There's something in everyone's life that they're completely unable to do, no matter what kind of training they recieve. So, what stuff can't you do?

I can't:

  • Bake bread without burning it
  • Slice a sandwich with any knife other than a turkey knife
  • Do a layup in basketball
  • "Dribble" a soccer ball

Let's see...

I can't:

-waterski or snowski
-sew
-do math very well at all, I really hate it!
-open bottles that are supposed to be twist off without help
-knit (but I really want to learn)
-eat onions. No matter how hard I try I choke on them. Blech.
-program a vcr to tape something, it doesn't want to work for me ever!

There seems like there should be more, but I can't think of any right now!

Well thank goodness, for a while there, I thought I was the only one who couldn't do math!

HA! My mom says the same thing about me all the time. Anyway I can't...

  • Comprehend math period. I mean, when I was in the 8th grade, I was still on 7th grade level math.
  • Get my bunny to show me affection. She really DOES hate me. :cry:
  • (No surprise here) Sleep without my Rocky.
  • Stand flossing, I don't see how people stand it, IT HURTS!
  • Eat fried eggs with those "whiskers"
  • (No surprise here either) Go a day without M*A*S*H, unless it's the non-Radar seasons.
  • (REALLY no surprise here) Watch Whose Line Is It Anyway, without seeing Kathy Greenwood.

Don't fret it; men will never understand women and women will never understand men, I am so totally convinced of that.

Oh man; water ski, uh -ing is impossible! I never tried snow ski... uh -ing, but I'd imagine it's just as hard.

And for the record; I wish I was good at math, I wish I was a math genius! I just can't do it though; I mean I really cannot comprehend x + y = whatever! Not the user, "Whatever", the uh; whatever.

Ooh, yeah. I forgot I can't do math. My math marks are average, but I always have to work my butt off to understand everything, and they go SO fast. Wow, I guess we at MC are not mathematically inclined.
See, I'm okay at algebra to a point. It's functions and relations, and all that kind of stuff that I can't do. But I can figure out things like car payments or how much interest you will have in your bank account.

Lol! Yes Vic, I agree with you. We can try to understand the opposite sex, but we won't quite make it.

And I can't water-ski either. Well, the last time I tried I was like 9. So yeah, maybe that's why.

Bad Mathletes unite! Or something like that. I never got higher than a "C" in math until I was in college. Then I had this amazing professor who really helped me get through a basic math class and I actually got a "B"! But, it's pretty bad, I use a calculator for everything. It drives my fiance nuts, he's says I'll never get better at it unless I do it!

Math without calculators is like trying to sail without a boat. It's easy for those who can do math to criticize those of us who can't.

Besides math, I can't:
-bench-press my body weight
-afford all the material things I want in this world
-help disliking Muppet Christmas Carol
-install a supposedly simple shelving unit
-go a full week without watching something Muppety
-stick to a budget
-use time effectively
-trust the government, internet sources, etc. (did anyone else find themselves looking for Mars on Saturday?)
