I can't...
 
The thread to confess that you suck at something. :nod:

I can't....

...keep a houseplant alive. Outdoor stuff, I'm fine. But give me a houseplant & I'll kill it within 3 months.

...sing. I like to think that I can when singing karaoke drunk, but I can't. Really. It's pretty bad.

...make a pie crust. See "Holiday baking" thread for details.

...run or jog. I can't explain it, really. I just can't. I've been laughed at.

...throw or catch a ball. I mean, I can throw it, but not with any finesse or aim. And catching? I drop everything thrown to me. I actually get excited when my husband tosses me the keys & I don't drop them.

...play any musical instrument. I used to play the flute. Until 7th grade. Then I became a headbanger. The flute didn't work out.

Care to share? :o

What the hell is Nicks pulling out of her mouth in your sig?

golden braid 12-15-2005 10:30 PM

Let's see. Off the top of my head:

I can't sew. If I needed a button sown I would need to pay someone to do it. When I've tried to sew it makes me completely miserable.

I can't french braid. I can't even braid very well. I always wanted my hair french braided as a kid but it never happened.

I can't waterski or windsurf. I've tried a bunch of times and have failed misrabley.

Not sure. Your dick, perhaps?

michelle2677 12-15-2005 10:48 PM

I can't sing or keep a houseplant alive either.

As discussed in the other thread, I can't cook.

According to my husband-I can't drive.

I can't swim. I mean-I can dog paddle, but I can't go underwater without holding my nose (scared of water) so I can't do the "official" correct swim :distress:

hhmmm...what else??I can't roll my R's.

I can't ice skate. And I can't bring myself to drink Diet coke. I'm sure there are more, but that's all I can think of right now.

Lisa1769 12-15-2005 10:49 PM

I can't swim.

skcin 12-15-2005 10:51 PM

I can't roll my R's either! :mad:

Don't know if I can ice skate - never tried.

it's just her hand isn't it?? towards the end she turns it in a funny way and it looks like a string or something, but it's her hand.

or am I missing something???:shrug:

I'm petrified of water also. My husband made me take swim lessons a few years back. I was in a class with little kids, and I'm the one who cried. When she told me to put my face in the water I cried like a little baby. I do not like water in my face.

You're missing his sarcasm. As well as my equally sarcastic reply. :lol:

Me neither. when I wash my face in the shower, instead of sticking my face in the water, I wipe it off with the water that is in my hands. It takes a few applications, :lol: but the job gets done!! I AM terrified of water, but also, I had a deviated septum on my nose. haha...anyway, I couldn't breath out of the right side of my nose, so i never got enough oxygen because it was 90% blocked. I would sleep with my arm thrown over my eyes to pull my nose back on that side so I could breath. (TMI..I know..hhahahah) so anything that prevented me from breathing in the least little bit scared the **** out of me. Since then I have had the surgery to have it fixed, but I still have a fear of not being able to breath. :(

Ewww, that would be scarey, not being able to breathe right.

The hubby and I shower together alot, so he likes to splash water in my face to be mean...I start gasping like I'm drowning or something, and he just laughs.:rolleyes:

Mari 12-16-2005 09:08 AM

- get up early
- blow my nose (just never learned)
- remember names
- tell left from right if I have to say it real quick (it always takes a second) ("no.. I meant the OTHER left!")
- look nice in a picture. Again, the face, too many strange expressions.

wondergirl9847 12-16-2005 12:00 PM

Okay, Mari...

Are you my long lost twin or something? This is me exactly. I can drive, but I hate doing it, and I only have a permit for emergencies.

The Tower 12-16-2005 12:16 PM

I can't..............
 
Burp.

Write the letters "p" and "r" in sequence (like the word "pride").

Watch commercials anymore.

Wash or get one hand wet and leave my other hand dry. I have to have both hands wet and dry both hands with a towel.

Forgive my parents for their neglect.

Sleep with any lights on.

Play any guitar leads- rhythm guitar only, folks.
