Our school systems makes no room for necessities you need for life. I remember German classes were teaching the basics such as threading a sewing machine to fix perhaps a broken sheet, why discard?

The basics of Continental knitting: My father, a full colonel, could knit while the German government gave him blisters. The British version on three needles is inefficient. Rip a garment for material if indicated. Home-knit socks are always welcome, make good inexpensive gifts. On maneuvers, my father was watching a farm wife who had cheap material to spin and knit the material. Male hands can knit just as well as female hands. Since there were no more fences to repair or help a cow in labor, vat servers, why not watch a woman. We drive German cars. I own a very good Miele (vacuum cleaner) with attachments to clean the house. What a machine. You can't believe it. What a way to clean the house. My advice is get the best for good money.

Skiing is good for anyone, but hire teachers who can give students what they need for life.
