I can't...

The thread to confess that you suck at something.

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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,

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.
