Favorite hobby or craft?

[pnoom]

Ouch!

I've managed to not hurt myself (seriously, at least) juggling, though I have burned myself trying to juggle torches.

Anyway, juggling is a pretty big hobby of mine. So far, I can juggle:


5 balls, working on six
3 clubs, working on four
7 clubs (passing between two people)
2 diabolos (Chinese yo-yo)

I also have a limited repertoire with cigar boxes.

I will tell you of another hobby that I used to do and that was collecting ink pens. Bics,fountain pens, pilot braned ink pens, and the ones that you get
decorated ink pens, and promotion ink pens like two Methodist church pens,
Trover clinic pens, even the ink pens that came from the place that I bought
them at free ink pens. Before I quit that habit, I had at least thirty in a
pencil box and collecting more. I was with the inkpens like Mat is with his
flashlights! There are all kinds of things that can be a hobby even the
job you enjoy real well can become a hobby like railroad jobs where you
can be the engineer. That job can be like working with toy trains at a
much larger scale. So, is there anyone who likes railroading or even
watching trains come by because Amtrak came by or Union Pacific with
a passenger train. Those are really something to watch going down
the track passing you by. I would like to hear more.:grin:

[Krummhorn]

It would be nice to have at least one of them myself. Oh well! I've
tried to juggle once and wound up puting myself in the emergency room
with a black eye! I would like to hear more! Sybrite, where are you girl!
I would like to hear from you somewhere!

I often wonder if learning the Bach T & F qualifies as juggling - :crazy: :grin:

Well, Krummhorn, usually people give me this strange look when I tell them about this. It started about 10 years ago when my parents bought me my first flashlight. I've always liked all kinds of electric/electronic stuff. Now in my collection I have almost 70 different flashlights (Maglites, Mactronics, Fenix, Frendo, Phillips, VersaBrite and many others; One of them is over 40 years old, it was used in Polish railway and to tell the truth it's in a great shape and works, of course:grin. And somehow I've found forums (both Polish and English) where you can talk with people like me (flashoholics).

This is indeed interesting ... no strange looks here. I think it's great that you will have this collection to pass on down to family in later years. Who knows, these things may be quite valuable as collectors items in future years.

 

[methodistgirl]

Oh Krummhorn you just made my day with some of your humor.:grin: Have you
ever collected anything? I have an idea that you did sometime in your life.
I guess you can say that trying to learn Toccata can be a new hobby.
By the time I do get the piece right the staff at church will have bald heads
after pulling their hair out! I still once in a while collect ink pens. Only if
they are unique enough. Thanks I needed that!

[Krummhorn]

Well, I do collect money as a hobby ... :crazy:
At other times, I seem to involuntarily collect bills that have to be paid ... :nut:

Seriously, I collect shot glasses from places I have visited on vacations. I lost most of the collection during my residence moves over the years. So I have but only the past five years and starting to add again to this collection.

My son collects spoons - he got his mom's collection after she passed on and has been adding to that periodically. Funny that most of that collection are the ones I bought for him to give to her ... These are the little spoons sold in curio shops of various vacation spots. He also has his grandmas thimble collection, but doesn't add to that anymore.

 

[methodistgirl]

Ah! That's nice to have a collection from your past relitives. Krummhorn
you almost have something in common with me with that. I collect pennies
and they can make you money if you save enough of them. I wished I still
had some things from my past relitives. I don't though or that would give
me something to cherish. But, that is from the past. I'm new member of
this big church and it's so big I almost call it a cathedral and making new
friends there. I don't really need to go to another one right now. I have
a picture of my husband thanks to the ID card he left behind. I no longer
battle with depression like I used to. Now I can enjoy my hobbies. I"m
working on a new sweater right now and taking classes at my church which
I can find difficult at times. They have either dinners on wednesday
nights that are delicious or sometimes a celebration on sunday where
they serve breakfast. As for my landlord he's being a pain in the kuester
right now but he's like a dad to me. The senior preacher there has such
a kind heart. I almost cried when he told me he had confidence in me
which I don't in myself. I have a hard time remembering things.
But never mind my problems here, let's talk about what this chat is
all about. Hobbies!

[Oneiros]

Hmmm... I would like a hobby. It used to be computer games but music has taken over! I really should get out more.

 

[Mat]

Well, some of them already are:grin:. But I would never sell any of them. For me that's something more than just a flashlight

Computer games can be a good hobby. I play bejeweled and Chuzzle.
Sure! Music can also be a good hobby. I used to also collect record albums
when they still made record players. Now I have had to convert to the
compact disc or my computer for music. Playing an instrument of any
size can be a hobby. I find it just as relaxing to play the harmonica as
it's behimoth pipe organ. I will sit down to a piano when I have the blues
and play the music that I'm feeling or guitar. To me sitting down with a
guitar is like making love to music. It does feel good!:grin:

[Minnie]

Hey! Besides playing piano and singing I also dance in a folk dance group, take lessons for ballroom dances and do some debating. I like digital arts (drawing on computer), reading and listening to music.

 

[methodistgirl]

Minnie, that's good excersize to dance like that. That is an aerobic
that can really be enjoyable and it's a good hobby. I will sometimes
turn on the radio and dance to the music. I walk everywhere I go
since I don't own a car or I would never get anywhere and the bus
system here can leave you waiting when I could get there faster
if I just walked to it. I live where is within my fingertips if I would
walk to the place. The bank is just around the corner of the next
block which is just a small walk away, the public library where I am
right now is not much farther and the Methodist Church I go to is
just two blocks away. So I can also say that walking is another
hobby of mine and it gets me where I want to go, and I'm losing
weight thank goodness!:clap:Let me hear more.

How many of you like to tinker with gadgets? I always find myself
fixing something somewhere when the object is small like the button
from one of the organ's stops fell off when I practiced and I put
the button back on. I think it was #4 viola on the organ.

Hobby plus

I love to play poker, blackjack, roulette and other casino games.

I also really enjoy volunteering with the local community organizations, particularly the Main Street organization.

I like to play poker with my computer and other card games. I don't like
to bet though. I just like to try to match either two jacks or better, or
to get a streight.

[methodistgirl]

Does anyone else have a favorite craft or hobby? How about cooking,
fixing automobiles, fishing, computer games, and more? Come on
Mr. Magle I would like to know what you like doing. Come on people
let's start some more discussion!

Come on! Since Christmas is just around the corner I know that
some of us like to make things for christmas and give them to
our friends from the simple little homemade Christmas card to
the cookies we make our guest for christmas. Please let me
know something about this. Don't let this little discussion die!

[marval]

Well I am not really very clever with my hands, I did make some cards one year on the computer. I like to read and listen to music, I also enjoy doing crosswords, and writing poetry. Money is a bit short this christmas so maybe I will have to try and be creative. When I was little we used to make sweets, to put in small boxes to give to people.

 

[Corno Dolce]

I'm going to fly a sailplane this coming weekend. Since it has a very small motor, usually not found on a sailplane, I won't need another plane to tow me into the air. When the motor is shut off the propeller folds and tucks away into the nose cone so no drag.

I like the Le port de La rochelle painting a lot, I would love to have that hanging in my living room.

My hobbies are Music and Video Games.. thats about it. I know I am not very interesting. I guess I also enjoy American football, College and Pro. But I am not crazy about it like some people.

Judy my Mom and my Sister-in-law both Scrapbook aswell. :grin:

Cool! I also like to do keepsake books better where you collect paper
items until you have a lot of it and bound it up in a binder as a scrap
book.
