I'm beginning to be able to laugh at myself a little. :)
And pity my poor real-life friends, who have had to deal with the full blown "Debbie Downer" experience. :P

8. Very cool. He built our house - mostly by himself. |
|
I did design it though. :)
And due to health problems I have, he can pick things up off the floor and I can't. :) (I lost the tongs I was using as a grabber.)

10. This isn't about breastfeeding at the Olive Garden is it? |
|
I'm not equipped to do that. But maybe that's too obvious.
My wife can ask complete strangers to take their clothes off. And they do.

16. My wife can imitate a seagull without anyone knowing where the sound is coming from |
|
Doesn't sound like much, but it's rather amusing to watch people look all over a subway car looking for the bird while she just sits there, looking disinterested.

18. She can sense when I'm seated comfortably and relaxing in my chair |

and that sets off some internal alarm and she then calls me to get up off my butt, ditch the beer, and do something.

he can dig holes, or ditches - man can he dig a nice square ditch - you would think it was done by some kind of machine
he has more stamina for stuff like that - bucking hay or digging. I'm way more dexterous and can engineer better.
I can grunt stuff with strength, but I can't do it all day. He is much better at pacing heavy labor and getting the job done.

22. Speak Seychellois Creo so fast that I can't understand more |
|
than about a quarter of it. When she and her cousin drop into Quebecois French, I can grab about threee-quarters of it. But the words in Creo are so squashed and clipped, I'm utterly lost.
I can read it, though.

27. Bring her on to Connecticut. I can't drive right now because I have |

a broken back, but I'll take ANYONE on at Scrabble.
And I'll be gracious if I lose, too. That has actually happened once. But I don't care who wins, as long as it's a good game.

37. He can play the violin |

also do telephone and electrical wiring, fix the plumbing, do pretty much any kind of mechanical thing around the house.
However, I will love him forever because he got a hornet out of the bathroom this morning. And then replaced the torn screen. :loveya:

I can take the 5th but she can't.
Just kidding. You know what she can do that I know I can't?
Raise a good, proper kid. Put up with me. Unless you're her, you have NO idea what that means. Be subtle. Tolerate Star Trek, et al. Cook seitan. Wear those skinny jeans things.

I'd have to give up the seitan for a while. And grow six inches.
There's an easy way around the other thing, if it ever comes up.
