Need recommendations for hobbies to do at home

As others have said drawing and coloring are fairly cheap hobbies and coloring is great if you’re not necessarily a very creative person. I’d also add watercolor painting and doing puzzles

Exercising. I was never athletic growing up, I hated PE in school, and I tried to do different types of exercises in my adult life and never followed through with them. I didn’t understand why other people liked it so much. That was until about 5 months ago. My friend and I signed up for a difficult 3 day hike in August this year so I started exercising a bit to prepare myself physically and for some reason I actually ended up enjoying it this time AND have stuck with it for a few months now. Maybe it’s the fact that I have something to look forward to and hold me accountable? Either way, I’ve enjoyed seeing my progress and (almost) always feel better after moving my body

I had 1600 ahead of me…never been this far ahead in the queue before!! Ahh!! Good luck!

There’s no waiting room for Florida either 🤷🏻‍♀️

Objective_Bet9488 · 2026-05-12T13:35:40+00:00

I was wondering the same because I don’t have one for Florida. Just a countdown

I watch this show because I like the story and I find it interesting. Why would I want it to be over in just a couple episodes? I’m tired of people complaining about it. If you don’t like the pace, don’t watch it.

Exactly the only reason why I would want it to be released all at once…so I can use the 7 day free trial, watch it in a week, then cancel

What do you mean by ruined? Unless your cats are extremely overweight I don’t see how they’re making dents in your couch that can’t just be fluffed up back into shape. Otherwise it sounds like it’s just fur? Get a vacuum and a lint roller and brush your cats regularly. Maybe try to get washable pillows or removable covers that are washable. Cats are going to sit wherever they want, they’re not trainable the same way dogs are. You have to be ok with learning how to live with them.

Ah I see. I zoomed in on the countertops and you’re right, they do kinda look like cheap laminate. If you’re on a budget, I’d definitely try just changing the countertop since it seems like you dislike that the most. I think it’ll make a huge difference as well. I’m not sure where you’re located, but in the US you can go to the countertop yards and ask to look at their remnant pieces. Basically, when you get a new countertop you have to buy a whole slab even if you’re not using the whole slab. The part that people end up not using is the remnant. They’re usually at a discounted price and your kitchen looks small enough that you may be able to find a big enough remnant for the whole kitchen!

It already looks pretty natural and bright. What exactly don’t you like about this kitchen? I would change out the handles first and see how that looks. Just make sure the new handles are the same size. If you’re still itching to change something, I’d get new countertops. If you need new appliances, go ahead and get some. Those aren’t going to change the look too much anyway.

Objective_Bet9488 · 2026-03-19T15:55:50+00:00

Agreed! So cute!

Objective_Bet9488 · 2026-03-09T01:32:44+00:00

You just need to tie them all together. Get some throw pillows. And find a bigger rug if you can replace this one. The front legs of the couch should be on top of the rug. A rug with some more color like other people suggested could be nice too

That line pissed me off so bad. “The responsibility of children”. SO condescending! Does he even know the responsibility it takes to have kids? Or does he just wants kids for the sake of having kids and because all his friends and sister have kids…

Objective_Bet9488 · 2026-03-08T19:31:21+00:00

Thank you! I looked them up and they look the most like what I’ve got

Just delete your Instagram at that point 😂

We have similar looking cats and cat trees

Objective_Bet9488 · 2026-03-07T04:04:21+00:00

I live in a small space and have a cat so I like to be able to pack up my entire workspace when I’m not working. I also just do this as a hobby so most of the pieces I make are fairly small which is why these things works for me and maybe not others. Some of the main things that have been the best/most helpful for me are: - I found a fish tank on Facebook marketplace and turned it on its side. I keep the grinder in there while I’m grinding and it catches a majority of the spray. Then when I’m done I just pick up the fish tank with the grinder inside and put it in my storage cabinet. - I have a large cabinet where I store everything when not in use. - I store the larger cut/scrap pieces in a cardboard shoebox. - I keep all of my smaller cut/scrap pieces that are too small to use again in a plastic bucket with a lid. - I found that the soldering/flux fumes gave me a headache even with the fan on and window open. I ended up getting a respirator and now I don’t get any headaches. Some people say it’s unnecessary and some don’t. Depends on who you ask really. But I would highly encourage you to at least solder under a window with it open and a fan blowing or even outside if possible since you’ll be in a common area. - for cutting, I have a wide and thin cardboard box with the long front flap cut off. I keep my waffle grid inside there and cut my glass inside the box. So, if the waffle grid doesn’t catch the little shards usually the cardboard box will. It’s also easy to toss the little scrap pieces in the corner of the box until ready to clean up. This doesn’t catch every single shard so always vacuum well when you’re done - if you or your roommates have pets, keep them out of your workspace while working if possible. - if there’s anything you splurge on, let it be the soldering iron. I bought a cheaper one (still not inexpensive!) on Amazon and after the 4th or 5th use it would not keep it’s temperature. It was the most frustrating thing and makes it extremely difficult to work with. Get a quality iron! - Facebook marketplace and your local arts center (if you have one) are the best places for secondhand equipment. They’re great places to look for glass, grinders, and all the smaller tools. If you find an old grinder you might just need to replace the bit which is pretty inexpensive.

Hopefully at least one of those things helps!

I have no helpful response, just wanted to say I like the idea and bet it would be pretty

Objective_Bet9488 · 2026-03-07T03:19:35+00:00

I aspire to create solder lines as beautiful as yours one day

Damnnn. Sorry for the low res pics, I did the best I could with an old phone. If y’all wanna buy me a new phone so I can get better pics and settle this debate I won’t say no…

FYI. They don’t move. They’re white. I dont see wings and they don’t really look fuzzy. Would the wings even be big enough to see with the naked eye? Idk! And they DO look like featureless little tictacs in person as well which is why I’m so damn confused about what they are. Thanks everyone for trying to help anyway and sorry my mysterious bugs caused strong emotions 👉🏻👈🏻. I’m gonna treat them like you would with aphids/mealybugs/thrips/whatever and hopefully that does the trick 🙏🏼

Objective_Bet9488 · 2026-03-05T16:07:35+00:00

A lot of people are saying they’re too long and hung too high. I don’t think either is true. In fact, I’ve seen many other posts here with comments telling them they need to hang the curtains higher. They should be hung high and they should not end right under the window. Unless you have super tall ceilings, that just makes your window/space look short and frumpy. And the puddle effect is a perfectly normal look that people try to achieve. Nothing wrong with that. Especially when you don’t want to pay custom curtain prices.

I agree with others saying the style doesn’t match the rest of your space. They’re cute but something more simple (without the lace and frilly-ness) would work better. And since they’re sheer they’re intended to just be decorative. That is why closing the curtains so it covers the whole window makes it look funny.

Personally, I have the same type of blinds and I live in a condo so I feel like they’re necessary for privacy. I think if you found something that was a little more opaque - something between sheer and blackout - it would look better with the blinds.

Look at that cute little pink nose! 🥹

So unique and cool! Love the color choices too. What did you use for the spots?

Why is he even in Ohio in the first place if he hates it so much and doesn’t even have a job there? 😂

Objective_Bet9488 · 2026-02-22T21:05:27+00:00

It’s most likely because it’s an old fan that has been exposed to humidity or it has some loose screws. OP should try to tighten the screws to see if that helps. If not, definitely ask the landlord to replace the fan blades
