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.

Hi frens, I still read your posts here and thankful for you and this site. Lots going on at home (painting, organizing, declutter, etc), family, getting healthy one day at time, aging dog, too much to name. Hubby, myself, daughter, granddaughter & sil are all doing great. New baby coming in less than two months. Dealing with family issues and health on my side and hubby’s. So much with my dad & brother! My dad being like the song Lonesome, On'ry and Mean, nothing new he’s always been like this, maybe some dementia. He’s so secretive about who he talks to on his phone & with money. This isn’t the man that raised me. Vaxed to the hilt & on cholesterol meds, exactly what I’d expect. According to experts it’s impossible to have someone legally deemed crazy. It’s not about getting an inheritance. I couldn’t care less, I just know this isn’t the man that worked every holiday, overtime & rarely took vacation. My brother is so unhealthy, it wouldn’t surprise me to get the call. He won’t listen to anyone about eating healthy. I swear he gains ten more pounds every time I see him. In & out of hospital with heart issues. Pills & doctors are the cure. On positive note I’ve been going to an amazing down to earth truth speaking church when we go to the coast. If I lived there this non-morning person would never miss 9:30 service. I’ve never heard a man teach on your level. He speaks to you from life experiences not down to you. Thankfully they have services online. Just checking in, I’m in and out here maybe a few times a month, trying to get here at least weekly.
