scuba diving. I couldn't even manage snorkeling. sky diving. Heights don't bother me but I get motion sick in small planes. Plus, I have the Air Force perspective. I see no point in jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft. drawing. I enjoy painting but I really don't like sketching. I have a book currently out of the library on botanical sketching and it is a chore to get through it even though I know practicing these sketches will help me with other art projects I have in mind. I am so glad you said that. We bought snorkel masks for a trip and when we tried them on before the trip, I couldnt get it off fast enough! I felt like I was suffocating

Is ironing a hobby? Like housework ironing your sheets and pillowcases? Not possible for me. I soften wrinkles in the clothes dryer. Works great every time.

I felt like I was suffocating I didn't try snorkeling until I was 49 years old. Three years ago! I just thought I wouldn't be able to handle that feeling, and I don't really swim in the ocean anyway. Well, I went on a girls trip to Sanibel two years ago and one of the girls loves to snorkel. She got me to try it and I loved it once I got the breathing down. I found shells, starfish, and sand dollars and was so thrilled to have given it a shot. I've gone once more since then and will definitely do it again. I even got DH to try in a very shallow area (he's not really a swimmer).

I thought it was a joke. This is an actual thing? I've now heard everything, I can retire from the internet.

I kind of want to make some of those cute elastic bracelets made out of beads but I'm afraid I will spend $$$$ on cute beads and supplies and never make a bracelet!!

I do not want to go horseback riding. I have never been on a horse before much to my brothers chagrin as he was a harness racer and spent most of his life in the company of horses. His horses always seemed so big and strong and I honestly feared them. Which is weird because dogs and cats love me and I them. But a horse? Nope.

I'm not into high risk activities, but I applaud other people who can do those things and enjoy them.
I'm not remotely athletic, so I would never join a softball or volleyball team.

Years ago my iron decided it wanted to devote its life to crafting and it hasn’t touched human clothing ever since. (It has ironed puppet clothes in progress however.) I wouldn’t want to do most sports, especially anything like swimming, snorkeling or scuba diving. I have a pretty good fear of deep water. I can swim but I’m not a strong swimmer and deep water freaks me out. I wouldn’t be interested in anything potentially dangerous.

no hunting, no shooting, no knitting or crocheting, no painting, no scuba, high rock climbing, no beads or jewelry, most crafts...anything that requires me to stand around..
I like high adventure stuff.. did a lot in my youth.

I'm fine with anything to do with heights, as I have done skydiving and bungee jumping before. I'm fine with scuba diving, I have my dive ticket. And I am not at all claustrophobic. BUT but but... watching people dive through underwater caves and tunnels where the tunnels are so narrow that their tank is scraping along the top of the tunnel gives me the heebie jeebies so bad. And even though on the other thread I said that I'd like to learn an instrument, I know full well that I would never keep up with the practice. I love the idea of being able to play an instrument, but I don't want to have to put the work in to actually learn it!

I do not want to go horseback riding. I used to go horse riding with friends decades ago. We had so much fun! The last time I went horse riding, I realised that my lack of pelvic floor strength was not compatible with horse riding. Put it this way..... it has the same effect as jumping on a trampoline. I will say no more.

I will say no more. Girl do your kegels at every stop sign. An older nurse I once worked with told me that years ago. She wasn't wrong. I can jump on a trampoline after six beers, not a drop 😁 but I won't because I might break a hip, and that is the same reason I'm now scared to get up on a horse after all these years! I was a decent rider, not formal or anything, just a natural on my aunt's wicked horse/pony hybrid. That bastard jumped me and my cousin over a corn fence with no warning and we both managed to stay on!

I felt like I was suffocating I'm not a big fan of being in water. However, when we went to Hawaii 15 years ago I made dh stop to get me snorkeling equipment immediately. Dh and ds also got equipment. We dropped our bags, and got changed for snorkeling. Since I'm not a water person, dh volunteered to take ds8 with him. We got out there and within minutes ds was at my side. I stood up and dh was far away making sure ds reached me. Ds and I had a blast looking for fish and trying to identify various ones. When we finished, I found out that it turns out dh cannot be touched when he is in water. 😅 A few days later we were on a boat for a snorkeling trip, and I went to find dh to show him some turtles. I approached him from the front and I swear that man swam backwards away from me because he thought I might touch him. The boating trip also taught us that there was no f'ing way ds was going to get off a perfectly good boat to get into water. By the time that trip was over, dh and ds swore we were never going to Hawaii again. I keep swearing I will go back on my own.

I will say no more. Dh bought me a horse riding session for my 60th birthday as I'd said how I used to love it. I was shocked how heavy, stiff and uncomfortable I felt!! I imagined that it would feel the same as it did in my 20s but it really showed me how my hips are less flexible, how light I'd been back then and I just felt so cumbersome. I could still remember how to ride and I did enjoy it but it felt so very different.

I will not participate in any hobby that takes me up in the landscape or underneath it. Narrowing my choices, eh?!
I mentioned on another thread that I find mountains oppressive. I’ve been up in the Italian Alps a few times and around Mount Blanc on the French side and those immense, towering mountains make me feel sick.
I’ve been in a few cave systems, just as a walking tourist, nothing extreme. I’ve always felt anxious and uncomfortable in them and in the last one I went in, in Italy, I had a panic attack. I will stay in the car now if DH wants to go underground. How anyone can enjoy donning a wet suit and lowering themselves into dark, tiny spaces, especially where water is involved is beyond me.
Hence hiking, climbing and potholing are the things I avoid like the plague.

Clothes, bags, shoes, makeup shopping. Would rather scuba/bungee jump/clean toilets then do that for “fun”

Most high impact sports, really. The thought of getting seriously injured, or even dying, because I was doing my hobby is awful.

I'm so slack (pun intended). My daughter is a physiotherapist, and she has just finished her additional training on women's pelvic physio..... she's so ashamed of me haha! I'm impressed with your pelvic strength - I hope it's not too late for me!

Ok, it's not actually every single stop sign, but that does remind me to give it a minute. Also when I see her pop up on Facebook. I bet that would give her a giggle.
