I do believe I am highly impressed with all the talent here on the planet!!
Hmmm let me see...what can I do I can play the guitar I have a very strange ability to remember convocations word by word, along with where people were sitting/wearing/doing, and how they reacted to said conversation…no matter how long ago it took place I can do tricks in a manual wheelchair (spent 5 years in one) Oddly I can remember where everything is in a room and know when something has been moved a hair I can see better in the dark than when lights are on…I’m great to have around when the power goes out I can figure out how to fix just about anything that is mechanical ...even if I’ve never done it before I can sink a basket from ¾ court ...although, I haven’t done that in a few years :eatinghersheybar: |
I am wicked good at parallel parking.

I am adept at actually "listening" to someone when they need me.
I can back anything towable, precisely, quickly, and perfectly! (ie pontoons/boats/campers/firetrucks/etc. Like Kelt, I am an excellent parallel parker! My loyalty to friends is unconditional! My heart won't lie! My "can do & positive attitude is incredible! I have a very high pain tolerance (having had 3 major abd. surgeries, with a pain pump first three days and NOT a single thing afterward...ever)!!! I love with my whole being! |

Hrm.
I can ride my bike for long stretches at a time (The kind with pedals, not a motor). I can teach people how to ride bikes, even adults who swear it's impossible. I can cook kale about 175 different ways, including ways that make people who hate kale turn to lovers of it. I can swallow fire. I can handle a lot of household repair jobs- I just avoid electrical ones. I can speed read. I can speed write. I can do basic math in my head. I do well breaking down big projects into manageable steps. I can teach my dog tricks. (but not the cats) I can find optimism in most all situations. I can defuse drama in many situations (not all) I can handle big groups of kids, usually with patience. |

Can I derail to say what I hope I can do tomorrow?
The challenge: Teaching a cooking class for 25 participants. Demonstration style- I do all the work, talking, educating, cooking, serving. ( I have two assistants to help stir and wash dishes as needed) Goals: Meet class topic of teaching how to make 5 different dinner pies and having them done in time for everyone to watch how they are made and get to eat them too. Challenges. Cooking 5 entrees for 25 people in 2.5 hours, including cooking time. Average bake time range from 25-45 minutes. Also includes making polenta from scratch (one crust), vegan bechamel sauce (to go on mushroom pie), and vegan gravy(to top shepherds pie). Each takes about 20 minutes. Perks: I will have 6 burners, two full size ovens, two arms, two assistants, and a pretty good ability to multi-task. Can I get a "you can do it!" with a promise from me to update tomorrow to see if I can claim that this is something I can actually do? |

No derails here!!!! Let 'er rip. Good luck. Got a feeling you will do just awesome!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!! |

Oh, and for bonus fun, at this cooking school- I'm on camera/projected on TV through the classroom. I kind of really hate that. They put tape on the counters to make me stay in camera view because I used to always sneak off and cook on the side. |

(and as for the cheesecake vs kale comments earlier, while I know that you 1000% support the need to indulge in cheesecake, I also have no doubt that you'd probably find a way to sneak some kale into it if you could!) OK, getting back on track, I can:

DWM: Cheese cake would be new for me, but I've made dark chocolate cherry cashew truffles with a kale infusion/infiltration and damn but they were good. I think that your hands and tongue are both genetics. The computer stuff that I don't get is because of your brilliance. The parking is your careful attention to detail. |

See, I *KNEW* you snuck it into everything!!! |

And, yes, the tongue things are genetic. For example, I can do the tube thing but I do not have the genetics to roll my tongue or to make waves with it. Some people can turn their tongues completely sideways too. Something I can do is: *remember odd trivia at odd moments and never remember what I WANT to remember WHEN I want to remember it *get a Brazilian without crying, whining, whimpering, yelling, screaming, panting like a dog, flinching, or anything else that my waxer used to tell me folks do when they get it done. I breathe. Deeply. *break brand new hard candy (not softened or sucked down) with my teeth *play Pictionary pretty okay *speak with a Minnesota accent pretty decent....I used to do a great Dr. Ruth, but my voice changed in high school and now I can't do it nearly as well *look like a cross between Bjork and Judy Lewis (Clark Gable's daughter). Not many folks can say that! |
Up to 30 for dinner now tonight.
I feel pretty organized and ready but a little overwhelmed! |

I did it! Thank you for the cheers.
It was bloody packed. And the school manager forgot to bring me the baking pans I requested and I had to do a lot of improvising, including making one pie in a paella pan. And there were 5 more people because someone screwed up registrations and there weren't enough seats for everyone at first. BUT my end of things went well and everyone left full and happy and I am so glad it's OVER! :fastdraq: <- Me in the kitchen tonight. |
I can put my feet behind my head:byebye:

I can always get a big Birthday party at work.
I posted this in another thread, but felt it deserved a repeat here. Cause, it's easy and it works and some of you may want to try it.... When it gets a couple of weeks before your birthday, stick up a sign in the lunchroom, or where ever peeps post things at work. Say this.... November 23 is Niki's birthday (well, use your own info of course) Let's celebrate!!! Sign up below for a pot luck and what you will bring... 1. 2. 3. etc Don't forget to bring a small gift!!!! Then put ribbons or balloon stickers all over. If someone mentions it to you, act surprised. "What?" "Who started that?" I did this for about 4 years at the hospital. I got huge birthday parties. No one ever knew i started the list. I've done it this year cause this year i'm working in the office on my BD. Last week the sheet was almost full!!!! We are having left over Thanksgiving treats mostly but someone pencilled in they are bringing a cake!!! I will be so surprised, of course. *giggles |
I can sit flat on the bed, put my hands behind my back and then lean forward and put my head on the bed between my legs. In fact it feels great.
I can wink out of my left eye, and I can wink out of my right eye. But not both eye at the same time - I believe THAT is called closing your eyes, LOL! Smooches, Keri |
But not both eye at the same time. --iamkeri1
yeah, you can do that. and do it in slow motion. wink both eyes in slow motion and it will make you smile. feel the winks. automatic smile. i can chew a bunch of gum at once. i'd have to count to make sure exactly how many. right now i have 8 pieces (dubble bubble). my chihuahua hates for me to pop it. so i don't lol. but i really think i could chew about 20. |
Macele,
You are absolutely right. I tried it and it feels good! Thanks for making me smile. Smooches Keri |
