'Home Ec.' Ought to Teach Students ''*Why* They Should Do Those Things'' (Home Economics)

Uncle Jay, Finding More Value in Your Machine @mythociate (21432) • Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 12 Feb 18

Well, I never took 'Home Ec.' (a class taught by most American high-schools), because I didn't know that they taught 'why you have to do the tasks they teach.' So I don't know, maybe they already teach you 'why.' But I foolishly...

Photographers: Have you ever worked with a model you met on Model Mayhem?

hcromer @hcromer (2710) • United States 31 Aug 08

The way that I found ModelMayhem.com was from seeing links to some of my favorite model's portfolios. There are a lot of great models on this site. I thought that my town was too small and I probably wouldn't find anyone, but I...

shmeedia yes, i have worked with many model mayhemers...but in the early days of the website where people were a bit more ... call it 'pro' than the variety on there now. i feel like the talent pool got diluted by amateurs, gwc's and wannabee-models. now everyone can...

shmeedia i think mylot is more fun for people who have a lot to say, and not just 'do you prefer tea or coffee?', which was the only type of discussions i used to see when i first joined mylot so many years ago. if you enjoy writing and have a lot of 'stuff' in your...

js0107 @js0107 (25) • United States 21 Mar 10
