Go to yard sales on Saturday and spend Sunday finding places to put all the things you bought that you don't really need? Start wrapping them for Christmas?

Do you lhave an interest in Medieval Europe? I'm part of a group that recreates pre-1600 Europe. If you need to work out frustrations after a rough week, you could be one of the heavy fighters and put on armor and go beat on people. We also have fencers and archers. If your into the arts, we have people recreating just about all of the "Arts". Costuming is very important. The only thing required to attend one of our events is a" reasonable attempt " at pre-1600 clothing. I do woodworking, brewing, and cooking. Check out www.SCA.org if your interested. We have groups worldwide.

Hi,

We also go to garage sales, flea markets, thrift stores. I like to keep my legs moving, so I really like the outdoor flea markets.  We ususally do those on a Saturday.  End up in our little hang-out tavern, catching up with friends.  The rest of the time, fixing things up around the house,( the normal maintenance/cleaning stuff.....,  and just taking care of myself physically and emotionally, the best I can.

I see where you just got back your negative test results...that ought to keep you busy jumping for joy. Volunteer work is always a good way to keep busy and keep your mind off yourself.

I'm pretty lame...

My Sundays are filled with drinking and football at the bar.  Although I didn't go today, instead I stayed home and have been doing work around the house and watching football and drinking margaritas here.

Just curious, why would someone who is negative choose this forum to ask questions? It seems almost voyeuristic to me. I doubt the folks on SSDI can afford a personal trainer or the people with health problems make it to the gym. You see we are positive and with that comes a different set of problems that as a negative person you just won't be able to relate to. You are negative...right? It helps us put your questions in perspective to know your status.

If you are HIV negative, like Doxie says, AND you cannot figure out what to do on the weekend, I certainly am not going to share with you any pointers.

I say, GET A LIFE!
The Bible contains 6 admonishments to homosexuals,
and 362 to heterosexuals.
This doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals,
It's just that they need more supervision.

   Yes, we do have equestrian sports. There are people doing just about everything that was done during those times.

   Having just bought a new house that needs everything, my weekends are booked for the next few years. I will be Working on the House, or the property, or my art work, or the upcoming mural project in a local restaraunt, or my '57 DeSoto, '63 Cadillac, or '86 Eagle 4X4. Then too, I could bedoing some mundane thing like flying to San Fransisco on a regular basis starting soon, gettin all my ducks in a row in preparation for a liver transplant, taking at least one of the dogs to the Vet. And let's not forget the 32 foot long vintage camper that needs to be gutted and re-done.   
   And finally, there is the sittin' on the porch time. Time to enjoy some smoke, and watch the amazing New Mexican Cloudscapes parade silently by...

   Peace to you all 8)

The only thing I can do straight is shoot..
