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.

Well I prayed against snow, and at 8 am this morning here it come. It was beautiful, big fluffy flakes and the field was beautiful. Now it’s sleeting and freezing cold. That’s ok, me and the pets are huddled around the Edenpure right now. They are asleep and I’m on GAW. Even though I didn’t want the snow it was pretty. God won . ❤️🙏🏻🥰
I’m glad you got to see it. Sounds like a very good cozy time and it’s good to rest. It always starts here at night. We started with sleet a little after 6, looked like rain. I stepped out the back door, we have cover over patio with tin roof & it was loud. It’s snowing or mix now. I’m hearing Raleigh, Wendell (east of Raleigh) is really bad. Of course it’s people out and they should be home. Heard about some bad wrecks and pile ups. I’ve seen one car in the last few hours, a brother with the boom boom you can hear a mile away. It was going slooowww🫣 We have the cameras hooked to the big screen and I can see everything 👀🤣 I hate a lot of technology especially AI, but I love surveillance of the block, modern day Gladys Kravitz. It’s just my family and the neighbors. You never know when my dad will go by and my brother being entertainment😊 Don’t take much to entertain me.
The new cat has mad himself at home. We brought him in off & on last night to get used to the house. Moved everything off the utility/entry/former porch and shut him up last night, heck might have been Wednesday night my days have run together. Today he’s been milking it. Laying in the floor napping and trying to get food, trying to get my coffee this morning he found out really quick that don’t fly. He’s in my lap right now, wouldn’t do that before now. I told hubby he needs to get him a box or house outside. I’m not doing liter box or leaving him alone, too old for that! He’s been living under my house and that’s fine but he’s laying in dirt and I don’t want it on everything. Might try one of the feral cat boxes made out of old cooler. It’s protection and you can use a pet heating pad.
I’ve been busy all day catching up on laundry and trying to clean out some stuff. I’ve just sat down and got on here.
I was looking at weather underground radar earlier and saw your area was getting lots of snow. We rarely get good snow. I’ve probably seen it less than five times in my life. It’s normally a wet mix to crunchy ice & worse. Hubby bought the condensed milk and has a bowl out praying he gets snow cream. I don’t care for it, too much like homemade ice cream, don’t like for some reason. My grandma used to call him up to get some every time it snowed, glad he got to experience that with her. She would freeze snow and make snow cream in the summer. Probably another reason I don’t like it. It’s was always available🤦🏻♀️ Maybe you won’t be snowed in too bad. Take care fren and stay warm. We are officially old, we have heated throws.
We got a beautiful blanket of snow beginning at 8 am. It snowed all day until about 3 pm. Then the sleet came and went on the rest of the evening. I lost power power around 4:30, or at least that’s when I woke up cold. Got up and made sure the furbalss were all warm, and crawled back in the bed. I heard the heat pop on around 6.
Hey, I’m too dang busy. Is this snow from last week or did you get additional snow? Glad you got through it with out going with out loosing electricity too long.
No sweetie it’s the same storm 😂
