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.

There is nothing so beautiful and nostalgic like Christmas music playing outside the parking lot of a shopping center.
Yesterday, my husband and I went shopping for our dog for Christmas. Outside the center, a Veteran was collecting money for all US Veterans for Christmas. He was playing the Trumpet with background music to Noel and Silent Night. It was beautiful.
You knew it was a real instrument the minute you got out of your vehicle. It made you look around to see where it was coming from. Naturally, my husband being a Vet himself, found the man and donated to his Brothers and Sisters in Arms. After all, without them, we would not be celebrating this beautiful holiday season of Jesus' birth. God bless them all. And may they all have a very Merry Christmas.
Amen.
Saturday is the winter solstice and in the US of A the shortest amount of daylight... dark --> light begins.
Thank you for the reminder. It would have been my Mother's birthday.

An oldie but goodie.
So, what's the word on the Government Shutdown: is it happening or not?
No agreed upon bill. Trump's bill that he liked just got shot down. So for now, we are shutting down.
December 21st is when the government is supposedly going to shut down.
December 21st to January 20th is 30 days. u/#q970
This gives me hope! I'm perpetually hopeful, but this just adds to my perpetual hopefulness. : )
Kek.
I like it too. 👌

Shutdown is probably happening. It's hard to imagine a solution at this point. It's a chronic problem.

perseverance.
Lots of deleted comments. Are the glowies showing up in force? Merry Christmas, glowies!
My good buddy Sir Reginald, my Cat, died this week. He had cancer everywhere. He was my best friend and I will miss him dearly.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Pets give us so much love...
So sorry to hear this.
It is hard to be without your pets.
Thanks for the kind words.
Oh I understand.
I have lost many pets dogs and cats.
Does anyone have any experience on dealing with unions? Is it best to just ignore them, or say they’re not welcome, or ask if they’ve accepted Christ, or what?
It seems fair to assume they are filming everything and waiting to use it as “gotcha” “we’re so oppressed” propaganda.
“This man hates fair wages!!!”
I've dealt with unions as far as being a candidate for membership and seeing how greasy their approach is, and what a misallocation of money and energy recruitment is .. but I'm not exactly sure what you're asking.
Frankly, one can never go wrong asking if someone has accepted Christ. So try that.
Oh man! Flerfers are needing copious amounts of copium now that their silly concept of the world has been shattered. We've even got one guy calling into a Flerfer Discord chat and straight-up calling one prominent doorknob a liar for claiming that a 24 hour sun in the Antarctic is impossible.

I'm glad that this pastor launched The Final Experiment to put this to rest. Most Flerfers were like, "Uh, I think I hear my mom calling me" and made up reasons not to go, but at least a couple of them agreed to go and they have experienced their share of cognitive dissonance.
