We all have jobs, interests, hobbies, passions,
etc. Share with us what you know the most about.
I have two lifelong interests and passions. They
are classical music and antiquarian books. Every
once in a while i think I was born long after my
time.

Well, I am going to have to go with my creative mind. Writing and artwork are my forte. Some of my poems have been published and I'm working on a chapbook that is a compilation of both poetry and poetry.
On a side note... I have a couple of antiquarian books, a very old copy of The Man from La Mancha...pre ISBN days large 8 X 11 white cover, it is boxed away, a copy of Winston Churchill's paintings and a childrens book "Colette and the Baba and Timbuktoo"...

Glory be! I all but forgot about putting this
trait in my description. I guess to share some
like interests that we do you have to have an
imaginative and creative mind.
You would be surprised at what some books might
be worth that you never gave a second thought of.
That is in addition to their personal pricelessness.
Then there are old books that are just that, old.

Thanks. Creativity is really a gift I am thankful for. On a side note, do you mind pricing a couple of books for me? I can send you photos?

Sure funnycole. First send me a private message
with the name & author of each book. Also the
earliest publish date you can find in each book.
Don't worry about the printing date unless you
can't find the publish date. We'll start with that.

Talk about a tough call. I'm pretty good at judging people (particularly in the positive) and seeing talents and potential in them, even if they're not aware of it.

It is noble of you to see the positives and
potentials in people rather than downfalls
and faults most tend to point out. As the
first responder noted "myself" I'm sure you
know yourself really well.

Thank you for the positive words. If one studies or meditates on the basic principles of learning and belief--and once we understand how all of our previous beliefs have been assimilated--there is only one conclusion, that once we begin to have awareness of who we are, then we realize that we can (and do) choose, consciously (and unconsciously) determine for ourselves who we are.

Hmmmm?! That is definitely something I always
wanted to go to school for. Did you acquire this
knowledge from an institution of higher learning
or from hands on experience? LOL
Nice to hear from you ecogal.

Ah my fingernails finally grew back enough
to allow me to type another response to you.
I'm not a master of the craft so I'm sure I
could benefit from your pointers. LOL
The things we write about while LOST isn't
around. Won't be back until late April.

I think I know all about failing, well I am arch Queen of Falire so my life long passion now is strategy and dealing with qonquering all of my weaknesses and trying to fathom the best source of winning without shedding too much blood and tears in the process. My life has been one ongoing struggle so I think I have been plonked into that arena of learning lol.

Failing is some of life's best lessons. As long
as we pay attention. Nothing is harder to forget
or better learned than a successful struggle to
overcome failure.

Wait for this one, it is going to knock your socks off! I used to be a gymnastics's teacher many moons ago until I got too 'old and stiff' to participate. Then I met my husband, and I was thrown into the deep end, doing his bookkeeping, now I'm so good at it you can bring on the IRS, anytime:) I also play the piano reasonably good, not concert material, but my husband enjoys it, and some of my friends. I like to believe that I'm a good listener, and can pick up a lot, from people's emotions. And like you I have exquisite taste, and a good ear when it comes to music!

Hey that's great. Another bonds that binds
us. My sister competed in gymnastics state
and region wide in the Northeast U.S. for
the better part of her preteen and teen life.
Hey that's not fair! You may be beyond the reach
of the tentacles of the IRS but I'm not. Careful
what you say, they monitor every communication in
U.S. borders. I don't want to be forced to deny
knowing you.
I'm jealous. I would to play the piano, better
still a pipe organ ahhh. I took lessons when I
was younger but at that age I knew it all anyway
so there was no reason to continue. I knew that
I could magically pick it up when I was good and
ready to. Yeah right.
No matter your skill level Annie, I'm sure you
and your husband derive plenty of pleasure from
you tickling the ivories.
Listeners are a dying breed. Thank goodness there
are some left to pass on this most exquisite of
art forms.

I would say I know a lot about children's books, because I enjoy reading them and want to write them. And, I know a lot about movies and actors/actresses from the 1940's. I like watching movies from that period, and I read up on the people who played in them.

Wow that's great. I hope you do decide to pursue
writing children's books. I imagine that would be
very rewarding. I must say I also enjoy the actors/
actresses of yesteryear.
I believe it took more talent back then. I also feel
there was a great deal more originality then. So much
of today's cinema is taken from or copied from this
period.

You can't ask for anything more than having
the whole world right at your fingertips.
Even though it hasn't taken hold of me you
watch and see if computer gaming becomes
mainstream when one of the major U.S. networks
decides to broadcast a competition sometime
in the near future.

That's fine whenever you get the time I will
explain why I'm not wrong but so correct. I
was stationed at Subic Bay Naval Base in the
Philippines. It's much more than you think or
anything the other responders posted.

To be honest I think I am what one would call a jack of all trades and master of none lol. I have so many varied interests but at the moment I really enjoy writing and I am learning new skills every day.I think the knowledge I possess is the knoewledge that I don't quite ever know enough and that every day I wake up there is something new to pick up on..

I too immensely enjoy writing. It sets
me free and is bound only by imagination
and/or knowledge. I'm sure you'll agree
that waking every morning with the chance
to learn new things is like writing a new
page in a book.

I know how to write well (Letters, stories...) but in my own language because in other languages I'm still learning their grammar haha
I also know how to listen, I don't know if this is something so special, but I have such a big patient to listen to people and to do some of my favorite things like make all birthday cards or another celebration card with my own hands and ideas, and etc
I know how to work in groups :)
@jumpinjack00 (3054)

Anyone who writes, reads and/or speaks more
than one language is special. Someone who is
a good listener is rare and extra special. To
use your hands and mind creatively means never
growing old. You do have one over me for sure.
I really don't like working with a group so much.
Ugh. lol

I've got a real soft spot for history also. There's
nothing better to educate ourselves with. To learn
from both mistakes and triumphs throughout time.
Having a good knowledge of movies must be quite cool.

Cool combination. The Beatles and the paranormal.
I'm quite sure your other interests are just as
exciting. I'm sure you can carry a wonderful
conversation.
