  • What's your hidden talent?

    Even at 200 pounds overweight people could marvel that I can bend over and touch my knuckles to the floor without bending my knees.

    I'm flexy!

    Of course, now that I'm only 100 pounds over weight, I can place th3e backs of my hands on the floor without bending my knees!

    Maybe in another 100 pounds, I'll be in Cirque du Soleil as the droopy pretzel woman!

    Cleo...lol...you are so hilarious.

    I guess my talent would have to be that I read extremly fast. I can read about a hundred words a minute. I know I'm a freak. I can read a paperback in about 2 to 3 hours.

    Oh and I can still do the splits, from my drill team days, both ways! I guess I'm flexy too.

        I dont know if it counts.... my hidden talent is apparently the ability to be able to stand in a room with all three of mykids screaming, and not have it register until someone else notices.. then my hearing kicks in, and I am ashamed... but if we are home alone.. hey!! good times!!!

        I can pick apart a quilt pattern in minutes, and am superfast at crosswords. I can remember anything I have said, even years later.. hmmm.. nothing truly amazing. My talents are all boring. urplequ:

            I can read pretty fast too.. doesn't take me long to finish a paperback. I can also block out the kids screaming.
            I'm not flexie though.

            My great talent is I can usually make a jingle or come up with something catchy for things. I'd probably do good in advertising if I weren't to lazy to go to school. :yikes

              I can light a lighter with my toes, balance a spoon on the end of my nose, and catch 25 pennies falling from the tip of my elbow.

              Not all at the same time, of course. THAT would require talent.

              I am also one of the few people who actually knows all the words to the old "There once was a man from Nantucket" limerick.

                  my not so hidden talent is that I play tuba (it's hard to hide a tuba). Really, since I was 12...that's 23 years.

                    I love the Jedi Costume, can you make other star wars costumes. I'd like to be Princess Amidala for Halloween this year, but have no idea how to make a costume.

                      If I find the right patterns and fabric, I could make anything though my next project will take me about 3 years to save up for cuz the overcoat itself is going to be 175.00 in fabric, I think the whole costume will cost me upwords of about 600.00

                      Here's the pic of what I want to do next. It's my "I'm losing weight and I plan to go to Celebrations IV thin and in this." costume. http://www.padawansguide.com/padme/p...e_promo1_m.jpg

                      What outfit were you thinking about going as?
