Guest C**Tra****er Report post Posted June 18, 2013 I generally have a lot of meetings in the run of a week, so escaping home or work during the weekdays is pretty easy. On the weekend is best to get in a round of golf when you can. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zcmy 280 Report post Posted June 18, 2013 The excuses I use most often when i need to get away from family and friends and do stuff like see an SP: 1. I need to sharpen my sword (I have a katana that's been in my family for the last hundred or so years, and it needs constant maintenance) be back in a couple hours. 2. We need a hoe. I'm going to home depot to get one. Be back later. 3. I'm going to Toronto for the Mardi Gras celebration at my sister's. Be back in 2 days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ice4fun 78407 Report post Posted November 21, 2013 For the most part I schedule my regular meetings with a wonderful lady when I am at work and can slip away without any concern for my wife finding out. For meeting outside regular work hours...you just need to schedule your fun for times when you know she is busy. Who would have thought that a harmless hobby that brings such joy could turn me into such a competent liar. I never considered politics in the past but more and more I seem to like lying and screwing nice people..... maybe I should be in the Senate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest c**io**m7 Report post Posted November 21, 2013 99% of my play-time was during the work day. I found there was no better preparation for long and boring meetings. I walked into many meeting rooms smiling so much that people were certain I enjoyed my job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ChantalSummers Report post Posted November 22, 2013 I'm a very occasional hobbyist so I don't necessarily have to sneak. But as for being an MA, only 3 of my friends know what I do. That being said, it's getting tougher and tougher to explain to friends and family why I'm not available on weekend afternoons and some evenings. Mainly I've been saying I am working at my other job. So far it's working hehe lol. But I wonder how far it'll take me sometimes... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
someguy 67067 Report post Posted April 12, 2014 You could setup a regular poker night with the guy's. This way any of the guy's can play poker or use it as an excuse to get away for an hour or two to have some playtime. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clearlycanadian7583 1199 Report post Posted March 27, 2015 I personally don't hobby when in a serious relationship, but why couldn't you just say you were going out? The more complicated the lie aren't you more likely going to get caught? Posted via Mobile Device Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kmwq 5477 Report post Posted March 27, 2015 We live very independent lives so there are many days, nights where we are off doing our own stuff. I'm at the gym often or travelling for work or she's out and I'm free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempted Monk 5057 Report post Posted March 27, 2015 Hmm.. Confession would be a good reason to spend some time out alone. In contrary to Home Depot, it is auricular act and nobody can accompany you. Just thank Lord for the opportunity afterwards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoolCucumber 2610 Report post Posted March 27, 2015 I travel a lot for work, so I either hobby while on a trip or I tell my SO that I am going away for work and then book a hotel room on the other side of town and hobby in town. I do this about once a month. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
someguy 67067 Report post Posted December 17, 2015 I tend to like have sessions at noon time on my lunch break. Just make up the time by working late. Or just say that service was slow at the restaurant. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

50 Shades Raven 31380 Report post Posted December 17, 2015 last minute Christmas shopping! This works especially well at this time of the year, lol If the wife wants to come with you, tell her it would spoil the surprise if she were to see where you are shopping. (of course, you have to have a small token of affection hidden away at your work place/vehicle/home so that a 'surprise' can actually be made.) This also works at Valentine's Day. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
