Here's the kicker they have one class there that doesn't fit in. It's a floral class, the kids make fake floral arrangements. The room is scattered with piles of fake flowers and that green styrofoam.

Oh, my ...... maybe I should have taken a class like that.

Back on the farm, in the fall, my aunt would come out to the farm and collect up dead plants and make floral type arrangements that were beautiful.

I watched her and thought, heck, I can do that! However, when I tried, my "arrangements" looked like someone stuffed a bunch of weeds in a jar .....

My mom decorates her house with fake floral arrangements all the time. It's just something you get better at with time and some imagination. I do respect the art of it but at a school that is supposed to be about starting college degree plans I don't see where that falls.

Do you think your granny would have liked Cole's choice in designs for his gear and brake boots?

My great grandmother would NEVER have allowed something like that near the horse & buggy ...... cause it would have scared the hell out of the horse ......

Nice wrap job. Looks interesting. Does it do something (like help keep the dust off the rear glass) or is it just for looks ..... ??

Plus, that class taught me how to sew by hand and machine, a skill that came in handy more than once in the military.

After doing long ruck marches, and settling down in the biv sites, I'd religiously get my sewing kit out, thread a needle, then put the needle through my blisters and leave the thread in overnight. Guess who didn't complain about blisters the next morning? Not to mention, I can hem my own dress pants, let out my dress pants and suit jackets, do minor repairs on clothing and if I'm in the mood, I could go out to the fabric store and make my girlfriend a one off purse.

It ended up being a very useful skill, even if it is underused nowadays.

I never had any hot teachers. Lucky!

Well.. there was 1 in middle school. Oh how I remember her well. Short hair, glasses, small stature, late 20's to mid 30's.

Let's just say World History was a much more interesting class maybe thats why I love history so much right now!

And to keep this post relevant.. I drove my FRS today??

Will do. They were up front that the parking brake boot is a bitch, and normally they get customers to send it to them for the install, but I didn't want to deal with the shipping hassle.

Maybe I'll try and remember to do a DIY for it.

Well now, soulreapersteve, we don't know what @Cole considered to be a "hot" teacher ...... his vision might have been blurred by raging hormones .....
