Well, nothing I wanna work on right now. Hitting daily goal super early in the day totally demotivates me!

Guess I gotta pay attention to the day job now...it's so damn boring, though!

I make it a point to educate dd on all of these things (including how to change a tire :). When I was young, I just was never showed any of this. I've learned a lot over the years (fixed the washer a few times, plumbing, the roof - oh, the roof!). But dd has learned all about this from me :)
You're a good parent. My dad made us learn how to check the oil, change a tire, and other small car things before we even had a license to drive.
They also used old checkbooks to make us learn how to write checks - even allowing us to write checks with a fake account with fake money in it that they set up for us. What we had, what we had taken out, what we put in, was all posted on the fridge. We would match up our checkbooks ledger thingie with it to make sure all was correct. They taught us a lot of that practical knowledge that is needed when you become a grown up. It has greatly benefited me over the years.

I taught my kids how to float a check, I feel proud.

Sergey is still broken for me. :( Also, there is no option for me on the daily poll. I am an independent and can't vote in the Primary.:droid:
Hey just so you know, you don't have to be registered with either party to vote. All you do is go to the polling place and ask for the ballot of the party of whichever candidate you'd like to vote for. You won't be tied to that party at all if you want to vote differently in November. You still have a few hours! Most polling places (at least around me) are open til 7 p.m.

Yep, that...I'm not really dumb, I just never learned anything from anyone.

The only reason I can drive at all is because I just started doing it on my own...pretty much the same for everything, kinda alone from the day I was born. I don't think I'm doing so bad considering

My step dad did the same thing with me and cars. Before I was ever allowed to drive I had to rotate the tires, prove I could check and add oil and he even made me change the distributor cap (I dunno why). I will teach my kid when he's a little older.

Go your parents on the checkbook education! I planned on that with my son but his school just had them do it two years in a row during Christmas. They had a budget and had to shop for (fake) gifts and write checks for them and keep a running checkbook ledger. I like your idea of the fridge ledger. I'm going to steal that idea if that's ok :)
