I tend to spend way too much on electronics. Constant PC upgrades, new disks for my NAS, better monitors, etc. I do at least allocate a monthly budget for this, but go over it sometimes…
Food delivery is another high category for me, and I’ve been trying to cut back, but it’s soooooo convenient.
Hi! I'm 70, so retired and have many hobbies and interests. At the moment it's beekeeping and coastal rowing that take up most of my time. I took up rowing after arthritis put paid to dinghy sailing, and it's fantastic. I gave up racing this year but I sort of miss it. I keep bees with a community group, we have 15 hives on two sites. I'm also into photography, hill-walking, knitting, travel, gardening, all the old-lady stuff. And I enjoy tinkering with tech, I run a club website and a blog for a friend. What else? Baking, jam-making, DIY... I'm sure there's something I've missed. Oh, I made a pond and some frogs moved in, so I guess frog-watching? Is that a thing?
I always had penpals when I was a kid. My mother had one when she was a girl too, and finally got to meet her when they were in their 60s.
Except you feel the need to always respond to everyone else’s conversations. Your timing is impeccable yet everyone comes to resent your witty remarks.
Making jokes is how people cope with tragic events.
This is why there is the on-going debate, that no topic should ever be unavailable to joke about.
I remember that the very same day that Princess Diana died, people were saying "Died in anasty accident" and that was before the days of the internet being popular, that was a joke that spread around the country by text message.
I really enjoy video games, crafts, dnd, reading, and taking care of my critters. I have one dog, 2 cats, and 10 ducks. I will be getting a puppy next weekend. My dog is a beagle, my cats are just regular tabbys, and the breeds of ducks I have are: 4 French white muscovies, 1 jumbo Pekin, one regular Pekin that's crippled, 2 cayugas, a golden layer, and a khaki campbell. The puppy I am getting is a goldendoodle.
I work in IT as a tier one help desk tech as a means to feed and shelter myself and my critters.
I’ve learned that I’m much more likely to splurge on food (like more expensive brands or new products) than on other things.
I’m not much of a spender overall but subscribe to the mantra of “if it separates you between the earth, it’s worth spending a little more (like shoes, tires, mattresses, etc.).
Agree with 1 and 3. I haven't seen the other ones, they seem interesting.
The only one I can think of right now, because I've seen it like 3 times, is The Internet's Own Boy.
