I don't know what happened...those 561 train songs I've been singing around her since infancy must have seeped through somehow... First song she ever learned on the guitar? "Hobo's Lullabye", of course. What's a parent to do? Lately I've been obsessively singing ("practicing" as I like to say) "This Old Mandolin", and I guess that hasn't helped matters. Well, time to catch an outbound... |

I loved the focus on "crappy" in the first one..........But as I read through..........You have much to be proud of there.....and I ain't talkin' about Rick's crappy guitar. Spaw |

10 Sep 01 - 09:24 PM (#546717) Subject: RE: BS: My daughter's interesting career choice From: GUEST,Ely We had to take this thing called the Kuder Interest Survey (or something like that) and it told me I should either be a ranch hand or an auto mechanic. It said I'd be better at those than 99% of girls and 91% of boys. Too bad auto repair didn't fit into my schedule. I'm cleaning up dog poop at a veterinarian's office right now--do you think that's close enough? --Ely (another daughter who's bound to make a weird career choice) |

When asked by the 'careers officer' what subjects I was interested in, I replied " Sciences". To which the 'careers officer' said I should train to be a nurse and turfed me out of the room! Glad we no longer live in that type of society! Good luck with Hobo-ing and always remember to get either a pot of cold cream or a very good moisturiser ( really stops chafing from getting out of hand - or feet ) TTFN M'Lady P. |
