I cant do...

Oh no.
So sorry to hear that.

I hope the Electric trike works.

A post like that puts things into perspective.

I can't ...persuade anyone to help me do the things I can't do.

I’m a Bloke and could never throw anything straight or run fast or catch a ball or give a toss if I look tidy or a mess

However I do have a pretty good memory and am quite empathetic

Can't knit or crochet, although I have tried and would love to do so. My mother couldn't crochet but was an amazing knitter but still I failed to learn.

Can't sing, can't do anything practical apart from simple cooking following a recipe. Can do a bit of creative writing and can make people laugh with my quick wit and humour. Not a lot to show for 80years plus, but my greatest pride comes from seeing my daughters living their lives as happy and fulfilled women and passing on these atributes to the next generation.

Remember the song

Anything you can do
I can do better
You can do anything
Better than than me
No you can't..Yes l can. etc

Who cares? What anyone can do.
I certainly couldn't care less. The world is full.of BS Artists. Just enjoy your own life.

Open a bottle of bleach!

I can't run, sing in tune !crochet or hang wallpaper

I can't do a cartwheel nor do the splits.
I cannot sail a yacht neither can I play the piano, although my 3 sibllings can.
I cannot crochet or do tatting.

I’m rubbish at maths due to a horrid maths teacher who’d humiliate you if you asked a question.
I have poor hand to eye coordination and struggle with darts , pool, tennis and other ball sports .
I can’t play an instrument.
Can’t dive although I’m a strong swimmer.
Can’t hang wallpaper but I’m good at painting .
Can’t play chess or speak another language. Apart from school French .
I wonder if the things we can’t do , is because we didn’t get a chance to do them. Either when young or if there wasn’t the money or the opportunity to do things .

I don’t remember a time when I couldn’t swim. Butterfly and back crawl were my best but I wanted to dive as good as I could swim. Our school instructor just couldn’t manage it.
Then the girl next door married a PT/ swimming instructor.
He did it in about 3 sessions.

I can’t watch surgical operations, horror films or clear up broken glass.
Make meringues. I’m heavy handed and best at main courses.
Count, or anything mathematical (dyscalculia).
Plan things too far ahead.

Blind pastry very well at all! I had a post about it a few days ago. Thanks for those that offered tips.

Just love all these confessions. How does the world manage without us!!?
I am feeling so much better for reading this thread. I can do a lot of things many ops can't but share fellowship with even more of the can't do's. So invigorating to be part of this CLUB!!

Holly, I’m glad there’s a posh name for not being good with numbers. My teachers just thought I was dim!!

There are a lot of things I can‘t do and I don’t care that I can‘t. I do wish I could cook and play the piano - not at the same time obviously.

These clever grans on here who make amazing crafty things make me feel terribly inadequate 😂
I can just about sew a button on.

I can’t work out my central heating system and not even Hive can sort it properly. Frustrating but at least the weather is warmer so I am not using it much.

Actually, I quite often said to my late dad that I could do more things better than most people. He agreed. So did my mum. Sorry.

I’ve found I can pretty much do anything I turn my hands too.

Sorry, I’ll get my coat 😁

“You’re not alone. 😉
But I can’t play chess, click my fingers, wink, or do that clucking thing with my mouth”

I can do all of those (chess, thanks only to our 5 year old grandson, tbf) and as well as winking, get this, cross each eye independently 😁

My mother used to say (frequently!) "There's no such word as can't. You can if you try".

However, I really cannot stand on the edge of a steep drop. Or climb mountains. It's not as if I haven't tried more than once.
Well, I suppose can't is the wrong word - won't is more appropriate.

Ferry23😄😁

I think im same😅

And any things i cant do i have chosen not to mostly.Except dancing, i used to love a boogie,sadly my knees/legs now wont let me..(osteoarthritis,so possibly too much boogying!) I would like to master crochet though,but cant.Can knit though,and hand sew beautifully.
