So......what is your other passion......outside of being here......

[a kennedy]

sports for me, weather too, and then the games. What all do you all do to get away from the NEWS.

[Aristus]

1. Reading.

Anything and everything.

I love biography, but give me anything with paper and print, and I'll read it.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

trying out new recipes, volunteering.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

11. Crochet, embroidery, reading.

Lots of reading. Over 100 books a year.

Travel when I can.

Keeping up with friends. I've learned that if I talk with friends very often, it enhances the friendship. My very best friend, a man I've known since we first worked together in 1972, I speak with every single day. Often the conversations are short, but they don't need to be long, because we know what's happening in each other's lives.

13. Up early today to go trout fishing, opening day.

Up late last night researching all the treasures I found at garage sales yesterday. Scored a bunch of antique car parts from the 20s to the 40s. Retired for 16 years now and loving it.

[Solly Mack]

14. Napping.

[NNadir]

15. I read scientific papers, usually environment related papers or nuclear engineering...

...and also history books, usually on subjects related to the 20th century or the American Civil War.

I read massively about all kinds of subjects, something I learned when I understood that if I was bored by anything, it was my own fault.

When she's available and free, I spend time with my wife, just talking.

When they're available, I spend time with my sons.

16. Reading.

Listening to music, whatever I'm in the mood for. Walking at the park. Volunteering for environmental causes. Just being outdoors as much as possible. My dog. Enjoying nature. Travel.

Gardening, international travel, hunting and as the result of all the above my most treasured activity; cooking and eating.

23. Cooking.....Hard To Tell, I Know....

.....from my user name. A little sarcasm there! I especially love to take traditional recipes and make them keto/low carb. Today I made LC cannolis, bagels, bacon-wrapped chicken wings, pizza, & chocolate fat bombs.

Also passionate about nutrition & health. Anything to cheat Big Food & Big Pharma out of their obscene profits. Love reading, especially mysteries. Michael Connelly; I've read nearly all of his Harry Bosch series. Music, all kinds especially blues. My kids, and for REAL passion.....the boyfriend! (blush!)

Pondering the meaning of life

[Phoenix61]

29. Yoga, gardening and working on my house

I've done yoga on and off for about 10 years. Gardening is a new adventure. I've got 5 blueberry bushes, 1 flame grapefruit tree, 1 satsuma orange tree, 1 sand pear tree, 2 pear tomato plants, and 3 banana trees. I talk to them every day.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

30. Fixing stuff....it's a passion.

Satisfaction from bringing something broken back to life. Retired field service engineer and systems designer, so not afraid (or dumb enough) to tackle most anything - so friends call me out on that often. Cars, electronics, washers & dryers, you name it. Last week was a car, a Keurig, and a storm door, LOL.

Mostly for retired or disabled friends that can't afford to call professional service companies - so the smiles on their faces is my reward. Very hard on my depression though, when I can't fix something.

Also enjoy reading about the many, many cultures around the world. Oh, and playing with my granddaughter!.......
