Can you come up with 100 things you like to do that are free (or nearly free)? I tried to do this this morning, and I've only got about 30 so far. It's harder than it sounds! Anyone game to give it a go?

I was starting to think about this and then I thought . . .
Are you talking totally free or free once you get there? Because totally free, I am thinking a walk; a walk to the neighborhood playpark, playing outside (but then you throw in the ball or the bubbles and you paid for those)?
I think I am overanalyzing what "free" means!!

That's why I said "nearly" free. I'd say blowing bubbles is nearly free, as is a backyard campout (even though you once had to pay for the tent). Basically, something you can do without it affecting your pocketbook.

I'm trying but I can't get past 20. I'll keep working at it here.

This one sounds like fun. Maybe I can come up with something to do this weekend from the list.

I've got 61. Pretty sure I can make it, but I have to leave now. I'll finish it later.

Are we supposed to share our lists? I think it'd help me to see everyone else's ideas.

You got to 61! Wow!

I'll have to try. I'm always very slow with these lists.
