When you're in the mood to be entertained, what do you do?

[Youngster]

I turn to a good book or a movie.
For those of you who like to read and enjoyed my cat story titled Leo and Cleo: Betrayed, I've posted four more Leo and Cleo stories you might like. <HERE>

Read forum posts, I guess. Or look out the window.

Sometimes I watch short YouTubes, but I have lousy Internet and don't do that often.

I wish I could just turn on a TV from time to time, but I can't afford it.

I really wish I had someone special to do things with, but that's not happening either.

I go for a walk in an off-leash dog park & am surrounded by dogs.
Watch a movie.
Entertain myself at my piano.
Eat. Anything.

 

[Murrmurr]

First thing I do is either finish a project or start a new one.
If I'm not up for that, like if I really need to sit for a while, I watch YouTube videos.
They're endlessly entertaining.
Also informative. For those, I especially like medical lectures and the DIY ones.

Remember when all you needed to watch TV was a set of rabbit ears? My father used to experiment with a piece of plywood covered with aluminum foil, out on the porch. I also remember using wires and coat hangers. Those days are gone.

 

[Lewkat]

I read or get someone to play one of my table games. Scrabble is one of my faves.

 

[Georgiagranny]

Turn on my HD radio to the public station and tune to HD2 for classical music. Or play solitaire on my laptop. Or both.

Never lived a simple homebody life. Even now in retirement, long long varied list of activities depending on a long list of circumstances.

Anything except turning on the TV!! Walk, garden, cook, exercise, read, talk to Flash (dog) and do a fridge and closet clean-out.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

Walk, read, listen to music, paint, or watch a good movie

 

[MickaC]

This has been my always and forever.
Being outside with Mother Nature, and all creations…….especially BIRDS……LOVE to SEE……LOVE to HEAR.
Spending time with my guys……watching them be silly goofs..

You had me until the fridge and closet clean out. lol

 

[ShaRe]

Live shows
Theatre
People watching

 

[hearlady]

Usually watch Netflix or pitter around the internet and youtube. Sometimes movies. Or sometimes, I go look around thrift stores.
Walking is fun.
My husband says shopping is not an event. I say he not doing it right.

Smoke a doobie, see what happens next.

They're not gone, actually. You can still get TV signals from major broadcast companies with a variety of antennae you can make yourself. It helps if you live in or near a broadcaster or one of their big booster towers. An antennae I made years ago didn't work when I lived in the Sierra mountains, but it worked great when I lived in the hills near the west coast. It's still working great for one of my grandkids, though I did have to tweak it a bit.

 

[CinnamonSugar]

Time with Grandgirls
Chat with out-of-state children online
Try a new recipe
Books
(becoming more frequent) check Amazon to see if I can order online what I couldn't find at the store (grrr)
Library
Coffee/Tea/Smoothie (depending on weather)
YouTube videos, this forum, online games
Knitting/crochet
Plan trips (whether they happen or not is irrelevant)

I log-on here and read the members posts, some are hilarious.

I'd just moved into my old apartment, so this was 6, 7 years ago; my older brother came to help me move some furniture around and broke out a doob at break time. "C'mon, Frank, you know you want to. You need to, man, you're all stressed out over nuthin." So I took a couple little hits. After a few minutes I told him I wanted to hang up some pictures of the kids but I felt like part of the couch and I couldn't move. He laughed and said, "You can move. Just get you're arse up and hang them pictures."

When I sobered up many, many hours later, these pictures were all over the place, every one crooked, none of it making sense.

It was an order-obsessed neatnik's nightmare.

I will go to a Jazz Club and listen to music. Go to the gym and workout.

I'm using a homemade Gray-Hoverman antenna mounted in the attic of my attached garage, and it is connected to the cable that already came installed in the house to my TV room.

So, you get cable TV with it?

Interesting.

It's not the same pot as when we were kids. No way to enjoy it now.

Yep, that's true. In fact, the stuff on my streets can be deadly.

My bro knows I'm a lightweight, I've gotten stoned only a handful of times my whole life, so he brought what he thought I could handle.

Wrong.

Do not think it funny that a young child, or even young teen, was offered and used pot. This is very wrong. I warned my son I would always know if he were high, so he better not, until college age. I have very strong feelings against children using drugs. What your brother did was not right and I ain't laughing.
