Talent....I can do that

[CathyCA]

I have a friend who can tie a knot in a cherry stem. She has an abnormally long tongue.

I can do that, too. It was easier to do it before I had my teeth fixed.

I'm good in front of people. Giving presentations and what not. I'm also a good teacher, IMNSHO.

[Ima Facultiwyfe]

I paint. I design and do primitive rug hooking. And I must be pretty good at interior design. The houses we've done have all sold in a heartbeat and folks call frequently for advice. Now, if I could only balance a checkbook and troubleshoot a computer.
Love, Ima

I know a girl who can do it as well...but at the risk of causing a board meltdown I will not name her...nor mention how she might be related to me......

I am NOT touching this one with a ten foot pole. Not in a million years. But thanks for bringing it up Mom...

I can sing, play handbells, play recorder (tenor), and play the piano (not as well as I once could). I can crochet, too, and I can occasionally take a decent picture.

For the other singers, do you sing "al-lay-lu-ya" or "al-leh-lu-ya" for alleluia? All of my previous choir directors have stressed the latter to the point where the former sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. Now, guess which one my current choir director uses? Yes, you guessed it: al-lay-lu-ya.

I can sing and play hand bells. I like to challenge myself with bells by playing 4 in hand, duets, bell trees, and I want to try a solo piece. I have pretty good luck growing things - better with outdoor plants than indoor.

Regarding alleluia - pronunciation depends on the song but usually leh

Already one reference to this in the colchar smoking thread.

In all fairness, it's not a meltdown... it's more like a China syndrome. ;)

I think it's time to add handbells to the alumni pep band!

Knit, play piano, fake it on guitar, sing a lullaby (but not in public), run fast for short distances, run very slowly for long distances, cook Thanksgiving dinner, bake - pies espcially, write plays, direct plays, act in plays. I have written one song just to see if I could. I am unusually good at memorizing text which means I'm very fast at learning lines. I really work at that last one because if I can hang onto that ability, someday I'll get all the old lady parts.

I can do that thing with a cherry stem, I think many of The Lovelies can.

Hmmm, I think a competition at next year's "beachgate" may be in order. Or the next Brunchgate!
