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

LIVE: MAGA Boat Parade On The MN/WI Border! - Mike Nificent (used to be with RSBN) YouTube
Mike Nificent covering the Trump Boat parade on the St. Croix river. Beautiful windy Saturday afternoon with American patriots from both Minnesota and Wisconsin!
Beautiful day for a beautiful boat show. Mike does a great job .
I just looked at the calendar today:
The full moons of September and October are both on the 17th this year!
Has anyone had a cyst that they popped at home? How did you do it, and did it get infected?
I have one that actually started leaking I guess you can say, some clear fluid, but when it is pressed on some clear and white stuff comes out. But the hole/pore is too small for it all to come out easily, so only little bits at a time. My family wants me to go to the doctor so they can surgically remove the whole thing. I would rather just drain it, don't trust doctors much at the moment. This is maybe the 3rd time this thing has come back after popping by itself when it got this big before and it takes a long time to get this big. I say big, but it's about a 1-inch circle. Trying to decide whether to talk my husband into poking it with a pin in the same hole that the stuff is already coming out of, to make the hole bigger and easier for the junk to come out.
Sorry if this grosses y'all out, lol.
My wife does it occasionally for our son's acnes but only when they are pretty much ready to burst and if you dab it with cotton with tincture of iodine and it starts oozing out. The key is to ket every last bit out, otherwise it continues festering, and thats not as easy as it sounds.
One of the big one, we took him to a doctor just to see what she says, and she popped it with a needle and dressed it and gave anti biotics. However, its still not fully healed.
If its smaller cyst you can try using the pimple patches. They do a great job in popping and sucking out the stuff cleanly and the few times we used it, it healed pretty well. But we dont did it during early stages.
Thank you, this was helpful. I’ve never heard of “tincture of iodine”, are you just referring to regular iodine you buy at the store? Or is there a tincture? I do have usnea tincture that I made myself, do you think I should try putting a bit of it on the cyst after squeezing it? Usnea tincture as you probably already know is like an antibiotic. Maybe I should take some of it and too, couldn’t hurt 🤷♀️
My husband got a little out last night, then tonight he used a syringe needle and tried to suction it out, but of course it didn’t work. Though it did work to open the hole enough to get quite a bit of junk out 🤢 Good hubby to do stand there and squeeze and massage it for like an hour to get as much as he could out. I’m a little sore now but glad to get so much of it out, he said it now feels soft. Have a feeling he may have to do it again though. Washed it up, sprayed with 90% alcohol and then bacitracin then bandage. He said he felt like there were multiple pockets in the cyst.
Barbara O’Neill says to put a cooked onion on it. you’re supposed to cut the onion in half and then cook it in the oven for a half an hour or something, let it cool, and put it on the cyst. I just saw the video on Instagram the other day.
Dr Pimple Popper will show you how. Videos on YouTube. Make sure to get the sack out. Then it won’t come back.
Have a great extra long weekend to my American 🇺🇸🐸 frens & Happy Labor Day. Sending blessings to all🐸
I posted yesterday about wanting to see Trump in my town but was given four reasons not to go. Turns out it was help from above. A man came to town to assasinate Trump. He sat 3 seats down from a friend. She noticed his erratic behavior, notified police, and when he tried to rush the stage at the end they tazed him and took him out.
Had my friend gotten in he would have sat with her and my daughter and l would have sat there as well, one of us would have been next to the man who was arrested. God knows what would have happened. The three of us would have been vocal with him. The one who got in is much more reserved.
Always follow your gut.
that’s the protection of the Holy Spirit.
I absolutely agree. To God goes the glory.
The-independent.com has a story and photos about it. Sorry l can’t figure out to post it. I truly am thankful for that protection sent from God.
Trump needs to be so careful. They know once he is elected it is all over for them. He and Vance will work together to turn the country around and arrest them.
Always trust your gut instincts. I call it God’s text messaging🙂 I’m glad you & friends were not hurt.
I do believe, for myself, when those "gut" feelings come, God sent me an angel to warn me, with his message. Some call it intuition. Glad that you heeded to the message, HE will always guide us.
Gut instincts are usually correct.
God bless everyone ❤️ for making it through August. Remember to Love and appreciate everything good. Eat well, exercise and get plenty of rest for the month of September.
Blessings to you as well fren🐸🙂
Wake Up!
Nice

Friday Poem...Donika Kelly - The moon rose over the bay. I had a lot of feelings

timing on here is confusing because people post when they see things. do i have it correct that DJT originally said that he would vote in florida to allow abortion up to birth and has since said that he will vote for a much lower time frame on aborting a baby (around 6 weeks) instead?
"up until birth" is so misleading. If a woman's baby died inside of her, and she is septic, an emergency abortion is performed, but it really is not an abortion, it is a life saving method, because to wait until the due date may kill her, I think that is what he was talking about.
Never heard that Trump ever supported voting for up to birth. If you think he did, the onus is on you to dig up the sauce
No? Trump is far to lenient on abortion, but he wouldn't vote for abortion up to birth.
Hey ya'll! First in. Whoa...
