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 have a prayer request, and this is a big one, for multiple reasons.
My stepfather needed bypass surgery. He was driven to the hospital early this morning, before sunrise.
However, as my mother was driving him, she turned too soon, and got two tires over the edge of our driveway. We had to call a tow truck, which had to call another to help. And because they couldn't afford it, I had to pay for them, over $300 worth that I can't afford right now.
Then it got worse. On the way there, they passed some homeless guy, who got so angry at them for whatever reason that he threw his flashlight at our car, and not only caused serious scratches on the door, but the back panel of a side mirror got completely dislodged, exposing the wiring.
On top of all this, while the surgery did go well, he is currently intubated on a fucking VENTILATOR, for reasons I do not understand. He is expected to be in the hospital for five to seven days.
We don't know what we're going to do. Can GME please fucking go TO THE MOON! already?! That's my only backup plan, and I bought in (over ten shares) because I was desperate and I trust YOU guys!
Is it possible to duct-tape the back of the mirror in case we have to go somewhere when it rains? We have the car under a carport right now, so there's that.
Oh, and the car's not insured. Insurance was cancelled a month or two ago because we can't fucking afford anything right now. Because of all of Dad's testing and preparation for this surgery.
Oh, and the warranty on the car has expired because it's about four years old.
God, I'm so frustrated right now. Please pray for our well-being.
I’m praying for you and your family. A junk yard may have your mirror. Yes, duct tape should protect it as long as you make sure it’s sealed all the way around. Idk what part of the country you’re in but picknpull is a great place to look if you are near one. They have half price days on all holiday weekends, too! Been here, done this a few times. May God help you with all of these woes. In Jesus’ name we ask. Amen. Hang in there. My family has been in a different yet similar storm lately. Satan is moving hard as he knows he has a short time.
Sending prayers for your FIL and the situation you are in🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Dear God this family is in dire need of your help. Place your calming hands over them. Show them that no matter how bad things are You are there to guide them.
Amen.
I am so sorry to hear this. My prayers are with you and your family. I know you guys will pull through this and this too shall pass. BTW did you invest in any crypto? Almost all of them have been soaring after Trump won. If you did, time to check what its worth now. Cheers, fren.
Top post front page this fren. Prayers matter and we are here for you
Also about the insurance, don't worry..
My wife spent over two years no registration and was not pulled over once.
But do get the mirror fixed. Amazon and ebay have good prices on parts. the key to not getting pulled over is the car looking right and driving super cautiously and legally
I didn't think it was relevant to Q or Trump at all--and it's not, it's personal--so I put it here.
Just so I'm clear, you think I should make this an actual topic?
Yes, I did. I made a prayer request as a top post and got good prayers and replies.
This is a Q research board but it is also the tip of the spear and one of our most lethal weapons is prayer. And a prayer for a frog or someone a frog loves is tippy top important
Very well, I will do so, and I'll tag you so as to give credit for the idea.
