If you're wearing yoga pants, you probably want to carry tampons in your backpack and not your tiny yoga pants pocket.


Just an observation.

How to jump start a car.

How to write a letter (a real physical letter). My art teacher made us do this in high school and most of the kids had never sent a letter, he called us "letter virgins". We could pick who ever we wanted to send it to.

How to turn off the electricity and water in a house.

How to be polite and considerate.

How to do banking (deposits, signing checks, the difference between savings and checking)

I just added:
purchasing a car
leasing an apartment
applying for a loan

Mike's suggestion about manners I'm going to employ, demand really, every day as part of the class expectations.

Hopefully it will become normal for them.

Landscapers have brought in a jack hammer to break up the caliche soil. Mrs Pere's project is out of control.

"Applied Economics" was a required class for all sophomores when I was in high school. It was a class devoted to the stuff you're looking into. Sure, it should be taught at home, but doing it in school at least gets everyone some training. I know this will come as a surprise...but not all parents are very invested in their children.

Don't think of it as checkbook balancing - think of it as reconciling your personal finances. Way too many people have no idea how much money they REALLY have available to them.

I write exactly one check a month because our archaic mobile home park hasn’t set up an autopay system.

Disagree. Why "hide"? Menstruation happens. To like 50% of the human race. Who cares?

I've been having a salad more often for lunch these days to keep my blood sugar down and hopefully lose some weight.

I mix all the ingredients in a fairly large bowl and I don't know why, but I really get a kick out of eating from the big bowl.

stillfreeda said:

I too, enjoy a big bowl.

So bored.

My kids are watching a video about Poetry Slams. It's our next unit and I've been doing this since I started so I can pretty much recite the video.

My resistance (get it?) to electric cars is a combination of range and recharge. I know that there is a growing network of charging stations, but the time to “fill up” remains too long. I like a cross country road trip. I’m on one now.

Autonomous cars would be a boon to people like my MIL. Shouldn’t be driving, but is. I don’t think she’d give up control though.

There for the generation behind mine, I think.

There may be a growing network of recharging stations, but not here. Not yet.

I can't even think of one place, locally. I'd have to be able to be sure I could get the car home before it ran out of charge, and then be stuck there as long as it took to recharge it....
