Counting back change.
I learned how to count change at the age of 7 when I had my first paper route. It amazes me that adults can not perform this simple task.
Also, I was a sawyer for a few years, part-time. There were 4 mills in the town I lived in. The last one closed up a few months ago. All the mills around here now seem to be automated. If you see seven pages, you have your prefs set at their lowest setting, I only see 4 pages.
I mentioned in an earlier post , that I re-count the money the teller at the credit union gives me...been doing it ever since I started accounts, and no one has ever gotten upset.

Thinking... some places tell you every word to say, as well as the exact change to give.

I mentioned counting back change on page one IIRC Page 2 at the latest.
Now this is strange. I recall making the post, I recall people responding to it, Yet I don't see it in the thread.
Of course I was looking yesterday for a thread about an RV-Fire which happened at a rally where they cause was an electric blanket
Can't find it either, and I searched all threads over the last 3 months using the key word "FIRE" I hit on camp fire, Fire roasted, Gun fire and... Well, everything but what I was looking for.
Reading, without skipping many posts (I"m guilty)
Telling the truth
Saying "Yes Sir" and "No Sir"
Holding the door for someone
helping the lady with her coat.
Nothin adds excitment like something that is none of your business

Getting beat with a Belt when you did something bad.
Pumping water for the household from the well out back.
Calculating Trig with a pencil.
Acting like a Gentleman.
Acting like a Lady.

As a matter of fact I TAUGHT slide rule once. And can still use one if I find it, At least for the basic stuff, Might need to "refresh" a while on some of the advanced functions.

Is that a woman thing to put a small monitor a mile away and elevated like that with the keyboard down low ? My step-daughter's setup is like that and I shake my head everytime I see it.

Alaska Dave, to paraphrase your OP; Ya wanna know what’s depressing?
Crude persons you run into in daily living that do not know the sound of their Father’s belt coming off his belt loops, or their Mother's switch...
Performing daily chores without the use of electricity.
Test’s being taken with the use of a calculator.
Men and women acting like ne'er-do-wells.
And total disregard for common sense.
Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
Common Sense
1776
The first paragraph of the Introduction.
Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defence of custom. But tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason.
