I've been working on my hobbies more and I've seemed to have discovered a new hobby. Casual computer games that I get paid to play. Another hobby is going on long walks in the mornings.


Could you please tell me what you have to do to get paid to play computer games?

Thank you very much

I do like eating out but I wouldn't call that a hobby. Our eating out hasn't been that affected. My girlfriend's been getting her mom & brother to take us shopping. The buses are still running but they can throw passengers off if they show/display any symptoms & Cass coughs a lot due to asthma & acid reflux so we don't feel safe ridding buses rite now. Anyways Cass's mom & brother usually stop at a drive-thru on the way back to our place when they take us shopping. I pay for all of us to eat so I am spending more money to eat but we only stop at fast-food places so I haven't been paying for me & Cass to eat out at more expensive places which we would only do occasionally.
I like going for walks too but I also wouldn't define that as a hobby. I only go walking occasionally thou. I should do it more often to improve my health & weight but I will go for a walk later today.

And before you all go "there's this wonderful new invention called the internet, you can do your (clothes) shopping online for the rest of your life", stop right there. As a person who loves shopping and browsing, sitting in front of a screen to do my clothes shopping does not give me the same thrill as actually walking around stores, trying clothes on, and being around other people.
I can understand not wanting to do cloths shopping online. One major issue with buying cloths online is that you cant feel & see how well things fit you. I had a pair of pants rip on me a couple years ago cuz I gained a lot of weight during the summer & 1ce the weather got cold I didn't have any pants that fit me well. I went shopping for new pants after & I found some that were lose on me & those had the exact same measurements on the tag as the one that ripped. The only real difference was the brand & the style of jeans they were. I noticed that before with pants & other cloths where different brands & different styles fit differently & I need different measurements & sizes for different 1s. Apparently the metric & imperial measurement systems are NOT universal & vary by the different countries/areas they're made :o :x
