I’m on the never ending search for a hobby. Something a little more productive than computer or reading books (about people doing productive things). There should just be a long list of lesser known hobbies…

I used to make little sculptures out of polymer clay. You can only make so many little penguins before you get bored and have no more ideas.

I can sew, sort of. I have the ability and the materials to sew, both by hand and machine, but long lengths of fabric annoy me and I have no idea how to use a pattern, so I usually just make little things out of scrap fabric and my own patterns (little stuffed animals, doll clothes, once I made a wand carrier for my harry potter obsessed friend)

I really want to try archery. But my mom doesn’t want to buy a bow if I don’t take a class and I refuse to take a hunting class (Why can’t the people from the renaissance festival offer classes?)

I like pottery, and the first time using a pottery wheel I didn’t totally fail, and it was fun, but buying a wheel costs more than my mom is willing to spend

All sports I have tried… Yeah, major fail. I cannot throw, catch or run to save my life, the only dance classes in my area is run by some one I really don’t like, and I’m not exactly a team person. I sort of liked soccer, but the only time I ever played was when I was in 4th/5th grade where you are less likely to get hurt.

Chorus = NO. Due to several experiences, I have learned to understand that the actual song is given to the people with squeaky, annoying voices who you can barely hear singing and the people who can actually sing are told to repeat a line for the whole song and be quieter so you can hear the other people sing. Plus groups of people singing is annoying.

Gardening is only at a specific time. I’ll be hobby-less in the winter.

Collecting requires spending and then just boring displaying. Yawn.

Is it that hard to find a hobby that doesn’t cost a lot of money, you don’t need to drive to all the time, and you could maybe talk to people who have the same hobby? Just suggest anything (Except hobby quizzes. I took a few of them and they were terrible. One told me I should start smoking weed.)
Oh, and knitting is boring, jewelry making is irritating, and I don’t have enough pictures for Scrapbooking (and its boring)
@Tom Felton: ROLLER SKATING AHHHH! (I’d fall down and hurt myself if I wasn’t too chicken to actually skate. Which stinks cause its one of the few interesting things to do within like 8 minutes to my house) And ice skating, I know how, but bad ankles run in the family, so I usually get a seriously sprained ankle (exactly why I’m not in ballet). And last time I went I fell and had like an epic fail moment.
OMG REMOTE CONTROLLED HELICOPTER!!! But that would probably get old fast..

This is a strange story.

So I was at the Junior League Bag-A-Bargain in Knoxville, (It’s this thing where people donate stuff to this giant consignment sale, and people can buy the donated stuff really cheap) and I was standing in the sports just looking at stuff. (The only thing in my bag was a bowling pin. Yes, a bowling pin) I am looking around table no. 3 and I see this big harmonica. I was wanting a harmonica for my birthday, so I pick it up and put it in my bag and keep shopping. (The harmonica only cost a dollar, but I was a t the previewing party for exclusive people, so everything was double the price. So the harmonica was 2 dollars.) So when I’m done shopping I go to the bathroom and wash off the harmonica so I can play it. Then we head to the check-out.
I decide to get on my mom’s phone and go on eBay. The harmonica says "54 Chromonica, M. Hohner, Germany, 4 Chromatic Octaves, Professional Model." After all that anyone with common sense is bound to know this is probably worth at lease fifteen dollars.

So I go on ebay and search "64 Chromonica, Professional Model" and I was very surprised to see that the prices for them range from 75-325 dollars.

So now I have a very expensive harmonica, that I got for 2 dollars, and It doesn’t have a case. It did not have a case when I bought it. Can anyone tell me where I can get a case for it??? Thanks.

First I am a 22 year old guy in a nursing school. My first semester was fine and didnt have any issues with my course mates, had the freshest breath and could even talk face to face with students and tuitors without any problem for hours but then toward the end of the semester i started to develope bad breath even after I have brushed my teeth. It was so annoying that I will brush my teeth for 3 minutes and immediately i get to school and start a conversation people will start moving backwards or holding their nose. I was really worry about that because with a nice tic tac the problem will be solved and I will be back with fresh breath. Then I took a zoloft for depression and some antibiotic for the bad breath hoping to cure it but rather aggravated the issue. The stinky breath started eminating from my nose which made life a hell for me. I didnt no how bad it was but I could smell a whole room. As soon as I entered the class people will start coughing, holding their noses, breathing very hard that i could here. Then nobody wanted to sit beside me in class and I mean it was very heartbreaking. I believed the same people I had fun with during the first semester probably were saying this guy doesnt brush his teeth or is not hygeinic whatever. I was very depressed to the point that I had to drop out from school because I couldnt take the emberassment no more, EVen at clinicals the nurse instead of showing me around and teaching me whats goes on in a real hospital will instead take my fellow students and leave me behingd. No nurse wanted to even get 3 feet to me. I had comtemplated sucide a couple times but I am the oldest son of my mom and she loves me so much that I coundnt imagine what she will go through after she finds me dead so I was still hoping for a cure. Before that I had tested positive for H pylori but my GP didnt no more about it so he prescribed to me a biaxin which I think aggravated the bad breath. I then went to see an ENT who said it was coming from my tonsils so I had a tonsilectomy which cost 00 and still didnt have any cure. AT this point I had droped out of school, getting ready to quit my work and totally isolated from the society and spent over 00 to cure the problem. One day was searching the internet for courses of bad breath and I came across H pylori as a culprit so I visited a gastroenterologist, had another H pylori test, tested positive again and I was prescribed PREVPAC AND PRILOSEC which I was suppose to take for aout 16 days. After taking the medication for about 5 days I started seeing some improvement on my breath. On the sixth day I went to work had a full conversation with out any reactions and the people who use to give me those reaction even got closer to my face and started talking to me like before I had the problem. Finally I have the cure and I think reason why most people dont get cured early is because the doctors dont know the real cause of the bad breath. If my GP had prescribed the right medication for me when I first tested positve for H pylori I will still be in school by now trying to complete my nursing degree but instead I dropped out leaving an impression to my fellow classmates and tuitors like am some stinky boy who stinks up the whole class and now he is gone we are much better off but that is life I have registered with another school and hoping to go back to school in April
THANK YOU GUYS AND I WISH YOU ALL WELL IN UR SEARCH FOR CURE AND I HOPE YOU FIND IT SOON. GOD BLESS U ALL

We’ve never only fed one horse, so I don’t know how much money it would cost to feed just one. When we had our last horses, we had goats, sheep, and 2 horses instead of just one. And it costed (is costed really not a word?? lol, me and my country talk) about 0 a year to feed all of them small square bales.
Now my mom says I can have a horse again if I find a free one and can get really cheap hay.
I found some cheap horses (they’re all 0), and I might be able to negotiate the price down a little on one of them so my mom’ll let me get him.

I figured up how much hay an average 1000 pound horse would need per day, and it came out as about 20 pounds (2000 pounds per year, since horses need hay from about December through April here). Then I searched hay for sale and found that the average price for an 800 pound round bale is 20-30 dollars. So I figured up how many bales a horse would need and how much it would cost.

So I think it would cost about (more or less, depending on the horse) a year to feed a horse (easy keeper that doesn’t need grain and only needs hay in winter). Is that about right?

I’m probably going to be in driving school the beginning of next year, so I’ll be able to get a job soon and pay for any other costs that come up (I’ll put a little back for vet bills, possibly farrier, and dentist if my dad wont want to pay for that).

And when I’m 18 I might volunteer (part time, since I hope to have a job then) to be a trail guide at a local riding stable (they get tips of about per ride).

Also I have another question for people who know a lot about the horse industry: Is a degree really important? I want to be a riding instructor/trainer, and the college I want to go to has certificates you can get.
It’s ,000 extra per year if you want a degree, and I’m not sure I want to save an extra ,000 to get a degree when I would be just as good at my job without one (the degree course is just regular college courses, no stuff to help with the career I want).
I would try to get a horse that doesn’t need grain (I’d ask to try it out for a few weeks to see how it does on just grass).
And I’d just use mixed grass or timothy hay. It seems to be the cheapest, and I think timothy hay is supposed to be the best for horses.

We have bits (a snaffle and a curb) and a saddle (western), so I wouldn’t need to get any tack unless I found a really cheap english saddle and/or bridle.

And I could make the treats myself if I decided to give it any

Oh, and my dad trimmed my last horse’s feet and we still have the tools.
Miss Luke: thanks, lol. I was wondering why it said I spelled it wrong.

0 is still good, I think.
We had a mare in 1/2 of our pasture (because she was mean to my gelding) and she maintained a good weight all year and I think we had a drought that year (we usually do have dry summers and wet springs)
I would set aside around a month for emergency costs after I get a job, I don’t know if that would be enough to pay for the extra cost of hay if the prices rose, but I’m also going to be saving money for college and keeping my horse healthy would be worth waiting a couple extra years before I could go to college.

Also, If the price is to high and I decide to move to another state will my record still appear when employers do a job search? my mom says no she ust to work for job corps in recruitment and she had to search everyone record before they joined she said people only search in the state for your record.

I am 21 and I got into some trouble when i was 18, I was just hanging with the wrong people in the wrong car at the wrong time. te judge gave me a second chance with community service and probation which i am now off as of 3 years ago. my x friends are each doing 5 years in miami. I live in tampa. Do i qualify to get an expunge and what is the cost? because it is hard to find a job with this under my name

My parents don’t like the local high school but they don’t care if I go to it or not. I really don’t want to go to it so I’ve been looking up local Private Schools and my search results haven’t come out to evenly. There are no Private High Schools in my City. This got me really upset so I was looking into RMA (A boarding school my brothers went to about 2 hours away) My parents said no because it’s a military school and cost a lot. I gave up on my search and now after 4 months I’m starting it back up again.

I looked at Boarding Schools that were near me where I can see my family whenever I wanted and that was near my church and local friends. I narrowed it down to 5 schools. The cost range from ,280(lowest) to ,540(highest). My Mom just started yelling at me about how I should have to deal with the local high school even though my brothers have a bad record there and got kicked out.

I really want to go to a boarding school within 30 minute range. But my parents just like to be difficult about it. They complain about me going to the local high school and they complain about me wanting to go to a private or boarding school. I’ve decided that I wanted to go to a boarding school but don’t know how to convince my parents. You can’t be sweet to these people, they don’t buy pity either. I need something really good about boarding schools that will make my parents eagar to ship me to one. Please give advice.
Long story short, how do I get my parents to let me go to a local boarding school?
I’m sorry I should of told you what was up with the High School. I think this is its 4th or 5th year standing. My brothers wern’t kicked out they left of free will and my parents supported them. They then (2 of my brothers) looked for other choices one of my brothers now goes to the American Online School and the other is now in college. I also have another brother going to College in Canada. This upsets me because my parents are putting out thousands for them when they clearly told all of us that they wouldn’t be paying for our colleges. So if they weren’t blowing it all on my two older brothers then they wouldn’t have a problem letting me go to boarding school and paying for it.

Well i’ve been straightening(rebonding) my hair every year.
I do it when my mom is able to afford it.

I straighten my hair and highlight my hair at the same time at the salon i’ve always go last year. Now i’m changing salon because the hairdresser that always did me and my sister’s hair is no longer working there. Hence, my sister went to a brand new salon which she only straighten her hair and it turns out good.

(My mom don’t believe the other hairstylist in the salon we used to go, as one of the hairstylist USED to damage my sister’s hair)

I wanted to get a red dye on my whole hair. (Like hayley williams hair)
(My sister dyed her hair like few months ago(my mom dyed for her) at that time her hair was long and most of the long hair was damaged(due to bleaching at a salon her friend recommended to her and it turn into damage.).. so a month ago she went to the new salon and cut all her damaged hair(finally she let go of her long hair even though it was damaged) and straighten it and it looks good as well as her red dye but not really obvious.

I did HIGHLIGHT last year and straighten. But the highlight wasn’t obvious (it was reddish or blonde)
As my hair is dark brown or black ( i can’t really tell lol)
So the color turns out brownish kind of color.

Now my hair has curled back(fringe etc) and i’m thinking of straightening it ( as my mom asked me to after my sister straightening turns out well)

But most of my friend kept saying to dye first before straightening it?
But i just searched in HERE about people wanting to dye it first then straightening but most of the answers were to straightening it then dye later.

But what should i dye? Professionally done or asking my mom to do it for me?

But i don’t think i will go to a salon and do it as it is very costly when highlighted my hair the last time ( my mom was furious of the cost of the highlight)

And i’m scared if i were to ask my mom to dye it, the result won’t satisfies me? So i need a good brand of dye to do it.

And should i dye first or straighten first?

My sister used Revlon when she dyed her hair red.

Rebond — most asians country use this as a form of "straightening" if you don’t get what rebond is.

And i’m from Singapore, if any of the people answering is a Singaporean or colorist or hairstylist, please do answer!
I need help! Because i really really want to dye my hair!

I had a stalker on myspace who was not someone I knew personally, but she found out my full name because it was part of my myspace url. Then, in a message that scared me to death, she posted my mom’s dad’s and brother’s names. my profile was set to private and I never ever mentioned their names. They don’t come up on a google search either. How did this person find their names? And I am positive it was a stranger, not someone I know.

I am looking for my mom, Joan E. Johnson, who is somewhere in the Michigan area with possibly my older sister, Darlene. I have tried many web-sites but have had no luck. I am tired of all the hidden costs. Is there any web site that is totally free?? I have tried white pages.com also. I have tried reunion and people search, I am getting very frustrated. I have not seen my mother nor my sister in years and I am really hoping that someone somewhere can help me.—

I was adopted when i was 10 years old, I am now 20 and i am looking for my mom. I have no idea where she is living and i have been searching for her since i was 16. Every internet sight has "her" but i cant see her address or information unless it costs money. If someone had an account i could use just to search her it would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

I wanted to see what information would be available to people and noticed that the company said Sprint when I know for a fact that I have Verizon. So I tried looking up my mom’s number and my brother’s since we’re all on the same plan and theirs come up as Verizon. What gives?
A reverse cell number lookup is putting the number in and seeing who’s number it is as opposed to looking up someone’s name and seeing their number.

If it did belong to someone else, companies really need to change their records! I’ve had this number for 3 years!
