Silver linings!
Discussion
Far from it. There's no reason any of this should have happened, and every reason why it's entirely unnecessary.
I'm sharing ways that I was able to mitigate harm; there is nothing precious about it - this is iron, to protect, not silver, to cherish.
I think it's good to cherish protection of iron as well as beauty like silver. But yes, I agree with you it's all unnecessary. We are lucky to have people like you in our community who can teach the iron / protection skills necessary, I hope you know you are appreciated ❤️
