My cure for boredom

When I'm bored like I am now I'm constantly sticking my head in the fridge looking for things to cook and nibble on. When I'm done eating and drinking way to much I go wonder down the street to check out the Thrift Stores even though I really don't have any money to spend or do I need anything. What's your remedy for boredom?

Before I always play facebook games but I switched to reading again which is my favorite hobby. But when I learn about mylot I spend my boring hours in joining the discussion. It is fun and you also earn. after I get tired doing this a knit scarf and then sleep.;)

I enjoy writing or learning something new. I always feel like I should be doing something productive when I get bored. It's always good to look around stores though; like you said. have a good day

I wish I had more money so I could actually buy stuff instead of mostly just look at things. I buy little things for a couple dollars only. Shopping could be a expensive habit that I can't afford

To be honest..there are not a lot of boring moments for me. I always have something that needs to be done. If I do have any time, I do my oil painting or read a good book. The computer too...that can keep me busy.

We only have 1 computer so we take turns on it, he can sit there for hours and hours but after about an hour or so I'm done with it. I check my e-mails talk to a few friends, play some games then I get bored with that too.

Being bored is one of the things that I hate hehehe... especially if I dont have money too.. Oh no.... But when I get bored, I usually get myself busy like cleaning the house while listening to the radio. Internet surfing too, one of my hobbies. But what I love the most is spending time with my bed hahaha... SLEEPING :)

I don't like to sleep on my days off as a matter of fact I get up around 4am even though I don't have to work. Sometimes that's not good cause by 7am I'm done with everything I need to do and then the boredom sets in. Having no money to go out is a problem that's for sure.

I too used to nibble a lot. I have moved to a lodge to work in the past two months. Unofortunately we can only eat during meal times. I started smoking when I was bored which is very very bad. I'm trying to quit now. I just try to keep myself busy. I read, watch movies, scrapbook, make cards, post on mylot, and I'm taking some upgrading for school online. Between that socializing and working I'm pretty full up.

Good for you,except the smoking part. I used to smoke for almost 25 years and now I've quit for over 2 years. The problem is we only have 1 computer so we take turn on it so when it's his turn he stays on it for hours and hours that's another reason I get bored, he gets so into his stuff he doesn't even hear me talking.

I do do a lot of walking, sometimes I wonder through out my complex just to get out for a while. If I had a car I would have more options for doing things.

I surf the web, really. When I can't find anything to hold my attention for long, I'll read. Sometimes I'll just watch some TV. I eat when I'm bored, too, although not as much as when I'm upset. I've been working on it, though, and trying just to drink water when I'm bored or upset.

There are lots of things I want to do on my list. When I find myself stop doing something, I usually just move on to next task. But if I don't feel like doing anything on my list, I guess it is when boredom strikes me. Eating often is not what I would do since I eat all the time. But I may play some games, turn on my MSN to look for friends to chat, or I may browse some interesting pages on the Internet. If I don't go online, and if I am extremely bored, I will pick up a NewScientist and read it thoroughly.

I lost 30 pounds in the last year so right now I'm OK. Sometimes I'm glad I'm only home for 2 days a week or I surely gain all my weight back.

I also find myself checking the fridge every 10 minutes for food. I sometimes just lay on the couch and see if there is anything good on TV. If not, watching a movie can sometimes cheer you up. Also you can search the web for any kind of fun game to play and pass time with.

Gaming sites like addictinggames.com and armorgames.com can keep you busy for awhile if you are into that type of thing. Other sites like i-am-bored.com or break.com have funny pictures and videos among other things that can also keep you busy for awhile.

My guilty boredom solver is facebook games. However, I don't have much free time to be bored. Maybe I should read more... I have lots of half finished books.
