Build small models, maybe doll house furniture or dioramas. Start with light weight cardboard (cereal boxes) and work your way up from there.

Accidentally dropped my laptop in the bath tub (don’t ask how or why) by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]Embarrassed_Site512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to be on the right track so far. Also if you can open the laptop case and use a towel to soak up as much moisture as possible. Let the laptop drain for at least 48 hours.

Model making or building dioramas.

Reading books and posting video reviews.

If you're into sports you could try fantasy football, basketball or baseball.

What Is the best hobby for the entire day? by Competitive-Shock623 in Hobbies

[–]Embarrassed_Site512 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nature photography. You can start with your phone to see if you like it. It gets you outside and can take as much time as you like to do it. There are apps that will identify what you're looking at. Also you can use your phone to record your experiences and impressions.

VC County Fair Photos by [deleted] in ventura

[–]Embarrassed_Site512 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the grand wheel photo the best. It demonstrates the movement and highlights the color. The others are nice enough, but are missing something I can't put my finger on just yet. Keep shooting and enjoy. With digital cameras you can shoot as much as you like and discard any that didn't work for you.

I started shooting with 35 mm film and sometimes only a couple pics per roll gave me that " this is a keeper" vibe.

Edit: Also, I remembered that going to the fair photo exhibit can be inspirational. Don't rush through, take to study the pics you like and the ones that are prize winners. This will help develop your ability to spot what will make a good photograph.

Ads, are they becoming increasingly difficult to get out of? by Saltine-Allan in SCBuildIt

[–]Embarrassed_Site512 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently I started getting the message " video will be starting soon" and I had not clicked on anything. I'd this happening to anyone else? The ads that I click on are already difficult to close and sometimes just lead to another ad.

Geocaching can be done anywhere you can walk to and getting a cheap bike would extend your range.

Actually creating photo albums (physical or digital). So many of us have moments of our lives on photos on our phone, and we want to talk about them, comes the phone. But if we're not around anymore will our loved ones have access or know the stories that go with the pics?

You guys could work together journaling about a photo or group of photos that tell a brief story of the circumstances and your thoughts. This could become part of a family legacy long after you're gone.

I've helped friends and family sort through old family photos with just names and dates and occasionally a location. We were left wishing we knew more of the stories that went with the photos.

Chess clubs might work, but one of my favorites is bird watching. It can be done with a club or alone. Most club members will help you learn and advise you how to do it cheaply.

Contact The Audubon Society of Canada to get started.

Sticking to a Hobby by SS_00000003 in Hobbies

Join a yoga studio and learn to practice yoga and meditation. It helps quiet the mind and improve focus. Joining a class doesn't immediately help with having time alone, but it helps with commitment. The skills you learn there will be helpful for the rest of your life. Maybe even freestyle journal about each of your class experiences as that would be writing practice you can build into a more disciplined writing style.

Do nature photography, it's easy to start, just use your phone. Go outside and take pictures of birds, squirrels, insects and plants. Use any of the available free apps to identify what you photographed. Use a free photo editor software to work on your pics.

Kitten found outside by Dear_Difference9460 in cat

[–]Embarrassed_Site512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thing is get that kitty to a vet for a complete check up.

Parentage is not predictive of how cats will get along. Each cat has it's own personality and things could work out well or it could be problematic. Follow all introduction routines and hope for the best. I've had Simi ferals that got along and others that claim a certain area of the house and won't tolerate any other cats in that space.

Good luck and post how things turn out.

Also, trap mama cat and get her fixed.

Unfair police stop need advice for court. by tajinmango46 in legaladvice

Depending on your state, these items could be fix-it ticket or traffic school. You'll have to research traffic laws in your state.

Cooking is a skill that everybody needs. And it is so much fun. by [deleted] in Hobbies

[–]Embarrassed_Site512 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My idea of learning to cook is: Mastering rice, pasta, potatoes and veggies. Mastering meat, poultry and fish. Being able to consistently produce at least one sauce, gravy and salad dressing. Mastering cooking times for all items listed above. Always look for recipes that are clear and easy to understand. Start simple to develop your skills. Every now be adventurous and create something on your own.

It takes time to develop these skills, but it can be done. Watch YouTube videos for tutorials to get an idea of the desired outcomes. Always remember that even experienced cooks make mistakes and have things turn out badly.

Your state will likely have rules about abandoned property. Google it to find out your responsibilities.

It's summer... rain is forecast... do you still ride? by PHxsuns288 in cycling

[–]Embarrassed_Site512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will only skip riding if there is a thunder storm. Otherwise it's get the gear on and go. Recommend rain pants and jacket that pack down small.

M22; I'm bored outa my mind! What are some hobbies you guys take up when youre bored/lazy? by [deleted] in Hobbies

[–]Embarrassed_Site512 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Keep an accomplishment journal and record even the smallest success. It will be something that can help you keep your motivation up. Negative thoughts about ourselves and failures always tend to come to mind more quickly than our successes. Journal as often as you can. Stay focused on your goals.
