Now when it is getting hot outside it is nice to be outside doing something. I have a summer project; To get finished with my old american car. Alot of work left, But fun with it is done! [Warmedal]
I hate being outside-LOL I hope you get done with your car. Its always nice when things are done. [dangnabit67]


What I like to do when I am not on the computer is to: clean, watch t.v., gardening, playing with my kids or just kick back and relaxing with a good book. [barbiegirl13]
You find cleaning fun? Dang girl you need some help-LOL I wish my kids were little again we use to do fun stuff-but I'm not starting over again with a baby-LOL [dangnabit67]



If the weather is nice I go to a local park and just sit and enjoy the flowers that are starting to show their lovely heads, listen to the birds etc. Look around at all the beauty that God has given us. Sometimes I just take a slow walk around the neighborhood for some much needed exercise. The library is also a place I visit. [sherlock27]
Your ideas sound tranquil and very relaxing. Some good stress relievers for sure. [dangnabit67]


I get bored when I go out because I don't do the things I use to I feel better being on the internet. I use to go out a lot, but since I have gotten older I don't go a lot of places. I wish I had of found Mylot 2 years ago. I am having so much fun here I wouldn't trade it for the world. good Therapy too. I write a lot of my feelings down right here, and that is good to right your feelings down, this Senior told me this yrs, ago and she is right. [marciascott]
Yes I have found some discussions to talk about-it is fun-LOL [dangnabit67]



I basically do a lot. Mostly I watch T.V. and I also do a marathon of DVDs. I also read a lot and write on a journal. In my spare time, I would always take a power nap because it is best to catch up on lost sleep when I have to pull off an all nighter for a school project or something like that. [gcrew931]
A nap does sound good right now-LOL Not sure it would be fun though happy I guess Ive gotten bored with the same ole stuff and looking for something more exciting. I never found school fun although I did like going to college-I'd like to go again someday. [dangnabit67]


I like to go outdoors and hike and do photography. Also, I do a lot of artwork and crafts when I'm off the computer. I also catch up to TV shows that I've recorded or I read a book. But, mostly, I go out and get some exercise. I go through time periods where I'm on the computer all day for a while, then I go out and do things other than being on the computer more for a while after that. [desertdarlene]
I wish I had a way to record my shows in the evenings as I work nights. That would be nice. Especially since I miss American Idol. I'll have to find a way to do that. [dangnabit67]


During my days off, I really love to spend much time with my dear sweetheart. We would stay at home or go out. When we go out, we usually go to movie houses, music lounges, parks, etc. [nengs10]
I'd love to spend time with my sweetheart. We work differnt hours so its hard to meet in the middle. [dangnabit67]


In truth, computer is an important part in my life, I use computer to do my job, and also use computer to fun myself. But I am not always live with computer. When there is no computer around me, I like playing with my friends. We can make a party in one friend's house, chatting with other people in the party. Or if we have free time, we will go out to fishing, walking, doing something we are all interested in. [lovablebee]
I use the computer alot my self. I find the computer more entertaining. [dangnabit67]


I like to go for walks outside with my 4 year old daughter and we talk abou the things we see. I like to take my kids swimming and watch my son do Tae Kwon Do and I like to read and watch tv I like to do alot of things. [luvstochat]
Kids grow up so fast. Enjoy it while you can. [dangnabit67]


I try to get out but I'm one of those people who can't stand the heat. But I'm also one of those people that sometimes likes to clean so I guess you shouldn't listen to me. lol. Other than cleaning though I like gardening to an extent and taking walks. [k1tten]
I'm with you on the heat issue. I'm not the outdoors type as I sunburn easily. You find cleaning fun? geez louise LOL [dangnabit67]


yes, i usually hang out with my friends and would go to malls or either amusement parks [rhane7315]
I guess it would be better in pairs happy [dangnabit67]


sleeping... i really love sleeeping... but when i'm awake i'll run to my computer and open my friendster... [ckimkimkim]
Sleeping is good not sure how fun it is happy [dangnabit67]


No I do not go out and have fun on my own, and you know what, I should do!! You cannot rely on others to have fun with you and this is what I do, wait for my hubby to be off work or the kids to be off school and I should not, I should just take myself off and have some fun on my own!! [gemini_rose]
Someday I'll win the lottery (one of my dreams) and I will have to surprise you happy [dangnabit67]


i usually play a lot of basketball or badminton. most of the time though, i jog. nothing beats being healthy by being physically active. sometimes, i go to a nearby park and catch up on my reading. [allen0187]
Oh reading outside sounds so peaceful and something differnt and still getting out for fresh air. [dangnabit67]


i stay at home, if no pc, then im on a psp game trying to finish such a lousy game my brother got for me cause i dont like RPGs and stuffs. if i can't handle the heat at home... then i'd go for a walk and wish to have fresh air awaiting me in my sweet "personal" moment. [chiyosan]
I use to play tetris alot but dont have the game or the system any more. Another type of game I like is stragery where you build things up to take over territory. My hubby keeps thinking we need to get new Game Systems so the old ones got sold. I havent found any games like that since. [dangnabit67]


I normally play video games or watch my favorite TV sitcoms such as Gossip Girl, The Simple Life,The Fifth Wheel... [DiorelleBabe]
I dont know since Charmed is nothing but re-runs I find it hard to watch much during the day. [dangnabit67]


im a home body, i like staying home. i play with my dogs, i watch tv like animal planet, discovery channel, national geographic, discovery travel and living & etc. tinker around the computer for a while. but there are times that i feel like i have to get out of the house. its probably because i would feel trapped being in the house all the time and i would feel like im being choked if i stay in the house too long. lol. so no matter what time i have to have to have to get out of there, even if it is 12 midnight. hahaha... so its a 50/50 situation. no more like 70/30.. 70% stay at home and 30% go out. i probably also feel that i have outgrown the days of 'going out' and party all night. if i really had to go out at night i would just go to a 24hr store/gas station and sit there with friends and talk or in a 24hr coffee shop. [katbalu102]
Ah to have someone to do something with. I'll work on that. [dangnabit67]


When I am not on the computer, I usually go to the movie theatre to watch some movies with my boyfriend or friends. After that, we go at the Karaoke bar to sing. hehehe [jesbellaine]
Dang you do live far away. I bet we would have fun [dangnabit67]


As of now, i'm a bum waiting for graduation from college. when i'm not in front of my laptop, i go out with my friends for nightouts or simply hanging out. I also like playing recreational sports like badminton and tennis, with friends and my parents. I go to the mall at times too, for shopping, relaxation and pampering, when i'm particularly feeling jittery at home. And when I'm in the mood, i clean my room til it sparkles in cleanliness! [underthesun21]
Again friends. I guess I need some. What is up with cleaning---YUCK. LOL [dangnabit67]


I Shop, Clean, Walk, Collect Stamps, Coins, Sports Cards, Records, Electronic Gear I have Fun with in the House and in the Car. I can do some basic Work under the Hood of the Car. I am Good with Tools & I can do many Household Repairs. I watch some Adult Movies on Tape or Dvd as I have a Huge Collection. I am a Bad Boy & Lovin it. :-) [mrgpk66]
You were very lucky to have a dad show you stuff. Sounds like you learned alot from him. [dangnabit67]


What do I do for FUN?? Workout, bike ride, have bonfires, write, paint, draw, sew, garden, watch movies, write to the bf, hang with my kids if its on a weekend..watch tv with my hubby when he's home and so on.. [Ravenladyj]
LOL I guess I'm a push over. My hubby usually rules the remote-and the stuff he watches ughhhhh. We rarely watch tv together. [dangnabit67]


When I'm bored or need something to do, I go to the barn. Riding or just being around horses makes me feel happy and content, and it's sure not boring! [artexpressionz1001]
I wish I had horses. I went riding when a teenager-it is an awesome feeling. How do I get a horse? dang nab it. I love this idea. [dangnabit67]


I'm like to go outdoors and do some physical exercises.for instance climbing ,walking,and running.sometimes I sit down to watch TV and read a book. I think it's really good for us who are always siting in front a computer. we can relax our eyes,and breathe the fresh air. [midautumn]
I went to get tags on my car today. Took about 3 hours. Its nice having something to do. Not saying it was fun but I did enjoy the music and treating myself to dinner. [dangnabit67]


yeah! I play with my pets, read, paint, go shopping (sometimes), listen music, sleep in the grass at 4 pm... :) [Cuimrhcp]
I do have six new puppies-anyone need one? free to good home happy Although they need a good bath. Very hard to get a dog to sit still-but something to do. And I imagine it would be some what fun as I know we would all get wet-lol I use to paint got bored with it. It seems whatever hobby I pick up I get bored with it after a few months. And finding another hobby is the challenge. Sleeping in the grass sounds awesome except for the ticks and chigers-LOL [dangnabit67]


i watch my favorite shows like robot chicken, csi, law & order,etc. [Cocoa33]
One of these days I need to get the satillite where you can record shows. Right now it costs too much. There are many shows at night I cant watch because of working nights. So if I record them it would give me something to watch during the day. [dangnabit67]


i like to play shooting pool [GoSaintsNo1]
Are you close to branson missouri? w00t [dangnabit67]


There is so much to do! Cooking, gardening, playing around with my 3 dogs, singing karaoke, watching movie etc. I don't mind staying at home all the time, but I also like to see friends and family for other events :) [popocan]
Yeah the family I have isnt close so we usually get together for funerals-not fun. Nice ideas. Thank you. [dangnabit67]


I usually spend some time with my friends and family. [tripathiamit]
I have my sick parents. Thats about it. And spending time with them is watching the discovery channel-ugh. Friends-just a few-and we all work. [dangnabit67]


I love nature and photography so i pack up the 2 little one and we go out for a walk, we have alot of nice trails in the area that are just beautiful this time of year and I take pictures while we are out and about. [traengle]
I used to be able to do that with my kids. Now they are older and I hate going by myself. [dangnabit67]


if i have a day off i love to go to the park and spend hours sitting on the bench observing everyone. I often go to the library and read all the newspapers. Sometimes i go for movies on weekend or eat outside. ~pinks~ [itsmepinky]
This is something practicle and yet would be able to do by myself. Thank you Pinks. [dangnabit67]


For me, I'll make it simple. Bring my travel suitcases and take some necessity, go to a place where you want to go all the time. If your holiday is short, you could find a garden or a park nearby, appreciate the Spring scences,lie on a plot of grass and breathe the natural scent that sent by neighborhood. That's so comfortable! [wilyfox]
Not sure where I would go on a short trip by myself. But it does sound like fun. Thank you. [dangnabit67]


hi dangnabit67, i usually play guitar or sing in a videoke.. i could also marathon watch or just sleep or travel or go to one of my friend's houese... taking life funny, digerati [digerati]
Sounds like fun. Thank you for the ideas. [dangnabit67]


I go horseback riding, garden, read books, hang out wiht my family, swim, play with my dog, go for walks, go shopping (its only fun if i can spend someone elses money and i dont have to buy clothes). I like doing things with other people when i go stir crazy. [saundyl]
I go stir crazy alot but not anyone to do things with. So I work 2 jobs to keep me busy. [dangnabit67]


I enjoy going out and lazing in the garden but i also love playing with my two dogs or going out with friends :) x [ag6390]
I have 6 puppies-but they stink and it is too hard for me to give them all baths. Sigh. Thanks for the idea. [dangnabit67]

i'm funned babysit my two year old baby. you wont be bored when she is awake, she is very funny and attentive while she begin to develop talking ability. [patzel88]
