Either way, yes, it's way too expensive anyway. I don't get how people have the money for it. <BR/><BR/>Unfocused: I've never tried rock-climbing. I do have a mild fear of heights (yes, I know it makes no sense with this hobby idea), so I don't know how well I'd do with that. Not to mention the strength required.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03125852166745378716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777900991557618049.post-81678000599161580942009-03-16T08:22:00.000-05:002009-03-16T08:22:00.000-05:00If I had time to add a hobby, it would be rock cli...If I had time to add a hobby, it would be rock climbing, no question. I've climbed indoor rock walls on 5-10 occasions and loved it. I hung on to our completely frivolous membership at the Lifetime Fitness in Skokie for far too long because I couldn't bear to give up the wall just as Unfocused Girl was getting old enough to do it with me, but finally had to admit that lack of time and too much distance made it a waste of money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777900991557618049.post-63844993047354988482009-03-15T19:47:00.000-05:002009-03-15T19:47:00.000-05:00I couldn't come up with anything until the assignm...I couldn't come up with anything until the assignment was almost over, so I'm posting a make-up this week :-).<BR/><BR/>My husband wanted to be a pilot during high school - and then he discovered his motion-sickness problem, and there went that idea. It is an insanely expensive hobby, at any rate - but it would probably be a lot of fun.Florindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09789402061034734894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777900991557618049.post-28216964355326193892009-03-13T08:52:00.000-05:002009-03-13T08:52:00.000-05:00DC: Sure.

It's no different than collecting stamps or coins in my opinion. <BR/><BR/>Karen: Yeah, she does a good job on finding good ideas for me. :) <BR/><BR/>Jenn: I should have mentioned how you guys went out for a nice dinner while I was flying and didn't get me anything. :)Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03125852166745378716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777900991557618049.post-69183437461737831822009-03-12T23:22:00.000-05:002009-03-12T23:22:00.000-05:00Yes, I think your mother-in-law's exact comment wa...Yes, I think your mother-in-law's exact comment was, "Thanks a lot Jennifer.
