Do you have a special gift of insight or intuition? Do you think differently than other people. in what way do you see that other people cannot? Do have a gift?
Very CoolI don't know if it's a gift, I can't use it for anything but I have had synesthesia all my life, ever since I can remember.. It means that I can see words in colour.. some people who have this can see numbers in colour, I only see words...
Also I have an eye for a straight line or a measurement, for example, I rarely need a ruler to know the distance between 2 points... unless I need it to be exact.
This is far more useful to me in real life.. aside from not having to measure most things, it also helped me become Ladies county champion Bar Billiards player which depends on the player being able to shoot in a straight or angled line..
I also have an acute sense of direction, so I only have to look at a map once if I'm going to a place I've never been in another country for example, and I don't get lost... here in the UK I never need a map or Satnav
Me, too. That's why I get confused when the time changes.Like Mr. Pants, I can usually figure out the time by the sun's position in the sky. I cannot follow the stars, however.
The trick is to shield your eyes from the glare by holding up your arm wearing a watch. Bingo! Right on the dot every time.If the sun is out I can tell the time within 15 mins. accuracy no matter where I am or what season it is.
Has done me absolutely no good other than I won a free beer once when someone bet I couldn't do it![]()
I have never heard of that, but how cool! All different colors or just one color. And, oh my, if I didn’t need a ruler my life would be so much better. I’m going to hire you the next time I have to hand a picture wallI don't know if it's a gift, I can't use it for anything but I have had synesthesia all my life, ever since I can remember..

Do you see the same word in the same colour each time? Does is display differently based on the mood it conveys?It means that I can see words in colour.. some people who have this can see numbers in colour, I only see words...
I see the same word in the same colour every time, regardless of the mood it conveys but all words are different colours if you see what I mean..Do you see the same word in the same colour each time? Does is display differently based on the mood it conveys?
lol, if my o/h doesn't have a ruler to hand, he'll often call me and ask me to come look at a piece of metal and say what size it is.. or something he's about to hang up on the wall and ask me to tell him if it will fit in a certain size space ...I have never heard of that, but how cool!

yes , it's unusual but it's not useful for anything...@hollydolly This really is a fascinating gift.

LOL..read my first post and other posts after...Sounds like you have synesthesia. I've always thought it would be cool to experience.

not true..you're not boring ( dunno about the weird )...Yeah, my gift is being boring and weird at the same time.
You shall from here on forward take point.My gift, if you choose to call it that is that I always know where North is. No matter the time of day, the lack of solar or lunar reference, or my physical location on the planet I can point to magnetic North within a few degrees of accuracy. In my hunting days this ability frequently resulted in some merry arguments with my nimrod companions about where camp was.
Actually this ability is not all that rare.
Oh no you don't. Old Navy guys don't do point. We take the whole darn ship with us.......including the biggest guns we haveYou shall from here on forward take point.![]()
