    The Life class is taught by the family. It has nothing to do with the schools. Back in the 40s and 50s it was taught by parents, uncles, aunts, and older cousins. It also included courses on fishing, hunting, and trapping. Gardening was part of it too. In the shop classes at school, I learned to use power tools, welding, cutting, and woodworking. All that was passed along to my son, by me, his grandparents, his uncles and aunt.

    Yes, we sure did...not only getting up to change the channel, but going outside to repoint the antenna. We received 2 1/2 channels. CBUT out of Vancouver BC, KVOS out of Bellingham Wash., and KCTS (sometimes) out of Tacoma Wash. then we needed another antenna to sometimes get KOMO and KING out of Seattle, Wash. this was back in the ‘50’s.

    Default I Wonder.....

    Who makes up all those nonsense names for drugs advertised on TV? They all seem to be a conglomerate of letters that make no sense. And, then they pronounce the name that usually doesn't sound anything like the spelling...... (At least the way I was taught 70+ years ago)

    And the ads end with a legal disclaimer listing all the possible side effects finishing with “and this may kill you…”

    People, particularly women, have been complaining how Alexa listens to all their conversations, so Amazon has come out with a male version.

    It's called Alex and it doesn't listen at all!

    You are right on the money when discussing side effects. IMO, most of the time, I would rather have the illness than the side effects of the cure.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.
