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.

5 Pretty Paper Ray Orbison https://youtu.be/Knj9jg6TuDY Written by Willie Nelson, the lyrics reference a man selling “pretty paper, pretty ribbons” alone on the sidewalk, and as it turns out, there actually was a disabled street vendor Willie knew from his time as a radio DJ in Fort Worth who did just that.
The 3 wise men gave gifts of Mihrr, Frankincense, and Gold.
I keep a bottle of Frankincense oil with me in the car, they smell good and it's just comforting. You can get it on amazon for $7
I love Frankincense oil it’s so therapeutic and it’s great for your skin. Be careful with oils on Amazon and Walmart. Seven dollars sounds too good to be true to real essential oils. There’s a lot of fake oils or diluted oils with a hint of the real oil. Could be diluted with alcohol or have fragrance oil. If you prefer to order on Amazon these brands are good and they do sell on Amazon: Plant Therapy, Now, Eden’s Garden, Revive, Aura Cacai, Rocky Mountain Oils, Plant Life. Some brands are better quality than others. Strangely Now is more expensive and it’s probably the lesser quality.
Thanks for the list of brand names.. I'll check those out!
Your welcome. I’m kinda (one of) the group non toxic brand name helper. I don’t mind at all. Wish we had a section to save info like this. Plant Therapy has a different sale each day from thanksgiving to Christmas and free shipping, first day is best sale. Eden’s garden has great carrier oils and in nice pump bottles. Keep in fridge if you aren’t using quickly, they will go rancid after a while, no preservatives. I like e garden but seem to find more blends at P therapy. The the others probably have sales I haven’t ordered in long time and just ordered yesterday from PT. PT has sale most holidays and anniversary sale in June or July.
