Being more sufficient is something I too wish for Laugh more I use to laugh when I was younger but life happened and I don't laugh as much, Ha. Good luck at all you want to learn Seems like you already know alot hugs sheila

Posted - Oct 09 2009 : 6:19:50 PM I'd like to make a weekly schedule that's realistic. I am a list maker and some of the same things on those lists have been on them for years! Hey,maybe we could swap lists. I'll do your chores if you do mine? Oh, I must be on that porch dreamin'again. Frost tonight. Reality check.

Posted - Oct 09 2009 : 2:13:37 PM Learn to play the mandolin and read music, get the weeds permanently out of my gardens, be more self-sufficient, and laugh more often.
I can change the oil, rotate the tires, and drive a stick shift, it isn't hard, just get some one to show you how, don't be afraid to get dirty and don't give up.
I sew and use a serger, cross stitch, crochet, embroider, cook and can some and I am very thankful that I know how to do these things.
I learned to swim at 18, how to roller skate at 30, now if I can just a better handle on patience and being organized.

Posted - Oct 09 2009 : 12:48:53 PM Quilt, play an instrument really well, be self-sufficient, be able to earn a living without having to work at something that I'm not really enthusiastic about, - just all kinds of things.
I can change the oil in any car, Emily. I'd be glad to teach you. I used to be a diesel mechanic. However, sometimes, I just feel so useless.

Posted - Oct 09 2009 : 12:15:55 PM Goodness seems we farm girls want to learn a lot of things I am in my mid 50's you know there are quite a few things I would love to learn to do Some of them I am sure I will never learn to do While others they have come true ; like playing the piano I didn't start until in my late 30's or early 40's I started piano classes ; brought a cheap electrical paino you know key board Gee. I can't seem to remember simple words anymore Lol I took piano every other week for around 10 years. I would have loved to learn more It is important not to give up on one's desires. So, hang in there farm girls and I am sure we will learn some more things we want to learn hugs sheila

Posted - Oct 09 2009 : 12:06:45 PM I would love to learn how to draw (more than the stick figures I do now) play the piano ride a horse be a farmer or rancher! operate a long arm quilter sew on a serger
These are just a few of the many things I'm interested in. Some of them I'm only restricted from learning them due to money (a long arm quilter costs around $17,000! and of course since we don't live in the country, learning to ranch would be costly). The drawing part is more fantasy I'm afraid since I have absolutely NO drawing abilities! The rest, I just haven't gotten around to yet.
