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 have a small cut on the end of my finger tip. The kind that bothers you for several days. I put some DMSO cream and a bandaid on it overnight and it's closed up and healed.
Even at my advanced age, I retain my blessing of rapid healing. I use a dab of scrip AB ointment (although I'm almost convinced that plain old rod wax would work as well) and a bandage in small nick and scratches. A day or so later, closed up.
I'm known as a "clotter" in the E. D. and the blood bank.
My mom loves AD ointment. Its great even just for dry skin.
This was over night,and I can't even see the cut now.
I thought i would pass it on. I used it on a pretty good burn a few months ago,and it quit throbbing in about 5 minutes and completely healed up in a day.
Trump’s political method closely resembles aikido.
In Aikido, you do not meet an attack head-on. You allow the opponent’s momentum to continue and then redirect that momentum so the attacker defeats himself.
Applied to Donald Trump, the pattern looks like this:
Draw the attack Trump says or does something provocative that invites reaction.
Encourage escalation Opponents respond aggressively—media campaigns, investigations, public attacks, political retaliation.
Allow overextension The reaction becomes larger and more emotional than the initial trigger.
Redirect the force The overreaction becomes evidence of bias, corruption, or institutional hostility.
Convert pressure into momentum The attack mobilizes supporters, exposes opponents, or shifts the political battlefield.
The result is that attacks often strengthen the position they were intended to weaken.
Trump converts political attacks into propulsion.
Yep very apt description
I didn't know that was Aikido. I thought it was Jewdo.
Just look how far downhill we went:

Wow! That does really hit hard. My children and grandchildren will never understand how much has been taken away from them.
Let's talk about our health ... what are you seeing out there these days? Two people I'm thinking of haven't been feeling 'right' and there's no answers. Baffling.
Lots of unknown illnesses, and people won't let in any outside knowledge to help. Lots of disabled people who shouldn't be disabled.
one “under 50” with cancer who should not have it - other than for the jab - going with establishment “treatment” / not a listener to possible healing methods

Historical Fun fact.
One time in 1959 the Post Office got the Navy to experiment with delivering Mail by Ballistic Missile. They cut the Nuke out of a Ballistic Cruise Missile. Filled it full of mail. Slapped it on a Submarine mounted Missile Launcher in Virginia and then shot it at Florida. The Target was a Naval Air Station outside of Jacksonville. Virginia to Florida in about 20 minutes.
The Postmaster General at the time was a fan of the concept of using Rockets and Missiles to deliver Mail and wanted to get the funding and Rocket expertise from the Military to further develop the concept. The Military was dramatically less enthused about using their Missiles and Money to research and perfect the idea of delivering Mail by Missile. So it never went anywhere.
Prayer request.
My stepfather is getting major prostate surgery tomorrow.
It's not cancer, we know that much. But he's very scared about this. He's had to wear a catheter for about three weeks because this has gotten so out of hand, but this comes to a head tomorrow.
Thank you and God in advance.
🙏🙏🙏🙏 prayers for a successful outcome and no further issues.
🙏
