go get him out.
Wasn’t me I’ve touched one in my life and that an accident. I was cleaning out my fish pond years ago, standing over it throwing leaves out. I grabbed a big bull frog and I didn’t like it. Few years later I came in from the pool, took shower and a green frog is in the shower. I’m yelling to my husband to get him. Come to think of it I haven’t seen green frogs this year. The are usually on my windows at night.
Glad you got him. Better a frog than a snake! If a snake gets in open the windows and leave home for a while.
I hear you. Definitely don't get along with snakes. I was weeding around my roses once about 15 years ago and I reached behind one bush and saw the brightest shiny copper penny and realized it was a baby copper head snake. That did it for me as I no longer weed around anything. If I can't mulch it; forget it.
All right - you caught me… It was me 😂😂
The next time you may not be so lucky.
🐸😂
Why do men get all the fun jobs? Frogs feel really cold to the touch. I love 'em.
I don't like the feel of squishy creatures.
We Pepes are everywhere!
He's a fast little booger. I just went back in there and he was on a door to the sink. He is simply too fast. I know when my stepdaughter gets up it will scare her to death. I can almost picture it. Kek!
Why not leave a phone around so he can post on this site? We'll watch for "Mary911's Pepe."
I suppose I should make him breakfast. That may coax him out.
Fly soup?
He vill eat ze bugz and he vill be happy.
C'mon Mary... you're supposed to give him kisses and turn him back into a prince!
He was yelling for you and everything..."no coincidences!"
😁😁😁
Help! The frog is now loose in the bathroom. He climbed the shower curtain and when I didn't see him in the tub, I shook the curtain. He fell out on the floor. I reached for some paper towels and then he jumped when I tried to grab him. He is somewhere hidden behind the toilet. I hope he doesn't go under the bathroom door because then he will be everywhere.
".... although I wasn't planning on doing a serious deep cleaning on the bathroom today, that's how it all started..."
😂😂😂
SUCCESS! A husband and a cottage cheese bowl. The frog jumped back in the bathtub and so he scooped him up. He said it was a brown tree toad. Oh well. A distant cousin I suppose. Let him out the front door. Have a blessed day.
Most trees are brown. And toads are warty - not at all like frogs.
To me it was a frog as I saw no warts.
Husband is awake now. He thought he was hearing things when I told him. I asked him to please find it before it gets in the house and we can't find him.
If you had farm animals, he would have already been up...😁
I don't think he's the farmer type. I'm the one who lets the dog out in the morning several times before I leave. If it were left to him, it would probably be a messy floor.
You allow a dog in the house? The locals here in Greece would call you crazy. I hope you do frequent parasite cleanses - you and the dog!
He might be busy digging something. Just feed it some bread and let it do its thing, and who knows, tomorrow there might be a post on the chans! 🤣
Now that would be funny. I'm waiting until around 8 AM so my husband can go and retrieve it from the tub.
It’s almost DNC convention circus time everyone!!! Oh, this is going to be fire!
Today I learned the state flag of Rhode Island is in violation of its own state law.
Yeah, well: they already committed fraud by naming the state Rhode Island. So many lies, I tell ya.

Bit out of the loop as to whats been happening lately, but im ok with that. Sometimes I just need a break from it all.
Today wasnt a bad day though, my pancreas seems to be behaving itself (spent another fun night in the hospital on Monday) for the most part...and for a Friday work was pretty smooth
Broke af though, especially after losing shifts from my health/wellness. I'll be happy when I can get back to actually saving some money from each paycheck instead of having to borrow against the next one.
Keep pushing through in Christ, he will see your heart and honor that. Good things are coming your way. 👏👏👏
What's wrong with your pancreas and what are you doing about it, fren?
Pancreatitis, nothing i can do really

Friday Poem...Sylvia Plath - Mirror
https://3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily/2024/08/friday-poem-410.html
Philippians 4:6
6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
My version:
Pour or melt two tablespoons of coconut oil into a flexible container or mold.
Add cocoa, cinnamon, turmeric and black pepper and stir (you don't need much).
Place in freezer for 15 minutes (or longer).
Remove from mold, break into chunks and eat like chocolate, swishing between teeth.
(Yes, I swallow; I dont spit!)
That's interesting. I started putting 1 teas fresh shredded ginger, ceylon cinnamon, cloves, turmeric, stevia and 1 teas coconut oil in my coffee in the morning. It is very good and it is very healthy for your digestive system. I will try the black pepper. I know it aids digestion. I will do the oil pulling with my coffee.
...thank you for the recipe...
