Had this conversation with my brother the other day. He asked me when was the last time I saw my chiropractor. I said it was several years ago, the last time I played softball. He said “you always hurt your back when you played, and you weren’t even good at it. Why did you even bother?”
It was true. I wasn’t good, but I liked playing. Also, he hurt my feelings by pointing out that I wasn’t good at it. :-)

@janbb – What song is most requested?

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@chyna -Your brother sounds like my brother. XD
I have a chiro named Dr. Handsome. I see him every week at his office, not just in my dreams.
my friend’s words, not mine ha ha

Ahhh…we were enthralled for hours

@ucme- I haven’t played that in years.
I once thought of making my hub a chess set.I could get beat by him and critique my work at the same time!

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille That would work!
I don’t play often & am certainly no expert, but I know what moves where, no tactics or anything lol

@ucme I’d have to take a refresher course or rely on my razor sharp memory.
Adam Ant earworm. I can hardly concentrate

Dancing and singing! Terrible.

janbb's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille They ask me to sing “Far Away from Here”.

@janbb Ha ha!
“Stop That!” is one of my most requested tunes.

Soccer. I mostly played defense. All I did was clear the ball. I never scored. Was fun. I have two silver (pewter) medals in under 14 soccer.

@lucillelucillelucille If you’re as personable in RL as here, we’d pack the room, even if we stink haha!

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@KNOWITALL Haha! Thanks! I am even worse in RL.

KNOWITALL's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille haha, great! I fell over backwards on a packed dance floor before, that’s how bad I am. So it’d be a show, for sure.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@KNOWITALL -I haven’t done that but my friend has and spun back on to the floor like he meant it helpful tip, right there

I enjoy weaving. I spent a whole year weaving a 2 foot by 4 foot square in grade 5 – 6. Got a negative 6,500% grade for being a year late.

RedDeerGuy1's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille It was fun. I will look for the loom on Amazon and will continue again.

Demosthenes's avatar

Playing the piano. I’m competent enough that I don’t just mash the keyboard aimlessly but I’ve never had any real talent. I still enjoy playing simple pieces for fun, though.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@Demosthenes -At least you can do that. It’s more than I can claim

Eating.

Even though I have lots of experience doing it, I still occasionally bite my tongue, the insides of my cheeks, and various utensils; spill liquids, drop solids, accidentally chomp cherry pits, and misdirect stuff to my trachea.

But with my will of guacamole and my stomach of iron, I’ll NEVER give up…unless I ever need a Heimlich…. then I might consider an all-liquid diet until I graduate from a remedial eating class. ;-p

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@Brian1946 I admire that strength of will!
