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.

Noah's Ark's Mystery Unlocked: The Hidden Central Hallway Revealed!

I thought turkey was blocking access to the Ark and Göbekli Tepe.
I can't recall off the top of my head who but the money funding the shut down of Göbekli Tepe and built everything over it was linked to Soros or Klaus Shwab? Anyway the Turkish billionaire that owns it shamefully won't allow the other 95% of it to be dug up. They decided that was "for future generations to uncover".
They don't want anyone to know what they know, that much is obvious. Maybe another fren around here can chime in with more information, I'm too exhausted and busy to dive for sauce tonight.
That right I forgot about the Soros connection to Göbekli Tepe. Your think they'd block big media from taking about it on the history channel. Maybe they think world outage went matter.
People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction, and anyone who insists on remaining in a state of innocence long after that innocence is dead turns himself into a monster.

C. H. Spurgeon's Evening Reading (March 17th)
"Keep back Thy servant also from presumptuous sins." — Psalm 19:13
Such was the prayer of the "man after God's own heart." Did holy David need to pray thus? How needful, then, must such a prayer be for us babes in grace! It is as if he said, "Keep me back, or I shall rush headlong over the precipice of sin." Our evil nature, like an ill-tempered horse, is apt to run away. May the grace of God put the bridle upon it, and hold it in, that it rush not into mischief. What might not the best of us do if it were not for the checks which the Lord sets upon us both in providence and in grace! The psalmist's prayer is directed against the worst form of sin-that which is done with deliberation and wilfulness. Even the holiest need to be "kept back" from the vilest transgressions. It is a solemn thing to find the apostle Paul warning saints against the most loathsome sins. "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry." What! do saints want warning against such sins as these? Yes, they do. The whitest robes, unless their purity be preserved by divine grace, will be defiled by the blackest spots. Experienced Christian, boast not in your experience; you will trip yet if you look away from Him who is able to keep you from falling. Ye whose love is fervent, whose faith is constant, whose hopes are bright, say not, "We shall never sin," but rather cry, "Lead us not into temptation." There is enough tinder in the heart of the best of men to light a fire that shall burn to the lowest hell, unless God shall quench the sparks as they fall. Who would have dreamed that righteous Lot could be found drunken, and committing uncleanness? Hazael said, "Is Thy servant a dog, that he should do this thing?" and we are very apt to use the same self-righteous question. May infinite wisdom cure us of the madness of self-confidence.
My local discount grocery chain has Hillandale extra large eggs for $3.99/doz, didn't mention any limit.
I remember back in 2018 or so paying $0.33/doz at my local Aldi's. Those were the days!
I just walk out to my chicken coop. It's awesome how many friends and neighbors are asking me for advice on gardening and raising birds now. I want to get a Jersey cow next and start making my own dairy products but that's some next level commitment. I just keep laughing when the cabal has another idiotic scheme backfire. I have 7 hens and they produce enough that the extra eggs sell for enough to a small circle of frens to break even on feed. So much more nutrient rich, higher in omegas and taste better than anything in the store.
I've thought about backyard chickens for eggs and meat. I only have barely a 1/3 acre lot including house and SpouseAnon's health problems take up much of my time. Maybe someday, sigh....
Good luck with the cows. If I could I'd have dairy cows and black angus. Steaks on the hoof at the ready would be awesome! :)
I had less than a 1/4 acre in the city when I started my first bird operation. 8x6 coop and 6x20 yard on the side of my house.
Well, that gives me hope I might one day have a paltry poultry plot of my own!
Go for it. 3-4 hens, I engineered some feeders from salvaged pvc from the jobsite, built the coop out of pallets, started throwing my kitchen scraps out there. I was maybe fifty bucks into my first operation and within a couple months was having to give away eggs. Didn't even ask for money but people started feeling guilty and returning my cartons back with cash inside. All I do is top off their feed, rinse out their water and change out their sawdust every couple months. It's a 2 minute chore each morning I've grown to enjoy. Make coffee, say hi to my girls, grab their eggs and go on with my day.
It's a free and rewarding hobby I'll do the rest of my life. The neighbor hucks his kitchen scraps over the fence for them, widow across the street sent me home with freezer burned blueberries for them the other day, I go fishing and toss fish heads in their pen... they're basically little dinosaurs that eat anything and shit out delicious protein. It warms up a little more and I'll turn them loose in the garden after I rototill. No bug or weed stands a chance with those bitches scratching around fertilizing as they go aerating before I plant.
That really doesn't sound too bad!
Do you have a rooster? Not sure my neighbors would appreciate cock-a-doodle-doos at dawn!😄
Are egg-laying hens good to eat after their egg laying days are done, or do you need a different breed for meat?
Sorry, but I couldn't resist, this one's for the chickens 🐔 😄:
