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've had problems loading AccuWeather and I have the app on my home screen...
I wonder if it's because everyone is on the internet Christmas shopping? I'm going to wait till around 11 -11:30pm and try again to order dog stuff, see if the internet is not so bad then 🤞The thing is at petsmart if you are on their rewards program and activated their specials or whatever they call it, and spend $50+ you can get 5,000 points which is like $10 off coupon, if you spend $100+, you get 10,000 points which is like $20 off coupon. And if I play it right and order my purchases up between days then I can get about $40 worth of coupons. When you have 2 - 100 lb tanks to feed, it gets expensive, lol. And toys are not cheap either! Especially when you have a husband that gives them treats every time he walks past them or if the pups go over and stand by the treats, he gives them some.... not just one treat but multiple at a time 🙄😏 tosses them out like he's throwing beads out on a Mardi Gra float 😂
I can stand strong against my cats and my dogs with wanting the treats all the time, but the cats have obviously planned with the dog around it. The dog treats sit on top of the fridge, he has to work for them, and the I have one cat I have to put the treats in the fridge , he finds the little bag and carries it off and tears it open. He does share with my dog. Now, he found out that dog treats aint so bad, so, he will jump on the fridge, knock the bag over, and he and the dog enjoy the stolen dog jerky. There is no reason for this, everyone is well fed here, including the wild birds outdoors at the feeders. Not sure what they put in those treats, but it sure must be good.
I'm sure you're correct about the online holiday shopping traffic jam!
Hahaha...love that analogy! Your husband's a softie. Those pups have him wrapped around their paws! 🐾
Lol, they so do!
