Heck, I never had to write a check until I was 25. But it's not exactly bloody rocket science to figure out. And with the Internets at their disposal you'd think they'd be able to figure it out pretty quick.

did you consult Brent to learn how to do this?

So I work in the mailroom at school, and a student just came here and wanted to make sure his letter was ok to be mailed out, as he had never mailed a letter before. Is it wrong that I was borderline shocked that a 21 year old kid didn't know how to mail something out?

That's my feeling as well. Although I was 'lucky' I guess to have been given a good education and being brought up by some pretty good parents who taught me some important life lessons on how to be a (fairly) functional member of society. I learned how to do checks and whatnot I think in middle school, maybe even elementary, and mailing a letter was definitely done in elementary.

They did not teach this to Lil at all. I had it in 5th grade as nauseum. Lil just wrote 20 Ty notes and I had to help him address the first few. W T F. This is something that everyone should know. I think he is the only one in the family that writes TY notes for anything except a niece who is now married. I told him it is good practice. Now I can use this example :p

Oh and I am at the Happy Hockey Table. Having watched the game I am not sure how but I am. They put in the 3rd goalie and I think it must have been a science experiment. Can't think of another reason why they would do it.

That would be awesome too. It might be tough to make origami hockey players.

A buddy did that (puck drop). And to make the bride/groom kiss, you had to shoot a foam puck into a net "guarded" by a cardboard goalie. And finally, there was a hockey card at each seat at the tables, and the bride/groom had drawings for bags of candy, or cheap Twins tix. Example: "If you have the Benoit Hogue card, you win 2 seats to the Det@Twins game."

It was classic.

Smile & nod. Best advise I received during the planning process. :)

Truer words have never been spoken. (Except for the "advise" -- versus advice -- part. :p)

Things like this make me hate being lumped in with this generation.

What worries me most is not that this generation has never mailed a letter, it's that they can't take 5 seconds and think out how to do it! Heck, I never had to write a check until I was 25. But it's not exactly bloody rocket science to figure out. And with the Internets at their disposal you'd think they'd be able to figure it out pretty quick.
