~ 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 ~

@DownMoreThanUp oh that speed would be so frustrating. I get annoyed when the speed drops with our connection too. Like now when I am trying to load a couple of pages and they are being a pain.

Reminds me of the days of dial up. We thought we were the bees' knees with a 56K modem!! 😆

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

I don't believe that you were unable to work it out yourself!

That's not a criticism but genuine disbelief, you seem to have totally got a grasp on all things technical 😉

@Taali

Usually true but first of all i was unwell, had a short but rather intensive episode last night, and secondly i did not except it to be in a case, and it did not look like it to me for it was like a halve case, i had not seen them before.

i searched for ages for an answer, but because i said take back off phone, the cases were already off before they began the demonstration. so i only discovered it when i saw a empty phone case, then it made sense.

@ENKELI

Yes 56k modem was great news at the time. now with a slow connection i get about 500KB a second on my desktop, and about 3300KB on my phone, but a 56k modem was only 5-7KB a second, and no one could ring you while using it.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

You know what my solution would be?

Smash the little mother f***er

Yep, I've got a short fuse!!

Apart from that how are you?

You're bound to be feeling a bit messy (you know what I mean)

Tbh I used the Angels and Never gonna see your face, in a lived experience comedy routine. @Taali i was so far from evil, but mother was both judgy, self preoccupied and in denial. I am learning to relax that it's not evil to listen or dance to non classical music!

Hey how did the singing go last night @Appleblossom

Or do I have the timing wrong?

You have overcome such difficulty in your life that I'm proud to call you FRIEND 🧡

Albeit an online friend.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Thanks for even remembering @Taali My singing day with 2 regular groups is on Thursday. Ooops not sure about matching plurals, when talking to an English teacher! Yesterday I went dancing with 2 friends, one newer. Today, into the city for a 2 hour workshop. Tomorrow I am wagging church, cos I have been extra busy. Learning self care and listening to my body and recgnising my needs.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

You enjoy your wagging. I haven't heard that term for ages.

Hey you've seen the mistakes I have made in my use of English!

Never mind me!!. Hahaha 😆

"Let's Dance "

A great 🎵 🎶
