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.

Good morning GAW family! I cannot sleep for some reason. Yep, I am wide awake and it's 2:05 AM. I went to bed at my usual time and slept great, but for whatever reason, I woke up around 1:00 and couldn't fall back to sleep, so I then felt compelled to go stand outside barefoot and enjoy a little fresh earth, but a raccoon scared me half to death LOL. It was eating my birdfeed, and it looks like he may have broken my birdfeeder, I will check it out in the morning light. Anywho, I hope y'all have a blessed day today!

I have a feeling a nap will be in your future today...
Rather than panic and get all weird about being wide awake at those hours...(not saying you are but a lot of people do) I use it to my advantage. What's great is, there are no phones ringing...Everybody is leaving you alone...Not much traffic and noise pollution AND the "veil is thin" between this dimension and the next...
That gives you a prime space and time to have "me time" - not wasting it via electronic devices, but for going within yourself. Quiet contemplation of your life's mission, or simply discovering the "upper rooms" of your mansion and meeting God there.
Disconnecting from the constant honkey tonk of everything going on during normal waking hours...and basking in the bliss of your own samadhi...Your true nature...Your core being - already created perfect by God. (Nothing to improve, nothing to fix, nothing to become - You already are all of that!)
Upvote for the Carnac reference alone! 😄
RIP Johnny!
Aaaah that thin veil time. When I would wake up at odd hours, or even in the morning and I didn't have to actually be up yet, I would let my brain go into think mode and start stressing and worrying about BS earthly things. Then after an experience or two I've learned to just be still. I've gotten great at lucid dreaming and "traveling." I know you what that means. It is such a peaceful and relaxing journey. Answers often get found, along with peace and purpose, behind that very thin veil.
Yep...Alpha and Theta are lovely in the morning before the merry-go-round gets tripped and the circus starts back up.
I used to love "floating" in my isolation tank...gets you right into theta like nothing else and any question on any subject is answered rapid fire from all directions in a split second. Quite a powerful tool... Thinking of building another one...1000# of epsom salt @ external body temperature...the body goes away 😁
Put on Dave’s x22 report…That’ll put you to sleep! He’s great. But listening to him late always luls me asleep.😂
Well maybe you were awakened just to witness the theft of your bird feed. Now you know that the birds are not getting their fair share. 🤔. Heck it must be warm where you are, too cold for my bare feet to touch the earth right now, especially at 2am.
We had a big black spike on the Schumann chart around this time. This is indicative of a timeline jump. If you “believe” in those sort of things that’s exactly why you awoke. I woke too. Most highly intuitive and energetic people respond to these anomalies.
I’m a newbie. Where can I find out more details about posting? Like when will my account cease existing as a handshake?
Welcome to the community fren! Typically, if you keep engaging in comments and get some karma points (upvotes), you should be able to post in a week or two.
However, if you do believe that you have some very high quality post, you can tag a moderator (like putting u/bubble_bursts in the comment) or send a modmail (link on the right side) requesting manual approval.
If you want to write a post about how your journey that you found yourself here, would be happy to approve it.
Thanks b_b
Such a good mod...Cheers M8!
Welcome newfren. Habs an updoot to help.

Psalm 18:27-31
27 For you save a humble people, but the haughty eyes you bring down. 28 For it is you who light my lamp; the Lord my God lightens my darkness. 29 For by you I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall. 30 This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him. 31 For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?

Have you heard that Small Business Administration nominee Kelly Loeffler pledges to donate her entire federal 200,00K plus salary to charity? Didnt know if it had posted previously.
I did not know much about her, I appreciate the info - thank you.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon January 28th — Evening Reading
"And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them." — Luke 2:20
What was the subject of their praise? They praised God for what they had heard-for the good tidings of great joy that a Saviour was born unto them. Let us copy them; let us also raise a song of thanksgiving that we have heard of Jesus and His salvation. They also praised God for what they had seen. There is the sweetest music-what we have experienced, what we have felt within, what we have made our own-"the things which we have made touching the King." It is not enough to hear about Jesus: mere hearing may tune the harp, but the fingers of living faith must create the music. If you have seen Jesus with the God-giving sight of faith, suffer no cobwebs to linger among the harpstrings, but loud to the praise of sovereign grace, awake your psaltery and harp. One point for which they praised God was the agreement between what they had heard and what they had seen. Observe the last sentence-"As it was told unto them." Have you not found the gospel to be in yourselves just what the Bible said it would be? Jesus said He would give you rest-have you not enjoyed the sweetest peace in Him? He said you should have joy, and comfort, and life through believing in Him-have you not received all these? Are not His ways ways of pleasantness, and His paths paths of peace? Surely you can say with the queen of Sheba, "The half has not been told me." I have found Christ more sweet than His servants ever said He was. I looked upon His likeness as they painted it, but it was a mere daub compared with Himself; for the King in His beauty outshines all imaginable loveliness. Surely what we have "seen" keeps pace with, nay, far exceeds, what we have "heard." Let us, then, glorify and praise God for a Saviour so precious, and so satisfying.
I think and believe if we have public officials who teach or work around children and are a man dressing as a woman or a woman dressing as a man, they should be fired from public school no matter what their role is. From the janitor to the principal. I am just doing my job… lol

Snakes. Why does it always have to be snakes.

Hello! Welcome back to Prayer Garden Podcast! On this episode we speak with my friend Joe, known as Stormy Patriot Joe. Joe was one of the first people I came across that tracked the Q drops back in 2017. On this episode we get to hear Joe’s testimony through his early years walking with Christ leading up to his great awakening moment in 2017. Listen in to how he left corporate America to pursue the path the Lord has laid out before him through Badlands Media. His faith and passion for getting the truth out there has led to his current media projects that brings together the body of Christ with the goal of helping make America faithful again.
Thank you for tuning in! Together through Christ we have endless potential.

I am a fan! Can’t wait to hear ❤️
I am a fan as well. So it was really cool having him on. He has some great testimony and a huge heart for Jesus. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for watching
You’re most welcome, keep them coming fren!
How many gas station snacks will ultimately disappear within the next 4 years? How many other highly processed shit foods will just fade out to obscurity once the fillers and chemicals used to make them get banned?
Maybe it's worth saving some to keep unopened as relics of a different more poisonous time.
Was Kendrick Lamar the rapper who had the satanic trampling incident at one of his concerts? He’s the halftime performer.....
Satanic trampling was Travis Scott. Kendrick is actually pretty decent (for a rapper)
Thank you.
BTW, halftime performer for what?
The super bowl
Enjoy this visit to McDonalds in 1984. It includes a look at the prices back then. They appear about five minutes into the video.

God bless you for your readership and positive words.
...where we howl 1, we howl all...
can you rent a cat?
I would always just take a piece of thin string and run it through the little hole on the paddle and tie a square knot, leaving short tag ends, then press peanut butter onto it. They lick the pb then tug on the string trying to eat it. Game over.
There are other methods that aren't so time consuming and tedious but I really try to stay away from poisons, especially in a residential setting.
Peanut butter + black oil sunflower seeds.
Watch this guy...His research is incredibly valuable: https://www.youtube.com/@ShawnWoodsMousetrapMonday
He's tested hundreds of traps, antique ones, newfangled ones etc and you can see the results! Didn't think it would be...but damned fascinating!
I concur with his findings on the bucket trap. VERY effective and easy to deal with whether you do it wet or dry.
Natural/old school suggestion: try setting out some GMO, NON-organic corn meal (without flour mixed in). We’ve used it for rodents as well as ants. With ants, the cornmeal trick kills the colony.
Mix in some baking soda...they can't deal with it.
Add peanut butter to the trigger wire that holds the snapper down. And press PB into the holes in the trigger. We’ve had the same issue but those two changes helped the catch ratio.
And cats definitely help. I’ve also tag teamed with the cat. Plastic bags on my hands and he and I round em up. Then air ride down the hill.
Lol. We’re in the foothills so our mice aren’t dirty dumpster dwellers…so we’re not crazy about needing to get rid of them though we don’t invite time in to be pets.
Good work!
All this Trump winning is stressing me! I want to learn everything as soon as it happens. Thanks for listening.
