Free time survey

Last edited Thu Aug 28, 2014, 08:05 PM - Edit history (1)

When you have free time, what is your very most favorite activity ? I'm leaving out sex, just to keep this non-NSFW

Free time = you are not obligated to do anything for a few hours.

or rather, combo..

I spend hours on the computer, watching movies, reading, copying recipes, doing e-mails, listening to music.

housework is so over-rated.

This is what I should have said. I chose surfing the web, but that also would include watching Netflix etc in the evenings, sometimes while doing a craft project. Or working on genealogy records, reading news etc. Sometimes it's mindless wandering, sometimes more focused.

Housework??? Only if someone is coming over!

Especially concur about the over-rated housework!

Depending on weather, time-of-day, and mood; gardening, reading, surfing -- often while listening to music.

I listen to podcasts while I ride. Everybody is always asking me if I do the Seattle to Portland ride, but I have no interest. I ride solo for a reason and really have no interest in group rides.

I used to use the username "The Solitary Cyclist" in other forums.

Supplies me all of the music and videos I like to have going in the background or on the side monitor while reading the news, gaming, arguing on forums or helping people on IRC.

I can't stand phones of any kind especially smart phones, yet I'm almost always the most technically adept person in a given room, yet would rather take a hammer to a tablet then use it.

I don't read much, I used to when I was a kid, it's too easy to put off these days with the constant flow of news online, so I end up getting audio books and listening to them while cooking.
