Ah, the juglans nigra.. sorry.. and I cannot comment for I've never eaten them, I think. And um, googled it (not that I doubt the info you gave but that's simply a thing I do.. looking up stuff.. ) and found that Juglans is derived from Jovis Glans which means Jupiter's nut or acorn and which² made me laugh a little.. well, it probably means in honour of the chap or something alike and not literally his..

Well..

I don't like ice skating that much now but liked it when I was a kiddo. Never was any good at it though.

The next person is quite handy when it comes to doing little jobs in and around the house.

( :lmao: at Jovis Glans)

Somewhat handy, I guess. Not as much as I'd like to be. Though I guess even more, I'd like to have a handy husband.... but by now, at age 43, I better be handy myself, y'know? *sigh* anyway, I admire people who can do things and make things and fix things with their hands, and I aspire to at least a little of that skill.

The next poster ditto: quite handy when it comes to doing little jobs in and around the house.

No, not really. I was a national merit semifinalist in 1984.... :lol: I'll settle for the non-prestigious accolades for my singing and my cooking.

The next poster has a higher-than-average IQ.

True, I've never used a firearm, and I have no desire to, either.

The next person knows what spanakopita is and enjoys it.

No, afraid not. I'm too old now, and when I was a child, most of the larger trees around my outer-suburban house were native eucalypts, which aren't easily climbed, and which often had stinging caterpillars and bull-ants in them, anyway. When we needed to have trees lopped, professional tree loppers with safety harnesses and ropes would carefully climb up with chainsaws and swear a lot when the caterpillars stung them. :o

The next person has been stung by a caterpillar (ouch!)
