Just don't ask me to be quiet. It's the hardest thing for me. :)

Moni

I am not a baker! That is what bakeries are for. :)

I do not knit or crochet :( Lots of other things I don't do also, like drive. I can drive a horse though.

I'm kind of mediocre at everything, not too good or not too bad at anything.

I look at cooking as a baseball game. Some days I have a home run, most days its a first base hit or strike out. Dottie

Keeping a man!

Funny Glenda!

I do cleaning badly! And most of the time I don't worry about it.

Singing. I can't carry a tune in a bucket. I never share a hymnal with anyone.

I do not sing. Or dance. At least not in front of other people.

I am also a lousy housekeeper. That would not be a good job for me. I do not pay attention to details around the house. I would also not be a good interior decorator for the same reason. I am not interested in coordinating colors and patterns. Doesn't hold my interest, so I never learned to be good at it.

Unfortunately, I am not good at things that pay well. ;o)

ROTFLMAO, Glenda that is just toooo funny and can I steel it. In addition to what Glenda said.... washing windows and baking. I hate washing windows therefore I do it badly and I love to bake but I also do that badly. Wish I didn't. Still laughing Glenda that is just too rich.

Ok, # 2

Doing a thorough DUSTING!

I should have also said house cleaning. I've always said it will never be written on my gravestone, "She was a great housekeeper." There always seems that there is some crafty thing to do or a good book to read, that is more important. LOL Dottie

I can't sing worth a hill of beans and I can't dance, either.
I have a very difficult time keeping my mouth shut.

I am also a horrible singer.

Can't sing, can't dance, can't be diplomatic, and Lord knows, I've tried!

Being tone deaf, do not ever ask me to sing... only because I *will*. I love to sing. Too bad people can't recognize even the most popular of songs when they are sung by me. This is entirely unfair because my mom had a beautiful voice. She led the church choir.

Good thread, Lydia!

I am what Peg Bracken once called a "random" (translate: lousy) housekeeper.

Tried downhill skiing, but discovered I thoroughly dislike going down hills.

I thought I'd be good at painting walls, but I was wrong.

I can't whistle.

I always wanted to speak another language fluently. I know it's not too late to learn, but without someone to speak with it seems rather pointless to make the effort.

It would be nice to have a skill that pays really well.

I hate to dust too. I will admit to being a lousy housekeeper because I would rather be quilting, crocheting or messing with my antique rose bushes.

I am not mechanically inclined. I have trouble using the DVD player...I am afraid of tearing it up! Computer skills beyond logging into a forum are beyond me!

I can not play the playstation, WII or XBox games...eye- hand coordination is off I suppose...LOL

Deb

Don't ask me to use any electronics other than my computer. Don't ask me to knit, sing, run, or dance.

Lie

I want to sew like Jenni and Flamey and Sandy! I have 2 old sewing machines that are gathering dust. LOL I can sew a square but don't ask me to follow a sewing pattern ... and forget about threading a bobbin. LOL I was traumatized by the old witch of a sewing teacher I had in high school. I actually did make a dress in that class and wore it on my first airplane trip but I was scarred for life.

I can bake anything you want but don't ask me to make pie crust. I haven't got my Mother's touch for making pie crust.

Forget about public speaking of any kind or standing up and talking even in front of a group of friends. My face gets so red, my eyes tear up and my lips swell. Not a pretty sight. LOLOL

Anne

anything that involves patience...

i am also bad at sympathy or empathy in situations that could have been prevented in any way. i have a co-worker going thru a gammut of problems (finance, love etc...) because she's not in the least bit intelligent.

i don't like to clean alot thou when i feel like it, look out lol. because i am detail oriented i can not just clean i have to do a complete, top to bottom job. i also don't sing or play any instruments anymore (knew piano when i was young)... i'm sure if i thought enough i could make quite a list too lol ~ liz

Anne, you and I can hide under a table together.
That was my very first thought when I read this post...

Speaking to anymore than 2-3 people and I want to die.

Trin

I have no artistic ability, either.

I am a poor housekeeper, though I'm getting better as I get older and value it more.

I'm also not a good athlete.

Washing windows

I do not have the patience for crafts.

I can't sing.

I can't make a decent waffle. (the thin kind)

In one word-sing.
Lois

I can paint a room but get paint all over me, the paint brush and the floor. My dh can do it all without a drop of paint on his brush and does a better, faster job than me on top of that. I can faux paint better but when paint is needed,,I look to him.

I want to sing but it ain't there. Even in church it's the thought that counts,,yea I know. I just can't sing very loud, it's obviously not pretty.

Exersize.

It would be unwise to ask me for directions.
I can get lost just going around the block.

I can't keep houseplants alive. The list of other things that I do badly or not at all would be too long to show here.

I should have added that apparently I'm incapable of feeding fish. I once killed off my neighbor's entire tank of tropical fish while they were on vacation. I tried so hard to get the feeding right (too much? too little?), but every morning there were more fish floating on the top. It was horrible.

I also do a very bad job of discarding clothes. I can throw out lots of things, but I find it terribly hard to get rid of clothing. I love to hunt for bargains at thrift stores, and I tried the "one in, one out" rule. But it worked for me only once. Living in an 1850 house with only two tiny closets, I need to get a grip on this situation......

Can't sew neatly - All thumbs.

Can't touch type.

Tell a joke. Always forget the punchline.

Sing, dance, tell a joke, find someplace even with a GPS (I've missed turns with one, more than once). Can't get a date either, let alone KEEP a man-lol.

Gardening! sigh...............
Veggie garden, flower garden....it just doesn't matter!
I'd love to have a large bountiful vegetable garden!
Alas I have a black thumb!

I can't sing-oh I can sing, I'm just horrible
No sense of direction-I can get lost in a building-I can get lost anywhere

Athletics

Math

Keep my mouth shut.

Chisue's "Lie" ...

... is about as short a comment as one can make.

ole joyful

P.S. I'm not much of a housekeeper, either - you'd think that I'd have learned more, by this advanced age!

o j

can't sing, cook, or keep a neat house.

dee in michigan

Oh my gosh, after reading all of your responses I'm realizing just how many things I'm really bad at! LOL

I don't sing, dance or sew...and I don't wish I did anything that I don't do. I don't have time to do the things that I can do. ;)
