I got this idea from a community not to be named.

What are your special skills/abilities/habits/actions/talents?

I've got:
- The ability to fairly accurately gauge a good container for a given contents. Like, finding just the right size and shape of container for leftover rice, or luggage appropriate for the trip. On the other hand, I am completely unable to estimate time elapsed, or bring the right shoes to a vacation!

- I am unable to form habits. That can be good or bad - on one hand, quitting smoking and drinking was no problem, I just stopped one day and didn't want any more. On the other, I constantly forget to take daily pills, or take them at the right time. Joining anything is just not an option, guarantees that I will not complete a series.

- I have also recently rediscovered my talent to purchase and sell cars. Even the one time I thought I didn't get as good a deal as I could have, the friend that I helped still has this car, it's not in great condition but he loves it and won't get rid of it!

слуууушай, а где ты машины находишь? ну помимо списка им. крейга.
я родителям давно уже ищу, но поскольку я со скрипом разбираюсь в вопросе, то все никак

You might not want me involved, considering the fact that the car I am describing above belongs to Fedtsov. He knew that he wanted a '96 Jetta and wanted to buy it from a dealership to get financing and warranty. We just went to all the VW dealerships in the area, found a car that fit his requirements and I negotiated with the dealer. In retrospect, I could think of a few other negotiating tactics I could have tried, but he was happy with the terms.

However, if you tell me what your parents would like from a car, I could recommend what make and model I think might be a good fit. I, personally, would rather not buy from CL, if the other sellers are at all like me. I mean, I was maximally honest, but even then I chose not to tell them things like "this car has been to Burning Man" and such. There are other places to buy a car, like from an auction or other car sales websites, it all depends on how much you want to spend for the piece of mind that the car is OK.

+1

- I am unable to form habits.
+1, легко от всего отказываюсь )

Еще навыки:
- при том, что я ненавижу готовить, могу состряпать внезапное вкусное блюдо из не самых сочетаемых ингредиентов.

- я легко запоминаю какие-то цифры и номера, если надо.

- легко нахожу общий язык с незнакомыми людьми

- умею устраивать праздники )
