I've been on it for about 9 years, due to physical and mental illness, so I am pretty much kaput in terms of doing a lot of the stuff that many of the other folks do. I read (even belong to a book club), write (for a newspaper--a weekly column and am working on a book about experiences with being mentally ill), play games and correspond on the computer, always do the word games there after I read the rest of the newspaper, watch certain TV shows, rent movies, and go out with a friend to McDonalds's or such once a week. I've tried doing a bit of volunteer work, but I'm not up to much.

Have you considered starting your own social club, by advertising in the paper? Maybe a book group or such, depending on your interests.....

I also do some church activities.
