What do you wish you knew more about? Mine is computers.

1. Music.

I'm profoundly unmusical, but I think if I knew more about the basics, I'd be able to enjoy it more.

[chouchou]

14. It's a language. Really, it's like learning a language.

You've actually learned a little bit of it, just by interacting with other people.
When a friend calls you on the phone or says something to you in a different room, you recognize their voice.
You don't have to guess who it is, you know them by the sound (overtones) of their voice. Your brain recognizes
the musical language.
99.99 percent of sound is not pure. It's compose of overtones.
When you hear a voice, instrument, noise, you're hearing several notes at a time.
Here's a recipe> Take a cup of C note, add a 1/10 of an E note, a 1/15th of an A note, a 1/23rd of a D note...etc...
mix well, it's the voice of Taylor Swift!
OK..that's a very simplistic thought but, not too weird. That's why you recognize everyday sounds.
You already know some of ..ah..Music..in a way..
Again, a person CAN learn the language of music.
You just need a good teacher to "Get-what's-going-on !

15. I saw a commercial on Youtube of a piano teacher--

claiming that he could teach me 4 chords and I'd be able to play hundreds of songs.
LOL. Maybe it's true?

[chouchou]

16. Oh yes. One problem of learning the musical language is..

..eventually, you pretty much know what's in a song at it's "Structure" even before the first verse is over.

Kinda like "I'm going to climb a....." You KNOW it's probably a ladder or stairs or mountain or..a VERY few things.

Not much guessing there!

2. Women.

[MOMFUDSKI]

4. You will not be figuring out women anytime

soon. We haven’t figured OURSELVES out yet! We only know what we want in the moment. lol for the comment

[Niagara]

19. We're not all the same just as men are not all the same.

Is there anything that I can attempt to answer or help you with, ItsjustMe?

[bucolic_frolic]

3. The future. /nt

[Lunabell]

5. Physics

As it relates to our universe, the possibility of parallel universes, portals and the possibility of some type of life/cognition after physical death.

[Polly Hennessey]

12. Astrophysics, same as Lunabell.

[Solly Mack]

6. Everything.

[Ocelot II]

7. Everything.

The older I get, the more I realize how little I know.

For starters, there's electricity. I know the theory, I even know about Ohm's Law and the difference between amperage and voltage, but I don't really understand how it works, like where do the electrons actually go? I suspect it's a form of magic.

Also water. Why do we need it? And how can two gases combine to become a liquid anyhow?

And what is dirt, and why does it keep appearing in my house for no obvious reason?

And how can a cat shed so much and still be covered with fur? My cat should be bald because all of her fur is in clumps in corners but she's as furry as ever.

8. Playing guitar

Always loved music and know a lot about it but never took up an instrument.

I always had friends that played guitar but it was hard for me to follow because I'm a lefty. I know that didn't stop Jimi Hendrix or Paul McCartney.

[chouchou]

9. Reality in a Multi-Universe.

..and why my bunny-rabbit can't walk like my dog.

[Srkdqltr]

10. DNA. How we are related to one another.

[malthaussen]

11. Everything.

So little time, so much to learn.

13. Surviving split second interdimensional travel plus

finding a sustainable landing place each time.

[BlueKota]

17. Old family recipes

My mother's family had some truly amazing cooks and bakers. Wished I'd ask them to teach me. My Mom was good at cooking some things, but didn't enjoy the process, so she never really taught me. My sister is a really good cook, but we don't have a lot of the family recipes.

Also I'd love to find out more of my grandparents history, as I never got to meet either of my grandfathers. I have never even seen a picture of my Dad's father. Also lost both my grandmothers early, my dad's mom when I was five, and my Mom's when I was 10.

Also I would love to learn more about Ireland and Italy where both sides originated, and to that end the Celtic and Italian languages.

[Diamond_Dog]

18. Everything!

I am really dumb when it comes to modern technology, in particular. But all I need to do is watch one Jeopardy show to realize how many subjects I know practically nothing about!

[Niagara]

20. I'm feeling extremely frustrated over here.

I'm attempting to declutter and organize my stuff. The only thing I'm getting done is shifting my clutter around.


One of my items that I'm trying to openly display is my blanket collection. I tried the roll the blankets up look and display them in a outdoor flower planter that I have. The blankets didn't fit in it. I then took the rolled up blankets and placed them on this vintage ratten foot stool/ plant stand that I have and there isn't enough room for the blankets. I don't want to purchase more items to store them and I don't want to store them in plastic under the bed storage totes.


It's maddening since I clean for other people and one of my cleaning jobs right now is decluttering and organizing their stuff. I've made nice progress for them and they're super happy with the results.


Why can't I do the same for myself?


I'm also currently working on old bed sheets and comforters that I've washed, dried and folded. These will be going to a pet rescue so it's not like I haven't been making any progress for myself. I just feel stuck and frustrated.
