Why not join a class where spelling is taught.

you could open a can of worms with that comment, wrong spelling could be for may reasons, dont take the mick:(

[stewart4364]

I am not taking the mick, only stating a fact. Looking at many of the topics posted on the org. it is obvious that spelling, punctuation and grammar are no longer taught in our schools. In bygone days education in Scotland and Caithness in particular was the envy of many a country throughout the world but our education is now lagging well behind other countries. This could be contributed to our education system forever being tampered with by Governments and so called "experts". Hopefully common sense will prevail and we can once again achieve an education system to be proud of.

It appears your discounting they possibility of dyslexia.

To answer the original post, my hobby is writing music and poetry

I think you need a hobbie to take the attraction away from other peoples punctuation and spelling. Heard of paragraphs?

Anyway i like cooking, drawing and then eating the food i cooked whilst admirning my drawings. Haha.

If you are into more "extreme" sports then why not try white water rafting. I used to enjoy rock climbing and absailing back in my younger days. :lol:

Social skills class maybe Stewart? That does come across a little harsh.

As for hobbies learn the saxophone -you know you want to!

[stewart4364]

I agree that some people may have dyslexia but not everyone on the org. posting their comments (which can sometimes have numerous spelling errors) suffer from that condition. Some people use text-speak. What is taught in schools nowadays? The three R's appear to have fallen by the wayside -- some children are not even able to read and write when they go to high school -- in this day and age there must surely be a failing somewhere.
One thing I am not short of is hobbies -- the problem is finding time to do justice to them all.

To answer origional poster. Why not try a bit of fishing? Might be the wrong season, a bit cold, but there are plenty of hot spots up here, if you get my drift...

[the_count]

bird watching, cross stitch, knitting, photography the list could go on forever lol its best to find something you enjoy doing and explore the possibilities from there.:D

[Scorpio12thNov]

Reading, exercising, listening or playing new music you've never heard or played before, cook a new dish in the kitchen. Or type random things on wiki, you never know what you may find...

[kimmie]

As someone has said before, there is a long list of hobbies to do, the questions you need to ask yourself are; Do i want and indoor or outdoor hobby? Do I want something more craft like or would i prefer to paint? Would I be happy collecting or would i prefer to cook? answer yourself these questions(and probably more to boot) and by process of elimination you will have your answer. For instance, if you want to do something outside, do you want to get wet? if not then you know windsurfing, surfing, kayaking, sailing, white water rafting, scuba-diving, snorkling and climbing up waterfalls will be out. shimples :lol:

[stewart4364]

Am I not entitled to air my views on the Org. without being shot down in flames? I was only stating a fact. There are many contentious subjects posted on the Org. -- something which I am not totally against as it gives people the opportunity to discuss the topic.

In my humble opinion there are many good topics posted on the Org. open to reasoned discussion but on the other hand there are some posts which are an insult to a person's intelligence. Thankfully these are in the minority.

I forgot to say....wax painting if you consider and arty type of hobby, is highly recomended :D

You need and old travel iron, wax crayons, a clear or white candle and some photo paper
you can create some great art and have lots of fun doing it!

[quote=stewart4364;620017]Am I not entitled to air my views on the Org. without being shot down in flames?

You are more than entitled to air your views stewart4364, I just don't understand why you should choose a thread where someone is making a general enquiry about hobbies to discuss same :roll::roll:?

I'll give you a wee bit of advice, if you click on the "General" forum and then begin a new thread of your own, with regards to spelling, punctuation and other grammatical theories you may wish to discuss, then I'm quite sure that Orgers would be more willing to listen to you !!!

Otherwise please just leave well alone !!!!!!!! (IMO)

[Iffy]

That was very well said Cherokee !
I hope that Sharona has got some good ideas for a new hobby from other posts on this thread...
Please let us know if any of these suggestions come to fruition for you, Sharona ?

[stewart4364]

I do not need any advice from you Cherokee. When I do need advice from you or anyone else I shall take it upon myself to ask.

[twiglet]

Shame on you Stewart4364. One of my pet hates is thread hijackers (even if the subject of your rant is also a personal hate of mine too, that and bad grammer).

I love painting, reading, writing, knitting, embroidery, singing, archery amd just generally creating things. I have been known to escort my OH while he is fishing but prefer indoor activities. I am sure that you will find something and the suggestion of a class or two is a good one.

[stewart4364]

Many people attend night classes where a variety of topics are taught. Some go to pass the time, others to meet new friends or to study a subject to further their knowledge. Why should someone not attend a class where spelling and/or grammar is taught -- they may feel that through no fault of their own a proper grasp of that particular subject was not achieved when at school and now wish to make the necessary improvements. I have taken the opportunity to attend night classes to further my knowledge of a subject I was particularly interested in and may do so again if the need arose.

[Rictina]

I love training my three German Shepherds, they are my world.

[Rie]

fly fishing season is due to start soon why not give it a try?? although my other half says "he aint teaching you"!!
failing that grab yourself a best mate and get on the wii fit chalenging each other, i have found that to be a great hobby and even more fun when wine is added to the mix!

Sharona, pay no heed to those that pick holes in spelling or grammar. As one can tell from Trix's many posts, there is a huge wealth in regional variations and dialects... and they all help to enrich our lives.

Going BACK to the topic of hobbies - my main one is fishing (it can be very restful, being at one with nature), but I also indulge in photography (there are many on the org who will help) and cooking - mostly Indian and Mexican dishes. I also have an allotment and grow a wide range of veggies - it doesn't have to take a huge amount of time.

Hope you find something from all the suggestions that have been made.
:)

Horseriding - never gets dull as you're always learning. Once you get your own you'll never be bored as there's always 'something' to do...
