Mind you, when I was younger it was a way to meet girls so I did it, and some said I was good at it, but I never really enjoyed it or felt the need to do it for pleasure. People thought I was some sort of shy person because EVERYBODY loves dancing, don't they? Not me. Someone once said that musically talented people may find their outlet playing guitar etc. so maybe that's why.

3. Do you remember the chemical formula for table salt? Sodium chloride, NaCl. Natrium=Sodium, hence the Na. Or the substitute, potassium chloride, KCl?Kalium=Potassium, hence the K. Aurum, Au, gold. Argentum, Ag, Silver. Plumbum, Pb, lead. Wolfram, W, tungsten. Stannum, Sn, tin. Yes, stannous flouride=tin fluoride and you brush your teeth with it. I had a really good chemistry teacher.
4. What was the last thing stolen from you by a common hands-on thief? Catalytic converter. We were out of town, wife tuned in to see if all was ok via Arlo. We watched them pull up, get out, and saw it off. It took about two minutes.
