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
It’s very difficult to love your neighbor.
The other morning, my neighbor was using his power tools at 5:30 AM. I was going to go outside in my underwear and T-shirt, but my neighbors behind my house were out eating breakfast already. All we have is chain link fences around our property 😂😂 so I had to go back inside and put some clothes on before I went out to yell at my noisy neighbor.
After making it out a second time, I asked my neighbors behind me. Is there somebody out here using power tools? They said yes. I looked to my left, and there was a man standing there in his backyard.
I yelled at him… “Please go do your Meth somewhere else” 🤷♀️ Then I got in my car drove around the block and got a picture of his house so I could report him. I was a total hothead. I was so triggered.
After I cooled down, I got over myself, and I had to leave and go do a three day pet sitting job, so I got over it pretty quickly.
For context, we are in Arizona so I understand somebody wanting to get started early but 5:30 AM? Anyway, I actually still feel bad about calling him a meth addict, even though he was in the wrong for waking me up. This is how Christ works on you… forgiveness is so important.
For the record, I’m not the reporting a neighbor type, and would definitely go and talk to them before ever doing so. But after driving by the house, it looks a little sus! Everything looks like a fortress, and he has beware of dog signs on both sides of his house, but he has no dogs 🤷♀️ This is probably a neighbor I don’t want to have anything to do with at all. Just get over it and move on.
So in closing… Love your neighbor, even if they are a meth addict! 🥰
So Hunter moved next door? Oh goodie! Be safe fren😂
Dairy farmers start at 4 30am, loggers warms their skidders up at 5, in the winter, and those are not quiet engines. I live in farm country NE, if you drive by the homes all the lights are out before 10 pm, local gas stations are closed by 8pm, I guess noise at night (after 10pm) is less tolerated. Most of the workmen who are woodsmen, carpenters, farm workers expect everyone to be up, dressed, showered and shaved and getting their coffee and breakfast burritos by 7.Not to mention the crews will gather, if they have to drive to a job, on the truck by 5. I guess it's dependent on where you live. A skiider at full throttle pulling logs at 6am is a sound no one sleeps through. Ah well, I am a morning person, watching the sun come up is something I love to do.
I was never a morning person either...came to find out my thyroid was dicked up. Started taking nutrition for it and it's gotten way better... now only a maintenance dose...Synthroid = no.
It's more of a natural life I guess - governed by the sun. Animals need tending to etc mornig and night. Sometimes in the summer months with 12+ hours of light it feels like you're going to meet yourself coming back 😂😂😂
Did sorting the hypothyroid help with the morning fatigue? What did you take?
Yes ... and "darkness" and depression. It's much easier to leap out of bed now rather than just rolling over.. for what seems like 5 min to find out it's been 5 hours 😐 I don't miss those days
I'm fortunate to have a chiropractor that is trained in contact reflex analysis in conjunction with specific nutrition only available thru "practitioners of the healing arts" - It's essentially bovine thyroid with a protomorphogen complex for better absorption and metabolism of the nutrition. CRA uses muscle testing/aka "applied kinesiology" to ask the innate wisdom of your body what it needs and how much to take. Even though it's a naturally derived product, you can hurt yourself if you don't take the proper amount.
That’s wonderful. It’s your community, everybody’s on the same schedule, and everybody is doing the same hard work every day. 👏👏👏
When I hear stories like this, I think to myself, the NWO are so delusional. They’ll never have enough robots to do all the work. Real work, not taking orders at McDonald’s. 😂😂😂
Thank you for helping to keep my house running, from afar! Without your job… I wouldn’t even have a house to live in. 🥰
Yep...I have one that sets off stadium sized fireworks on his shitty little 2 acre plot - and he's set my hayfield on fire twice already. He has a 6' cross on his front lawn he adorns with lights at christmas...It's this hypocrisy that gets me. I've asked him numerous times not to set them off because they're against the law AND you've harmed me twice already by setting my hayfield on fire - Certifiably retarded. He's a prison guard that wants to be referred to as an officer...wife teacher. Both takers.
I despise their characters they're playing...but know inside that what animates him is the same that animates me. He's just playing a role...as we all are - peel all that back and God remains. I don't necessarily like that - when I'm running full boost with my feet off the ground...but that's the truth when I cool down and get centered again.
Maybe remind him that it's quiet hours pretty much everywhere by law 11-7 and tell him he keeps waking the baby....9 times out of 10, they'll respect that because surprisingly in this 24/7 world, people really don't know about the 11-7 thing...The only exception is for farmers - not sure that extends to meth farmers or not...lol
We live in a 55 and older neighborhood, so the baby thing might not work
For all intensive purposes, here in Arizona I’m fine with people starting work early, but I think we have to switch the hours around here 7-11 😂😂😂 I’m a night owl so I don’t care about late at night, that’s why I’m sleeping later into the morning.
