Can or Can't

Yes, even the tiny letters at the bottom. But for some reason, I have trouble reading the closed captions on the TV screen.

If you had to bake a pie without using a recipe, could you do it?
 

Cannot. But I have a couple of wonderful gizmos that help me. They open anything.

Can you remember the words to most of the popular songs you like?
 
Can. Apparently song lyrics remain very strong memories even for people with dementia and Alzheimer's.

Can you resist singing softly and/or dancing your way through the grocery store when good music is playing?
 
Can. Some crocheted and needlepointed pieces.

Can you mostly creative talents in non-traditional artistry? For me those would include building websites and devising intricate spreadsheets.
 
Can. Writing and directing plays, performing, playing the piano, writing newspaper items.

Can you smile about at least one major news headline in the past week?
 
I can sew on a button or take up a hem, but that's it. My husband can both machine and hand sew. (We both spent over 40 years in the apparel industry.)

Can you walk into a friend's kitchen and, without using recipes, pull together a delicious meal from whatever disparate ingredients you find? (My mother was a marvelous instinctive cook - I am not.)
 
I don't know. I guess it depends on what ingredients happened to be there.

Can you usually remember a new acquaintance's name after meeting them once?
 
I can't!!! Have always had difficulty remembering names. Can't blame it on old age, for it has been a problem for me for decades.

Can you find your way back to someone's home you visited once without the aid of GPS, roadmap, etc.?
 
Can

Can you know what weekday your birthday, 4th of July, Halloween, Christmas & New Years will fall on, just by knowing the weekday of only one of those dates?
 
Can. I'm getting better, partly because I recently replaced my dying phone with one that happens to have a better camera. That said, I've never been much of a shutterbug to begin with.

Can you give a speech in front of a group of 25 or more without feeling nervous?
