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.

...TaQo and Psiobs, who have foolishly....uh, I mean...graciously accepted the role of mod. Please give them a warm welcome and try to go easy on them...at least for a day or two. 😉 Congratulations TaQo and Psiobs!
The decision wasn't an easy one, as we had 17 frogs vying for a position on the team. (Yes, it was really 17!) Don't despair if you didn't make it this round. We're putting all of your names on a list for the next time we have an empty lily pad.
WWG1WGA!
Prayers are the most powerful weapons we have. I have asked for them and seen firsthand what the prayers of the many here can do.
I don't engage here nearly as much as I used to, (mainly because i'm much busier than I used to be) but I make it a point to pray in response to everyone's prayer requests that are seen by me. I know many other brothers and sisters here do the same.
You are in the company of people who love and care about you. ❤️
Thank you.
I was brave. I fought. I followed protocols. Feeling better, healthier. But every week I got bombarded with new problems on every level of my life. And now I can't any more.
Five weeks ago I had the last meaningful contact with my boyfriend, then he did not call anymore. We are together since 2008, he lives 300km far away. I phoned him twice, but he did not want to say anything and promised to come back to it, which did not happen.
Probably he can not cope with the cancer diagnosis of mine, but I just don't understand, it hurts, my thoughts keep returning to the question why. It pulls all strength, hope and will for life from me.
WHY? All this? I helped everybody and now there is nobody, only a pile of problems high as the pyramides. I can not take it anymore.
