OHH MY GOD, where do I start.
First off Boats are for SAILING, yeah with those big cloth things. Best non polluting relaxing, challenge, & hobby I've ever found.
Next, diveing, well snorkling is cool, but can't afford the gear for the deep stuff. If it's not in the top 30 feet, who cares.
(OK OK it's cool & maybe someday)
StSanta, judgeing by your attitude you'll never have to worry about marriage.
Yes the commitment makes a difference, a HUGE one. One that can only be experienced, not discribed, discussed, or analized. Ask that black lab again, it's been committed to you for 14 years.
On the other hand there is no need to rush into it either. I think too many people think they need to get married & settled down too soon in life. If it happens that way, well fine. But if it doesn't, shrug, forget it.
I waited till I was 44 before finding that special someone. We've lived more in some ways in 4 years than most couples do in 20.
It's worth doing right if it's worth doing at all. And yes for 98% of most females doing it right means a ring on the finger.
As for me, well sailing, training dogs (although I'm dogless right now, looking at getting one soon. Considering building a sailboat, but can't afford strip planked. Will have to make do with stitch & glue.
Computers, games, fishing, hunting, boating (all sorts). I agree that all jetski's should be banned. Would love to learn rock climbing, diveing, flying, glideing, sky diveing. Just havn't found the time & the money at the same place yet.
