Sorry jimbo, Carl already has indecision as a skill.
Besides it is nice to know a bit about you, thought the bit about supporting your wife was nice.

By the Grace of Almighty God, I am what I am. Journeyman ironworker, expert carpet installer and not half bad at tattooing. He gave me any talent I have and if I've done anything in my life to glory in the glory goes to Him.

Okay, now that I've sufficiently collapsed a lung whilst laughing maniacally at reading the responses thus far, I say kudos to all of you and to the rest, keep 'em coming!

Jimmy hit this proverbial nail on the head for me and his elegance at writing it made me want to copy it. I've been blessed with the knack of picking things up quickly & getting pretty good at most anything I put my mind to. Literally, a jack of much, a master at very little.

It was many years ago when I was conducting business at a local bank when it was robbed I realized how easy it was and how low risk it was. It seemed to come natural like, to go in with the confidence and the proper disguise and to know how to address the folks. Once I started I just couldn't stop.

That's why now retired I can be "Thebigspendur" and indulge in this hobby. Now I wouldn't recommend this to others cause you can get caught and do some serious time but once you got it down and you have the natural aptitude for it like me"it ain't nothing".

How am I suppose to follow that. I am very good with my hands. I also have fairly good memory recall, which helps because my reading skills are hampered by dyslexia. I can often pick up skills quickly, and can stick with them long enough to achieve some mastery. I am also pretty good at being content.

My skills...lets see. I've almost mastered grace under pressure, I can DIY most of the stuff that I come across in my house (fixing the garbage disposal, fixing loose doors). I can read body language quite well(which is really helpful to tell when people are BSing me), and I can use tact in many useful situations.
