What Are You Thinking?

Started on a baby blanket for a family friend. Why on Earth is this a more complicated pattern than a doll pattern? O_o *loses track of crochet stitches*

My mum tried to teach me to crochet... my brain couldn't process what to do...

CT: Yeah, I'll never look at American Dad in the same way again...

Why is it so difficult to get a commission for a picture where Vergil *.....beeped out....* Nite? Like a proper picture... not the utter trash like I draw? An actual Hentai type of picture...

*nods* Tbh...it's not that hard to do (I taught myself....), but it's hard to keep on track with the pattern, especially if it's "x-amount of single crochets" and then "skip y-amount of stitches, chain b" and...yeah. Then I'm just lost. @_@

Thinking:
*reading a book review* "The writing is amatuerish". *cringes* Ouch! XP *realizes she's been thinking the same thing about that books**headwalls*

Cool!

Here in my country most young girls (from my generation and from newer generations) kinda despise "girly" works such as cooking or doing crochet, it's kinda sad to see this mindset on them.

Next month i will be attending to an exam to be able to begin college studies but now on engineering instead of biological sciences. I hope i pass on it!

To be honest, most of the girls I know are the same. :/ I always liked cooking and crochetting and sewing and stuff, but...yeah. :/ It just seems like crafty stuff is becoming a dying art. =(
Good luck with your studies. ^^

Yeah, and here men too are losing their touch with common things like repairing stuff on their own houses, like exchanging a element (or resistors) from their showers or doing something on their own cars or pipings on their houses. My father and grandfather were used to work with all this stuff in their homes, and i barely have half of the knowledge they had to work with that things haha.

Thanks for that! Best wishes for you too :)

It seems like people are going backwards in terms of skills. Most of these skills are useful practical ones that are needed when you live alone at university or buy your first house.
I know how to cook for practical reasons. If you can't feed yourself then you're in trouble. I don't consider it a female job. Everyone should know how to cook. It's practical.
I also know how to change a light bulb, sew a button, make a shelf, change car tyres, wire a plug, mow a lawn and fix toilets and computers. These are all useful skills males and females should know.

I totally agree with you, Loopy. But these little things make a difference in the end of the day, and society are kind pushing people to another paths, making them care more for their own enjoyment than other important things around us like family or the people living with us in society.

If i would marry someone in the future, i would prefer to have a wife that care mainly for the family we are constructing than for her career itself. It indeed can look selfish at a first glance but here in my country and i think that it's real in another countries too, child are growing without that connection with their parents because both of them have to work to make a living or their moms and daddys prefer to emphasize their careers instead of the nuclear family, you know? We end with child that learn more with their professors and friends in the school or in the neighborhood than with their parents, people are kinda lacking in morals these days and i see this as a really big issue for the future, i think that kind of thing only can be taught by fathers or moms as a child start to learn about the world, after this they will search for their own paths but it's still important for them to learn all the things that make our civilization come to what it is today and how our ancestors constructed all this, and this is why we have to respect their traditions, and i think that we are in debt to them, because if not for them we would never had come to life (and i think that we "pay" this debt by growing our very own childs and the continuation of our heritage with care, making them good man and woman for the future) . It looks like a really "old" vision of the world, but still, i think that it's really important for society in general, and the great ammount of divorces (for example) and things like that are a side effect of people thinking more about themselves, their enjoyment of life and their professional careers than in sustaining their very own familys.

Very true. Media tells people to do what makes them feel good, buy lots of things because they need them to feel happy, even if it means debt.
Plus reliance on technology is making life too easy. People rely on it too much. Like microwave food. People use it too much instead of cooking. It can't be healthy.

Sadly in some places it is needed. Women can't afford to be at home to look after children because prices are so high that the family need her wage too. It making it impossible to have children and look after them properly. It's not fair for children at all.
When I was small, my Dad stayed at home to look after me until I was old enough for school. He didn't want me going to a nursery, so he gave up his job. But I was lucky that my parents could afford to do that. Other parents can't. It's a sad sign of the world we live in that parents can't afford to be at home with their children. And it's children who suffer the most.

Quite true. But I have also seen children raised well by their parents (Mother/ Father stayed at home) and the child was a terrible teenager- drugs, drink and stealing. Both parents were so upset and wondered where they went wrong. No matter how well a child is raised, they make their own choices as teenagers and adults, and those choices are not always the best ones.
i think that kind of thing only can be taught by fathers or moms as a child start to learn about the world, after this they will search for their own paths but it's still important for them to learn all the things that make our civilization come to what it is today and how our ancestors constructed all this, and this is why we have to respect their traditions, and i think that we are in debt to them, because if not for them we would never had come to life (and i think that we "pay" this debt by growing our very own childs and the continuation of our heritage with care, making them good man and woman for the future) .

The only thing I would say is what future are we leaving to our children? Having a child should not be about paying a debt to people who are already dead, who will not see these children suffer in this world. People should think long and hard before having children. Can we afford them? Will they have a good life? Herediatry medical conditions passed to the child? Competition for schooling the child? Failing economy. Lack of jobs.

Children are not children forever. Soon they are adults who will have to live in this world...and many of them don't like it and some hate their parents for having them. It's just so sad that it has come to this.

I hear this generation is the most depressed ever and the most medicated because of depression. It says a lot about society when people have to take pills just to cope and keep on living.
 
I'm glad my girlfriend has shared her library information with me. So when the warning comes up saying I only have seven minutes left, make it 2 hours and seven minutes from now on :P
 
Why is it that when you finally start getting into a proper workout regime again after years of neglecting it you have overtime at work. Mixing 10-12 hour days at work with a rigorous workout after is going to be the death of me. :lol:
