I can never remember how to tie a Windsor knot. I had to go to this page when I was interviewing for jobs. Still takes me about 5 or 6 tries before I get it right
The car battery is stronger than the riding mower tractor battery and if the car is on when charging, it drains the riding mower battery. the car and the tractor must be off.
We learned this when our brand spanking new riding lawn mower was ready for its inaugrual mowing and the battery just was aobut to turn over. As it had been in the warehouse for probably months, unattended. We thought just hooking up the cables car-mower would give it the zip it needed to get going. Five minutes later, the battery was nearly flat. A couple of calls to the place we bought it from cleared eveyrthing up.
That’s about how I know how to tie a tie, only slightly different I think. It’s been a bit. is a girl who likes to wear ties
I did the same thing one time. I still can’t believe how stupid I was. haha. It was salsa, and to this day I cannot even smell salsa without wanting to vomit. The sad thing is, I knew the difference, I just made a mistake.
I ate a bunch of it too and only realized what I had done when I took some to my dad and he tried it. Ick.
I was feeling good until that post.

I don’t want to question you’re experience, but I have jump started a LOT of different types of vehicles, and I have never seen a larger, more powerful battery that is being monitored by the charging system, drain a smaller battery that it is trying to ‘jump’.
Anyone have an explanation for this? Otherwise, I’ll just drop it.
My husband – who is only 27, mind you! – has never used an ATM. He banks at a little local credit union, and always has; his paychecks are directly deposited, he uses his debit card at the store, and if he needs cash or needs to deposit another check, he goes into the bank. (This is mind-boggling to me, because I have never been into an actual branch of my credit union – I went to a supermarket branch to open my account, and since then have done all my banking online or at ATMs.) This is part of the reason we’re still figuring out a good way to work out our joint finances, after nearly 3 years of marriage.
He’s resigned to the fact that he’s going to have to use one someday, and probably sooner rather than later. It’s mostly a “let’s see how long I can go without using one!” thing. But he says I’m going to have to show him how to use one. :smack:
I cannot drive a manual-shift car. I’ve tried to learn, but after what I did one Sunday morning in a plaza parking-lot, my friends are oddly-reluctant to let me learn on their car… 
I cannot snap my fingers. (Isn’t there some genetic thing that determines whether you can do that?)
I had no idea there was more than one way to tie shoes.
I have a hard time thinking in miles. (I was shocked when I saw that the UK still has roadsigns in miles.)
I still am fairly conversant with temperatures in Fahrenheit, mostly because the older members of my family sometimes use it. But gallons? No way. (Partly because the US gallon is not the same as the old Canadian (Imperial) gallon anyways…)
I had no idea until recently that a “thong” was a piece of lingerie. Having never had the oppurtunity to encounter a thong in use, I thought it was just a skimpy bathing suit. I actually included one in my “Squiglitos” CafePress store. (No-one has bought one in the three years it’s been up…) Where I come from, the word “thong” was used in my childhood as a less-frequent synonym for the kind of simple waterproof sandal usually known as a “flip-flop”.
I can’t swim. I like the water, but the last time I took swimming lessons I got one heck of an ear infection, which kind of dissuaded me. Maybe I should try again.
I don’t know about snapping fingers, but I remember hearing that being able to roll your tongue (roll it up like a taco) is a genetic thing. My father can do it, my mother cannot. My sisters and I all can do it.
My sister’s husband cannot; one of their kids can, the other cannot.
My husband can do it, and so can both our kids.
Never heard of the two-bunny-ear system until this thread. Really.
My mother, an extraordinarily intelligent woman with a Master’s Degree and more professional accolades than I can shake a stick at, just can’t wrap her mind around that you need to configure electronic devices prior to use.
Myself, I never learned to drive a stick. I also can’t finger-whistle.
