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

If you went on vacation in November, where would you go (in the US)? And why?
I'm worried about going on vacation because I don't know if it's a good time to go right now, with so much going on and of course the violence, especially if we fly and can't take protection with us.
Hubby wants to go on a short vacation before he starts a new job, because after that it will be a while before we can go on one. The timing will be right in Nov. with family being more able to help watch our furbabies. Of course, I would love to go away for a few days, but I'm worried something big might happen while we are away and can't get back home quickly and he's talking about somewhere far that we would need to fly 😒
Depends what you guys are into.
South Florida is great in November.
We already live in the south, so like to go somewhere cooler than here, lol. Lower Bama, and we also have lived in Florida so not thinking it as a vacation place. I’ve lived in like 3 areas of Florida growing up and after I married. Still have family there.
