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.

I miss newspaper.. good ol' newspaper you read while sipping on coffee, the thin pages you leaf through and that sound it makes..it seems like a thing of ages ago.
Sunday cartoon section.
Yeah, but the Sunday Funnies here on GW easily tops that.
Well I thought that goes unsaid.
And the puzzle section on sundays. Smell of the newspapers, rare as it is these days, takes me back to the time when my son was very young and every sunday we would go to walk around the nearby lake and end the walk at the cafe with the nice view, with the sunday paper spread to the puzzle section, doing puzzles with him, while eating croissants and other poisons. Good old days. Had no clue how many lies were printed in those harmless newspapers!
Sounds like you made a beautiful memory with your son...special times! ✨
