clo, 

re: "I don't recall commenting on your additional college education. My instinct would be to compliment you for your efforts to expand your knowledge."


Way back when, I'd mentioned a discussion with a classmate who was stunned that I was able to afford a farm.

#msg-696933

I wrote, "But he's a poor, starving kid who probably can't imagine actually having some savings and being able to own something himself."

Something in that post made you fly off the handle, implying that I'd said I saw no value in his taking classes. You lobbed an uncalled-for grenade my way to boot: "Do you get nose bleeds at that level?"

Most odd, today, to read that it was meant as a compliment. That was one strange compliment.

"I also attended Junior college this last Spring and took 11 units. (clo actually faulted me for doing so, though I haven't yet figured out her "logic.")"

I don't recall commenting on your additional college education.
My instinct would be to compliment you for your efforts to expand your knowledge.

I do remember suggesting 'young folks' should consider learning trades, electrical, plumbing, etc. instead of college, to avoid deep financial debts.
My logic, they can't outsource fixing leaks & wiring.
As I recall, you liked the idea but said your son wouldn't go along with it.
