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

I was sent here by the moderator. Question… why isn’t ELECTION DAY a National Holiday? My kid asked me and I have no answer. Can you help me out?
as small business owners can tell you, the employees would be paid right out of the owner's pockets, with no income/production for that day...all national holidays hit hard on the business owners...giving their employees an extra hour for lunch, or start hour late, or extra hour off early would be much better idea, so the whole day isn't lost for productivity, imo...before the dems started playing their dirty tricks, the polls used to be open from 7am to 7pm, and you just needed to be in the line at the closing time, with an official LEO or other official standing in to mark the end of the line until each voter was done, at least in TX, that's how it used to be...
