If I had impressive gifts, I would have gone that way. (Which means Willie should have never mentioned belching the alphabet. lol)
Sadly, I would still have had to. There's not much else I can really do all that well.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I can ride one of these. My wife and I have a pair of them.

I took lessons from Gildo. I'm the guy in the black and white shirt standing at the corner of the building.

Um would have to say musician.

Ive played keyboard, guitar, oboe, flute, piano accordian, recorder, saxophone,
oh and I can also play a tune with a leaf from a plant and the comb, and the spoons. Lol

Also have a talent for annoying people, especially hoity toity people. Lol

As part of my job I have to speak to the police, councils, planning departments,
councillors, various enforcement agencies, sometimes MPs. Plus while dealing with
my Aunts medical issues I've spoken to countless doctors, nurses, phycologists,
physios, ambulance staff.

I just speak to them all like normal every day people, which infuriates the socks
off some of them. Lol. There was this one consultant especially who nearly had an
apoplectic fit because I dared to question his opinion. Turned out he was wrong. :D


[h=2]hoity-toity[/h]adjective (Informal) haughty, proud, arrogant, stuck-up (informal), lofty, conceited, snooty(informal),
scornful, snobbish, disdainful, supercilious, high and mighty (informal), overweening, toffee-nosed
(slang, chiefly Brit.), uppish (Brit. informal)
My auntie up from the south was trying to beall hoity-toity.

BTW, they do go faster. This is only a taste over 30 mph, but it feels like a hundred.

I just recently purchased another guitar...made in Spain..(classical)...I so feel for you...music is my deepest expression..art comes 2nd...I am praying Angela, for you...

lol the potatoes...stuck a bunch of spud sprout thingies in the ground once for fun and got a big bucket full...I don't like gardening as much as I used to...think the endless weeds here in NS dampened that

teaching...yes...we see that!

French, eh? yes...noticed that...Psalmist is from Montreal like me...or I am like her or something like that LOL!

I played classical guitar for years, before RA made my hands too weak to hold down the frets! Lucky I have had flute for a back up. I also pretty much had to give up saxophone just too heavy a touch for me. That's why I am a bit worried about losing my ability to hold the flute. I used to be a singer too, but RA and asthma took a lot of that away. Or, maybe it is just my time? I hope not!

And I can work with Demi on her French. My grandmother was from France, and some how out west, we always had French teachers from France. My grammar is probably a bit on the weak side, but I can always brush up on it. I used to teach French immersion and FSL. I also studied German and Spanish. Spanish I can read, but not talk, German, not either!mtoo,many long multi compounded words for me, although it did help a lot with Greek having studied it.

Teaching is really your thing! I have only ever played guitar...love guitar instrumentals and such..Spanish, Mediterranean...that's not what I play...that's what I like LOL!

I know some German...different dialects though...afraid what my Grandparents spoke was not the 'high' German...was funny when we were kids..my cousins and I...they thought we didn't understand what they would be talking about it, but often we did and surprised them haha

You have done so much in your life...you are multi-talented!

I'm not the only one who is Trikke crazy. Check out the California branch of our family. (Lee is the blonde in black.)

My brother could play cards with his feet -- not quite up to shuffling, but he held on to his hand and picked out the right card to play. He had this thing about trying to get his toes to do what his fingers could do for years as a kid.

Brings a whole new meaning to throwing your hand in. :p
Would a toe do instead.

Ps hope he washed his feet before playing.

i probably shouldnt tell this because people are gonna think i am showing off but back in the summer of 87 when i was 15 i won the magic mart fish contest 2 months in a row. 15 and 16 lbs channels and i got two tackle boxes! i was the talk of the town, living the dream, ladies wanted to meet me, the guys wanted to be me. got my name in the paper and all the rest. and i caught them on cane poles. i never saw an actual rod and reel till i was probably 17.
