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.

Psalm 18:25&26
25 With the merciful you show yourself merciful; with the blameless man you show yourself blameless; 26 with the purified you show yourself pure; and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.
“You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.”
Kahlil Gibran

interesting womb transplant success story.
My friends’ coon dog speaks when walking around the neighborhood and he is near the second loudest dog in the neighborhood, a beagle, are is glad to share happy thoughts. So they seem to have a different reason for speaking than Gibran’s reason for humans to speak.
" glad to share happy thoughts."
...dogs can teach us a lot about contented happiness...

C. H. Spurgeon's Morning Reading (April 11th)
"I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint." — Psalm 22:14
Did earth or heaven ever behold a sadder spectacle of woe! In soul and body, our Lord felt Himself to be weak as water poured upon the ground. The placing of the cross in its socket had shaken Him with great violence, had strained all the ligaments, pained every nerve, and more or less dislocated all His bones. Burdened with His own weight, the august sufferer felt the strain increasing every moment of those six long hours. His sense of faintness and general weakness were overpowering; while to His own consciousness He became nothing but a mass of misery and swooning sickness. When Daniel saw the great vision, he thus describes his sensations, "There remained no strength in me, for my vigour was turned into corruption, and I retained no strength:" how much more faint must have been our greater Prophet when He saw the dread vision of the wrath of God, and felt it in His own soul! To us, sensations such as our Lord endured would have been insupportable, and kind unconsciousness would have come to our rescue; but in His case, He was wounded, and felt the sword; He drained the cup and tasted every drop.
"O King of Grief! (a title strange, yet true
To Thee of all kings only due)
O King of Wounds! how shall I grieve for Thee,
Who in all grief preventest me!"
As we kneel before our now ascended Saviour's throne, let us remember well the way by which He prepared it as a throne of grace for us; let us in spirit drink of His cup, that we may be strengthened for our hour of heaviness whenever it may come. In His natural body every member suffered, and so must it be in the spiritual; but as out of all His griefs and woes His body came forth uninjured to glory and power, even so shall His mystical body come through the furnace with not so much as the smell of fire upon it.
Just amazing that so many still have no eyes to see. Yet they still are in positions of authority and power over others. Blind Shepherds. I have no authority or power nor do I ever want either.
If a group of people stand with people who wear shirts that say “PrideMonth” and claim they are of the Christian God, logically they are either deceivers or plain stupid — am I wrong? I could be wrong for sure…
Yet when I see “PrideMonth” I see DEMON hiding within and to my point I see those “they/them” wearing t-shirts making DEMON in rainbow colors… while the 2 letters before are black..
Oh well… NCSWIC right? Very sad stuff in my opinion.
Spot price of silver is 32.13. Slightly higher than the futures price. That's very unusual the futures price has been about one doller more for years.
