What are some things that it seems everybody else can do like a breeze, but you cannot?

I have the worst time trying to fold up long sleeved shirts.

I can't braid hair, especially my own when it was long.

I can't whistle, which I'm not sure but I blame on the gaps in my teeth.

I could never blow bubbles in gum, and still can't.

Another one, that trust exercise where you fall back and let someone catch you, my body does not relax like that and would have to be knocked back to do that.

I can't fold clothes perfect either. I also can't iron too well. I will have to add to the list as I think of other things I can't do.

I probably can't either but I wouldn't know because few of our clothes actually need it, the last thing I ironed was my grandmother's drapes a couple years ago.

I can't roll my R's

Can't really whistle or snap my fingers. Think I finally figured out gravy. Maybe. Kinda. Hell it's edible lol

Do you use flour or corn starch? I get better results with flour.

How do you get a ferrocarril in Mexico?


I can't do simple math (don't know my multiplication tables and it is arduous just adding columns of numbers without a calculator.

I am a published writer who doesn't know the alphabet. I can't tell you which letter comes before or after another without mentally reciting a string of letters.

I cannot swallow more than one pill at a time.

However, I can say ferrocarril

Flour, but it just becomes a lumpy sticky mess most of the time. I bake cakes from scratch but gravy kicks my ass lol

I use equal tablespoons of pan drippings and flour per cup of brooth (chicken or beef). Maybe un peu more fat/flour. Mix the roux and then stir in the broth and keep stirring over high heat. No lumps.

I'll have to try those ideas. Thanks guys

Can't whistle or roll my r's either. I can't snap my fingers on my left hand, only my right.

Can you at least tie a knot in a cherry stem with your tongue?

I know some of the times tables but not all, I maintain I am dyslexic when it comes to arithmetic.

I am also one of the one in five women who has trouble with left and right. But if one hold their hand up (or gets sneaky and just looks down at the hands) in front of themselves backs toward one holds the thumbs out one hand says L the other does not. L is your left hand!

I can also roll my r's but I always feel like I am putting on airs to do so.

I can't whistle any more since I got dentures, but I could before then. Although I could never whistle the way the boys did it with 2 fingers in their mouths.My son says thy don't need the fingers then he proves it with ear splitting whistles!

Figure on one tablespoon of flour per cup of liquid (water or milk) put the milk in a jar then add the flour, Put the lid on the jar and shake the hell out of the jar, then add to the drippings in the pan. Presto you too can make gravy, just keep stirring! Add seasonings as needed.

Or do it Alan's way.

My wife uses the jar method too.

Drive a car, fold sheets especially the fitted kind or blow up a balloon.

I gotta do something different because the end results prove my way ain't it lol

I can blow them up but I've NEVER been able to tie the knot in them to keep them inflated.

Me too! I get bored and walk away. So things boil over, burn and get otherwise overdone. Thank heaven for timers and micorwaves and things that have the good sense to shut themselves off by themselves because if they wait for me, fuggeddubuddit.
