What are some simple, non sexual, inexpensive, ways to have fun that you would recommend to ease boredom on a lazy hot summer's day?

Asked by ucme (50047points) April 16th, 2010

As the weekend draws upon us, looking back on the week gone by care to share what was fun for you however fleeting that may have been?

Going out to our daughter’s house for hubby’s BD…eating THE most wonderful chicken fajitas, drinking a few rounds…just being with family & having such a good time. Nothing beats that.

@DarkScribe…& was that a fleeting or lingering pleasure?

DarkScribe's avatar

Editing the question once it has been answered will call for retaliation – you realise that?

BBQing and drinks with your homies and loved ones.

If you lived in the South I would say Frog Giggin !

CMaz's avatar

Frog Giggin! Yea!

Being in the south. I prefer to just lay at the beach all day. Go Frog Giggin at night. lol

Pretty_Lilly's avatar

If you make tiny little saddles,put them on raccoons strap frogs in & you can combine Giggin & Coon hunting ! Multi-tasking redneck style !

wilma's avatar

I have no idea about this “Frog Giggin”. ???

I read in the swing in my backyard, go for a walk down a country road.
Take a walk in the woods.
Sit on my front porch and watch the world (or at least my neighborhood) go by.

A picnic!

In your own yard or a beautiful park or natural setting, preferably by water, a lake or river.

I’m a picnic-aholic.

Fill your basket with cheeses and breads and fruit and wine, stay till sunset or longer.

There is nothing more enjoyable than a day in nature with good food and wine and company!

Have a moonlight picnic too, as often as you can!

@OneMoreMinute

Moonlight picnics are the best, ever!

I have a great grassy yard on a hill across the road from acres of raw land, I have wowed more than one date with my moonlight picnics on the hill. lol

OneMoreMinute's avatar

@Coloma I can even see a poem meandering its way into your next pic-a-nic basket Boo Boo!

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille I’d probably keel overboard at the sight of a dead actor on my decking.Be like a scene from The Fog,creepy.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme -I’d stuff him like a chicken,set him in the passenger seat and dream of what could’ve been—and take him waterskiing to break up the monotony of all that dreaming—;)

ucme's avatar

God rest that poor bugger’s soul if that fateful ocassion ever did arise.I can see rigor mortis being an issue, he’d be a little stiff by now.

@Dibley Well I can dream can’t I? I mean you never know maybe one or two days, fingers crossed.

Sophief's avatar

@ucme There must be something going on I don’t know about, my boyfriend thinks it will be nice tomorrow also.

janbb's avatar

@AstroChuck Oh – you naughty boy!

@ucme -Just bend them into a seated position and they are very portable :)

ucme's avatar

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ ucme-Lol! Tip them over and they make great step stools!

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille When naked in that position a handy place to park one’s bicycle,assuming skidmarks aren’t an issue.

Target shooting. Taking out your frustrations on a paper target and honing a useful skill at the same time.

ubersiren's avatar

Play in a sprinkler and have a cookout. After the sun goes down, play jail break. If this sounds too childish, add tequila. I think it’s fun with or without.

nebule's avatar

looking for identical strands of grass

jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities's avatar

One of my favorite things to do is to grab my camera and go for a hike.

I also have to agree with @stranger_in_a_strange_land; target, trap, or sporting clay shooting is also good fun, and a great way to blow off some steam.

My dog and I take the trail to the river by a swing bridge. He has a great shaggy coat and likes to just stand in the water to cool off. Someone put up a rope swing on the other side of the river but I can’t figure out a way to convince my dog to cross the bridge to the swing. We just hang out in the river and watch the animals and occasional biker go by.

We know it’s time to go home when the bears show up.

@Coloma I was thinking about your moonlight picnic idea while driving behind a boat with the name Moomba on the back.
And I knew then THAT’S what I’m going to coin for moonlight picnic! A Moomba!

(wikipedia just says it’s a type of boat)

Ron_C's avatar

@OneMoreMinute I have a story for you. We used to have a ski boat that we kept at a lake in the Allegheny National Forest. On summer night, my wife and I, decided to have a romantic evening on the lake. We drove to a deserted inlet, anchored set up candles around the boat and had a picnic with a couple bottles of wine. Well, things got pretty romantic, then hot and heavy. Just when we were “having the most fun” a bright light appeared over the trees accompanied by a loud roar. Then the light hit our boat, hesitated and moved on. At first I thought we encountered our first UFO, then we realized that it was the National Guard on weekend drills.

We were embarrassed, the mood was lost and I could never talk my wife into sex on the boat again.

The moral of the story is to find out when and where weekend drills are held and get a boat that has a cover.

OneMoreMinute's avatar

@Ron_C What a great story! You’ll just have to talk your wife into another boat Moomba, only with a happily ever after ending without ANY intruders of the fourth (nat guard) kind!!!

make it right!

Ron_C's avatar

Sorry, we can’t sold the the boat and my wife if vehemently against sex on the water. As a matter of fact, no sex outside, you don’t even want to hear about the time we were interrupted by a bear.

OneMoreMinute's avatar

@Ron_C Yes I do!!! Tell us about the Yogi bear!

Ron_C's avatar

@OneMoreMinute it was a big ass black bear, not Yogi and I think I told enough embarassing stories for now, sorry.
