So other than micromanaging your diet ( like we all must do post op! Lol) what are your hobbies? How do you spend your free time?

For me I adore photography and have my iPhone and my DSLR with me at all times.

I also enjoy.....

Reading

Opera

Museums

Gilded age mansions

Antiques

Symphony ( classical music)

Musical theatre (wicked and the like)

I'm a history nut and specifically like researching Chicago history.

So, what are your hobbies?

I also love live theatre and music, history, and the outdoors/nature.

I have a variety of hobbies. One of them is researching early American photographers. In the early days, books were published with illustrations that was until photographers became innovative. One of the first photographers to combine photographs into books was John Carbutt. He published a book in 1868 with almost 100 original photographs. It was called "Biographical Sketches of the Leading Men of Chicago". Approximately 500 copies of that book were published. In order to create that book, 500 photographs of each image was made from a negative and they were individually adhered to individual pages in each book. So the book was a collection of original photographs. Carbutt was a great photographer of his time and these photographs showed the quality of his work. Since these photographs were taken shortly after the Civil War, many of the individuals pictured in the book appeared in Civil War Uniforms. It is unfortunate that many of the copies of this book were destroyed in the Great Chicago fire.

Wow! That's extremely interesting! I am addicted to historic photos of the city and its inhabitants. I must research this further....

Here is a photograph of the Chicago City Hall that was in the book.

Fabulous photo! Amazing what it took to produce one photo back then !

I enjoy crochet, knitting and cross stitch. I am also a writer though haven't worked on my current material in a while. Hoping to get my most recent novel out soon

my hobbies are quite different from the above. i love sports and animals

i have always been a dog person. have always had them and loved them. a few years ago, my son brought home a stray cat. we have always taken care of strays and found homes for them. unbeknownst to us, she was pregnant. from the day they were born, i handled them and loved them. played with them every single day. when they opened their eyes and started roaming around, it was over for me. she had 7!!! when the time came to give them away, i knew it would be hard. we gave three away, and i cried and cried. it broke my heart. my husband and i thought about it, and although it is crazy, we kept the other 4. they are 2 years and 4 months old. we found the yellow male, named nemo, run over close to our house. it was the day after christmas last year. we were devastated. my black boy, roadie, has not come home in three days. we bring them in at night because there are coyotes that come around. we could not find him sunday night. no sign of him. ugh.

i have always loved horses. i love riding. i started jumping when i was 29 until i became pregnant and stopped. i am ready to move to the country again and own horses and ride again.

i love the NFL. i play fantasy football and love it. my favorite sport to play is racquetball. i started at 18 and played until i was 32. after having my two boys, i did not go back. my husband and i both played. we played in tournaments all over texas. he started back 3 years ago and i have played a few times since then. i hurt my shoulder in september playing and am getting steroid shot tomorrow. hopefully that fixes me up. i want to start playing again.

I am a photographer thats how i pay my bills. When i am not on a job i like to photograph fun stuff and travel.

I would love to learn how to play racket ball. Will have to add it to my list of new adventures this year!

@ it is so much fun. i played for years. talk about a workout!!!! omg, sweat, sweat. the times that i have played the last couple of years have left me breathless, literally haha. i would play one game then have to sit out the next. you should play!!!

I'm a geek. My hobbies include table top role play games like dungeons and dragons and the like and extremely complex board games I even go to conventions to meet new people and play with them. I also like crochet bit have carpal tunnel so can't do it much oh and I also love football and play fantasy football as well

Junkin! I absolutely love to find old pieces of furniture and repurpose them! Pallets = my obsession! My sister-in-law & I are heavily discussing opening our own "antique/junk" store and I'm tickled pink about it! And also a bit of a geek myself...so I do play a fair amount of video games on my PS4. Had to back off from that a little because I was spending TOO MUCH free time on it. ????

Once I lose my weight and rebuild my stamina, I plan to join the women's soccer league. I played in high school (lettered my freshmen year in a 5A school)...could have and would have received a nice scholarship to a great school but chose puppy love instead. I've kicked myself in the butt for that for many years. So this will be my way of making it up to myself.

We have an extensive board game collection. If you like Pandemic at all I would highly recommend Pandemic Legacy. The game evolves and permanently changes as you play a minimum of 12 games to complete the scenario. And the best part is it's 2 player! We always try to find games we can play together but many just aren't as good with 2 players.
