We live in the bush @greenpea
Which is great, obviously, but also means sticks and branches are forever falling on our roof. Meaning we need to replace tiles quite often. We always have a stash, but we needed to get more today - our roof guy replaced four tiles today. So we drive out to a tile recycling mob and replenish our stock

@StuF well you have the best of both worlds then :D. i always wanted to live on a farm and have horses. you know i was talking to eldest the other day and he asked if i knew where i would be at 60 when i was 21 would i have changed things and i said no because i love my kidults warts and all. would i have done some things differently sure but we all learn by our mistakes and become better people by living through them.

@greenpea I agree with you there, we learn from our mistakes, and they can make us a better person. Sometimes we don't see our mistakes or our faults because we are blinded by the closeness of things. It can take a good friend to advise you of the problem and assist you in getting through that.
Thankfully I have a good friend outside of here, unfortunately I also hurt them because of my array of issues but the understand that this is the "evil" me and that the "good" me is who I really am. They are also helping me because they experienced the worst of the human condition in a former partner. They don't want to see me become that monster and I for one certainly don't want to end up that 'evil'.
