So if cheese isn't supposed to be wrapped in plastic, please explain "re-create the effect of cheese papers by wrapping your cheese in wax paper, then following that with a layer of plastic wrap"

If you have rock climbing (gym or outdoors) in your area, give that a try. It's fun exercise.

Growing up I always had a curiosity towards cooking and following recipes, but I could have used a little guidance on selecting the right foods and portion control. Until the age of 30, I had really terrible eating habits that started to manifest into some minor health problems. Thankfully I was able to reign it all…

I still feel that way about being independent, even though I've seen the problems it causes with trust. Still working on it. I got conflicting messages, though, from the same parent, about how I'm incomplete without a man and the role of said man must be to do the things I, as a woman, can't do (whatever those are…

How to have a healthy romantic relationship. That chemical responses are not necessarily love. That love does not necessarily conquer all. What characteristics are important in a life partner. How to value myself enough to learn the above at a much younger age than I did.

We don't teach history to help you get a job, we teach history because without it people grow up to be ignorant jerks who deny that things like slavery and the Holocaust ever happened.

When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school. It's a wonder I can think at all

I'm intrigued by this concept of not eating all the cheese in one-sitting and having extra to store away for later... And, also, in hindsight ashamed as I look back to my cheese-monster eating ways.

How to talk myself up. I was always good at things that weren't socially acceptable growing up (academics). So I learned to never talk about my skills and accomplishments. Add in a side of "Nice girls don't brag" and you have a recipe for freezing up when faced with a cover letter.

check out bogleheads.com - it's a great resource. I also like mrmoneymustache.com

My 1950s copy of the Joy of Cooking has all of those at the back. I would be lost without that.

Gun safety. Although I am strongly in favor of gun control laws.

I agree with How to balance your checkbook, and also with Rick_S and CBL with regard to personal finance. I would add how to complete your taxes, and a primer on credit card debt. For any college-bound young adults, I feel it is important to go through the financial ramifications of decisions related to school, such…

I teach high school, and I am proud (and relieved) to say that I teach ALL of the skills mentioned thus far in comments: how to dress, budget, wear makeup, reasonable dating advice for a 16-18 year old, credit cards/mortgages, time management, dealing with failure, a little bit of cooking, tipping...

It sounds like a downer but that life or love or work is not going to be fun all the time, and that's ok. There are too many advice bloggers and books out there that try to convince you you can find that utopia. I think it would be better to hear that life is up and down and sometimes you just have to keep moving…

How to use power-tools of any kind. They were a complete mystery to me until I bought my first electric drill when I was 35. Also pretty-much any other kind of home-maintainence more complex than changing a plug. I first painted a wall when we bought our house. I was over 40.

I'd love to see ideas on how to hide keys for those of us who live in apartments. Most of my friends and I just give a spare set to the friend who is geographically closest, but then what happens if they're away on vacation?

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I recently moved to the Seattle suburbs from the east coast. Essentially from a place with 4 seasons to a place with 9 months of overcast drizzle and 3 months of beautiful summer... Seasonal Affective Disorder is totally legit. I recently lost my good leather belt and decided to…
