Do you got any geezer skills? You know activities and interest asociated with old people.
I'm 25 years old and I have lots of them. I love cross-stitching, embrodery, patchwork, crocheting and sewing. I also know how to knit but I don't like it.

Miss Sweden of 83 Do you got any geezer skills? You know activities and interest asociated with old people. I'm 25 years old and I have lots of them. I love cross-stitching, embrodery, patchwork, crocheting and sewing. I also know how to knit but I don't like it. Im 34, I can do Crochet, plastic canvas, woodworking, woodburning, calligraphy (both old english and chinese) and my very favorite.. Baking... used to be a Chef, and thanks to learning all that I know from my Grandparents, I can make some REALLY good money with it! LOL

Hand-baking. Pie crusts, breads, cakes and muffins, biscuits. Main dishes, side dishes, desserts of all types. I do it all, and I do it without a recipe, because recipes are for beginners (so sayeth my grandmother, known as Big Mama, in a half-joking way). I do use recipes, mind you, on things I've never made before and don't have anyone to demonstrate for me. A couple of times getting the recipe perfect, and I start to branch out and make alterations so that it's more tailored to my tastes.
My father-in-law loves it when we come to visit, and loves to spend all day cooking for us. I happen to love cooking, but he'd never even let me into the kitchen. That is, until about two years ago at Chanukah. He was overwhelmed with making a feast for a couple dozen people, and decided to put me in charge of making the simplest but most time-consuming dish, the latkes (potato pancakes). I guess I made them to his satisfaction, because after that, he insisted I should make brunch for the part of the crowd that was staying overnight. Ten omelettes, biscuits, and fruit smoothies later (again, easy but time consuming), he had decided that he should come to town to visit us -- and for once, not try to take us out to a restaurant, but actually eat at our place, which I'd been trying to get him to do for years. I made red snapper amandine, Israeli salad, and a really nice cranberry couscous. He pronounced his verdict: "Oh, Divash cooks with love." From then on, he's looked to me as the family chef.
I'll say that's pretty geezer of me. Apparently love trumps recipe, Rachel Ray, and "Bam."

xd I can hold a conversation for longer than 3 seconds. I can also string together a coherent sentence.
I know how to use an encyclopedia AND a dictionary. I do crosswords and I play a mean game of scrabble.
Do those count as geezer skills!??! wink

I can knit and sew. Does being able to use an axe and other such tools count? Because I can do that too.

I do enjoy doing the crossword!
I wish I had skills, but I'm sadly lacking... I am thinking of learning to knit. Not really sure what I'm going to knit - I just fancy trying it.

I'm 22. I can cross stitch, knit, sew, bake, and cook. There's probably more, too, that I can't think of at the moment.

Well, I used to do cross stitch, but it just made me cross, now I crochet but it makes me crotchety, I knit but get my yarn in a tangle, my patchwork is patchy, but I still love to paint!
Ooh, and I do rustle up some mean soups... it's about all you can eat once your teeth fall out biggrin

Counted cross stitch, crochet, I sew reasonably well, and I raise African violets. At least I don't shove Kleenex up my sleeve.
I also play Guitar Hero competently at Medium level.

I can shuffleboard and play bingo like I was only 60 years old!
Just kidding. I'm only 23. XD
I used DOS once upon a time, and know how to use Commodore 64, Atari, and Apple II series computers.
