~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hey hi hello! Welcome to the second iteration of...

~ The Toolshed ~

I decided to make a new thread, as the first one had errors and phantom pages, and was getting quite long! You can still find all the amazing pics, inspiring quotes, and uplifting messages of the first Toolshed here.

What is the Toolshed? Ain't a place to hang your hammer! Hehe this is a space where we can share the things that have helped us in our recovery. Tools, coping skills, inspiring ideas, and messages of hope and growth, is what this space is all about!!

You can stay connected and up to date on this space by favouriting, or by subscribing to the thread - head to the top of the page, and find the three dots to the right of the thread title (next to the star), click, and from the drop down menu you can 'favourite' or 'subscribe' - and clicking the star itself will also favourite the thread for you.

Favourite threads are then always available in your favourites list which should appear on the right hand side of most forums pages - or you can go to your profile and scroll down to the 'Favourites' section under your recent posts.

If you subscribe, it means that you will get a notification every time someone posts something new in the thread. So up to you if you simply want it to be always accessible, or if you want all the updates, or both!

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! So without further ado, here's my latest batch!

@Taali I did post but a comment I made breached guidelines, for which I am sorry. I was comparing technology to boyfriends, can't live with them, can't live with them! Lol My bestie used to joke and say "I've heard boyfriends make wonderful pets!"

Technology is far more useful ha ha ha!

(not a man hater, just like to joke and tease 🙂 )

@MissGremlin my absence was not my choosing if you get my drift. If I ever disappear without notice it's not because I want to be absent. I am just too opinionated for the forums it seems.

I missed you lots! I just absolutely adore your little frog diamond painting too, it is delightful and I would hang it on my wall.

I picked up a couple of books from the op shop/low cost supermarket where my brother works and have been reading. I am not sure what else I will do while I now have to find full time work.

I am getting new gutters on my house today, once complete I will have a new roof and guttering. It will breathe new life into the old girl. At least on the outside!

@ENKELI i get your drift and I've been through it myself before many times.

Hehe the frog one is cute and it makes me smile when I look at it. Still working on trying to get a folder to store them all in, for now a Lego box does the job 😂.

Oohhh reading is good, i like reading but get frustrated that i can't comprehend things😂. You need to find a hobby so you've got something to do.

Yay for new gutters, I'm sure the house will look amazing from the outside once that's done.

@MissGremlin reading is my kryptonite. I have been so involved in a book that everything else is forgotten. It's one of the many things that bonds bestie and I. Aside from being friends for over 50 years, we both read voraciously. Our mums were/are the same. I remember her mum telling me she didn't get to sleep until after 3am one morning because she was reading a good book. I said I can relate!!

Have you always found comprehending some things hard? I can understand it being frustrating.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Yep @ENKELI . I like to read novels as well and also working my way through short stories in Spanish that my Argentine friend gave me. She used t work in the Spanish Dept at the Uni where I worked in the Politics Dept.

Ah... that's precisely what the love my life said to his mother (replace men with women) before breaking my heart.

Don't worry nothing has triggered me at all.

I never imagined that I'd be up to sharing that. Whew, feels good 👍

@Taali yes, I had much the same thing happen to me. I much prefer being single and the only man to share my bed is my cat!

@GezzaP that's an awesome hobby plus you're learning a new language which is so cool.
