My kittens.
You can never get bored with kittens in your home.

Excellent come-back, smike!

I once had a guy PM me offering to come to my house and do my housework for me in the nude....I was quite tempted!

There are different kinds of boring, arent there? My dad used to tell us kids if we were bored it was because we were being boring....in other words, get off your lazy arse and do something constructive.
However, I find books on quantum physics and the history of Bosnia extremely boring because those subjects simply do not interest me.
Ditto the washing up, hoovering, ironing etc!
I've met some extremely sexy men who once I got talking with them found them to bore the arse off me, talking about subjects I had no interest in.
So, I think the key to curing boredom is doing something that interests you, and of course, as Hannah has pointed out, you cant always do that.
At the moment I am getting a tad bored because the things I usually do to pass the time are barred from me with this broken wrist at the moment.

vtwinster and chooch, I am so glad its not just me then. I've been known to do both....

Han, if you still have problems with your leg...this might sound daft but dont be put off....get in touch with organisations that do leisure activities for disabled people, like carriage driving, RDA, even archery can be just as fun sitting down!
What I used to do was volunteer as a helper, that way I got to do stuff and didnt feel like a 'disabled activities user' if you know what I mean.
A gammy leg shouldnt preclude you from doing stuff you enjoy, hook out my old thread in the dating section about things to do on a date...
My problem at the mo is that its my left wrist and I am left handed, and chipped a bit off the pointy end of my elbow and it hurts like hell still.

Put your coat on and go for a walk.
Or find an interesting book to read.
Or start going to evening classes.
Visit an elderly neighbor who is housebound, alone in this world and very very lonely.

To be bored once in a while is understandable and okay, but if you admit to being bored so often there is no real excuse, get off your lazy arse and do summat about it!!

Ah Red, my post was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, I could hear my mother's voice when I wrote that last bit! (hence the )
How right you are about alot of youngsters these days, in my day you didnt get time to contemplate your navel!
Both my sons stopped cross-stitching when my eldest's then-girlfriend took the mickey, and it was their dad not me who taught them!
My son the other night when there was nowt of interest on telly donned a rainmac and went for a bike ride - his fiancee later told me he's quite nuts and she'd stayed at home and went on msn all evening complaining of being bored witless and how crazy he is.....yet he came back full of happy tales to tell about what he saw and did on his travels in the rain.
I am glad to say both my sons know how to sew buttons, knit and darn socks, but they still see it as a boring chore when there are exciting playstation games to be played!

Mangles are wonderful inventions!
I wish I had one now.

My son's favorite expression:
"I haven't laughed so much since granny caught her tits in the mangle".....not sure why I always laugh at that?!
