haha totally on point

That's good for business!

I teach myself a ton of stuff online. Youtube taught me how to sew, crochet, iron... A ton of stuff my mom probably learned from my grandmother but never found the inclination to pass on. Is it the same for men?

The time you could have been helping your dad in the garage was when you were at soccer practice

My husband has to use YouTube for some things.

I need to learn to sew

I def use and recommend YouTube tutorials for lots of crafty things.

Also I feel like I know how to use a tape measure.... But do I?

@Deleted User I got into sewing so I could make/modify Hunting/Military/Tactical Gear. Let me know if you need any help. Heres an Uzi chest rig I made after i couldnt find anything i wanted to buy. You can pick up old quality sewing machines on craigslist for super cheap, adjust for inflation the model I bought cost 2,000 dollars in the 40's I picked mine up for 50 bucks, works great.

@Cait_Bradshaw - MA my pops didn't slack on passing knowledge down to me and my brothers. He taught us how to build a house from ground up, how to work on cars and small engine repair, we had a tobacco farm growing up and when my dad was home we weren't far off.
I don't have any sisters so my mom taught us how to cook, do laundry, sew, child care and other things women traditionally do, so we would be prepared for the world.

My dad even prepared us for the JQ. My dad is so awesome. Haha

Also, I wish we had and mason. I want to learn tuck pointing. I understand it, but I want the secrets.

That's awesome. My father (if indeed I could call him that) wasn't around and I know how to do more than he does. Just about everything I learned I either taught myself or was taught to me by my grandfather

Sad reality for a lot of people in this day and age.

That's why learning these things and passing them on are so important

I was taught many different things from my father my grandfathers and great grand fathers on both sides. I teach my sons how to do everything I know.

@RevStench that's fantastic. I have great parents too but they bought into the feminist narrative and figured we'd all be career women with no need/interest in homemaking. So besides basic laundry and cooking it was kinda shrugged off.

@Brandon Ironside- ND that is some sweet and badass sewing skills.

@Brandon Ironside- ND wow!

I'm going to a wedding in a couple of weeks and am going to be buying a suit. What are some new styles and trendy color combos right now?

You arent one of the groomsmen are you?

@here anyone have some advice for @Tony V - CA#7460 ?

Depends on the time of day and the setting. In any case- black is too dour unless you're the groom imo.

If it's in the morning I'd go light grey with notched lapels.

You can get away with wearing a non-white shirt as long as it's a light color and the tie doesn't clash

depending on time of day either grey or black. my preference for a tie or aesthetic trim color would be a deep red.

@Tony V - CA#7460 Post a pic of yourself with as much visible as you're comfortable
