Question ? What are your Hobbies ?




Hi Member's,
Please post your hobbies `OK... You may find other member's that have the same or similar hobbies & your can share with each others. Please post/share & keep your Monte Carlo Forum active & fun for all.

List of Hobbies,Thanks for stopping by to checkout the NotSoBoringLife.com giant list of hobbies. If you are sitting at your computer, bored out of your mind, looking for a new hobby give this list a try. It’s the easiest way to find a new hobby.

Also check our list to make sure your current hobbies are on the list. If you’ve got an awesome hobby not on the list, leave us a comment telling us what your hobby is and we’ll add it to the list. We didn’t generate the world’s largest list of hobbies by ourselves you know. Also feel free to contact me to tell everyone about your hobby. We’re always looking for people who love their hobby and want to tell the world about it.
Before you get started, we’re in the process of writing a little about each hobby so you can explore it further. Ultimately we’d like to have them categorized by time required, indoor/outdoor, space needed, thrill factor, etc. Obviously that’s a lot of work so it may take a while. Nevertheless the list is a great reference for anyone looking for a new way to spend their day. Enjoy.

WoW `Barbara, you have a lot of hobbies for sure No wonder you get so tired (LOL)...Thanks for posting & Sharing.

Presently mine are the MCF, surfing and exploring the World Wide Web. I go everywhere on the web and now I can just talk to and ask him any question(s)

Sometimes, many times he knocks me off line if I ask to many questions LOL. I just find it amazing that I can go just about anywhere in the world and beyond. Plus search out any vehicle that was ever made or created, or any subject. I miss the net when I'm away from it in places I can't get a signal. The web has changed my life & hopefully expanded my mind.

Thanks Barbara for sharing & being the 1st to post on this subject

I don't have a lot of time for some of the hobbies but can combine a lot like photos while at the track or journaling while relaxing. It all helps keep me calm and focused.
When it is cold outside I like to make blankets and lap quilts for the Veterans at the VA clinic near hear. I get the yarn and fabric from the yard sales I happen to stop at. They all kind of work together in some way.

I saw the video of the chic on the bottom do this shot and it is amazing!!!

I like to watch the shots that Byron Ferguson does on the impossible shots and he does it with a recurve Bow, I own about 7 Recurve bows and a Compound Bow, would rather shoot the Recurves I have this sweet shooter called a (BEAR Polar Bear) vintage 1955, I can match shots with the Compound shooters in our club, without sites just instinctive and they are shocked I can do that.
