    I don't understand a lot of financial stuff - like about how people buy houses, mortgages, and terms like "lien" and "escrow" that I hear thrown around. Or some of the more complicated investments. Or how to manage a retirement account (I know, I should do it, but nothing to put there anyway).

    Are you talking about American football?? If so, I'm guessing you weren't raised in Texas.

    How to improvise/solo on any instrument (besides drums). I can play guitar and piano but for the life of me I will probably never figure out how to solo (well) on either.

    It take a lot of creativity and familiarity with the instrument. To get familiar with it where you can just play without really thinking takes practice... creativity smoke a lot of weed. :D

    Wow, you guys are a bunch of weenies....I've built whole room additions, rebuilt engines, build my own computers, and played football. :D

    I guess I read the thread title differently, but....how can I tell you something I have no idea about? I mean, if I don't know it, how can I repeat it here?

    Those were ages ago. I just started using R2K's advice of K.I.S.S. when it comes to computers and taught a lot of it to myself, hence the comment. R2K even mentioned in a thread that I don't start anywhere near the amount of threads I did in the past.
