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

Hey frens🐸 I hope everyone is doing well. It’s getting crazier as we head to “D-Day” I’m ready for the next chapter here in America. Praying everything goes as we wish and according to God’s will. I’m still dropping in. I think I’m burnt out and don’t post much these days. Praying for everyone daily, we all have our personal struggles in addition to living through this 🤡🎪 🌎
If you have been here a bit you are probably bored with hearing about my diet changes this year. I’m out of town and it’s hard to be strict on the go. It’s crazy how much I loved certain foods and now they taste awful. I love chocolate hummus and could eat the entire container in a few days. I just took one bite and it’s got a strange aftertaste. I understand certain ingredients don’t agree with my body but my emotions take over & I’m saying, dang I miss this or that. On the same subject, for about five years my mouth has been stinging constantly. No signs of irritation, just stings like pouring alcohol on a fresh wound. In the spring I ate fresh strawberries for the first time in several months. Instantly my mouth started stinging. After searching (stinging mouth after eating fresh fruit) I discovered it’s an allergy to pollen. I’ve asked doctors and the dentist for years and they shrug shoulders and say IDK. In a nutshell, if your mouth stings after eating fresh produce you are allergic to the pollen. Most people aren’t affected by the same produce if it’s cooked. Over thirty years ago the same thing happened after eating fresh pineapple but no reaction to can or cooked pineapple. I guess since I’m not eating plants my body has gotten used to it and can’t tolerate it. It’s still hard to believe I’ve eaten foods that don’t agree with me most of my life. Just another example the medical system trying to treat the symptoms instead of curing or fixing the problem. For the first time in thirty+ years, I don’t have IBS and gut related problems. I’m so thankful I’m figuring this out.
Trust your instincts even if you are the only person eating something different, living your life differently, etc. The craziest thing is people that eat processed foods 24/7 think my husband and are the crazy ones.
Blessings to all🛐💟
We've been munching on pork rhines instead of popcorns as things intensify before the election. I have a weakness for chocolate omg.. they say dark chocolate 70% is supposed to be good for you so I've been cheating on that as well. No fruits or salad for about 2 years now, except for kimchi, banana, and sauerkraut. I heard parasites are mostly in salad, strawberries, and apparently my body doesn't need it so that's that.
Hello sweet Fren! So good to hear from you. So happy that you are figuring things out and are feeling better. Drop me a text sometime ❤️
Hey fren❤️ please text me. I lost some contacts recently.
