~ 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!

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

I also only use my phone, which can mess with my head.

I still can't get that bloody security camera working even though my phone tells me that it's linked and connected. One more effort today and then in the bin it goes. Probably shouldn't buy online from dodgy sites (T, blocked but keeps popping up).

Will try @moderator and tech support.

BTW @MissGremlin @Jynx @Glisten @Meowmy @PeppyPatti

has anyone heard from @MB2226. Not asking for details here, just concerned about him/her.

Hi @Taali

Just getting back to you here is the message from our tech team. Here’s how you may be able to find messages that weren’t finished or clicked out of before posting:

Click on your avatar to open 'My profile' in the top banner.

Sometimes your message will auto‑save and show up as a Draft. You will see any autosaved messages here under 'Drafts' Just keep in mind that drafts don’t always save every time -but it’s still worth checking to see if anything appears there.

I hope this helps.

Thank you

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Glisten i did find a hole that leads to under the house so I've blocked that off now.

Oh the tiger snake encounter would have made the heart skip a beat.

Oh icky, I've found a few dead outside and they come in various sizes. Must admit I'm not a fan of having to dispose of them.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Taali hoping you've been able to locate where the messages can sometimes hide?

As for hearing from the member, often people will come and go for various reasons. Sometimes you won't hear from someone for ages and then they'll pop up again. Life gets busy, things change and this space might not be what they need in the moment etc. The Mods keep an eye on things and if there's concerns from posts on the forums they'll usually check in with them via email. But as a community the best we can do is just let them know we're thinking about them and that we're here if they need us.

Thankyou @wonderingalice1 for the help for Taali ☺️.

@MissGremlin good rodent tracking. They do chew through almost anything.

Years ago a friend’s car engine caught on fire 🔥 while parked at Uni. Rodents 🤭

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Glisten they do, such annoying creatures. The hole I've filled was filled previously properly and the little turd has chewed through it 😂.

Oh no that's horrible, they really do so much damage.
