something to capture your interests, and I can assure you that being an MT is not a hobby. What do you like to do?

do you have a good hobby???
I love stained glass work.....You set aside a certain number of hours to transcribe each day, knowing then you will have time to do something creative and fun and also knowing that your transcription $$ is going to pay for your hobby. But, as I have stated before, after about 30 years of transcribing, I burned out absolutely completely and totally; took a two year hiatus; but now am back full throttle!! 
Get him involved in either a hobby, or doing
volunteer work. Let him do for those less fortunate and maybe his life will seem pretty good. If he feels needed that may change his whole attitude and everything else with just fall into place.
He might also need some adjustments in his meds. It s/l there is some depression involved, but it could just be situational and the counseling will help with that. Meds could possibly diminish his libido and it would be worth talking to his doctor to see if that could be the case in his situation.
Maybe you could make him a list of little things to do to help out, or plan the meals and have recipes on index cards so that he can actually prepare the meal. If he is home all day he needs to at least be doing the daily chores.
Nana needs a hobby
Wow, you sure waste a lot of time getting your anger out at someone who is within her rights to comment on the quality or lack of quality of MTs. Maybe you Nana are a decent MT and they certainly are out there. Can a QA person vent or do you have such a problem with that that you have to write an editorial about it. Get working and get over yourself.
Make my own. Cooking's a hobby.
I'd almost like to be a caterer or chef, but I don't like working evenings or weekends. LOL
MT is profession, not a sloppy hobby. sm
Well said. And that is why I am fed up with the whining. It reflects badly on us all. If someone interested in MT comes on and reads the posts, they are going to think MT is full of whiners who are at the mercy of the companies. They will read posts with simple typos and think you don't have to be precise and professional to do this job. That is not how I want my profession to be viewed, especially when I think of all the hard work I put into this job. So take you typos and whining to a blog, where just those of you with no pride in your profession and no ambition will have to be witness to it.
Glad I'm not the only one. I guess it is a hobby too.
Kind of addicted to looking these days. At least it keeps me off e bay. LOL.
question for all you hobby loving gals
I'm making all my x-mas gifts this year, and I bought some plastic bottles and to decorate them I would like to make them look "frosted" because I just think it looks better. I have looked high and low on how to do this, i'm making scented lotion and I could not find anything on the net. Would you guys know how to do this? Hope I get some answers, thanks!
Cool internet hobby. Give it a try!
Download Google Earth and you will have a blast. You can basically fly anywhere on earth that you want via satellite pictures and then zoom in from above. If you fiddle with the controls at the bottom you can actually tilt the view so that you actually feel like you're flying over at a low altitude. You can type in the address of your childhood home and fly right over. Also, check out some of the wonders of the world. Flying over Rome and the ruins is pretty good. The only problem is that if you're flying over a really green area or if the ground colors are a certain hue, it's blurry. I actually found a backyard swimming pool in Karachi, Pakistan. Whodathunk? I saw mention of it in an online newspaper and it's really fun.
Absolutely! Wonderful hobby and your skills will only improve.
I started knitting, quit for a year when I got discouraged because I couldn't fix my mistakes easily, then went back, determined to learn the craft. For me, what was wonderful was when I automatically could recognize what was right and wrong, and fix it easily. Now, I have more yarn than I could ever use, and more projects started than I'll ever finish. It's a lifetime hobby. There'll never be enough yarn.
Mine say "Thergonomic hand aids". I bought them at Hobby Lobby sm
because I can't find Hand-Eze at my local OfficeMax (live in a small town) any more. These are fingerless gloves made of something like spandex.
I don't know about a website, but Hobby Lobby is a craft store.
I can't type comfortably any more without them - kind of like being uncomfortable in a car without a seatbelt.
