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.

Wow I missed two days because I had my granddaughter, 12 hours each day. Too tired to catch up. It’s her bday weekend and we are going to the coast. I know what I’ll be doing when all the early birds go to bed… playing catch up here. It’s a beautiful problem to experience. I still can’t believe it’s been less than two weeks and Trump has done much more than most in an entire month, probably more like six months.
Good for you. Enjoy the real quality time ... it is what we're all fighting for, after all.
Thanks, you are right we are fighting for better days. Family time is so important as well. I’ve been at the coast for almost three hours. Left early, stopped at Duck Donuts (they have different flavor icing and toppings, little bit different than regular glazed donuts) then stopped for Mexican. Carnivore eating has officially left the building until Monday.
Good for you after 12 hrs of grand baby you need to go to bed and sleep. They are a joy but whew mine wear me out too. But I wouldn’t trade it for the world. ❤️
😆 I can’t imagine two🤨 I’d love another one just as much. My grandparents had all four of us on Saturday nights, two were the same age. My granddad took all of us to the mountains by himself. I’m trying to be like them, it comes naturally to me. But I don’t have my grandma’s depression era drive. She was about like Trump, go go go. Not only did I have her but the blind nervous dog. Cat one day, found a good home for the cat. I came very close to keeping cat, hence I never named cat. Girl, I prayed hard on that. On Monday hubby said guy at work was divorced and wife wouldn’t let him keep a cat, had two. I really feel like God was in that situation. I’ll have one when the dog leaves. He was there first. Well I went off subject. Yeah, I’m glad I didn’t have a kid at 40.
I’m convinced that’s why God gave us menopause. He knew we were too old to chase after kids all day. I’m glad the kitty found a good home. That’s how I got my cat. Found her in the parking lot at work where all the big trucks park. She wasn’t even six weeks old. She was very sick, didn’t think she would live. Not sure where she came from because the operation center is not close to homes or much of anything. Now she is 15 yrs old and rotten. I love my sweet little girl. ❤️
That’s so sweet that you were able to save the kitty. They are great companions. I love taking to cats, it’s like they know what you are saying. I’ve lived most of my life with a cat. People that don’t understand cats don’t get how affection they are. Oh, I’ll have one again! I just can’t with nervous scared dachshund.
