    I can tie a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue.
    That is basically my only talent. Makes for a good party trick.

    I guess people tell me I'm fun to hang out with, but I'm pretty sure that's because I'm really quite weird compared to others.
    Not just saying that either. I was HOMESCHOOLED, people.

    Maybe being nice counts as a talent? I hope so ^_^

    I play the piano, I sing, I crochet, I bake yummy goodies, I dance, I'm good at organizing, I'm good at styling hair and makeup.

    And I can keep up with three busy boys 8 and under on a daily basis. Superwoman!

    Whoa, you really are a superwoman!
    You must have heaps of energy! :D

    I LOVE this!!! I homeschool my boys BECAUSE of the homeschooled adults I met. They were so, you know, THEMSELVES, and not a carbon copy of the masses. So wonderful :)

    I think that my best skill, or talent if you prefer, is troubleshooting a problem. I have always been able to analyze and troubleshoot a complex problem and find the solution with relative ease.

    ^^^ this is my job...oh wait, I'm a System Support Analyst, is this supposed to be my job? It's a collateral duty...yeah, that's what it is...everyone comes to me when they have system connectivity problems and I figure it out and fix it. I actually like doing this...does this make me weird or a techno nerd? :bigsmile:

    Wow, awesome! I certainly commend you on your choice to homeschool, it really cuts out a lot of pressure to conform. I benefited hugely from it!

    I can play the piano. I am a very good cook (not so great with baking though). I've been told I'm an excellent writer (still working on a novel). I can spell just about any word you can throw at me. I can dance rather well for someone my size (years of ballet training when I was a child).

    I guess I'm pretty talented! :bigsmile:

    I am a old school geek. I have solved computer problems for over 30 years.
    I am also very good at drinking beer. This does not help the geek skills.
    I am also good at navigation. Sailing and drinking beer just go together

    A fellow geek/sailor/beer drinker. Very cool.

    I write backwards with the first word of the sentence ending up on the right side of the page - comes in handy for notes when I am at work, that way no one knows my sensitive information.


    Any other talent I have would end up with me getting a strike so we will leave it at that.

    I can dislocate my shoulder, and bring my hands, from a clasped behind my back position, up and over my head to the front of my body, while they remain firmly clasped the entire time. Put that **** in your pipe and smoke it! It freaks my kids out.

    I honestly do not think I have any talents. :(

    Traits maybe - I am very optimistic and love to smile. I like to make other smile too! I am a very good listener and have very sturdy shoulders for my friends!!

    But I can not play an instrument. I did play volleyball, but wasn't a star. I can dance, but more for the club than a music video.

    I'm plain jane. :(

    Music. I am a first soprano and am excited to be getting my voice back as the weight comes off.

    If it has an engine, I can fix it.
    If it has wheels, I can drive it.

    The flip side of that is that I cannot cut a straight line with a table saw and I cannot ride horses.

    1) I can play the piano. Not very well but I get by.
    2) I can verbally tear a person apart (I don't ever, ever use this talent unless someone has angered me beyond reason).

    1) I am pretty good at photography. I do this professionally sometimes.
    2) People tell me I have a beautiful singing voice -- I just prefer not to sing infront of anyone.
    3) I'm a decent artist (painting, drawing, and graphic design). I've entered a few contests and won. I even designed a billboard once for a radio station (when I was 16 years old).
    4) I used to love to play the flute. And, I would always win tons of contests. But, I had to quit and sell my flute to pay bills for me and my mom. I haven't played in years... and probably wouldn't even remember how to.
