Hey @Appleblossom Well done. Move over cool hand Luke , I say. What sets us 'off' You say.
No. . . I mean, what hidden thing or construct of events is the fiddlestick best left untouched thats disguised by all the other clutter we think or are led to believe, set us of.. The experts think they know us. . .
That truly is one of life's great mysteries. But you gained more than you lost and knew when to ease back of the trigger and leave. I call that great progress mate.
As for boundaries. I'm a man who's frontal lobes scan grey. It takes a very special and understanding
person to maintain an enduring friendship with such a man. She sits patiently for hours, my book keeper friend, looks up from
her paperback and glows me a smile. The constant ebb and flow of our boundaries is more than the old timbers could bare. We compromised a fence around the both of us and hope within it we can dream of happiness. As for The boundaries of others, . . well I still depend on charity there.
Have a wonderful weekend Appleblossom @EternalFlower @TAB @StuF And all tonys

Hey @StuF and @TAB Guess I have bailed on music thread. I pop in now and then.
Still got music in my life. Thats wot counts. lol
@tonys I am glad your old timbers can get shivered... and you are still seaworthy.
@EternalFlower I daresay I pulled a face when a poor excuse was made for the absence of the pdoc at our recent CTO hearing. Hearing you about long term neglect. Hang in there with NDIS and hope you get decent support to keep you afloat ... swimming swimming ... my fave colour is green too, so many variations. I work with that in my garden.
Fare thee well ... me hearties ....

Hi @Appleblossom I hear you on music. My old guitars have been dragged from pillar to post and I even have my little Hohner in my pocket for good luck though I'm not game or able to play it in here yet. One reed died about 6 years ago and they are not replaceable on mine. Wouldnt last a day without music. The internet is new to me. I'm addicted to You tube music.
Found myself getting on the music thread later and later each night with work piling up on the farm.
Its one thread I didn't feel right doing semi focused and tired. It taught me how to post songs and led me down many roads I'm still exploring. I will always be grateful to the music thread. Its on my... RE
to do list.. Yes I'm very lucky re book keeper. Don't fully understand it. The twilight zone has some unusual dwellers. If your on your way out for the eve, I'll keep one eye one the news. . Take care
Appleblossom.
Hi @EternalFlower Green wall paper skies for me too mate. Its a gentle soft natured colour, a part of our DNA perhaps. But pressed to the ultimate choice, I'll take a rainbow sandwich in neat triangles,
on a blanket by the brook.
Your struggles are such some days that I near cry for you. I think Apples probly got the best experience from what I read. Those shoes have got some mileage. All I can say is from a distance I think you often sound a little stronger than you did when I first met you, but I still worry a lot. You have solid friends here and I see newcomers have made it feel a bit more like home here.
I still would love to change it to trying make it 'better' one day... @Thyme ... ?
Ok just kidding.
@TAB What mischief have you been up to buddy. I'll have to go for scrounge. Would spent uranium fuel heat your place. How is the home. Take care mate I'll find you later
Hope everyone is warm and safe. Take care everyone tonys.
