I can't reply to everyone but I thank you all for your suggestions.
I LOVE your idea for traveling. That is the kind of stuff I want to do.
Already did the accounting thing. When I was early 20ties. I learned quickly how to make money and accounting was not it. LOL
I would love to learn woodworking or something cool like forging. I don't think I could do it, but I would love to try.
I do get involved in some meet-ups and I even hold some of my own. Boredom may not have been the right word. I am looking for something challenaging.
Golf is a challenage, but I have given up on being good at it and just enjoy swinging a club. That is another problem. I don't have a lot of winter activities that I enjoy. I would love to do a golf resort tour one day though. That would be cool.
That is not a bad idea. I was going to a windtrack to make my bike ridable insde in the winter, but that is another idea. I will look into that.
I do a lot of kid stuff still with my neices and nephews. Not the same as helping a kid who may be in need of more, but I don't want to make a commitment that I may not be able to keep later. That would bring more harm to a kid. My neices and nephews like to see me but can go a couple of months without seeing me too. That was a good idea though.
Thanks
I do think I will get a new Sax this year. I play but not for a few years and I miss it. That is a good idea too. Thanks

Lots of great ideas here. Thank you all so much. This gives me stuff for 2018 for sure.
I think most of my problem is I started life young. I had my kids young, I was forced to wark hard when I was young and now at 42 I am an empty nester, which is new and different and a bit of an adjustment from single mother working fulltime to almost total free time. I enjoyed it for a little bit but now, I find I can wake up, do what I want for the day but don't know what I want to do. LOL
I have tried this. I read well and can even write some, but speaking is hard. I may try this again since it really is a challenage and a benefit once you learn.You should try learning another language, I find it very fun and it can make travelling to places where that is the language a lot more enjoyable.
Simple, arrange a gang bang. If you enjoy women too make it an orgy instead.
I am thinking of opening up more sexually. This business has certainly helped with that, and I wouldn't mind exploring further. Don't know if that will help my need for a challenage right now, but certainly would be fun I think. Those are good suggestions though.How about Oasis, could be lots of fun and you never know who your might meet.
Hahahaha, I get the irony. I am looking for adventure but safe adventure. LOLHow about backpacking in Afghanistan? Not touristy, plenty of ruins, potential for excitement and, most likely, you'll be the hottest lady there. Just getting there should be quite a trip.
I do quite a bit of travelling, but its usually AI's or something structured for tourist and I would love to look for something different. I do think I am going to travel Canada. I mean it is my country afterall and we do have some amazing wonders so I think I should dedicate some time to travelling to staying in the country. I think I am going to do that this year.travel - so much to see on this planet
I am looking into scruba diving. I am starting with snorkleing. I have always been an above water type person. I am not big on salt water, but I did snokerling in Cuba and it was awesome. So I am going to look into that type of stuff this summer.Become a scuba diver! Lots of great diver development destinations, many with unpatronizing traveller scenes. Try diving and hate it, you’re in a great part of the world to explore.
I became a divemaster during a 2-month period of downtime and never looked back. It was something new, a challenge and a complete life reset, thanks to the place I lived.
If you want a party, you can find that. If you want something really healthy and spiritual, you can find that.
Since that first experience, I started travelling differently. I go to a cool place and live for a couple months, and do short trips from there. I love to immerse myself in a new scene, and moving hostel to hotel every day (or week) never allowed me to really “live” anywhere I was visiting. Having something to do, whether it be human or conservation outreach or “working” in the dive industry, it’s a great way to meet new friends really quickly, and you’re never bored.
I LOVE your idea for traveling. That is the kind of stuff I want to do.
Yes. That is a great idea. I will be sure to start making a serious list.Make a bucket list and start doing them. My #1 was to play in the World Series Of Poker main event and will do so in June.
I have done that before. Which is great because I learned things that I was able to make money off of, but the local college has changed its continueing Education program and it really sucks now. I like going into the classroom and they have moved most stuff online. I can get a membership for Linda.com for a cheaper price then what they charge. I am actually pretty bummed about that because I would jump on learning something new if they had the right resources.If you are bored..then go back to school ("university") ...get a degree or master degree! Do something that challenge you mentally also. Maybe you need to discover something mentally that can safisfied you.
My house is completely done from head to toe. That was my boredom project about 4 years ago. LOLIf you do not have any trades skills like carpentry, then I suggest taking such a course and doing some of your own basic renovations at home. It will take up some of your valuable spare time.
Another thing to think about is to join a gym that has an indoor arena like a 200 metre track. Try taking up to the basics of walking /running and building up from there. Sign up for Zumba / Salsa classes. You will get to interact with others on such courses. There are various Meetup groups in the GTA that are active even during the winter season. There are some types of hobbies that may interest you with these groups.
Do you do your own taxes? You can get involved with Accountancy courses that help in that respect. Just do not sit around and get bored, as it will not be good for your mental health and accelerates the signs of dementia.
Research has shown that golfers are normally in the best shape and health, especially during their retirement years. Now these apply to golfers that walk the course and not the ones just sitting in the carts and driving around the course. I would like to try this game once I retire, but I find it to be a boring game and only take part in tournaments where the suppliers take care of all your costs on the course. All my buddies who have taken up to golf say that it is an addiction to them.
Already did the accounting thing. When I was early 20ties. I learned quickly how to make money and accounting was not it. LOL
I would love to learn woodworking or something cool like forging. I don't think I could do it, but I would love to try.

Golf is a challenage, but I have given up on being good at it and just enjoy swinging a club. That is another problem. I don't have a lot of winter activities that I enjoy. I would love to do a golf resort tour one day though. That would be cool.
I do volunteer but I don't think I could do a animal shelter. I will be too sappy and will want to save them all. I have 3 furbabies already, I can't take more. And I would try. I know me. LOL.volunteer at an animal shelter or wildlife cause or rescue
volunteer to teach or coach something that you like to do. It don't got be anything complicate or long term.
take an auto repair, painting, cooking, photo, carpentry, etc course.
Hahahaha, I actually did that for a while. I even started with a Picachu. LOLGet into Pokemon Go
I would love to do a mountain climb and training would certainly be a nice challenage. That is a good idea. I won't be doing any marathon thoughs. These boobs and running are not a good mix. Well for me at least. For you guys watching, its great!Train for an iron man competition...and set a date to actually do it
Train to climb Mt. Killi....and then do it..
Plan a trip to Uganda and do the 2 week Mountain Gorilla trek...
Last 2 are next on my list
T.
Get yourself a fat bike to rip up the trails in the winter, regular mountain bike and a gravel-road bike to ride in the summer and you will never get board. Go to Cycle Solutions on Kingston rd. And they will set you up. Another good hobby is cross country skiing. Almost impossible to get a serious injury and awesome full body workout. For cross country skiis you can go to Skis and Bikes on Don Mills. Good place to start skiing is Hardwood Hills. They have about 80km of groomed xs trails for classic and skating styles in the winter.
That is not a bad idea. I was going to a windtrack to make my bike ridable insde in the winter, but that is another idea. I will look into that.
iFly is on my list for sure. And I was thinking about a polit licence. Just to say I can do it. I think it will help with the hieghts too, but I can't see it helping enough to make me jump out of a perfectly working plane. LOL1. Try iFly in Oakville at Winston Churchill especially if you’re scared of heights. Also Skywalk on CN Tower.
2. Work for your Pilot’s license, especially if you’re afraid of flying.
3. Take cooking lessons if you like chemistry.
4. Tutor a kid through one of the boys and girls programs.
5. Attend an ayahuasca retreat.
I do a lot of kid stuff still with my neices and nephews. Not the same as helping a kid who may be in need of more, but I don't want to make a commitment that I may not be able to keep later. That would bring more harm to a kid. My neices and nephews like to see me but can go a couple of months without seeing me too. That was a good idea though.
Thanks
My son is a parkour freak and I can't do it. My body is just not up to the task for most stuff, but he loves laughing at me. I also hate watching it. At least with my kids. I am so scared of them getting hurt. Its a mom thing and I swear they do the most dangerous stuff when I am around just to freak me out. LOLParkour.
Unicycle.
Silks.
Learn an instrument.
Create a youtube channel reviewing clients (anonymously, of course)
Create a youtube channel reviewing sex toys.
Create a youtube channel reviewing amazon clothes.
Learn scuba diving.
I do think I will get a new Sax this year. I play but not for a few years and I miss it. That is a good idea too. Thanks
