The complete opposite of FIGJAM

Some of you may tire of what you could call FIGJAM with regard to a number of my posts, and I am indeed exceptionally good at quite a few things. But on the other hand, there are many things I'm not good at, and I'm going to list some of them. And that's why this post is titled "The complete opposite of FIGJAM" because I'm NOT good at ...

* Playing musical instruments (and in fact, I've never played any)
* Art (such as painting, drawing, etc.)
* Tweeting (I've never done it)
* Auto mechanics (and some other mechanical skills as well)
* Singing (I know many, many songs but can't sing them worth a lick)
* Cooking (outside of a few simple things)
* Track meet field events (shot put, high jump, pole vault, discus, javelin -- and I've actually tried them all)

* Mechanical drawing and wood shop (by far my worst high-school classes)

... and there are so many occupations I could never have done -- and therefore never remotely considered -- such as welding, tailor, auto racer, circus performer, surgeon, dentist, butcher, plumber, electrician, and others too numerous to mention.


So how about that for a something-different post? Anyone else willing to post "the opposite of FIGJAM"?

Here you go. My FISJAM list:

* Most things mechanical (auto or otherwise)
* Anything more advanced than remedial mathematics
* Cooking anything more complex than spaghetti or mac & cheese
* Sticking to a healthy lifestyle
* Wrestling/grappling
* Now that I've been off the lanes for 8 years or so, bowling.

I found that I even suck at things that used to come easily to me. Once I hit the back side of 65 it seems everything went to hell.
Dear Greg T:

I certainly can understand that. As the new century began, I was taking no pills except for a baby aspirin. Now, two decades later, I'm taking 9 pills in addition to the baby aspirin. The pills (medication) are dealing quite well in serving their purpose(s), but I still have several underlying problems, including diabetes.

I've done my research and most of my issues are being controlled with herbs and supplements. I HATE chemicals. My prostate, cholesterol, tinnitus, and digestive issues are all under control with supplements. I do have to take Amlodipine and Metoprolol for my heart irregularity. And that's a pisser because it keeps my heart rate at 49 to 58 bpm. So, riding a bicycle or attempting anything else that requires exertion is a no no. I hate that. Go to the basement with a load of laundry and have to rest for 10 minutes after.
