Students are protected from learning now! And that is a shame. I think a class or two in industrial arts should be mandatory for everyone. Little Historian has home economics...and guess what...the boys are learning to sew buttons and hem pants. Wish i'd learned that skill in life. Just saying everyone can use a broad education in the basics. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mother was a seamstress so I already knew how to sew. A couple of weeks ago my wife taught the little neighbor boy how to knit. She gave his yarn and needles. It's like with my daughters, I insisted they took a course in engines. I told them I didn't expect them to do any work on engines, I just wanted them to know when they were getting screwed over the car repair. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know when you're going to need a skill you simply don't have. A friend of mine taught her son some basic sewing. He's now a recon marine. Do you have any idea how much money he's made hemming pants and sewing patches? Let alone fixing web gear in the field? You really do have to be the Swiss Army of Knives these days.

I, apparently, got bit, right on the just-behind of my armpit. It hasn't boiled or festered, just a tiny pinprick red spot. But that was, like, nine months ago and it still is itchy and often burns and is very bothersome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No desires to swing from building to building? No issues with some girl named Mary Jane? Haven't pissed your boss off at the newspaper? Just asking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I've pissed off my boss. And the desire to swing from buildings doesn't mean you really can. And turns out Mary Jane wasn't really a girl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
