I wish I could paint better. Especially water colors.

I wish I were a better baker. Mom made the best, and biggest muffins. Step-father took 1 to work every day and all the co-workers commented on them. He brought in extras and gave them out. She ended up by having regular orders for her muffins and butter tarts from his work.

I tried making some, using her recipes, but they don't turn out as well for me. Step-father said for me to keep practicing, and when they turn out like hers, I could sell them to his co-workers like she did. Easier said that done, for me. Trouble is, I'm not a dessert/sweets eater, so when I make muffins, and they're just "good enough for us" they are in the freezer a long time before they get eaten up so I can make another batch.

I must be able to think of something else I can do better, though! Give me some time and it will come to me.

Oh, my! I am a jack of all trades, but master of none except growing plants - now, that I can do and do well. Other than that, it's a learn-as-I-go process. So, ya - there are LOTS of things I would like to do better, art/painting is just one of them. I 'paint', but not well.

I wish I were more artistic, I cannot draw at all and wish I could. I can design well, putting a room together is not a problem at all for me.

I also wish I were a better linguist, I would love to have the gift of languages.

Be wiser, more effective, more dedicated ...

... in my efforts to work toward building a better community ... city ... area ... country ... world.

Had a couple of interesting discussions with a few at our `tent-town` in the local park, a week or so ago, prior to their being removed.

(I`m not too enthused about their ``occupy ____`` designation) - in common with hundreds (thousands�) that have sprung up in many cities, worldwide ... which I found quite surprising.

Just ONE thing? Oh, dear, my list is too long!

O.J. -- At least in the US, we have a LOT of un- and under-employed people. DH said early on, "Why aren't they at work?" Well...that's the problem!

I think they should be marching on Washington, DC. Other countries without a meaningful Middle Class have a lot of well-educated, unemployed youth now too.

That's easy: putt

I can "drive for show" but I can't "putt for dough."

I wish I was a better communicator...Im a brilliant listener but i find it very difficult to put my thoughts across.

Wish I could carry on a decent conversation on politics.

I wish I could hear better.

I wish my verbal communication skills were better.

I wish I had a good singing voice. I also wish I knew how to crochet and knit. I do OK at sewing and quilting. My special talent is rocking babies to sleep.

I wish I had better math skills. I hated math in High School & still do...LOL
When it comes to fractions & adding x,y & z, my brain freezes & literally starts to hum.

I wish my social skills were better.

I'm not good at arithmetic (but they tell me that's what calculators are for).

I wish I was a better housekeeper. I'd just rather do something fun than clean.

I'd love to have a nice singing voice. I can carry a tune and hit the right notes, but it just doesn't sound good. I really wish I could sing.

AND care more about cleaning my house.

And so many other things. But there are things I'm pretty darned good at, too, and I'm grateful for those.

I wish I could touch type, and do it with few mistakes.

I wish I could draw. Even my stick people look terrible

I, too, wish I had better social & communication skills.

Ditto Flamingo. Too many fun things to be a diligent housekeeper.

Oddly, the thought popped into my head that I wish I could play pool better. I haven't played in years, but both my daughters were very good at it, and I never understood why I wasn't. Then someone said, "It's all about geometry--it's all in the angles." And I remembered that in high school I had to go to summer school for geometry. :-)

I'm with Susan, I wish my quilting was better....And, I love, love to cook and haven't had too many complaints (or poisonings) but I really wish I cooked better.....
