So how about the ladies here, what are you gals doing for hobby's any suggestions for the misses??:)

Now that I am a stay at home mom and am housebound I have a computer/research addiction - geneology. Prior to this I had a pretty active life, showing and handling dogs, breeding samoyeds and collies and himalayan and siamese cats. Bred a few little pet dogs for a short while after this. My favorite were the sammy's, bred the #3 sammy in canada, and #1 puppy. Of course now you can't beat all the family things together, soccer, hikes and playing family games. A very good way to spend family time.

Beside the reef tank I...
1 Scuba dive
2 Draw and paint
3 Poison Dart Frogs (300 gal display in the design stages) will go nicely with the seven other various sized terrariums!
4 Archery every now and then.

our offleash park is fantastic other than people not always cleaning up after their dogs it's about 4 km of nice treed trails :)

< -- Jealous! I bet your collection is great :) I just started playing during Zendikar block my brother taught me and I'm really digging it although apparantly a lot of people don't like some of the new rules and quit playing because of them..but that's fair I quit WoW because of stupid expansions :)

<--- Denny I'm a lady haha but i'm not sure your GF would enjoy any of my hobbies :( we also build lots of computers and drink copious amounts of beer .... after thinking of all these things I think i need to cut down hobbies...no wonder I never have time for anything...maybe I should just quit working that would free up some time =)

Hmmm,

In no particular order:
Fish Tank
Mtn. Biking - Try to take at least one trip a year
I'm a car guy - I try to make at least one show in the US a year.
Home Theater - This one is pretty tame, I don't go for the high-end stuff.
And like others - Beer Drinking...lol

In no particular order, sailing and boating, mountain biking, orchids, and ocean and aquatic life and related activities so aquariums, diving and snorkeling all sort of count into that IMO. Camping. Dreaming of a better life. Music (playing and listening). Woodworking.

I work with computers and software and don't really consider those among my interests any longer, although I did when I was growing up. Expertise and interest apparently don't go hand in hand.

Kids and pets are not hobbies, so I don't list them here, but it should go without saying that I do enjoy sharing my hobby pursuits and activities with my kids.

Holy moly, a 300g frog tank? That sounds epic. I'd love to see more of that when you get it going. Wouldn't the darts simply get lost in there or how many are you thinking of housing and what kind?

One of my next projects will be a dart frog tank but probably something a little smaller. :lol:

Myka 12-06-2010 06:28 PM

I work 350 days a year. The other 15 I spend looking at my tank wishing I could see it more. :lol:

Haloreef 12-06-2010 06:46 PM

Hey Tony it is a 125gal reef ready tank that I am going to take the front pane of glass off of so that I can have front access to using sliding doors. The plan is to double the hight and add a fifty gallon sump.
I do not know what frogs I will put in yet.
I currently keep;
4 Standard Lammasi,
2 Tarapoto Imitators
2 Southern Varriabillis
7 Bora Ridge Ventramaculatus
4 Super Blue Auratus
3 Micro Spot Auratus
1 Pumillio Bastimentos
1 Adelphobates Quinquinvitatus
1 Blackwater Ventramaculatus.
It will be planted with all sorts of Broms Orchids and mosses!
For some reason my wife is not as happy about this as I am!
Keith.

Magic... I just pulled out the 20K cards I have. Time to Ebay those. Haven't played in far too long. I have from Tempest (and a few of the smaller sets prior to that) through to Urza's. It was about that time that the rules started changing up too much. My friends stopped playing, and well, you can't exactly play alone now can you!

As for WoW... LOL, I play that one :) BC expansion was good, Wrath was a bit silly (too bad, good story line, and zones) Cata so far (world has been blown up) is looking really nice! Can't wait for tomorrow! Release day :)

Wow takes up most of mine and my wifes (yep, she plays) time. Living in a small apartment doesn't leave too much room for too many hobbies!
