my mother taught me how to sew,

LOL! My Mom tried, bless her heart, but her being left-handed, I could NEVER catch on! I'm (sadly) self taught, but what I do know has been passed to the girls, so at least they're not totally lacking :)

is their parents don't do any of these mundane day to day things

(sigh)

My family spends a great deal of time discussing the rampant stupidity of the general public.

I'm too cheap

ROFLMAO! We need to start a club.... Cheepers FReepers!

It drives my family crazy because I insist on reusing the big plastic freezer bags if all that's been in there is a piece of homemade bread :)

Sounds like the making of a new Daily Thread :)

I admit, when it comes to machine sewing, I'm pretty much self taught because I wasn't interested in it when I was 13/14 - I learned enough to make myself a couple of gored skirts and scoopnecked shirts - and then I never touched a sewing machine until I was pregnant (she will be 7 next week and I'm 44) Pillows, blankets, curtains are about the extent of my repetoire :)

Cheepers FReepers!

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually just responded to someone on this thread who claims my garden activities could be used for another occupation paying more money.

I will reuse the freezer bags if they didn't contain raw meat, poultry or fish...or didn't get stained with tomato products.
