What Do You Do On the Weekends?

[Yeshuasdaughter]

I've been a member here for a couple years and I've noticed a pattern. On the weekends, hardly anyone seems to post new content. It seems like mid week is the most popular.

So now I'm curious. How do you spend your weekends?

 

[Au Naturel]

Right now, the same thing I do the rest of the week. Being retired, weekends no longer mean anything. Except that a lot of streaming anime drops on Saturday.

I go for walks, I sometimes attend events sometimes related to classic cars, or music... Basically get some fresh air...

This past weekend was four days long because of Canada Day being on Thursday...

Canada Day was at a car show, a rather hot car show

Just went downtown today on Saturday, discovered a free outdoor concert... One goofy wide angle photo...

Sunday morning for me is church, and we are live now, and sometimes on Sunday afternoon I'll wander over to a local flea market, and often get together with a friend later in the afternoon... Next weekend I'll probably go to another nearby city for a major classic car event, maybe stay over one night to enjoy both days of it...

Watching S p o r t s. (and being a armchair coach because what's not fun about yelling at the TV and telling everyone on the team that you know more than them even though you've never played the sport) For legal reasons thats a joke.

I also go to church, and have lunch with family.

I think that you should have shabbas or sabat or whatever you like to say from the culture that you owe fealty too.

Once a week we should set a day aside, that is just for family time, rest and study of philosophy/ spiritual practice.

The shabbas tradition is ancient and venerated. On the special day, one does no work or even cooking.

Friday sundown to Saturday sundown is the Sabbath.

Hey, this is awesome. You got the day off to go to the car show? I remember you said you weren't gonna get to go. I'm so happy for you!

Thursday was a statutory holiday for Canada Day, our shop also had Friday off, plus the weekend off as always... Otherwise I work on Monday to Friday, 3:30 PM to Midnight... So my weekend is basically Friday midnight to Monday afternoon...

And to answer another question - In the classic car world, there are weekend daytime shows, and evening cruise nights, it's the evening cruise nights I'm basically missing, and they are the ones I enjoy the most, just far more dynamic...

Friday sundown to Saturday sundown is the Sabbath.

The Jewish Sages say that there's a little Mitzvah in Saturday night. A blessing. That Shabbat extends to Sunday morning, in fact. So don't rush in to do a ton of chores just because the sun went down. It can wait til morning

 

[SusanLR]

I do the same thing on weekends as any other day.
Being retired, the days are all the same except for business appointments.

 

[Pieceofmind]

The weekends here aren't ever different than any other day for me, I just go anywhere whenever. Half the time I don't even know what day it is. There's day and night, that's it. Time has been flying too, sometimes I think it's going too fast.

cool did not know we always soon as sun goes down rush to do a light clean-up before bed. I do know that the Sabbath is one of his Feast Days and is the day he chooses to meet with his people. Matter of fact most of his miracles in the old and new testament were done on Feast Days from Leviticus 23.

We stay home. We are both retired, so we do things during the week. When everybody else is working. However, that has little to do with posting here. I log on every day and post when I have something to say.

 

[Barymore]

work....maybe work a little less? or do more fun work? or work I dont get around to during the weekend - like bookkeeping. Anyone notice a pattern here *lol*? Welcome to being selfemployed and a single owner company. I do try to keep sundays work free and try to really wind down by reading a good book or going for walks, but it doesnt always work out. But I do get the option to take mini breaks during the week, so it evens out. I actually check in here on the forum quite a bit on weekends.

On weekends, I tend to screw off, drink beer, play games, watch movies, listen to music very loudly since my house is fairly soundproof, basically be anti-productive since my job is fairly stressful. I tend to get my weekly house cleaning done on Thursday afternoons so I can screw off all weekend feeling guilt free. If any of you wanted to spend some time with me watching movies and playing games while getting buzzed on IPAs, I offer an invitation. All of my RL friends have families to spend their time with on weekends, I am the only single guy in my social circle it seems. I also am the only gay person in my RL circle, but that's OK as well. All my local RL friends have wives who would disapprove of their husbands wasting a weekend day getting bombed and playing games with me when they want some time with them. Ah, well. I can't take that personally, so I won't.

since a significant number of our friends and family are not retired like us lots of visiting. Hoping for shutdown to end soon, Then small parties than night life and such

 

[Gerontius]

I listen to music on the radio or the victrola, do some DIY projects, read a book, browse the internet (which I wish I did not do) or maybe go exploring if agoraphobia isn't kicking my teeth in.

Right now college is crushing and I am coming out of an autistic burnout stage while at the same time filled with a strange sort of anemoia that has got me in an agreeably melancholic state listening to the Carter Family's bluegrass/old time radio broadcasts from 1939.

I want someone to share my life with. I am an expendable man & like being one; I want to live for someone, not just live for something.

Shabbat! but more messianic ,as I'm alone, got to recycle or I forget if something's used or not, it's harder to remember when you're the only human in your house celebrating Shabbat, but !I know it prevents many negatives.

So many are alone like this I am finding. I can't even imagine luckily Yah found me a spouse that will follow me anywhere just like we are taught to follow Yeshua.
