that is a very useful talent!!

after my sweden trip in 07 where I happily lived out of one suitcase for 4 weeks, I came home and pruned my wardrobe to about that amount of clothes, and I don't miss all the other things!

lol I was taught by two of my closest friends, they were backpacking the world (literally) and we happened to be travelling in Melbourne together in 2003 and they saw my backpack and were like ' ...let us give you a hand with that'

Natisse said:

I've switched to suitcase with wheels, I had to walk several km to get to a youth hostel with my backpack in 1992, which had everything I thought I would need for 10 weeks away, and it nearly killed me

Girls/women
English
Getting along with different people
Humor/jokes
I try to find out whatever backround information I can about the music I listen to. Stories behind the songs, the musicians on the records, reasons for line-up changes and so forth. Nowadays, I know, and remember, quite a lot of stuff

(... also, I'm apparently pretty good at oral sex too )

Sarcasism
Organizing
Wrangling teenagers
Dancing
Picking gifts

change a tire
paint (walls, trim, furniture, that kind of thing)
throw together a nice meal, especially breakfast
bake killer brownies
iron
be stylish in both home and fashion on a very limited budget
my job (which would bore you to death for me to explain, but I'm awesome at it)
travel
find my way around in a new city (I have an awesome sense of direction)
work my way to the front in a crowded show without pissing anyone off (OK, maybe a couple of people, but REAL minimum)
meet rock stars ( )

Math: I can add, subtract, multiply and divide in my head
Taxes

1) Most facets of being an accountant/finance mgr. I still mostly stink at dealing with the HR aspects of my job, but otherwise I know what I'm doing. I think.
2) Pretty good entry level knowledge of economics upon which I would very much like to build. That's not really 'doing' anything, but I'm including it because I swear I cannot think of anything else.

I did not bother doing a list of things I cannot do. If I did, math would be on there for sure.

shanti0608 said:

the best i am at math is guesstimating the cost of things.

Play musical instruments.
Write and produce music.
Pray -- though, it's easier than commonly thought.

Talk with people of all sorts.
Stuff.
