I'm sure there were other things but, the only one I can think of, at the moment, is playing three beats per stroke on a bass drum pedal. A drummer friend of mine said it was an electronic triggering fluke (because I was using my V-Drums, at the time) but, I thought it might be, too, but, I tried to do it again a few more times and it worked each time I actually tried it but it WOULDN'T work if I wasn't trying to! I guess another would be solving Rubik's Cube. Mastering the Moebius Strip. Solving Instant Insanity. Solving a huge linking ring puzzle in just 5 seconds. Building one of those silver ball clocks without using the instructions. Playing entire 4-hour gigs blindfolded. That'll do for starters.
Thank you! I try. I don't know if I told you the story but, one night I was cooking something to eat and my brother came in from the bar where he usually hangs out. He had a cloth bag with a draw string at the top and asked me if I could solve a puzzle that was in the bag. He said everyone at the bar has been trying to solve it all night. He told them that his brother could probably solve it. He opened the bag, pulled out this long chain of variously shaped metal rings that were all linked together. Probably 16" long and had at least a dozen pieces to it. I took one look at it and had the entire thing apart in about 5 seconds!! I never saw it before or since.
That's so neat! I would always get those kind of things to do, like I have something here I needed to solve with numbers, did it in 3 days, it's been a while that I have done any of these puzzele things. Plus... these challeges are great for someones memory to keep when we're older, found that out after I started to do these challenge things. Somehow my 2 chains I wear around my neck was all scrabbled together and with tiny knots--focused on it, and got it done in short time. I felt proud that I could do that myself, instead of asking, I only ask after trying to do anything myself after a long while.
Even though dad quit school in the 6th grade to join the Air Force, he was still a wizard with crossword puzzles! Sometimes, once he seems to have given up on it for a while, I might try to fill in some of the tougher ones for him, mostly words or terms he'd never heard of before and, I suppose, because he was working from a very old dictionary, couldn't find those words in there!
Back in the `70's, there was this collection of books called, "Mazes". Every day I would try to solve one or two of them. Each one had a time limit of how long it SHOULD take to solve them. 2:00, 3:00 5:00, etc... Of course, the easy ones would come first. Somehow, I figured that I could solve them faster if I started from the end and worked my way to the beginning! It always took me half as long to solve them! Maybe less! Sometimes, I'd do them the right way and it still never took me as long as they suggested. It might take me an extra minute than it normally took me going backwards. I was always pretty good with word searches, too because I could spot quite a few of them just on a casual scan across the grid and, when I got stuck on one I couldn't find, I'd just scan the entire chart from upper left to lower right, line by line looking for the first letter in the word I'm looking for and, when I find one, look at the other 8 letters surrounding it to see if it was the second letter. If it was, see if the rest of the word followed the second letter. If not, scan to the next instance of that first letter and go through that process again. Try some of these. gamesmagazine-online.com/.../ gamesmagazine-online.com/.../ gamesmagazine-online.com/june-2016-the-spiral/ (One of my faves!) gamesmagazine-online.com/.../ gamesmagazine-online.com/.../ gamesmagazine-online.com/.../ gamesmagazine-online.com/january-1-new-years-day/ gamesmagazine-online.com/.../ I couldn't find the one I was mostly looking for: a crossword in the shape of a cube. The magazine these come from is in stores every month and there's usually a cube every couple issues.
me too, I thought it was either joe cocker, john hiatt, someone close to their voices. i know its not the song, sorry is the hardest word. Something else though
Stop chasing/pursuing after women, and letting them damage my self-esteem and self-worth just because I'm not tall enough for them to consider "manly." Giving up all relationships and just putting an end to the impossible pursuit of romance, has freed up a lot of baggage and stress, in my life. Although I admit, it hasn't been easy and sometimes, I still get lonely. But hey, since I can't grow any taller, I just have to keep reminding myself there's nothing I can do about it and women are going to be the way they are and want what they want. Becoming more stoic and meditating has helped me move on quite a bit, as well.
Recentley? Weeding bad people out of my life. I always try to give everyone a chance. Some people there's no hope for; if you keep certain people in your life after a certain point they will drag you down with them. Defining boundaries is paramount in my opinion.
Done for myself? I put myself through college even though I had a good enough job already, but now I am able to have an easier, more comfortable and more enjoyable job that pays more too than before. I did it for myself.
@pers0n I use some of the knowledge that I learned while getting the degree, but more than 2/3 of what I can do, I could do just as well before getting a degree. And some of the things taught from the school I ignore because they are inaccurate and intentional lies.
@HighValue i was teyna tell you that crazy chick on the other post deletes comments and insults you then hides behind the report button and tries to make like you reported her and she also thinks everyone who disagrees with her is ME lol straight schizophrenia type stuff.

I got a job, after I had been jobless for a while, this was 3 years ago. I was able to keep it through he pandemic, as I was able to work from home. We're back in the office though. I get to stay one day at home during the week.
