Melissa Lavallie: "HOLY COW" Cream...what does religion have to do with hobbies???GET A LIFE!!!Sorry, back to your question....I had an idea once that I could build a better "picnic table" with "No Undertable Cross Bracing" to be kicked every time I tried to stretch my legs...well...it took me a month to design and build an octagon table that sits 12 people comfortably and has no undertable cross bracing. All 12 people can sit "ON" the table without fear of breakage or collapse. A couple of weeks later I spoke with my brother about a gift for his daughters 4th birthday....well... I spent the next 10 months designing and building a "Barbie Doll Size" doll house. It had 12 volt lighting in every room, hardwood floors-baseboard-and cornice molding, a hand made central staircase and railing, a cedar shingled roof, 16th x half inch overlapping siding, working shutters on every window, hand cut cloth flowered vines clear coated to every shutter, a storage draw all on casters. T! hree years later she had outgrown it so my brother gave it back to me. Ofcourse it needed a few repairs but easily fixed.A dollhouse "Kit" of the same dimensions (no extras) was $600usd...I invested about half that and sold it on ebay to a "Very Happy" buyer for $4000.00usd...that's right ...four thousand dollars....Show more

Jonelle Eligio: Hobbies are nice for free time and all, but you see..the purpose of life is not to divulge in this material world. I don't know what your religious or spiritual beliefs are, but the universal truth is that this world is a fake place of materialism and temporariness. Nothing here is real or permanent. One day your body will die off, and you, being the soul or spirit or whatever you call is, is going to leave the earth. What is a hobby gonna do for you on your death bed? But if you do meditation, if you ! do things to serve GOD, you will die and have an actual future! after that. A future with GOD. You will be in GOD's abode. You might think this is totally irrelevant, but it's absolutely not. This is relevant to life itself. The sooner one realizes these things, the better for them only...they are only doing good for themselves. You should really do Om meditation as it really increases your deep spirituality. All the things here on earth are attachments, these are temporary and fake attachments. The only permanent attachment you have is to GOD and only GOD. So you should try to get GOD-realization, salvation, liberation, enlightenment, nirvana, whatever one calls it. They're all the same thing. Hobbies and other material 'luxuries' and divulgence won't yield anything. Look at the people in poverty, the people in disease, those suffering who have nothing to help them. Why are they like this? It is the actions of them from their past lives that have accounted for this consequence. Even physics says that an action has an equal and opposit! e reaction. So there ya go, in case you were gonna expect 'scientific evidence.' Why are some people in luxury and some not? Why have the words 'fortunate' and 'unfortunate' been invented? Why are some people either lucky or unlucky? It doesn't 'just happen;. That would be stupid and unfair at all heights. It's because of you that you get what you do. And wasting time on earth will just result in rebirth, again and again, to do the same boring things. Meditation is exciting and really beneficial. Even for your physical health, mental, and spiritual well being. If you don't care for what I'm saying, it doesn't matter to me as your caring or not doesn't touch me in any way at all. But think about it - is there a harm in trying out meditation? Will you be damaged in any way? Nope. So how about this for a hobby: Om medtation. And by meditation I'm not talking about relaxing yourself and thinking of the sea waves. I mean really, the real meditation, that originated in India and ! has been adopted in the west in a different way; Om meditation videos c! an be found easily on youtube and followed. The word Om is really powerful. Start out with 10 mins a day, 15 mins a day, increasing slowly to half and hour and then an hour, two hours, three hours a day. The more your life is absorbed in meditating like this, the closer you get to GOD and away from the miseries of this material earth. If you don't believe me, you can just try it for yourself. Won't harm you, so doing it shouldn't be a problem. Don't give up on the first day or first week. It's not allopathic medicine. It's a natural process. It'll take a slight amount of time, but you'll start feeling the effects in guaranteed 2 weeks and so on, given that you do it correctly. Please give some thought on this...I don't know why I came across and said this but...I just felt the need to say all of this. I wanted to do someone benefit...give it a shot. In conclusion: Take up OM Meditation....Show more
Heidy Fujikake: Hmm... well an odd but really cool hobby that I've bee! n into is dolls. Not just any dolls but BJDs or Ball Jointed Dolls. They are a type of art form, pretty similar to sculpting and their materials is somewhat in between plastic and porcelain. I would recommend researching. These dolls could actually go from about $300 - thousands so this hobby is expensive and could give you money in return. Maybe you could try making these. Although this hobby sounds girly, its not. Its actually really beautiful and many guys get into this hobby. At least try to look into it, even if you aren't interested at first. here's a video I found that explains it all:1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGsYKVmyy_4
