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.

I lost some contacts when I changed phones. Text me so I can save your number. Thanks, it’s in his timing and depends on my willpower (getting better). Oh, I never behave. I’m getting payback from my granddaughter on that. Her mom was never fought authority. Oh boy, the toddler will look at you, grin and do what you told her not to do.
Yep my youngest grand boy does that. He wears my daughter and SIL out. She says they are done. She is afraid the third would be a girl and a hellion. 😂
Oh that’s funny, I can certainly understand that. I think the grandbaby might be pushing limits because she wants to do stuff above her age. IDK, not bragging at all. Seems to an out of the box thinker. My dad has an exercise bike, has tool to move seat. She takes it works like screw driver in the little holes. She hasn’t seen anyone working with tools, but always in hubbys tool bag. Then again she’s too much like me & mom. Tries to carry too much at once and falls because she doesn’t pay attention just like us. Time will tell. At church everyone told us not to have another one because she was so good. We would pass people we barely knew telling us that. The child care volunteers knew how good she was. She’s still sweet and a very sensitive girl. I’ve always said she’s the parent and I’m the kid. I wanted more than one. Life happened and it wasn’t in the cards. He didn’t & I did then I was in an accident got chronic pain and on lots medication. Also I don’t know if I could have gone another 9 months without Attarax for the itching skin condition (like hives). That was hell! We ended up buying a family home with one bedroom and one bath. It worked out the way God intended.
EDIT Finished typing this out. Looked at outside camera see BIG OLE CAT on my steps eating. Kitty’s inside sitting in my lap for the first time being halfway calm. I doubt he’s 3 months. At least he’s protected staying under my house. Still not staying inside! Hate litter box too much.
Yes it always works for what’s in Gods plan. I wanted at least one more child, especially after we lost Jennie. I did, and he didn’t . He even went as far as to have a permanent fix. I was close to remarrying at one time and he wanted children, but God that didn’t happen. I would not have stayed with someone like him and there would have been another child caught in divorce. God has always looked out for me. I owe him my life. So now it’s just me and the 2 dogs and cat. I like it that way.
You have been through a lot! Thankfully you and God looked out for you. He’s always taking care of us even if we don’t realize it. I don’t think I’d remarry if things didn’t work out with my husband. Took a lot for me to trust him. Heck he’s the only guy I dated more than a couple weeks. Well I got the blind grand dog half the time and a little kitten that rode home under my daughter’s car. He can’t come inside because dog is scared of cats🤦🏻♀️ He’s living under my house. He will come up to me now. I love cats, I know God sent him. That purr melts my heart.
