I still ride my loaded grocery cart down the parking lot to my car after each trip. Itβs the little things in life.

You've got the wheels right there, no reason not to use them.
Hell yeah! I thought I was the only person who did that. It's fun and efficient.
Walking/balancing on curbs, retaining walls, downed trees in the forest - pretty much anything.
Running up stairs on all fours, like a monkey I am 40 years old
Congrats on still being able to bend over at 40! I'm 2 years from 30 and everytime I bend over something pops lol.
If you're not stretching daily, you're gonna hate life. I'm also not stretching daily so uhhh do as I say not as I do? Lol
I can recomend to do just something easy. Find easiest and shortest routine (that lasts 2 minutes, literally) and do it in the morning.
Since I startet it, I feel much much better. It is not like full exercise, but at least muscles don't hurt as much.
I do:
- Head and Shoulder Rolls x5 to each side
- Hip Circles:l x5 to each side
- Arm Circles x5 to each side
- squats x10
- some others similar warm up exercises when I feel like it (ex. malasana squat)
Idea is to move every muscle in my body. It is not hard, lasts 2-3 minutes but makes my day few percents nicer.
It's not that often that I'm in a car I'm not driving anymore, but when I'm a passenger you can bet your ass I'm imagining a little ninja dude running along side the car, doing sick ninja flips over stuff on the side of the road.
when you go shopping, push off with your trolley and pull yourself up to go for a little ride down an empty isle. 40m and I still do it
Came here to post something similar. I'm in my 30s but can't resist going for a little "cart-ride" in the parking lot when going back to my car.
I don't get to do it much anymore, but watching cartoons on Saturday morning.
Oh man, Saturday morning cartoons just hit the spot! A bowl of cereal with the addition of a cup of coffee.
Stepping on crunchy leaves
Can't help it either.. and when you get a real good one, that's all dry and super loud and crunchy... yes
I have summers off from work (am a teacher), which I COULD be using to get tons of errands done, renovating the house, working out, etcetc. However, I am currently spending it sleeping in, playing too many video games, staying up late, crafting, reading, etc, which is exactly what I did during summer as a kid as well. It's been nice :)
I (38 m) still have a blanky I sleep with - mostly because my cat will only sleep in my bed if it's there, she will (mostly) only sit in my lap if it's there and she pretty much just hangs out in whatever room it's in... Yeah... It's her blankly, I'm just its mode of transport to make sure she hangs out with me.
It probally smells like you, so when you are there and the blankie is there, its like its 2x you, which is what she likes.
The swings.
Some of my fondest memories are of swings. Not just from childhood either. I vividly remember an intense session in university, and another from only a few years back was special for a variety of reasons. And now, my daughter is just old enough to really start appreciating them. I don't think I'll stop swinging until I'm incapable.
I don't think I ever really stopped being a child, cuz I still do pretty much everything I did when I was 10. lol
I watch cartoons, I play with toys (mostly Lego) and video games, I blow dandelions, I do the hand out the window thing in a car, I'll dress up like a ninja and prowl around in the dark, etc.
Edit: Reading this a second time, makes it sound like I am Charlie from It's Always Sunny...
Me and my wife (no kids) have recently decided to do the 'stuff you enjoyed being a kid' type outings. Such as dino parks, castles, zoos, theme parks.
If you are an adult having kids is usually how you end up in those places and we decided just to do those things for ourselves.
Speaking through a ventilator to sound like a robot.
ITT: people climbing their stairs like a 4 legged animal
Riding the grocery carts through the store if nobody is around to hit. Ive slammed into a display once, took almost 5 min to get it back together, and no employees came to help the entire time, but i dont blame them.
This is more of a highschool childish, but occasionally I like to smoke weed and stay up till 3am playing video games. Then call in sick for work the next day of course
I still play with my old Legos, albeit very rarely.
I just bought new Legos!
What kit is it? It's been ages since I last got any new, my favourite one was the Bionicle series.
The plants and flowers. A cool way to decorate that doesn't die off and always a conversation starter. Also check out https://www.lightmybricks.com/.
Those Lego Pac-Man Arcade, Boutique Hotel and Orchid kits have my wallet running for its dear life :')
I know how you feel, Lego saw me (and all the other kids of the 80's) coming. Ghostbusters, DeLorean, Optimus... all they needed was a Knight Rider. They need to let up so I can contribute to my retirement fund again.
Blowing the seeds off of dandelion flowers into the wind :)
What you now hear is the sound of a few generations of American dads weeping for their lawns
If you want a boring, pretty much dead monoculture of a patch of grass, you gotta work for it. ;) I think that real nature, including useful plants for bees and other critters have much more value. Children should play on lush meadows with flowers and interesting insects to discover, instead of a mentally and visually dull organic carpet, that is merely a facade for wannabe-perfection.
Totally agree with you. As small as my patch of lawn is, I've still thrown loads of clover, nasturtium, compost, etc. I'm trying to help it become a self-sustaining ecosystem, but I'll admit, I'm kinda winging it.
Daydreaming about dragons
The adult version of this is crafting your own DnD world, and personally I spend a lot of time considering how to craft the perfect little scaly friend to inhabit it
Mine is writing stories about dragons
Laugh at farts, fart noises, fart jokes. Farts are funny heh heh
I developed very late. I didn't start laughing at farts until my late 20s. I missed some good years.
Even though it's more of a stress reducer and to help me calm down, I like to snuggle and cuddle with my favorite stuffed rabbit. It also brings me back somewhat to when I was a kid and had tons of stuffed animals.
One of the girls I was dating forgot to hide her stuffed animals when I came over for a movie night. She was embarrassed, but I thought it was really sweet. It shows the more human aspect of people :)
When I started dating my current BF years later, and saw that he had two stuffed animals on his bed that he sleeps with each night, I knew he was a keeper!
I drink A LOT of chocolate milk
My brother, careful of the diabeetus.
47 and I still try to get out to a skatepark at least twice a week.
No idea how long I'm going to be able to do it, but I'm going to make every session count.
You'd be amazed. You'll probably be doing it up to 60, as long as you don't injur yourself.
So, as long as I don't don't injure myself.... in 37 years of skating....
Are there any other options I could consider? Cause that ship sailed a long time ago :)
Honestly though, while its forced me to change my style of skating, I enjoy it as much now as I ever have. Learning new tricks, getting a solid whole body work out, meeting and hanging out with new people, it's all still there.
Sandwich biscuits (like Oreo and the likes, but there are plenty local brands) are extremely popular among kids where I live. I still eat them, the same way as I did as a kid: split them in halves, eat the filling-less halves, and then join the halves with filling so I get to eat biscuits with 2x more filling.
