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.

Real life in my garden, certain religious pod casters who are not political, just Biblical, just started watching a series on HBO called Silo, (somehow dystopian themes cheer me up, don't ask, I don't know why). Keeping my world smaller, but deeper. Its amazing how minding my own business keeps me grounded. Pouring boiling water on an anthill and observing, while observing my reaction to the impending chaos, helps keep my world in perspective. I am just a peasant lady, doing the peasant things, staying in prayer, trying not to speculate. The mind is more powerful than we know, which is why staying in prayer is the safest place to be. The serpent has not been defeated yet, and those apples are still very shiny to many peopple. I know he will be defeated, but before this last time, there will be bushels of apples to lead us this way and that.
I will have to check Silo out, I like dystopian things too.
