Why is it not surprising that you have problems with all kinds of
relationships in your life?

This sounds like a comment I once heard during a conversation where person A
was complaining about his car being broken into multiple times in his
driveway. Some new-age a-hole came along and said "Well, maybe you had just
owned those things for too long and it time for them to go to someone else".

Like - cosmic man. That must be an example of nuanced thinking. :)

Talk about pulling ideas outta your ass.....you can do better, Chucky.

One of my children, who will never forget my reaction, said to me once
"But Dad, you can always buy a new set of tools - maybe somebody
needed them."

Said tools was my prized Snap-On roller chest loaded with Snap-On
tools I had been gathering since my Grandfather gave me my first set
of Snap-On wrenches forged in Kenosha, WI and I ain't EVEN going to
tell you how long ago that was.

To say that the air turned blue with expletives is an understatement.
Said child got quite an education that morning. :)

Epilog: The State Police actually caught the three perps in the act
trying to pawn some of the tools and I managed to get 98% of them
back.

All the best,

Tom
