Looking for recommendations for a good and decent priced person to teach me how to tie shoes. I would prefer in home training , twice a week would be excellent. If you are reading this add and would be willing to help me please email a resume attached with references to , ieatboogers@hotmail.com Serious inquirers only , thanks for reading , wish me luck ! ...... I'm so excited , I hate Velcro  

Have you passed the course on which shoe goes on which foot? This is a highly technical but recommended 3 day intensive training seminar. I can help with either but only if you are or have been committed.

Whoa Fred whoa. Let's take things one step at a time here. .....  
 
Are you willing to help me with my spelling ? I have Wednesday evenings free ?!?!

Wage, salary, renumeration etc.  
 
Let's talk about money!!!

I fear these slow steps have turned into hop , skips and now jumps. I will run a future add for when I feel I'm ready to take the step to joke telling . I really need to concentrate on my shoes right now , sorry !  
 
As for wages , my grandma gives me $28 a week in allowance but I could make an additional $10 walking my neighbours cat . So I can afford $17.36 a lesson.

If you find someone to teach you maybe we could learn together. People are always upset at me because I don't tie my shoes, but it comes with some benefits. If you walk around with your shoes untied you will realize that there are two types of people, there are those who care about your well being and will let you know that your shoes are untied, and then there are those who will step on your laces to try and trip you up. There are also those who look at you with complete disgust, but those people are the ones who are very judgemental and who needs them in your life anyway.

I couldn't have said it better myself Don. I just hope someone is kind enough to teach the un-teachable. I have always dreamed of riding an escalator.

I never tire of reading a truly educational thread.

offers introduction to escalators. It is a 12 week course, meeting every Tuesday from 6:13 to 11:05 PM. It is held on the main floor, just in front of the elevators.

just gotta say that i LOVE this thread!

That a mind is a terrible thing to waste.....  
Keep it coming!

Once I have mastered shoe tireing I will deffinately be enrolling in this escalator course ..... Brandon has so much to offer. I know it's right beside the bus stop , so I have no excuse to not show up but is anybody else interested in taking this course ? Maybe we could car pool ?  
 
I mean I don't have much money but the pills in grandmas purse always help when I ask uncle Stu for a ride. Trades ?!?!

Not being able to tie ones shoes is bad, but what is more frustrating is not knowing which sock goes on which foot. I feel so embarrassed at times when I take my shoes off because I just know I've got the wrong sock on the wrong foot, if any one has any tips please contact me.

You're smart to become tie certified.  
 
The Manitoba Government promotes shoe tying to prevent high health care costs caused by tripping.  
 
Manitoba Health estimates an average of 20 hip surgeries per year could be prevented by properly tired shoes, saving the Province an estimated 200,000 annually.

Don't laugh too hard Don, my wife has a thing about which sock goes on which foot. She can help with the answers you seek.

Good, well maybe not. I was wondering if there is a politically correct way to tie ones shoes. We refere to them as a pair of shoes, but they are equal as shoes but completely different, so if taking a course on tying them will they have to be tied the same, or will one be tied right handed and the other left handed. Our world has become big on political correctness and I don't want to step on anyone's toes.

Is there a deadline for registering? Do you know the cost and what materials we have to bring? Are we admitted with Velcro or is it limited to laces?

for the course that starts July 19. I would suggest you register quickly, as they always fill up. The cost is $11. Please bring a note pad, sunglasses, 2 pork chops and a butter knife. Shoes of any type are optional.  
Hope this answers your questions.
