    Question What is your Super Power?

    Little Miss is strong willed. A trait that can be good or bad. Hubby always tells her "Use your powers for good, dear girl. Use your powers for good."

    Buddy over heard this one day and Hubby said it was Little Miss's Super power. He goes on to tease and said "Everyone has a Super Powers" and turns to me and asks "What is your super power, Dear?"

    To which I answered "Creativity". Hubby replies with "Oh,an excellent one."

    Hubby challenged Buddy to figure out what his Super power is.

    So I ask you all here, What is your Super power?

    I've been told I'm creative, but the internet has shown me creativity beyond what I could have imagined.

    I do know that when I want something I will get it. Driven? Stubborn? Determined? But I have a low self-motivation drive so that can be handy when I truly want something but I don't always use that power.

    I'd say my greatest power is the ability to work with what I have when I need to. I guess that's where my creativity comes in, too. I have the ability to make meals out of nothing, curtains out of bed sheets, rearrange items through the house for other uses, etc.

    I think the reason I'm in so much debt is because I don't use my power to get myself out of it. I just sit around and complain instead. Powers aren't very valuable unless you use them.

    I've been told perseverance, and I can plan anything. Just give me a goal and I'll figure it out. I've also been told I'm creative, but I'm with krbshappy71, I've seen way more creativity on the Net than I've ever dreamed of! I've also been told I'm a natural born listener and encourager. Hmmm...I just empathize really well with people I think. Too well at times.

    Hubby has the leftover to delicious super power.

    I can often make something out of nothing. MacGyver had nothing on me!

    Mechanical aptitude. My ability to fix broken things, invent new things, and tweak existing things so they work better has saved us countless thousands of dollars. I should have been an engineer working in R&D.
