~ The Toolshed ~

~ The Toolshed ~

So I've decided to create a new space, similar to The Ice-Memery but instead of being silly memes, these are memes/images/words etc. that I've found that are more like tools and insights for recovery. Hence, I welcome you to:

~ The Toolshed! ~

🔧💡🔩🤔

These are things I've found that are insightful, provide psychoeducation, or that have helped inspire me in my recovery journey. I invite anyone who wishes to contribute to do so! It doesn't have to be pictures, it can be discussion, questions, videos, whatever you like! But to start us off, I would love to share a nice lil stack of memes/pics I've found that I thought were really worth the read.

P.S. If you haven't already, you can also check out our Coping Toolbox for ideas and strategies to help you when you need to cope with the hard stuff!

So without further ado, lemme kick us off!

Will just tag a few forumites to start, pls do tag anyone you feel would enjoy or wanna contribute to this thread!

@ENKELI her family is Armenian Apostolic Church. I’m not normally weirded out by anything.

You know I genuinely admire people with faith. It’s really brave.

She said that she prays and sends good energy to anyone and she doesn’t have to tell them or ask their permission.

I said. “So literally sending good vibes.”

I think, it was the thought of someone thinking 🤔 ‘I’m going to send you good vibes whether you like it or not.’ Hahaha and then I thought about it too much and it creeped me out. Hahaha

Of course I look after the black Labrador. I’m going to run that dog’s little pudding off and do a lot of lead training.

My Retiisi, I hope you get that job, it sounds so cool. I think it would be a nice job.

Your family is hilarious! You need to write these stories down and the stories about your pets - so much laughter that it brings tears.

TOOL is a band. Everyone raves about the lead singer Maynard, but it’s the drummer Danny Carey - he’s the architect.
For example their song Lateralus literally runs on the mathematical Fibonacci sequence, so instead of a normal 4/4, the timing goes 9-8-7. That’s why you can’t count it straight.

7empest one of their longest and most complex tracks.

Multiple alternating time signatures 7/8, 11/8, 12/8 with irregular phrase lengths.

Sections feel like they’re about to fall apart, but then snap back into alignment.

That’s the end of my music rant 😇

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Glisten do you know, I actually wondered if you meant the band.

I love your music facts, I am going to listen to some TOOL now because you have me intrigued.

As a friend and bass player once said to me, some instruments are easy to learn, but very hard to master. It sounds like the drummer of TOOL is in the latter category.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@ENKELI I hope you started your day with Biblical readings.

I swear the difference is in you shows❣️

Your friendly Bass player is 💯 % correct and incidentally my granddaughter plays Bass and guitar 🎸

Musical family and all I know is theory :face_with_rolling_eyes: Grrr Argg

How did you go with the TOOLness? I won’t be offended if it isn’t your cup of tea.

If you do like it, I’ll smuggle you a concert ticket 🕵️
