I can break and train horses to ride and drive, but this body is getting a little old for that stuff and I doubt I'll ever do it again.

Cooking, cleaning, toilet plunging, installing tire chains... I discovered several years ago that I was good at firing people. I hated everything about it, though, and I never want to have to do it again. Well, except for some politicians.

CPR, and insert a naso-gastric tube. (Retired nurse, lol.)

I found that I was a good debt collector when I work at a friend's office, but I don't want to listen to" the check is in the mail" anymore.

CPR and teaching school. WHile I'm glad I can do both, I never want to have to use CPR, nor do I miss spending my weeknights grading papers, or my weekends and summers planning curriculum. I enjoy teaching Sunday school for young elementary ages, but that's just once a month. I also enjoy tutoring because it's one-on-one, less prep work, no grading, more money, and a flexible schedule.

I shingled a roof at age 50, and used to help DH with car repair. I never want to do either of those again. I like having clean nails!!

I am certified in the safe management of disruptive and assaultive behavior.

I work with special needs children in an elementary school. I have had to use my training on too many occasions.

Tire changing. But with pneumatic tools not sure I could get the lug nuts off anymore.�� Basket weaving and wicker furniture repair. A wet cold messy job I hope I never need to do again. Hand rolling and dipping and decorate easter eggs. Upholstery. Trashed my hand and unable to tug n pull tight anymore, but wish I could. Strip and restore wood fine furniture. Ugh! Guess that's enough. ��

Spreading mulch every Spring. About 2 years ago I told my husband "no more" and now we have it done professionally. They also do a much better job. Whatever they use makes our plants grow a lot better.
I'm an RN, currently not working but still love having those skills.
