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.

You really have the positive vibes going on. That’s wonderful!!! We have heavy rain coming through today and tomorrow. I was sitting outside in the swing on the porch trying to get close to a cat and kittens that have shown up. It’s so cool I needed a blanket. It’s a big change from high 90’s to 70. At least the AC will get a break. Not barefoot, sandals in the rain went to have preop stuff done today. One lady said, you are wet on the lower half and dry up top. It was so funny. Had on shorts and rain windbreaker jacket. Now it’s flip flops in wet grass. I can’t stand wet feet and my granddaughter is the same way. She touches the grass to see if it’s wet. She wore her boots to my house yesterday and shorts. I’m getting a mini me. I’m not as poetic as you! I hope you have an amazing day and your chickens stay cool with your frozen treats. I grew up with chickens. It’s a great experience for a child. I get eggs from a local young lady that has chickens. I’m glad that hurricane in the gulf isn’t coming your way. Edit: I thought Bertha was going north. I see it’s heading to TX. Stay dry and safe.
I'm trying the whole positive vibes thing out, and I think I'm liking how if feels. I sometimes let the chaos around me kick me in the gut, so now I am just trying a whole new approach. It's seems to work so far. I hope it helps others who just need to know we are all in this together and we are all gonna make it! It gets better. Oh, but Ido still struggle with wanting vengence and instant justice, but I know timing is everything, so I'm just gonna go ahead and have me some fun while we are in the waiting phase. Hope you have a great day.
Thank you for your wonderful heart of love for others TP! 💖
I’m glad it’s working for you. It’s probably not healthy for me, I’ve reached the point I hate going out in public and seeing how stupid, lazy and oblivious people are to what’s happening. I’m watching more church sermons from a church I visit when I go to my daughter’s house at the coast. I’m also listening to few other pastors in the country. My coping mechanism is watching stupid people on instagram reels. My poor husband gets bombarded with them from me. I don’t know how people cope that’s known about the evil for decades. I used to love watching kids on social media being funny. Now I scroll past it. I can’t believe people are so stupid and post their children online. All for clicks and likes. Probably some getting money from it. My positivity comes from the grandchildren and my husband. I’m sure once I can eat better after getting this sick gallbladder out my mood will improve. Enjoy the happy vibes🙂 I sure am.
Just now sent up a prayer for healing and restoration for your gallbladder
Thanks so much. I’ll be happy when it’s over and I can get on with life.
