    So, since The Parson set this up, why don't we see what we do in our off-time.

    I've always been into model railroads, but our current house does not really afford me any room to get into that at the moment. I used to be a more avid backyard astronomer. I still occasionally dabble with my boys and their Lego. A fair bit of time is taken up on some fora and reading blogs. I've been kind of boring otherwise.

    Dani You're probably fine.

    I've been a gamer since the days of Pong, pretty much. I've dabbled in consoles off and on but PC has always been my first love (Commodore 64, anyone?). I really enjoy MMORPGs and have gotten heavily into City of Heroes, World of Warcraft, and Elder Scrolls Online. Offline I just play regular RPGs, my favorite being Skyrim (an Elder Scrolls game also). I use our big screen TV as my computer monitor, because watching TV is definitely NOT one of my hobbies.

    I also make soap, my own skin care, love herbalism and home remedies, as well as essential oils which I use with enthusiasm in all of my products (although I'm not a fanatic like some).

    I've been a voracious reader since I was 5 years old, and love to write (and don't we all?). Religion and theology are my passion and I read mostly nonfiction --- books, articles ... anything I can get my hands on, really, about whatever subject that fascinates me at the time.

    I got a camera for Christmas in 2015 and have been an avid hobbyist photographer since I took my first picture with it.

    Hubby and I are part of a medieval re-creation group that's very into sword fighting (bamboo, rapier, and steel/heavy armor), archery, and arts & sciences, medieval style. It's a nationwide organization called the Adrian Empire. I serve as the chronicler of our local chapter (meaning I take all the pictures :D).

    Reading and golf, when I have time, which is not nearly often enough.

    My wife and I keep a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle going almost constantly

    I haven't tried golf yet. And I'm afraid too. I may get addicted.

    I haven't had a rapier in my hand since I was a teen. Looks like you're going in for the Coup lance'.

    As long as you are at least 7 yards away, S&W beats rapier.

    TrustGzus What does this button do? Staff Member

    Is it just the angle or are you actually grabbing the opponent's rapier?

    My main hobbies are reading and singing. Read a lot. The community choir I sing with will be starting back up soon. Do have a couple games on Facebook that I play.
