Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Well said!

 

It’s hard to quote 2 pages…

Just need to say thanks for the courage and willingness to contribute.

 

Just caught up on todays going on. There is a bunch of great men and ladies on this thread that all have seen or lived many different life experiences. Some good some bad, but the greatest thing is none of the people here put down others for having true health or mental conditions. I’m glad to be part of this group.


I would love to say my life is great, but the truth is that I have had anger issues and they come back out of the blue. I’ve dealt with depression in myself and loved ones. Been divorced and all the issues that come with that. Death of loved ones that every week something comes up that makes the pain come back (sometimes it good). Many times I have wanted to sell everything and disappear from everyone. BUT, each day I am reminded that this life here is short term, and there’s a greater place coming.


You never know what someone is going through in their personal life.

 

Got my new to me super tall table moved into the kitchen finally.

I need to build a few more matching chairs. Any suggestions on what wood I should use for making the chairs.

 

Great conversation today friends, thank you all for sharing.

Well Done. Thoughts and prayers for finding favor in the interview process

 

Sorry to hear. Unfortunately for a lot of situations, it's easier to convince one's self that everyone else is better without you than with you.

The important thing is to find ways to talk openly about the stuff before it gets that far. In my experience, many private issues, from miscarriages to estranged family members, the situations aren't as unique or as odd to many others as we're lead to believe from society. Even early deaths (my dad's dad passed from a heart attack when my dad was 17. So seeing me grow up through my 20's was a really rough time for him--he really feared the same outcome for him).

And if nothing else, being open about it is enough to take part in conversations to learn that others have experienced the same things and continued living well, despite those speed bumps in life.

 

I've had quite a bit of seat time running heavy equipment. Caterpillar Bulldozer's are my absolute favorite. I find it very cathartic to be able to push and shove a wall of material anywhere you want.

I like that table a lot. It's got a farmhouse vibe to it.

 

Spoons and forks! Stainless steel up to 3mm thick.

 

Congratulations! Hope your interview goes well.

 

So sorry for your loss. prayers for his family and friends
