Are You As Bored As I Am?
 

Does anyone else suffer with boredom the way I do. I have lots of hobbies which are very diverse and I'm still bored out of my head. Any suggestions for a new hobby or diversion. I'm banging my head on the wall with frustration. Some of the things I've done today are: Baking, Painting, Reading a full book, Writing Poetry, Repairing jewellery, De-fleaing the cat & dog, playing poker & online games, watching my other half play poker, updating Facebook, being on here sticking my penny in and cleaning the house/yard. Even the pigeons are complaining because the kitchen roof is too clean.

You could come and weed our garden tomorrow if you like ;)

Re: Are You As Bored As I Am?
 

in a word NO.:D

Re: Are You As Bored As I Am?
 

I love gardening, just my arm won't do it. Blasted nuisance really. I have a rescue poodle who likes nothing better than digging holes in soil though :D

Re: Are You As Bored As I Am?
 

We've already got 2 cats who could probably give your poodle a run for his money with digging :D

Re: Are You As Bored As I Am?
 

Ooh you haven't met a poodle like this one. Stupid thing thinks he's a cat. Copies everything my cat does right down to using the litter tray. That's the problem of rescuing nuerotic animals and I've rescued loads over the years.

I am unable to get out much these days but I'm never bored, I find plenty of things to occupy me from the internet to crosswords, reading, TV ect

Re: Are You As Bored As I Am?
 

Never ... I always head on over to this site when ever I get bored :D

Working my way through the list quite quickly ;)

how on earth do you find time to get bored :confused:
i wouldnt do that lot in a week
never mind a day LOL :rolleyes:

Re: Are You As Bored As I Am?
 

This is a serious answer .... GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!!!
Swap all those activities (I wouldnt call de-fleaing the cat a hobby) and swap them for one thing that gets you out of the hosue and your problem will be solved :)

Re: Are You As Bored As I Am?
 

That sounds like good advice to me.

As long as it is fine in the morning I intend to cut some grass in the park. I might even do my own lawn first :)

Re: Are You As Bored As I Am?
 

It wasn't de-fleaing as such. I just like to go through his fur and he loves it and I certainly get immense satisfaction from feeling his fur. I do get out of the house (neighbours and I regularly play card & board games), but I still feel bored. Must admit I don't sleep very long (4 hours average) so I have to do lots of things. My mind is far too active I think.:D

Re: Are You As Bored As I Am?
 

If your that bored why dont you get a job.

Re: Are You As Bored As I Am?
 

If this problem continues into winter, may I suggest shovelling snow out of my driveway. Good exercise, lots of (very) fresh air, and when you finish, the snowplow burns by and fills it in again; so, the fun is self-replenishing. And as a bonus, the odd Polar Bear may drop by for a chat;):D

If you read the other threads on the forum you would not make comments like that:mad: I will point you to the thread entitled "Do You Feel Betrayed" and if you read it you may be a little more understanding!!!

Re: Are You As Bored As I Am?
 

I lost my job recently and I'm looking for another job, but it's not easy when you have spondylosis. It is noticable when you can't use your arm and you fall over fresh air, so I can't hide it like I used too.

Re: Are You As Bored As I Am?
 

And you can do all that while suffering from Spondylosis?
Get a second opinion.:confused:

Re: Are You As Bored As I Am?
 

That comment just got you karma mate.

You have of course just raised a very interesting point.

Re: Are You As Bored As I Am?
 

Yes I can because I've got certain aids to help me. Spondylosis is a degenerative disease which I have learnt to cope with over the last 10 years. Just because I find it difficult to do things and I may not do them as well as I used to, I will not in any way, shape or form stop trying. I'm not the sort of person to roll over and give in.

Re: Are You As Bored As I Am?
 

Thanks for that Neil.

I suffer from Polymyalgia rheumatica which if treated early can be cured in a couple of years.However it took 22 years to find out the problem so I am stuck with it.:(:(

Re: Are You As Bored As I Am?
 

I have spondylitis in all 7 neck joints. (verified by xray)
I have/had 2 numb fingers on my left hand which the doc said was a nerve damaged by being trapped in those neck joints.

The doc was WRONG!

I have embarked on self therapy using nutritional supplements and the damaged nerve is healing. My ring finger is now almost normal and the little finger has some sensation now.
