I am sure we do not all sit on PC all day and night as that would not be very healthy. What do you do ?

Me I am married have 2 daughters we have a nice family and do a lot of things together like going to the beach, boating, shopping, we love to eat out and have BBQ's and just TALK
My husband and I both work and like our jobs
We as a family try to stay fit.
Right now my husband is laying a ceramic floor and I am off and on helping while I paint the dinningroom.
I do keep very busy IRL and see a T once a week to once every 2 weeks.
My friends and I do not go to bars but we do shop and eat out and go to the beach or use my one friends pool. I cannot list it all but this is a good way IMHO to get to know one another even better/
I like to latchhook and read also

[PasDeDeux]

And I LOVE to make and eat popcorn <-- thanks Rhaps

[PasDeDeux]

Wow you do have your hands ful but it sounds like with only worthwhile things thats a nice balance

[shearmaniac]

Well my husband & I both work. He works in construction , I`m a hairdresser & own my salon. I have 1 son who I absolutely adore & we also recieve alot on weekends & enjoy just getting together with friends!

[therealme]

ok... i am married with 4 children, we all have seprate lives, or thou we do go out to places as a family we dont really talk.
my wife works in a care home ( and is a member of pc) i am currantly off work but when im working im a kitchen porter, our oldest child has ADD, second oldest is ok i think as she spends most of her day in her room or on the computer, the third oldest has ADHD , and can be a right handful , and the baby of the family is a proper daddy's girl, even thou she is only 12 she is so wise for her years,
we do go out to places together and they spend so much money its scary, but i love them all so much

I farm, and I chase storms. Snow storms or tornadoes, It doesn't matter. I have seen over 25 tornadoes and funnels,and the closest I have been to a tornado is the dust-debri cloud. Once, I looked directly up into a funnel. One tornado was powerful enough to rip up the asphalt from a highway. The sound of the storms is awesome, like several Niagra Falls. Lightning feeder channels have passed through me. It feels like touching a power mower spark plug. Probably, I need my head examined for taking such chances.

Right now, our crops are dying because of a two year drought. We raise corn and soy beans, and combine season is usually in late September. This year, it may be August if we don't get more rain and cooler weather.

umm ... as most of you know i have a phd in criminal psychology (substance abuse and offending) ... i love to travel and am currently planning my next trip to south america ... my last was to malaysia for work ... i went into the private sector to a corporate job in the end because it's better pay and more opportunities (working for a global company). right now my life seems to revolve around developing my career so i work pretty long hours.

i love to go out, drink wine, chill out with friends ... a lot of my friends including my sort-of-boy are DJs so often go check out them spinning at a club or party.

hmmm i love shopping and the beach too.

[Mystry]

I am working in a thankless useless job but it pays the bills...

[Beautiful_Pain]

Not alot, actually. I can't work (tried last month), can't drive to go anywhere. I spend time with my sister and husband the most, when they aren't working. I go to my mom's a couple times a month, mostly talk on the phone occasionally to the rest of the family. I play at a few sites, watch movies, read, write very occasionally.

[LMo]

I do a lot -- too much, most likely. Am stretched too thin, in fact.

I am self-employed and have a full-time client and a few part-time clients. I take classes toward an MBA and just finished a certificate program in Mediation/Conflict Resolution. I am the president of a nonprofit organization that provides educational programs on cultural respect and world travel - it takes up a good portion of my free time. Until recently, I was on the board of directors for a women's SA/DV crisis line, but I stepped down because I simply couldn't dedicate any extra time to it. I am a hardcore gardener and am currently helping my husband with carpentry projects on weekends. I also ride my bicycle (road) long distances, usually with a group of my girlfriends; sometimes take yoga classes or run. My biggest passion is world exploration - I have been to more countries than I can count and planning one trip to the next is what keeps me motivated to work as hard as I do. And of course, I am a moderator here.

My absolute guiltiest leisure vice is watching a few shows on Comedy Central - South Park, Reno 911, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report. The most relaxing thing that I do is go for walks around our neighborhood (I love where we live) with my husband or my best friend, or sit on our patio with my husband around the fire pit. We used to love camping, but that was before we started putting every weekend into renovating our house and yard.

All in all, I'm very happy with my life, but just need about 4 more hours to each day.

[Beautiful_Pain]

LMo

I would donate 4 hours a day to you...you could use them much more than me!

I'm married to four wonderful husbands, who help me raise our 23 kids. We have 16 girls and seven boys. All the kids have jobs to do, so I don't have to work. The little ones clean and pick up trash, the middle ones do slightly harder work, like laundry, and help the older ones raise the two babies. The older ones also have jobs outside the house and one is just starting college as well. The ones with jobs outside our home pay me 60% of their salaries for rent, plus another 15% for food and utilities. I watch TV and shop at malls all day.

Kidding! Kidding! When I'm not online, I'm cooking dinner, cleaning the apartment, watching TV, writing, reading, and, once in a while, I do other things, usually creative stuff. On the weekends, I usually go out with my boyfriend.

I love it

I'm 52 years old & have 2 grown children (30 yr.-old lawyer in Dallas & 27 yr.-old engineer in San Francisco, but he is moving to Argentina in a month!). I work part-time in the billing dept. at a tennis club (spend all my time on a computer there). My husband & I travel a lot. We have a 2nd home in AZ so we go there one week a month (We live in Indiana) & do a lot of hiking. We also visit our "kids" frequently.

I co-lead a support group as a volunteer at the women's jail once a week & go to 2 support groups that meet monthly as well (through DBSA & mental health assoc.). I was diagnosed with bp about 4 yrs. ago, maybe 5 by now, & haven't been sleeping much since April so I read A LOT from around 2:30am-6:30am when my husband gets up. I journal & exercise a lot (DVD's, stairmaster & treadmill that we have at home) to help keep my mood up. In the winter I also add sitting under a full-spectrum light. Plus all the wonderful meds.

I'm kinda isolated from other people. When I was really ill, I stayed home & avoided any contact with people except my immediate family (poor guys!). I now feel that I lack social skills & am pretty lonely. I do enjoy the support groups where other people are "in the same boat" & I can learn from them & offer encouragement.

I do the normal housework, etc. that is necessary for daily life.

Off the subject, I'm pretty new at computers. What does IRL mean? Here in Indy it has to do with car racing (Indy Racing League). I don't think that's what it means in pc!

[Lexicon78]

Hmmm...well 2 days I week I attend partial hospitalization. I recently came out as a lesbian so I'm working on networking with other lesbians that I can just talk to.

I run my own website and moderate 2 others. I exercise when I can and do all the things around the house. I also clean my dad's house, help him out in any way I can, do his gardening, some cooking, some of his laundry, and I also buy his groceries when I can. I have a handful of cats that I keep at his farm so I'm busy taming them and the new kittens.

Oh yeah, I'm also attending an online college to get my associate's degree in psychology right now, too. I'm trying to currently lose weight so I'm busy focusing on that, too.

I have no children, but my cats are truly my children so it works out just fine!

I am married (20 yrs) to my high school sweetheart and father of our two boys (21 & 16).
I am a homemaker and have been most of my married life.... I take care of the house, 4 dogs, grocery shopping, errands, cooking, laundry, paying bills and managing the family finances. I am presently helping one of my nieces out who has just recently found herself as a single parent of three (her man cheated on her and then left the state) - so I baby sit two of her kids during the day (2 yrs & 9 mths) and then I pick her 5 year old up from school and keep them all until she gets off work at 10 pm - Mon thru Wed.

I fill in any extra free time with visiting & helping my retired parents, walking the lake with my baby - my pitbull Zulu, reading a good book, watching Animal Planet, being with my family or just relaxing out back in the wide open country field / woods.

Oh yeah!! - Hubby and I have a "Date your Mate" night at least two times a month..... to keep things fresh.

LoVe,
