I wish I would have listened

I am finding that as an adult there are a lot of things I need to learn, what is really annoying is that some things I know I was already taught as youth, but because it was not important to me at the time, I choose not to internalise what I was being taught.
Like what you ask, well her is a list of things I am kicking my self for not paying attention to and now have to relearn:

Color tones, am I warm or cool, what colors to wear
how to iron
how to clean whites (soak for 2 hours with borax in the washer)
excesses habits
eating right
crochet
how to play the piano
how to sing
how to read music
budgeting
food storage/72 hour kits
spelling/ grammar (thank goodness for spell check)
...
The list could go on and on, why is it that I will not learn unless I see a need at the time?  I could save myself so much grief if I would just pay attention to the things I am being taught the first time.  AAARRrggghhh.

Where do you buy borax? I keep hearing about it's amazing home-cleaning abilities, but I've never actually bought it...because I don't know where.

P.S. I totally knew you were going to post about this;)

hehehe, I get it at Mayceys in the laundry row, you can always ask for help to find it, I do that all the time (not at Wal Mart, asking for help takes longer then finding it yourself, because they do not even know what it is you are talking about so they have to go back and ask the manager... and then they also do not know what you are looking for... wow I did not know trail mix was a hard question, but I guess it was...sorry for the vent bad experiences asking for help at the WALMART.) other stores that are not so big box are pretty helpful.
