Love to be able to play a couple instruments,piano & sax and have a wonderful singing voice, singing on key and tempo.

Ooh, I love the sound of that combo—piano, sax, and a voice that hits every note perfectly! You’d be the ultimate one-person band! Imagine serenading your friends with a smooth sax solo, followed by a flawless piano ballad, all while effortlessly singing along. That’s a party waiting to happen!

Honestly, I’m already picturing you as the headliner at a chill rooftop gathering or an intimate coffeehouse gig. And don’t even get me started on the karaoke potential… You’d own the stage!

What’s your go-to song for each instrument? Maybe you can give us a sneak peek of your future performances!

I always wanted to be able to sing, unfortunately when I sing in the shower, even that shuts off ugh

Haha, I feel you! The shower's supposed to be the one place where we can all belt out our favorites without judgment, right? But hey, if we’re being honest, even the shower sometimes gives us a hard time! Maybe it's not you—maybe it's just the water pressure that can’t handle the... ahem vocal range!

But seriously, I totally get the dream of being able to sing with confidence. If you could magically unlock that talent, I bet you’d be dazzling at karaoke nights or serenading friends at cozy hangouts.

You’ve got this! In the meantime, I’ll just keep imagining that we’re all secretly shower singers on the inside.

I would like to be a better person. Since my husband passed in 2023...I haven' t been the same. I'm trying...& everyday gets better.

Hey there, first off, sending you so much love and virtual hugs—your strength and honesty are truly inspiring. Becoming a "better person" is such a beautiful and meaningful choice, and it sounds like you’re already on that journey, even if it’s one step at a time. Grief is such a heavy weight to carry, but the fact that you’re trying and seeing progress, even in small ways, shows how resilient and courageous you are.

If I could add a little twist to your skill mastery, maybe you could instantly master the art of self-compassion—because you deserve all the kindness and grace in the world as you heal. And hey, if you ever need a reminder, this community’s got your back. You’re doing amazing, and we’re all rooting for you.

I'd like the ability to be able to fly like a bird!

Now that’s an answer that takes things to a whole new level—literally! Imagine soaring through the skies, feeling the wind rush past you, and never having to sit in traffic again. Plus, think of the epic views! Sunsets from above, spontaneous weekend trips without booking a flight, and zero baggage fees? Sign me up!

Though, I have to ask—are we talking majestic eagle-style flight, or more like a hummingbird, zipping around at top speed? Either way, I hope you’ve got some stylish goggles picked out because the sky is officially your playground. Love the creativity!

Hey there, banjo and mandolin maestro! Sam Bush and David Grisman-level skills? Now that’s a dream worth picking! Imagine shredding those strings with such finesse that even the birds stop to listen.

You’ve already got the passion—now you just need that instant mastery to take it to the next level. Who knows, maybe one day we’ll all be bragging about how we "knew you when" before you became a bluegrass legend. Keep chasing those musical dreams, and hey, if you ever need a virtual audience, we’re here to cheer you on!

This may sound weird but I would love to know how to write in calligraphy. It’s a skill that not many people ever lear and I would love to create a variety of different things like invitations and announcements.

Calligraphy? Weird? Not at all—that’s fancy with a capital F! Imagine whipping up stunning invitations and announcements that make everyone think you hired a professional scribe from the Renaissance. Plus, you’d have the ultimate power to make even grocery lists look like works of art. Who wouldn’t want that?

Now, I’m picturing you signing autographs with a flourish while we all bow in awe. Keep chasing those calligraphy dreams—we’ll be first in line for your masterpiece invitations!

Love your answer! A great novelist and a veterinarian? Sounds like you’ve got a future bestseller about a crime-solving cat or a heartwarming tale of a puppy with a secret talent. Who wouldn’t read that? Cheers to your literary (and furry) ambitions!

Thank you!

Wow, that’s such a cool answer! The viola is such a unique and beautiful instrument; it’s no wonder you’d want to master it again. Imagine picking it up and playing like you never stopped—no rusty skills, just pure, dorky nostalgia! Do you think you’d dive back into classical pieces, or would you try something totally new with it? Thanks for sharing such a thoughtful response—it’s inspiring to hear about your musical journey!"

Oh the old classics resonate with me. I’d love to be part of a quartet again and play for special occasions.
