Do you go to the beach? the mountains? Do you go swimming, nightclubbing, to a casino, or do you just spend time at home, reading perhaps, or cooking? I like to go to a casino. I set aside a certain amount of money, and I won't go over my limit. I win , lose, lose, lose, win, lose, lose, and so on. I consider it a good day if I break even. I've even been known to come home a litte ahead from time to time. What do you do for fun and extciement, or relaxation?

I feel so good when I go for a long walk. just get away from the computer for a while. Dancing is also fun, not because I'm a good dancer but because I like to move and laugh. I love climbing mountains. I feel like a real champ when I get to the top. Have fun!

Sounds like you have lots of ways to enjoy yourself. You don't have to know how to dance or be a good dancer to have fun. As someone told me once, "Just fake it", 'cause that's what everyone else is doing. . Have a good day

For me nothing is more relaxing than spending quality time with my hubby and kids. Next to that I would have to say reading a good book or watching a good movie.

Well, yes, that is time well spent. But we're both retired now, so sometimes we get tired of looking at each other. That's when we really try to find something to do. Thanks.

I usually go to library and bookstore and perhaps listening music at home, no place I find myself relax than my home brings in..my bed which I feel comfortable spending my time while listening to my favorite genre of music. Happy myLotting!

I really like going to beach but when I'm tired I can't go since it is far away from my house...So for relaxing I just listen to songs which will be more refreshing for me...I also use to go with my friends nearby home and have fun..But mostly I will listen to songs...I'm a great fan of music so I always listen to music... Happy mylotting..

I like to go hiking. This way I spend some time in the midle of the nature and forget about all the problems in the world. I know some quiet places where I like to go, if I had time I would go there every day.

Ah yes..it's wonderful to commune with nature. I live in a town, so I have to travel to get to the woods, and most paths aren't great for a wheelchair.

I live in a town, too, but it is a small town near the mountains. So it takes only few minutes to get there. You are right, there aren't many paths suitable for a wheelchair, but if you find out such a path, you should try to go there often, as being in the middle of the nature is such a relaxing activity!

When I finally get the opportunity to actually relax, I like to either go fishing with my family, work with my plants, read a good book, watch a movie with my family or simply take a nice long hot bath. Sometimes, my family and I will get in the car and just go for a ride. We never really go very far, but it is still relaxing because it is a rare thing that we are able to get into the vehichle and have nowhere in particular to go.

Ohhh...I used to go fishing all the time!!! Maybe that is something I can start to do again. I read constantly, and hubby and I love to go for a ride and try to get lost . It's pretty cheap entertainment...Thanks

As I said earlier, I just love the beach. Wanna grow up and be a beach bum. We eat out occasionally, nothing fancy, sometimes fast food, but at least it's out of the house. Thanks.

I also like to play casino games but i play them online only.And its good that you have this hobby because it is good for relaxing as long as we know our limits.For relaxing i spend time with my family,may be watch television with them or do some gossip with my mom.This relaxes me a lot by spending time with the loved ones.On weekends we probably go out for dinner and have our dinner together and after that each one of us has an ice cream.So this way i try to relax myself and side by side enjoy also.

Hi prasunsam...online casino games are illegal in the US, but I know a lot of people still play them...I simply don't trust them. You sound very family oriented, which is wonderful. My family mostly goes their own way.

There are many ways how to relax and entertainment. To relax you can go to hot bath with bubbles. Watch tv while eating. To entertainment you can go to cinema watch movies, go for walk, go swimming, and my favourite one shopping. I do not like gaming in casino, because It is money and time waist. Also I am too young for them. But, If you are luckily you can play them, but you have written that you lose too often. Take care, Have a nice day!

I go to the beach and stay there for at least three days .The hot burning sun during the daytime and the sound of waves at night just relaxes my whole being. But if i don't have that much time for myself then i just stay at home reading and just keep surfing the television channels.
