Can’t get enough of crosswords, word search, jigsaws, you name it. 😊

[BOSSHOG]

15. I enjoy Soduku

[claudette]

19. That's great

For some reason I just cannot get then right. I admire those who can!! 😊

[BOSSHOG]

20. That's why I enjoy them

They are challenging and I believe more stimulating to the brain. I have about a 90% success rate with them. I do about 5 crosswords to every one soduko.

[claudette]

21. 👍

Yay!!

[Bayard]

13. Houseplants! Yes!

And I also have too many, and can't resist getting more it seems. Been ordering quite a few from Etsy lately. I have 2 bay windows filled (actually...all our windows), and Mr. Bayard recently installed grow lights for me. Everybody is looking very happy. I just discovered I even have a spider plant that is blooming.

I'm just generally an addict, I guess....my big summer flower garden, my animals, riding my horse, and reading. Oh--and DU!

[milestogo]

17. I love Etsy.

[Axelrods_Typewriter]

14. Tea and coffee.

Can't get enough of my Twinings and Cafe Bustelo.

[BOSSHOG]

16. 2 mile walks every day

Outside, weather permitting, or I got a trail in the basement accompanied either by NPR. (WWNO NOLA) or rock and roll from the 60s and 70s.

And at least 200 crunchies a week.

[Mr.Bill]

18. This website

is very good for my mental health. During the pandemic, you people kept me from feeling isolated. I felt like I visited people from all over the country and even the world every day.

[SOteric]

22. My sweet little kitty.

She's the best little girl ever.

[SOteric]

23. And maybe SCE's Sunday LOLcats as a 2nd!

[NewHendoLib]

24. Collecting heirloom tomato varieties and breeding new varieties

I have as many seed samples as some seed banks!

[DUar17]

25. I have always had a healthy lifestyle

I have always had a healthy lifestyle and eat everything healthy. A few years ago I came across Ghee butter... in my coffee ☕. Smooth too. Sometimes I also spoon into my morning oatmeal.

[Niagara]

29. Bulletproof coffee!

Nice! ☕

[woodsprite]

26. Does needlefelting count? Great way to take out your frustrations!

I can stab all the wool I want night or day!

[Freddie]

27. Reading a book with my cat on my lap

Nothing better.

[Niagara]

28. Let me tell you about my addictions.

Exercising/squatting/walking/hiking: I have a sacroiliac joint issue and to keep myself mobile and from keeping the SI Joint from flaring up. I work out on a regular basis.


Music: I regularly listen to music while I'm working out. Sometimes I listen to music while I'm not working out.


Experimenting in the kitchen with new recipes. I'm gluten-free and I'm on Keto. Sometimes I need to switch things up when it comes to food and desserts.


Reading. I like to read when I have the time to do so.


Gardening. I seem to be able to keep Ivy Geraniums alive and flourishing. It's the only type of flower/plant that enjoys my company. I currently have two Ivy Geraniums in my kitchen
and they're still green and have blooms. *Knock on wood* they keep on flourishing for summer of 2024.


Solitaire. I always keep a deck of cards in the house and I play solitaire frequently.


I have several battery operated candles throughout the house. They turn on and off at set times. I don't need anymore but I keep buying them.


Hanging out on DU. Especially the lounge where it's generally cool, calm and collect.


Hugs. I'm a hugger. I like hugs.

[perfessor]

30. Chess

I’m online for a game or two almost every day. Some days it’s more like five or six.

[Chi67]

31. Easy

The gym and playing hockey, still at 56. Human beings were never meant to be couch potatoes.

"Use it or lose it" is the best motto ever. Because it is quite simply true.

[3catwoman3]

32. My/our cats. We have 4.

If I weren't married, I'd probably have at least 2 more.

[WVGIRL]

33. Knitting!

Knitting helps me get into a zen zone! When my creative juices start flowing, I get excited about the possibilities of what I can make!

[Tyche]

34. Pokemon Go!

I play every day while I walk my dogs; it keeps track and I average 4 kilometers a day. I've met lots of lovely people, young and old, and have explored many new places. And it's free! Or can be, I spend about $10 a month on Pokecoins to buy cute outfits for my avatar.

[Chainfire]

35. I avoid anything healthy.

I don't exercise, I eat what I like, and I stay the hell away from doctors. I am more afraid of living too long, than not living long enough. Unfortunately, my family, on both sides, has the tendency to live to very old ages. (My Grandmother lived to 104, and was still at home and healthy, physically and mentally, before the week that she died) My Grandfather was born during the Civil War...His Grandfather lived to be 100, and the wife to 99. It is a curse.

[ailsagirl]

36. Reading and gardening, in that order

[ailsagirl]

37. Too many houseplants or too many addictions?

[milestogo]

41. Too many houseplants!

[ailsagirl]

42. That can happen, for sure!!

[Dulcinea]

38. Running & reading.

I've been a reader since I was little & a runner for about 4 decades. I'm not as fast as I once was, though.
