I remember looking at the School Lockers in the hall ways and thinking how little the Lockers have become since I was in school.  They are now half the size of what they used to be, I don’t know how these kids are managing to cram everything that they need into them. During the winter months with your coats, boots, mittens, umbrellas and the like it must be a real hassle for the poor kids.

Now my Gym Locker was small, if I remember correctly it was a Wood Locker, which was a poor choice, in my opinion, since  wood absorbs odors and we all know how smelly our gym clothes were back then. Now a days they don’t even make the kids take a shower after gym class, which is something that we always were made to do each and every day.

Anyway, I had a few minutes to spare last night and found myself looking at the variety of Lockers for sale on the Internet. We have come a long way baby, but I still think that they need to give today’s students bigger Lockers.

I have to say that there seems to be a great selection of these medical scrubs out there these days for folks in the medical field and that our neighbor has purchased numerous variations to wear each day. I feel for her, working so hard each day but doing her best to look good and cheerful each and every work day. At least she isn’t stuck wearing the same old lab coat day in and day out like some medical personnel end up wearing. That would be a drag for some one like her that enjoys a variety in their work attire.

My father used rain water barrels when we lived at the old home stead back in the day. I really never gave it much thought back then, but I do appreciate all of his efforts now a days. I plan on ordering some rain barrels for my own place come next pay day. If it will help with keeping our garden producing, I’m all for it. There has been a big effort to get this garden up and running and I look forward to a good harvest coming in soon.

I love this time of the year when folks are harvesting their gardens and giving away all of the extras that they have no need or use for. It’s all good!

Unfortunately, this was before the Internet was available and we didn’t know how to find college textbooks anywhere other than the university’s own book store. We spent a lot of money on college textbooks. Don’t get me wrong, the education was worth the expense, but as far as I’m concerned the textbooks should be provided to the student as part of the tuition money. The book stores would tell you that they’d buy the textbooks back after the semester was over, but the money that they paid for used books was a small fraction of their original cost. And many times they would refuse to buy them back at all, saying that the books weren’t going to be used again for another class.

Sure, you could save a little bit of money by buying used textbooks, but now buying used textbooks from Abebooks over the Internet is a huge advantage to today’s students.

I remember that there was a major push about 6 years ago in an effort to get more games that would appeal to the female population, girls in particular. I haven’t paid that much attention to it to tell you the truth but I do know that there seems to be a good effort from the gaming companies to fulfill this need.
