Learned how to cook/sew from my mom way before HS....I thought a sewing machine was part of household appliances...did not realize that some people don't know how to sew/cook until I became a "bride"........I still know women who have a kitchen because it came with the house and a sewing machine is a foreign language. But, I am that way with a lot of computer stuff, IPODS, smart phones, etc....so we all have black holes.........But I am happy in my world........
