Pet Peeves

Just saw someone on FB that's planning to use a crock pot as their heated chicken waterer this winter. Not sure if my pet peeve is FB, a lack of safety concerns, or just people in general.

Wouldn't it be great if schools taught fiscal responsibility as a part of the regular curriculum? Topics could include: how to balance an account, how interest works for and against you, methods for saving, why you don't need that cheap crap to be happy, what a good credit score will do for you, and I could go on and on.

Remember when it was taught? Dad started teaching when I started working at 12 yrs. Business courses in High School, so it was available. Hey, look on the bright side, there's an APP for that!

Our school teaches that. It's a required course for seniors to graduate

Alcoholism is a diease.

I respectfully disagree.
No offense intended, just basic disagreement.
In my humble opinion, cancer is a disease. Alcoholism is a condition.
My Dad was an alcoholic, (as was I), but finally ended the cycle by choice and determination.
But no amount of determination (and he fought hard) cured pancreatic cancer.
Maybe it's splitting hairs, condition vs disease?

Home Economics, I took it.
From balancing a checkbook to budgeting for meals.
Very few guys in the class.
