lizzy16 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 My eyebrows. The hair at the ends of my brows grow straight up and then curl a little bit, rather than growing sideways like the rest, so I have little curved points at the ends. My dad calls them "pixies" and my hubby loves them. He was so disappointed when they didn't get passed on to any of our children.where my eyebrow stops near my nose my hair does that too!!if that makes sense. Quote
mightynancy Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 I'm super resourceful - I can make something from nothing. Alas, I'm all style and no substance. Quote

bcguy Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Not only my aptitude, but just about anything that is made I can also be a goof and make people laugh with my one liners. Binni, do you floss a couple times a day? Quote
bcguy Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Iggy, Heck, folding cloths is nothing, how about folding t-shirts or underwear and use a ruler to make sure all of them are perfectly square and perfect dimension when folded. That is what we had to do in the military :) Quote
Dravin Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Nancy MacGyver?Actually I was thinking that according to LDS theology that makes her more powerful than deity. With that as a comparison MacGyver is downplaying things. :) Quote

That is what we had to do in the military :) Had to do that for my ex husband, also iron his sheets & pillow cases and make the bed up with clean sheets every day. Didn't do the sheets & cases- told him to buy two or three more sets and I will change them every third day. As for his knickers- I would fold them while I was watching TV- his socks I would pair up and then tie them together into a knot. He even wanted me to iron his polo shirts, and knitted long sleeve shirts. I did the sleeves, collars and on his button downs, did the seams, buttons & button holes too. He wore them snug, so his body heat took care of the wrinkles if there were any. I got them off the line, or out of the dryer before the wrinkles were set. When I was in high school, for extra money I would iron my Uncles police uniforms. I also replaced the missing buttons, repaired the fraying collars and cuffs (well Grandma did the collars/cuffs - it was her son- but she let me keep the money). Thankfully Uncle wasn't so anal that he had to have his undershirts ironed! Quote
Blackmarch Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Thought it would be interesting for us to know things that make each other unique. What makes me unique is the fact that I can be around someone for about 5 minutes and take on some of that person's personality.I was able to pull off a 5 move checkmate last sunday Quote
jayanna Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Congrats blackmarch! I am an INTJ (myers-briggs), and a woman, which, evidently is very rare. Team that with LDS and that is like .02% of the population. (We had an enrichment activity about the Keirsey book this month) Quote

slamjet Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 I don't know how unique this is, but I was Mr. Mom to five kids, from their infant-hood up, for six years. I even braved taking them all to Costco by myself many times. Quote
Backroads Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 NOT COSTCO!!!! All those aisles to run up and down.... Quote
Backroads Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 I was part of a very slight number of females to participate in a Camp Bartlett staff secret ritual dominated by males. Quote
slamjet Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 NOT COSTCO!!!! All those aisles to run up and down....Actually I used two carts. One cart had the baby twins in the basket in their infant car seats. The older twins (more like 4 years old) were in the side-by-side seats and the oldest (around 7 years old) was tailing along, helping push while I pushed the kids basket and I dragged the second cart with all the products in it.Yes, I got lots and lots of stares and ladies saying "I just HAVE to see your kids" to which I'd say to myself "no you don't." You will notice that parents with twins learn to not make eye contact with anyone for fear of gawkers wanting to talk to them, give them advice, and the ubiquitous "I wish I had twins." To which the answer is "If you wish you had twins, you deserve to have them." Quote

I just gave them strange looks. Quote

I would of handed him the iron and told him to have a blast. I'm not sure my wife even knows how to iron. Edited February 24, 2011 by mnn727 Quote
