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.

Elvis should have a Holiday. How about a half pay day? How about Elvis week. You work but you pay no taxes on your earnings that week. Times have changed. We are no longer competing with our Neighbours. We are competing with the 3rd World. We should close our borders and close our economy system.
I agree with everything, especially We are no longer competing with our Neighbours. We are competing with the 3rd World. We should close our borders and close our economy system.
Technically we do have two Elvis weeks if you want to travel to Graceland. I love him but not that much. I still watch the Vegas & Hawaii shows on YouTube so I feel like he’s still here. Got my granddaughter watching and dancing. I told my husband if we were at the Vegas shows he’d have to get over it because I’d be at that stage for an Elvis kiss with the other woman😆 I’ve been once and it’s totally worth the money. Although it’s a weird feeling after you leave. I got the same feeling after touring Richard Childress race shop and DEI (Dale Earnhardt Inc, went before Teresa went wicked witch of Nascar). I guess bittersweet is the best description. Awesome seeing everything but you know they are gone. Kinda the same as when grandparents or parents die and it’s just never the same, if you still have access to the property or heck just riding by. I get that feeling when I pass by where my dad grew up. His parents didn’t own the property, they farmed and she had to move out when he died. The old house has long been torn down, oak trees gone and new house now. Even with that erie feeling it’s worth the trip.
