    I don't think that many people pay for this but... I teach random strangers how to juggle for free.

    Seriously- that totally rocks my socks!! I want to learn!!!!!!

    I don't do ANY of this stuff for myself... not only do I rarely find time, but nothing ever turns out right when I do it! Even things as simple as nails/eyebrows look better when I have someone else do it. I guess some people pay to jailbreak their phones, and I can do that (so could they if they looked it up).

    Cut my own hair, I've never been to a hairdresser & I get mine done perfect each time. Dye my own hair. Workout free. Repair computers when asked by everyone. I do websites free as well. Clean, cook.... hell I'm a friggen maid for free. Loads of other things but they all seem boring as well.

    My fiancé never has to hire someone to do graphic design work for his company because I have a degree in it :laugh: And he reloads ammo when it's necessary/more convenient. He used to be a gunsmith, too, so he does all of our gun maintenance, upgrades, etc., which is awesome because I would have no idea how to do any of that stuff!

    Where/how did he learn gunsmithing? It's something that interests me, but I have no background there to build on, other than liking to tinker...

    He was an 18B weapons sergeant in the military and then ran a gunsmith shop for a while after he got out :) I'm pretty sure you can take classes with the NRA for gunsmithing, but I think the easiest thing for you to do is ask a local gunsmith where they got their training (people in the gun community are SO nice and your local shooting range probably has a gunsmith employed, they're pretty easy to get ahold of!) and see if you can find something convenient for you to get your skills where you'd like them to be

    Brazilian wax. I only pay for that when I'm too pregnant to see what I'm doing on my own. :blushing:

    Diagnose ailments.
    Unfortunately, I can't write prescriptions or I would save a lot of time and money by not going to the doctor's office.

    Teach my kids piano and martial arts. Make jewelry. Cook. Clean house. Cut the kids' hair. Change the oil in my car. Well, sometimes--that's something I don't mind paying for when I'm busy.
