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
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Did you ever know and care about someone who drank themselves to liver failure? My SIL has done this and he is alive but could die anytime if he drinks, takes Tylenol, eats salt, fails to take his meds and vitamins, or he could die just bc his liver quits.
I’m feeling all sorts of ways bc this is self inflicted yet he is the father of 2 great kids 7&8 and they love him. On one hand if he dies no more of the BS that comes with alcoholic behavior but the other is he is a human being and we want to save him. He can’t even admit he caused this. The Salvation Army has agreed to let him in the rehab program which goes 6 months. I hope he sticks with it. He’s 38 years old. Would you pray for a stranger named Jake and his family please?
Jesus loves Jake, and so do I. God Bless him.
