What are you useful in or makes you feel good?

We all have good and bad points, people can think you are good at some things but terrible at others.
All see each other in our own ways. Thats what makes us all individual.
Looking on positive what do you feel you are good at or useful at?
Does that make you feel good about yourself?

Day to day I'm useless really, forget to do the most normal things. Had fires, falls etc
My family and friends do get cross, frustration really. We do laugh about it, through gritted teeth sometimes I think though. I get most people in a pickle after a little while in my company! My husband says !I dont know what, do de da, or thingy your on about!

I had a brain haemorrhage just before I was 29. So life changed.

I like to make things, grow things, kids, I love kids! Whatever the age!
Love family history. That is the strangest thing... I seem to get into that.
Get so much out of it and remember it?
But it does make me feel good.
Well thats mine so ...

I can sympathise with the memory thing. Narcolepsy has stuffed mine up real bad....

I am good at getting straight to the point and cutting through the crap.

That is necessary in the IT business but otherwise it can be a bit of a burden as those who like to cross the tees and dot the eyes can't stand quick decisions.

I have also got four nipples and was declared dead when born and only showed signs of life on the way to the morgue.

I am also good at creeping people out with unecessary facts

What makes me feel useful?

emmm I have not thought about that before.
Do I want to be useful to others?
No not really
Do I want to help others
yes if I can.

One is deferential the other is my choice

I am good at fuelling fires! metophorically speaking
fanning the flames

I would like to think I know right from wrong and do try and be a and fair person
in my day to day life.

As you say Jo we are all different and what works for one
may not work for the other person
You are too good a person! I keep telling you that
take some time out for just you
you deserve it!

I can't think of anything I'm useful at these days , I'm very useless at cooking gardening, do it yourself , I'm not so bad at cleaning, washing and irioning but not thrilled at doing it .

I was useful to mum and dad before they died, so I had better get my thinking cap on and find some useful things to do.

finding stuff on the 1911 census for use all, annie

And Annie helps me with loads on the BCC tree I couldn't do without her

I'm useful to my dog
I make sure all her beds are comfy and that she arrives at the field for her run on time.
I make sure her nails are cut, and her teeth are clean-you get the picture

Thank you Jimmy and Northern Lass for those kind words, you have made me feel more useful.

Annie

I think my other half might find me useful at times, but our cat Tommy finds me useful all the time, well, feeding times.

You know Jimmy, my daughters cat is called Jimmy! Poor thing has had a poorly leg but is getting better

What's the question again?
What are you useful in or makes you feel good?
Well i can iron,i'm pretty good at that.Wearing Girls'frilly dresses are my speciality.
Hmmm what else... i can cook.I've won the cooking competition on here twice!!
What else there must be something else oh yeah i'm a good listener.
I feel good after i've won at tennis or bridge or monopoly or scrabble or three card brag or snap.
