What random thing do want to learn how to do (and why), but haven't gotten around to learning yet?
For example, I've always wanted to learn how to whistle with two fingers. Why? Because I attend local theatre performances and I want to be able to express my enthusiasm by whistling instead of (only) clapping. (LOL)
I've always wished I knew more about basic car repair, like how to change my own oil, for example.
I can change a flat tire and I know where the windshield washer fluid goes. That's about the extent of my automotive skills. Haha.
I've always wanted to learn programming but have never been able to set aside the time to learn at least one language. Currently I'm trying to learn HTML and CSS, so hopefully I can manage to stick to it this time.
I wish I could learn a new language like French and learm to play the piano, but I am getting old now and have no natural knack for it.
I'll bet you could pick up some French by listening to CD's in your car---or whatever electronic device they're using nowadays.
Here's your first word: Allons-y!
Pronounced: ah-lohn-zee
Meaning: Let's go!
Your wife and kids will laugh!
Not married nor have kids. I used to watch PBS French in Action but hardly learned a thing. I barely have a grip on english lol
You may not be married, but given your Valentine's Day hub, you sure know how to be romantic. Lol.

I've had a hubpage account for some time now and would like to know why I haven't gotten any of my earnings. I set it up through my bank a long time ago and there is no sign of my earnings. Where have my past earnings been going and how do I get them ALL?

Yesterday I updated it by adding a new poll. It has two ad capsules and nothing spammy about it. What gives?
