Topper Toys for Squares

I think I'm a little insulted by this.

Rock on, you! Star Trek saves another one. I was fortunate in that my folks decided early on that I would be the one to break the mold. Mum did teach me cooking, sewing, housekeeping (which saved me as I put myself through college as a maid) while my Da taught me auto mechanics, carpentry, electrical wiring and plumbing. The three of us built a house my junior year and I have thanked them every day for the skills they gave me. I went on to be a stage carpenter and then the foreperson of a scene shop (one of the few in the country).

Heh, I played with toys well into my teens and still do occasionally, when the cats aren't running away with them!

We have come a long way and I hope we will continue the march forward. Honestly, I'm a bit worried about girls today. There seems to be some backsliding.
