2 Things you are good at and 2 you are no good at

[Michael Z]

I am good at finishing drywall. Not fast, but willing to put as many thin coats as needed to even finish a ceiling that can be painted with satin or semigloss. I am also good at fishing, willing to keep moving around until I find the fish.

I am terrible at plumbing so I always have a big bucket or catch bin under my new work! I am terrible at deer hunting since I tend to hunt like I fish, moving around too much and trying too many things, sending the deer into the next county!

Also, I never could get the hang of charcoal grilling - that Weber gas grill was probably one the best 5 purchases of my life!

 

[That Lady in PA]

I am good at :
- painting. I LOVE to paint and can cut in with great precision. No tape ever needed.
I have fantastic brushes and no one else is allowed to use them
- New York Times crossword puzzles, in ink

I stink at:
- remembering names. Faces, yes.... names, no.
- baking with yeast. I can make pies, cakes, and ice cream from scratch like a pro, but anything with yeast is a HUGE disaster. So I don't even try anymore.

- New York Times crossword puzzles, in ink

^ This. When people ask me why I do them in ink, I always say "Because sometimes, the puzzle has to win."

I'm willing to bet you hang on to unfinished puzzles, as well.

Ask me to baby sit or work crafts. It will not happen.

[astralcat]

Not good at directions – I couldn’t find my way out of a wet paper bag – this includes assembly directions – can’t seem to follow them and end up putting things together by logic. Not too good at cooking – I tend to make the same meals over and over because I lack the creativity of doing something new. Good at self-discipline, good at problem solving.
