What can you do that would surprise people who know you? (PG people!!!!)

I will start....

I am a vegan that can carve a turkey where not one shred of meat is left on the carcass - in less than a dozen knife cuts. Years of watching the Frugal Gourmet and Jacques Pepin paid off! :tongue: There is a rule, though, no pics are allowed of me being a carving master. *shudder*

I can also cook beef perfectly and can tell it's internal temp by touch.

Yes, I cooked that two weeks ago. Like I said... I am obsessed with cooking shows :smile:

What can you do that would surprise people?

    you said PG, I'm out.... kidding. I can do (at least) 100 regular push-ups (in 5 sets of 20 reps, that is) and at least 500 (20 sets of 25 reps) crunches. Did both last night, in fact. :bigsmile:

    I can hold my liquor REALLY well. I don't know if it legit counts, but I could out drink frat boys when I was in college...

    I'm also a really good cook/baker

    I knew I liked you. I have a good friend who told me her favorite thing about me was that I was her only friend who could keep up with her while drinking. I bet it would be fun to see who between you and me could drink the most. My body just knows when to stop. I fall asleep. I've often woken up the next day with a completely full drink on my night stand. My husband, on the other hand, feels like he should finish his drink. And then he's sick sometimes when he does that.

    I have a photographic memory
    I also have unbelievably sensitive hearing, which makes me an excellent eavesdropper.
    I'm really mechanically inclined, I like to take things apart and put them back together.
    I'm obsessed with cars, my knowledge of cars and engines shocks most men I meet. I'm also an excellent driver ;)

    I'm also the most obnoxiously responsible drunk ever. I make everyone drink at least 2 full glasses of water before going to bed and I make everyone take a vit B pill. I set up the counter for the morning after with more vitamins, bottles of water/OJ, and coupons for McDonalds for my friends who need it as a hangover cure. Its always fun. Qarol, we have to test, see who could get our drink on best!

    I can touch the floor, palms down, without bending my knees, and I'm 38. I could do this when I was 9 months pregnant (at 32).

    I also have incredible hearing. I teach high school, and I hear EVERYTHING. Shocks and amazes the kids. I feel like I have a super power sometimes.

    I brew beer. I can type about 96wpm. I can play music by ear - mostly horns: trumpet, trombone.. I'm not too shabby at the saxaphone. I am not shy, sometimes to a fault. I can make friends with anyone.

    I can tell you the corresponding number to each letter of the alphabet on command, no matter how drunk.

    ie. P is 16.



    You didn't say "useful" skill.

    Just a side note: I'd really like to get my hearing tested. I'm convinced I don't hear well.

    You sound like an awesome friend! Nothing wrong with trying to prevent hangovers.
