Can Do - Things You're Really Good At!

[Amethyst]

I'm taking NW-Bound up on his challenge in the "Cannot Do" Thread. He said:
" I will wait for someone to start a "Can do" thread, then I will post more."

What are you really good at? No need to be bashful! Anything goes, as long as the moderators will put up with it. Your talent could even be something that others don't recognize.

OK, here is my small list:

Peacemaker.

Always know which colors go with what.

Writing.

Good at simplifying very complex things.
(Tend to complicate simple things, too ).

Writing
Analyzing
Strategizing
Managing money

 

[freebird5825]

Um...at the risk of sounding egotistical ...just about everything I set my mind to learn about and perform. The effort I expend to do things is extensive. I get a real thrill out of mastering new challenges.

I'm really good at making homemade biscuits and gravy

 

[REWahoo]

I'm really good at napping - especially after a big helping of homemade biscuits and gravy...

This thread is useless without pictures.

...and bacon.

Arriving exactly on time, no matter if the destination is 5 or 500 miles away.
Cooking.
Putting.

 

[tuixiu]

I'm an extrovert can meet people easily, throw me in a bar/party/whatever of strangers and I'll know most of 'em within an hour.

Good sense of direction so can usually find my way around, even exiting a subway usually know immediately which way is which.

Me too. I am really good at napping. I frequently enjoy a peaceful and constructive afternoon snooze in my armchair, even though I haven't had homemade biscuits and gravy in quite some time. Martha, you need to move down here.

I didn't discover my one true talent until retirement: keeping the sofa from floating away.

I imagine besides myself, Martha can make good biscuits and gravy too...

OOPS!!! I got mixed up there. Oh well! Must be time for that afternoon snooze...

 

[Purron]

A few things I'm good at:

Keeping finances in order
Public speaking
Socializing fearful kittens
Making chili
Loving that man o' mine

 

[RunningBum]

Anything involving mathematical operations on numbers.

I don't know if I'd say *really* good, but I can do pretty well in just about any sport I set my mind to. Some I don't pick up well right away--skiing was a good example--but once I get the hang of it, it usually goes well for me. Still looking for the consistency in golf though.

 

[Khan]

Taming cats
Cooking
Compost

Used to be: Maintaining mainframe code; math

 

[Amethyst]

While I haven't had to tame any cats (mine were socialized as kittens), certainly have herded my share. Cat-herding falls into the category of "Don't especially enjoy it; nonetheless, very good at it."

A.

Taming cats

 

[FIREd]

I am a perfectionist so I would never say that I am really good at anything. But I am not too bad at a number of things:

Analytical/critical thinking, sciences, giving presentations, speaking several languages, cooking, handling money and investments, history & geography, building stuff, sewing, skiing, remembering stuff, vegetable gardening, and efficient tasking.

 

[happy2bretired]

I used to be good a multi-tasking, but not any more...only one thing at a time for me now. I also used to be good at finding mislaid items for my husband and daughter...but not now. Simple times for simple mind.

 

[audreyh1]

logistics (which I actually hate)
gathering information and applying knowledge
visionary stuff
design

 

[Dreamer]

I'm an extrovert can meet people easily, throw me in a bar/party/whatever of strangers and I'll know most of 'em within an hour.

Good sense of direction so can usually find my way around, even exiting a subway usually know immediately which way is which.

I wish that I were good at both of those, but I am not unfortunately. I don't think that I am really good at anything. I can do alot of things, but would consider my abilities to be average or slightly above..

 

[calmloki]

Handy for getting things down from high places. Know a lot of simple things that make maintaining the larger expenditures in life - houses & cars - fairly inexpensive. Pretty fair at hearing what people are saying and giving them enough room to say it. Economical in expending energy - but efficient and effective. Don't add to stress levels, tend to keep things low key.

 

[CyclingInvestor]

Programming
Bicycle touring and commuting
Money
Reading
Math
Sleeping

 

[Ronstar]

Math, geography, building stuff

 

[Bestwifeever]

Also, fitting maximum number of odd shaped items into a cargo area.

And sewing anything from slipcovers to handbags to lingerie.

What are you really good at?

Absolutely nothing (my DW constantly reminds me of that fact )....
