airann 1 #26 July 17, 2003 Quotecabinet making (already finished a couple of small projects, Mee Too. I have been trying and trying. I did build a deck and a cover for my patio. I think that thing fell down 3 times. I forget my hammer on top of ladder and it hits me in the head or once the shoulder. My cabinets or shelf units crader also or wobble alot. I love to saw stuff. But that is kinda crooked and either too long or two short. I mark the cut point.. Must be something wrong with the skill saw. I burned myself twice today. I wanted to see if the screw was in good - burned. I wanted to change the drill bit, -burned my fingers again. Well, tommrow I am going to hang a new door. And put wup 3 new free standing shelves. How much do you want to bet that wHile I am sitting there sewing away, I get cradered on the head again. I now want to go the welding classes. About those coat hangers... If I am going to do yard art or whatever creative (like a skydiver siloute) I think a more optimal material would be a better choice. I now I think I get all these ideas from Monster Garage. I am totally in love with Jesse James.... Whew... man-o-man... Anyway it looks fun. ~AirAnn~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DYEVOUT 0 #28 July 17, 2003 I would like to learn how to disappear, and rematerialize - anywhere I want, at any time. And have x-ray vision, and no longer need oxygen (unlimited altitude, no need for a plane). And be able to make my enemies explode, and my friends rich. And be able to talk to/listen to animals and plants (not all the time). SSSSSHHHHHHH. . . . . . . They're coming with my medication. I hope it's the nice lady, she tells me stories. I have to go now. ----------------=8^)---------------------- "I think that was the wrong tennis court." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I forgot to put "to learn to fly an airplane and to learn to belly dance" on my list. Maybe we can pursue these activities together. Furthermore, in exchange for helping me improve my skydiving skills, I may be able to help you with learning to speak spanish and latin dance (professional lessons are probably best first). I learned to scuba dive several years back, but I had no one to do it with at the time. I would probably need to learn it all over again, but it would be cool to have a friend to go with. Sounds like you have a great list, Cora! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites VanillaSkyGirl 6 #40 July 17, 2003 The same here...................not doing so is killing me.

Soo....I'm taking belly dancing lessons!!! The lessons start the first Tuesday of September! I signed up for them just a few days ago, actually! Things I want to learn how to do: 1) I want to learn how to pass my next exam 2) I want to learn how to sing (I am tone deaf, though) 3) I want to learn how to sew (I would save so much money by making my own clothes) 4) I want to learn how to be an awesome photographer 5) I want to learn more about Zen There are also many things I want to progress in: 1) ballet 2) running 3) skydiving 4) statisticsThere's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites aero04 0 #44 July 17, 2003 Off the top of my head: Learn to speak German.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Snowbird 0 #45 July 17, 2003 I've always got too many projects on the go and things I want to do/learn. Including... Improve my sewing. I can sew anything basic, and puzzle out things more complicated, but I can't 'take measurements' and sew something to fit. Improve my web designing knowledge. I'm self taught so far, but would love to take a course. One day, when I have 'spare' time. hahahaha! Quilting. Wipe that smirk off your face! Not the kind that our grandma's did, but the kind you see in art shows. See, I paint and draw and silkscreen, but I'm not that good at painting, I draw well but don't find it satisfying, and I love silkscreening but it is MESSY! But when I look at art quilts, I think they combine everything I love about the other mediums. Learn to sit fly! Dancing. Someone else said with a good partner! and I second that. Sadly, my hubby is many things, but a decent dancer he's not. Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A.
