In the interests of being honest with my readers I'm going to reveal a good list of things I don't know how to do. Some are key life skills I really feel bad for not knowing. Others are just sort of observations I've made. Feel free to suggest other things I don't know.
- Pick out a refrigerator that fits in my kitchen. Apparently one must measure the space before selecting the fridge.
- Hang shelves. I tried once.
- Mix drinks. I can drink them, though! And I did recently get a nice lesson on how not to let ice fly all over the kitchen during the shaking bit.
- Change the oil in any vehicle. But I can find the dealership that changes oil.
- Gut a fish. I can catch a fish. And I know a bit about putting worms on hooks.
- Change a tire. Probably not know this is more of a problem than the oil-changing skill.
- Computer stuff. I know some "computer stuff." I don't know why my start-up disk is almost full OR what to do about it.
- Cut hair. Sometimes I cut my bangs with trepidation.
- Keepy-uppies. I know the process and the theory. I just can't get past two.
- Bunny hop on a bike.
- Make a cheesecake. I know how to find the information and that one needs a springform pan, I think. But there are probably essential baking skills I don't possess.
- How to fly a plane.
- Paint with oils or effectively use pastels. But I'm a fair doodler.
- Play an instrument with any skill. I can pick out songs on the recorder and maybe a few notes on the piano.
- Sing. I mean, I know the words but I can't really sing on my own. Not with actual notes or keys or things like that.
- Prune a tree. I think I killed one, actually, cutting it back at the wrong time.
- Gamble effectively in a casino.
- Tap dance.
- How to eat a lobster. I'm honestly not sure. I can clean a crab. But what's the process with the lobster?
- Install the little brick patio I want to put in my front garden.
- How to crochet.
- Do any kind of cool hair design.
