What is your secret super power?

[pmccarthy]

Everyone has a secret super power. Mine is the ability to sit or lie still for hours. I learned it when I had to sit on a hard pew in church as a child. Ignore discomfort, ignore brain-deadening noises, just remain still. What is yours?

Falling asleep in front of the TV then laying awake all night.

At least you are not wasting valuable  life hours correcting spelling.

[Jerry_Atrick]

My other superpower - being pedantic.. They are not spelling errors - they are typographical errors. 😉

That must be a record for you. Two consecutive  error free posts.

Why do my typographical errors only appear after I have submitted, requiring endless editing.

[nomadpete]

If you find out, please let me know, too.

 

I try to proof read my posts but only see the glating misspellings after clicking SUBMIT.

 

(I never willingly submit to the internet.)

Nope marty, but everything I plant goes brown. I call it brown thumbs as opposed to green ones.

You've proven you CAN do it.

Green thumbs could be Gangrenous  Don't lose your thumb. . A dog's thumb has migrated up the arm so now they have to use their mouth instead to carry anything.   Nev

It's worse than that.

He has an aeroplane that flies.

I'm not sure that I've got any hidden superpower. However, SWMBO often remarks on my ability to heal very quickly from any injury or operation. Plus, I never acquired any childhood diseases - mumps, measles, chicken pox or rubella - even though I was surrounded by these diseases multiple times.

And I wasn't vaccinated for polio in the national school vaccination campaign in 1956, as my parents didn't approve of the Salk vaccine after learning about the Cutter incident with its devastating results. I didn't catch polio, and I didn't actually get a polio shot until I joined the Australian Army at age 20.
