I get bored easily and found myself looking up lists of fun things to do for free. Some things I found didn't sound like much "fun" to me, but I decided to start a list anyway. I'm getting ideas I've found all over the internet and hoping you all can add some free or inexpensive ideas to my list.
Yes, my sanity is depending on you and I am asking you to help entertain me like a spoiled child would. :D

Some of the things on my current list include:
Baking, cooking, photography, photo editing, going for a walk, exercising, reading, writing, podcasts, listening to music, cut your own hair, cleaning (is..fun?), rearranging, build a giant blanket fort, learn something new, etc.

I realize this could get long and be full of fantastic ideas, but I want to see what some of your ideas are! :)

Reliah, you can't read minds, can you? Because this is the exact same thread topic I was thinking of making earlier today. What a wonderful coincidence! :laugh:

You took a lot of ideas I would have put up, hmm, new ones, let's see:

Go to a pet store and look at the pets
Go to the pound and play with the dogs/cats (my local pound lets us do this, idk about yours)
Jump into a cold shower and stay there for 10+ seconds (really gives you an excellent endorphin high)
Roll a rolling pin under your feet while watching T.V/reading a book (it feels like a foot massage!)
Do wheelies in a wheelchair
Boil some water with a drop of peppermint oil and stream your face (when it starts to heavily boil take it off the burner, put it on the table, and put your head over the pot with a towel covering your head and the pot, with a small opening to less loose a bit of the heat. Make sure you don't get too close to the pot, and your hair is up if it's long)

  • Make long prank calls to banks and insurance companies at 11h55 (11:55 a.m.) and 16h55 (4:55 p.m.).
  • Read novels to telemarketers. They love that.
  • Memorise the Upanishads.
  • Recite Upanishads to Jehoveh's Witnesses (whether they knock at your door or not). They love that.
  • Go to the news kiosque and get nasty magazines. Tear out the subscription cards. Fill them out with the 'bill me' box chequed, in the name of someone who "deserves it".

now there's a man who knows how to have fun.
For those of you who wonder why Muammar Gadaffi is my avatar:
-He turned the poorest country in africa into the richest country in africa (also richer than Saudi Arabia).
-He overthrew a monarchy and created a unique direct democracy system of government.
-He housed everyone before his own family (that's where the tent thing comes from)
-He near-erradicated previously rampant illiteracy.
-He prevented banks from setting interest rates, his central bank wasn't owned by Rothschild.
-Quite a lot of other cool things like free electricity, free healthcare (including abroad), longest man-made river in the world.
-During NATO bombings, a quarter of Libya's entire population showed up the same day, same place, to show their support to Gadaffi. No police, no army to control the crowd, yet there was less blood than at a peta rally.
A great man.

    • Reaction to this (Last post by Reliah)
    • Quote: Greetings each How would you react to this ? 2x2=4 3x3=9 4x4=15 5x5=25 6x6=36 7x7=49 I think it would depend on where I saw it, who wrote it, etc. (as usual I haven't read through the thread before I'm posting this, so I apologize if I'm just repeating something another person has said.) I would make a mental note, just for myself, that the 4x4 was wrong, but I wouldn't likely say anything - unless I was helping someone with math or something.. and then I'd just ask them to look at that problem and think about it again. Like I said.. it would depend on a lot of things as to what my reaction would be..
    • Curious about your jedi-ness (Last post by Reliah)
    • Quote: I’m curious as to which of the 16 teachings and 21 maxims people find most valuable in their day to day lives, and which are the hardest to work on for you? Which are the ones that make you feel most like you are Jedi? While I agree with those who have used words such as "guidelines" and what not, I thought I'd answer the questions you asked specifically. Serving others is probably one that makes me feel most Jedi-like as well as meditation.. sometimes. :P Patience is one I seem to have a difficult time with. Patience more involving other people than anything else. I've been told patience isn't being able to wait for/handle something, it's the way you handle it. I think that on a day-to-day basis, "harmony" would be the most valuable.. everything else seems to fall into place after that. It's hard to pick.. so.. I did the best I could :)
    • Trans (Last post by Metsu Desal)
    • Quote: I think the problem with the posts on this thread is that none of you are transgender, so you can't possibly understand what it feels like. How do you know who is transgender and who is not? Do you have some kind of Trandar? I used to believe I had transgender issues but that was resolved when I got my head straight, I even joined TOTJO the first time as a "transgender" but after getting some clarity on my self and clearing my head of issues I came to a realization I wouldn't be happy if I had gone through with it and it would have been a mistake. I have met loads of transgender folk from all ages and races and I can honestly say the majority NOT ALL have had some major psychological issues the major one being depression.
    • Losing or have we already lost it? (Last post by rugadd)
    • I don't think people give enough credence to how our environment affects our thinking and how thinking a certain way reinforces itself. By making everything convenient and easy we've put ourselves in a circumstance were we learn to think conveniently and easily. Higher though requires effort.
    • The mentality of "fighting" for peace (Last post by Wescli Wardest)
    • Quote: Good point, as morality is subjective and not universal, who is to decide what is moral, and what by what right or privilege are they to do so. That is a good question. And when I see/hear it I always suggest that people start looking for the answer with an open, unbiased mind. And the first place to begin the search is… “Honor: A History” James Bowman (Author) [attachment] PS: My copy has notes and scribbles all throughout it. Like most books, there are a few opnions vioced in it, but overall it is a look at honor and what helps to define honor, morality.
    • Jedi Sentinel Findings (Last post by Abhaya Budhil)
    • I think that when you are stepping in to help someone, especially if one or more people involved is being violent, you have to weigh the situation and remember to protect yourself. If you feel the situation would be physically dangerous for you, it is best to call the authorities and not step in yourself. If you get injured as well as the original person facing violence, you are no longer of any help to anyone, and you will only take time and care away from the person who originally needed help when the violence started. However, if you think you can intervene without getting injured or without being injured to the point of not being any help and just being in the way, then by all means do so.
    • Balance? (Last post by Daniel L.)
    • "As above, so below: as below, so above." "Nothing rests: everything has poles, everything moves, everything vibrates." "Everything is Dual: everything has poles: everything has its pair opposites." -The Kybalion Just a few lines from the Kybalion. Balance doesn't always have to be exact. Some times a little good can undo a lot of bad. A lot of water can drown you but with out it you'll die. A boat can float in water but it can also sink in it too.
    • Jedi Council? (Last post by Alexandre Orion)
    • When I had been here for a two or three months, I was wondering about inter-community behaviour. It seemed that there were a lot of people from here doing things in other groups (pardon me please, for I still find something distasteful about calling them "sites") ; people from other groups here and several from here talking about other Jedi communities in which they were taking part. I also had looked over a few of the others, without any particular inspired interest. Then again, it took me a while to join our Temple as well. Anyway -- I wondered if it were not perhaps commonplace to roam around the Jedi groups. Perhaps this was how intra-faith cooperation worked .... I wouldn't know, I'm not an internaute to that degree. So, I asked Br. John. He just told me that it wasn't particularly encouraged, but not taboo either. But that answered my question. Since that day, I haven't gone anywhere else. We have a Temple and it is home. When others come here to visit, I'm friendly, yet get a little steamed when one tries to impose on us something from elsewhere - proposing is fine, insisting is not. Our Temple is well organised ; we have guidelines, yet quite a lot of liberty also ...
    • Hero's Journey comically explained (Last post by Hadi Apollos)
    • For those who find the explanation of the Hero's Journey to be boring, let Mario and Fafa from Glove and Boots, along with Fafa's totally-legit-and-not-involved-with-the-Mafia-at-all cousin Johnny T, take a shot at it :P
    • Oh Ewan McGregor... (Last post by Hadi Apollos)
    • I'm not even gay and my undies hit the floor :P And no, that's not a look-alike. That's him goofing around on set. Looks like it was the scene where they were following Duku (the carrier, Padme in her white clothing off to the side..........I really need a life, lol).
    • Our Myths (Last post by Hoxxie)
    • Not a myth per se but I have been reading through some of Aesop's Fables and this one appeals to me: "Mercury and the Woodman A Woodman was felling a tree on the bank of a river, when his axe, glancing off the trunk, flew out of his hands and fell into the water. As he stood by the water's edge lamenting his loss, Mercury appeared and asked him the reason for his grief. On learning what had happened, out of pity for his distress, Mercury dived into the river and, bringing up a golden axe, asked him if that was the one he had lost. The Woodman replied that it was not, and Mercury then dived a second time, and, bringing up a silver axe, asked if that was his. "No, that is not mine either," said the Woodman. Once more Mercury dived into the river, and brought up the missing axe. The Woodman was overjoyed at recovering his property, and thanked his benefactor warmly; and the latter was so pleased with his honesty that he made him a present of the other two axes. When the Woodman told the story to his companions, one of these was filled with envy of his good fortune and determined to try his luck for himself. So he went and began to fell a tree at the edge of the river, and presently contrived to let his axe drop into the water. Mercury appeared as before, and, on learning that his axe had fallen in, he dived and brought up a golden axe, as he had done on the previous occasion. Without waiting to be asked whether it was his or not, the fellow cried, "That's mine, that's mine," and stretched out his hand eagerly for the prize: but Mercury was so disgusted at his dishonesty that he not only declined to give him the golden axe, but also refused to recover for him the one he had let fall into the stream." I think this can apply to Jediism in a few ways. The first of these is that honesty is important, which follows the Jedi teaching to avoid lies. I also think it (to an extent) relates to being wary of attachments - in this case material possessions - and obsessing over money/expensive items leads to greed and upset, and these greedy actions also remind us to act not for personal profit. Well that's what I think anyway :)
    • The two extremes of life (Last post by Rickie The Grey)
    • Quote: i think the way to middle is through wisdom, and the way to wisdom is by high intelligence. so if you follow the virtue of intelligence, it will inevitably lead to wisdom. Yes it is but not by intelligence alone. I think we need to accept that there are many ways to learn. Wisdom is elusive and a by product of learning not a dileberate goal. It happens when it happens. Can't push a string. Ying Yang? It's just a drawing.
    • The wisdom of children (Last post by Raikoutenshi)
    • I actually just wrote a paper on the topic of the perspectives of children for my English class. I posted it in my journal if anyone is interested. It shares most of my thoughts on this topic. Great video Brenna :)
