Story from my "childhood" and some explanation on my long posts, sometimes

[mrcabinet]

I took one semester of typing in HS. I was too distracted by the sights and smells to really learn anything, but years later wish I had. I took a year of Creative Cooking. It was like Home Ec., but just cooking. I actually enjoyed that class. A buddy of mine did the ultimate and was on the cheer leading squad for two years. He said dealing with all the snide remarks and slurs thrown his way was a small price to pay to hang out with the prettiest girls all the time.

I took “Microwave Cooking” in 8th grade. I was the only guy in the class. It was awesome. To this day i still microwave eggs when im lazy. My wife makes fun of me.

i also had to take a type class, but not for the girls but because it was MANDATORY and it was using those older manual style typewriters where you had to really press hard to get your point across/printed.

But its something that has served me thought my life - who would have thought.

For the most part, im not so chatting on some post, but i try to do so since my writing skills sucked for along time and by typing more and doing more replies i found that i hope my writing skills has made some improvement.

i also will add more than necessary sometimes.  but imo, some people just join to get a quick answer and dont care about sticking around. The answer is more important than any background.  And if all they want, good luck and dont let the door hit you on the way out. 

Some people want some context.  When im out and about im always thinking and asking some questions.  I can be satisfied with a yes or no answer, but sometimes i ask why.  Again, there are those that dont care about the why, but thats their loss.

also, when some people post vague worded questions or dont give much context, it really sucks to have to pry/pull info. I can understand why too since some people live in their own little world and things everyone else does too and know what and who they are and what they are thinking/meaning.

Ditto on girls in typing in 1964 the only guy and all but 1 where manual.

TDY at Chanute in 68 to teach missle maint instructors about the real deal.  OK we where students but had been in MM and where WAY ahead of the text book instructors. Nice base to be on when you already had 3 stripes when most had none or one.
