I am really good at eating like it is the most delicious meal in the world, especially when I'm hungry.
A family from my old church offered me a job to eat with them because one of children didn't eat too much and they thought having me at the dinner table will boost the boy's appetite. A true story.

does your seeing in the dark include being a little over-sensitive to light?

nice list. :)

Interesting question, not on a consistent basis. My sensitivity to light only hits in connection to migraines.

Very funny Ugly. :p I happen to be Puerto Rican and I can't help it if I can Google people like it's nobody's business. It's a gift and it comes in very handy. :cool:

I'm good at getting to know people so well that they have very little thought privacy. I often tell them what they are doing and why. Freaks people out haha

I go-to response when you tell me what I'm thinking, "Get out of my head William!". ;)

I'm really good at not knowing what I'm good at. Does that count?

Whistling is about it. I can whistle any song I know. I tell my students that unless they can whistle better than me, they can't whistle in class. A couple of times, though, we all whistled together. One of my students said we sounded like a Mama bird with a bunch of baby birds. It was really a nice day.

That is a definite talent, my friend. All my life I could not whistle, no matter how hard I tried or how many people tried teaching me, I just couldn't. It wasn't until I had my tonsils and adenoids removed that I finally was able to whistle.

My little sister couldn't whistle, either. I used to try and tell her how, and she'd try and try and never get out a note. That's cool that you were able to after your surgery.

i'm also really, really good at getting lost when my husband gives me directions like this:
"turn east and drive 100 yards." (huh? what am i, a compass?? and how far is 100 yards?)

so if anyone knows of gainful employment in either test taking or getting lost, please PM me. :)

And I thought it was just me, Ellie. Lol. I've lived here for years, yet still need a gps to get around to most places. I do try not to use it all the time, so I can break that dependancy. It's gradually working. The embarrassing thing is the roads are basically laid out in a grid, so it should be really simple, but obviously not, lol :)

And I would say I'm very good at attracting every type of stray, homeless animal, no matter where I am.

If only I could take them all home :)

I am good at raising my eyebrows independently of each other. Like, really good. I can do it to the beat of a song. Remember Spock from Star Trek and his eyebrow? Like that, but with both eyebrows.

Why? Because my mother can and I thought it was neat so I tried it. *shrug* It's totally useless though.

I can also make good sourdough bread but that has a real world application that I'm about to apply for breakfast. Ciao for now.
