Hello Forums Fam,
I thought I'd make this space for everyone to connect tonight. We can sit back and relax around the campfire!

Wow @avant-garde , decks of cards??? Do you have those tiny itsy bitsy cards @avant-garde ?
Do you have half a house to store your collector's items? It sounds like there's a lot!
I just to collect plastic bags with logos because they reminded me of all the places i'd been and the things i'd bought...
Then one day, I just threw everything out!

@tyme @Shaz51 @avant-garde Growing up, I collected basketball cards, Kinder Surprise toys and movie tickets of the movies I'd been to see.
Now, I don't have any collections....unless unused art supplies for unstarted or unfinished projects count?

@tyme
No.
I was homeless last year and the concept that I have half a house is hurtful because I'm lucky to have the tiny unit I have.

Hahaha @NightFury , then I'd have LOTSA collections of unfinished things!
@avant-garde . I'm sorry to hear about your homelessness last year. I didn't realise it was only last year. Does that mean you have kept all your collections with you the whole time? (please don't feel you have to answer if you don't want to).
I admire your resilience.

@tyme
Storage unit, friends places, car. Some people thought they were doing me a favour by throwing a bunch of my belongings in the skip bin. I haven't trusted them since.
Been here 8 months

Very true @tyme to add to the things that I can't eat with kidney disease and diabetes
I think the little getaway made it worse, so get back on track again
@Appleblossom , need marshmallows 😋

Awww @avant-garde . I'm here if there anything you want to share. I didn't realise it was less than a year ago. I've heard you speak about it, but it's just hit be how recent it was. Must've been tough. I can connect to this because there's this lady who sleeps in a tent at the park at the end of my court. I thought she'd got a place, but then I saw her tent there again tonight. She said she was getting a place.
It's the 21st century! Breaks my heart. I gave my property to someone who was on the verge of homelessness. I didn't charge him rent or anything until months after he was settled. I still pay his internet and get the lawns done for him.
I just want to help people.
