from Julia :)
We are all experts in something.
Even if we think that no one will ever need our expertise, or be interested in the subject we know a lot about... that's most likely not true.
Even if our knowledge seems insignificant, it's pretty much a given that lots of other people don't know the same stuff. So why not share that knowledge, or at least celebrate that we have it?
Below is a list of things that I know something, or a lot, about. And I'd like to know about your fields of expertise, too. So please re-post your fields of knowledge and list them for the world to see!
A word of caution: only post topics that you don't mind people actually asking you about. Because it just might happen. And we just might be able to help each other out!
You can ask me about:
music - theory, history, band instruments, 'music world' customs, classical music, folk music, alternative music, rock music
beading and jewelry
card games - hearts, spades, euchre, cribbage, blackjack, solitaire, lots more
board games - backgammon, Arkham Horror ;), Monopoly (i still have some of those rents memorized - crazy!), lots more
NPR programs and voices
the difference between a first cousin, second cousin, and first cousin once removed
spelling
grammar
gardening
houseplants
cats
math (although i feel like i'm losing this)
Lincoln-Douglas debate
baseball/softball
ultimate frizbee
Christian dogma and practices, Catholic and Presbyterian in particular
beer
mixed drinks
wine
tea
coffee
camping
starting/building a fire
Dr. Mario
how to make photocopies or remove jams in the machine
certain musicals
Don't bother asking me about:
other sports
history, especially in terms of specific dates
languages
science
estimating
pop music, rap, country music (ever notice that rap is the only one without "music" after it?)
comic books
home repair
how to change a car's oil
D&D and the like
computer games where you shoot people
how do things work - cars, radios, computers - they amaze me!
economics
law
horror movies, gory movies
star trek
sewing (i can do a pretty bad hem and a button, that's it)
knitting, crocheting
sci fi (although this is getting better - it's Rob's fault)
computer programming
lots of other stuff that i can't think of because i don't know it well enough or don't think about it often.
Anything else? Just ask!
