The dreaded mathematics!  Anything more abstract than add, subtract, multiply and divide just doesn't make sense to me.  At least I am able to successfully balance my checkbook!

I am terrible at remembering jokes.

I don't test or interview well. I get all flustered and babble...even when I think I am well prepared. I always score low on tests too. I feel like a complete idiot in these situations.
That is not how you were when you visited Oxford, England so what happened Diana?

I'm hopeless at algebra, calculus, etc. The only type of math that makes any sense to me is geometry because I am very visual and I can more easily visualize geometric figures as 3-D objects.

I blush at the drop of a hat. It use to happen when I was a teenager, then it got better, but now I've hit 'that' time of life, it's happening again.

I'll go red if a man, any man, speaks to me, or when I have to correct a patient who is filling out paper work. Loads of things make me blush.

I feel like a complete idiot.

Oh I do too Sue!! So badly!!! I'm known for it at work! It's funny because I'll tell myself "don't blush! don't blush!!" and I just blush harder!!

You weren't putting me through the ringer with tests or interviews, Ron! Lol.

I hadn't hit 'The time of life' back then.  And with such handsome men before me (that would be you and Chris) I would have looked like a beetroot.
