    There is a gal on my facebook... she dates back to my days on xanga and boy can she crochet! She posts pics of the stuff she makes and her work is incredible.

     

    What can you do really, really well?

    Nothing tangible really (unfortunately). =(

    Things I do really well are more on an emotional level.  Like making other's feel comfortable....taking care of others....and of course, mothering.  You know what else I do well?  Relaxing.  Probably too well for my own good.  haha.

    I really wish I was good at something that I can hold up and hear someone say "Wow, you're good at that."  Could you imagine me saying "Don't I make you feel comfortable really well? hmm?"  Haha

    Oh and those talents are written all over my chart...Mars in Cancer and Venus in Virgo among others.  My Leo sun just wishes she had some other talents worthy enough to say "Hey!  Look at me!  Look at me!"  Then Cappy moon will shriek of embarrassment, then run and hide.  Ha.

    I have the ability to sound more knowledgeable on a topic than I really am, because I can pick up on what another person is looking for and the implications of the fact that they're looking for that particular thing very quickly.

    But I don't use it very often these days.

    I've also got a very good memory, and am a quick study, good at rapid research.

    Hmm, I think i can communicate my thoughts and feelings pretty well. On paper, lmao. I can flip some people open like a book if I want to, though it's usually not worth the read.

    Using Write? That's a pretty obscure talent, considering it hasn't been included with Windows since version 3.1.

    Seriously, learn WordPad or Microsoft Word already.

    Kashmiri: You will have to post a video tutorial on plucking your eyebrows. I can NEVER get it right!

     

    My talent? Making people feel loved :) But of course - this is only an exclusive group! :)

    The first thing that comes to mind is making people I care about feel special.

    xglop- I wish I could draw, excellent

    -I made an apple pie, for the first time, on the day of the equinox & found out I made a pretty good apple pie!

    -good at calming down freaked out people

    -I have a really good morse code "fist" -- I transmit it with a WWII Signal Corps J-38 key (uncommon to do nowadays) and I always get compliments- slow though

    Cooking food, planting and growing things, beautifying, decorating. I like making something out of the barest of essentials: converting old to new, useless to useful, ugly to beautiful. I love to find a diamond in the rough and polish it up, bring out its beauty. :)

    Kashmiri, my best friend has Sag rising and she finds money on the ground all the freakin' time.  I'm so jealous.  You Jupiter people!

    As for my talent, I can make you the best damn latte you ever had with a foam flower on top.

    I am damn good at: Making children laugh

    Getting better at:  Using a flat iron

    Utterly lacking talent in:  ??  I believe I show hints of talent in just about everything I try, which is actually quite a talent :)

    I can sing pretty well, though am not in any groups these days.

     I can get to the underlying assumptions of an idea really quickly. Not sure exactly what to do with that talent concretely, but it's something I've always been good at. 

     I'm apparently pretty good too at intuitively finding tweaky spots when giving someone a massage - knowing just where to focus.

    Wow Jilly! This Is Our World Three is incredible! Really.

    Write, sew, quilt, cook.  I'm also very good with decorating and use of color.

    My only problem with all of this is, since I'm a Fire Sun with Fire Rising, I'm much better with creating and coming up with the concept for the finished product than the details.  I get too impatient to see the final result and often end up abandoning them.  That's something I need to work on.

    Computer/internet technology. It all comes incredibly easily to me and for some reason I have no problems navigating and knowing what's what.

    I can not only fix computers and engineer networks, but hard-code websites by hand; I know many programing languages.

    Dunno why - it just is.

    I have a BA in computer systems technology, but I don't want to do it for a living. I like it for my own purposes and applications, and close friends...but seriously need a "No, I will not fix your computer" t-shirt for all the people at work. :/

    chamirose are the artwork pictures on the internet? They have to be uploaded somewhere  first, then you can make them visible here.

    Thanks Tam, that is kind.

    I spin straw into gold.  I list that among the things I am good at on one of my profiles.  I have an uncanny ability to take any set of circumstances and transform it into something good or useful. 

    It's a metaphor see.  :)  I really can spin wool though.  I can do almost any crafty thing there is except I rarely have the time, energy/inspiration and money for supplies all at once.

    I'm exceptional at reading tarot cards. 

    I'm also very modest.

    starting and driving projects/businesses to fruition.  Am good at analyzing people/pieces that are needed to make something go. 

    I'm a hack and almost everthing else.  I can't say that I'm used to failing much.  I do awesome homemade bread now :D but my sewing skills still are at the beginning stage (lack of time) ...

     

    Luci you need a t-shirt that my SO has "I void warranties"  It will stop most from asking for help unless they're desperate :)

    Nice question. I'm usually torturing myself for things I don't do or don't do well.

    I'm a good public speaker. I also write poetry.

    I'm also good at being nuts, but getting away with it

    ummm, drawing on mushrooms is one

    EDIT: I don't mean being on mushrooms, lol

    athenian200

    That's pretty good, actually.

    I'm only talented at eating mushrooms. I'll be checking them now to make sure they don't have anything drawn on them first, though.

    I'm also good at spotting patterns.
