Hello, obsessed sf members. This thread is for you, what are your favourite obsessions? Inquiring seniors want to know. Please keep it clean and inoffensive. I am a shy and delicate flower. Lol.:eek:nthego:
 

I have two. One is pretty clean, the other can get pretty nasty. I am addicted to creating quilts. Thats the clean one. I am also addicted to..................well.............................horses, in all their facets. Riding, grooming, and making baby horses.
 
Well, I do like everything to be organized, clean, and tidy in my home. But I'm not sure if it qualifies as an obsession. And then there's yoga. I like that a lot. And chocolate, of course. And how could I forget - BEER!
:cheers:
 
I'm a little bit obsessed with photography, and posting my pics online..:D sleep yep..I'll sleep whenever I can, I don't get enough of it, so yeah I'm beginning to get obsessed with it.. :sleep:
 
I used to be
obsessive about things being perfect such as paint finish when decorating.As I have aged this has gone and I am a bit of an untidy slob when alone.:)
I still obsess about the mind and overanalyze people :confused:
 
I've never called this my "favorite" but I am obsessed with saving plastic bags from the grocery store. I once had one of my storage sheds (I have 2 storage sheds on our place and my husband has one and his shop) stuffed full of them in big garbage bags. Some were so old they had turned yellow and were sort of stiff. So one of my kids was visiting and found out and told my husband and one thing led to another.... Now I just save them in my house. I do use them to line waste baskets and sometimes for tote bags when I go somewhere (even though I own several nice tote bags people have given me as gifts) but I just can't throw one away on a regular basis. 2 or 3 times a month I will throw one away just to prove to myself I can do it! I'm not like this with other things. Really, I'm normal.....I'm a normal upstanding member of my community. :)
 
Linda, buy the environmentally friendly, reusable grocery bags and don't accept any plastic bags from the store anymore.

The way you're going, you're not keeping the bags from becoming land fill. You are simply delaying that outcome.

I own several of the bags you are referring to. Here in California they will be the only things we can use before long. That is sort of why I feel like I have to save all these plastic bags, I'm afraid I'll run out and need one. And I just realized I also might be obsessed with underpants. How many do most people own? I have so many I have to store some in plastic storage containers in one of my sheds. I keep about 30 pair in my dresser in the house. I can trace that back to being really poor when I was young. I have no idea how many pair my friends have and I'm sure not going to ask them. I'll ask you guys though. How many pair of underwear do you have in your dresser drawer?
 
I'm obsessively pedantic about grammar, though I try to keep it to myself.

I hate it when those who should know better, like the BBC, talk about "referendums" not referenda, or the "the HMS ...... (the Her Majesty's Ship .......), or when people gaily scatter apostrophes around like confetti!

(Only with Btits. The rest of the English speaking world can do what they like, it's their language as much as mine!)
 
My obsession, which drives hubby crazy is I can't stand the coffee,sugar and a jar with tea bags in it scattered all over the bench top near the kettle , I like them neat against the wall.. :)
 
I'm also addicted to photography like Holly. How else could I ride a bike 40+ miles with a camera hanging around my neck and shoulder?

Trying different beers.

LOL, Linda. I have tons of knickers! I have found some that I really like - boy shorts that are one size fits all and have a great fit and no VPL- so I ordered more online and the rest of my knickers just sit there in a jumble, unworn.

In Scotland stores have to charge you 5 pence for each plastic bag to encourage people to buy and use their own. I always use my own heavy duty reusable ones when grocery shopping anyway. Took me a while to remember to bring one when going to other stores, but I use a cloth one for that now.

I am, however, obsessed with Hefty or Ziploc zipper bags from the US and buy many boxes of them on every annual visit. I love them for packing and storage. They do have some zipper bags in the UK but very poor quality and you can't count on them to stay zipped.
 
Oh, and I have over 10,000 photos in my Flickr albums - and these are just the ones I thought good enough to keep, not the thousands I've deleted.
 
Playing chess online. I am determined to die an above average player and time is running out!
 
For many years I was obsessed with finding the perfect pie crust, finally I did. The secret? An all butter crust. It is to die for! I obsess about cats, wish I could have more than the condo Nazis allow. Two seem like tokens. Sometimes I obsess about my boho decor, always searching for the perfect addition to improve the look or mood of my living space. Same goes for my garden. Personal growth as well. And, of course, food!!
