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 don’t agree with it. If the Dems are so for it then there’s a reason. And if the progressives are successful then it’s just another start to preparing that generation for limitations. Start with something small that appears to be safety related to gain acceptance.
And if progressives are so “protective” of kids mental health with limiting social media where are they when they allow kids without parents to “chose” their gender?
There’s a reason and it starts small, like every other encroachment on liberty.
I'll try not to be too wordy, but I'm asking for anyone that has a moment to pray to put one out for my wife. She's a fighter, two natural childbirths through and after the pandemic after losing twins very early in our first pregnancy, watched preeclampsia spike her bp to 200/140 after both deliveries and wound up on Mag multiple times. She's been suffering ever since and we've tried everything from functional medicine, pelvic floor therapy, standard medicine, chiropractor, massage therapy and nothing seems to help get us in the right direction. We've done month(s) long detoxes, elimination diets and we're at the point where we're trying to rule out MS and cancers. She hasn't even hit 40, no vax, definitely living in a stressful environment with two really young kids and with all the testing going on we can see a spike in tsh, low iron/ferreting, but she's been getting burning sensations on her skin, primarily around her knees, she had been seeing redness on her nose and cheeks during certian times of day. Overall just feels drained, weak and depleted like she's fading out of existence.
I only give extra details in case anyone else has dealt with this because we're desperate to find an answer at this point. Her biggest fear is missing out on our kids that she worked so hard to get here, not be able to homeschool our oldest who's about to hit school this August and live the life we were planning to live. We're praying for God's will, but selfishly hoping that it includes her remaining with us and living an average quality of life during that time. Either way, if anyone has an extra prayer in their back pocket and willing to share I would really appreciate it.
