Am I Bored or Simply Boring?

My earnings this morning carry a balance of $19.18. That's exciting. While thinking about the balance I wondered what famous people was born in 1918. Eddy Arnold, the famous country singer, and Betty Ford, wife of Gerald Ford. Has this ever crossed your mind or am I really bored this morning?

I thought I was bored. hahaha Your balance is more interesting than mine to come up with birthdates. I doubt if I would even know of the names born in 1277, which is my balance. :)

I had a good carryover from last month. You'd have to do some research to find those born in 1277...lol Thanks for responding.

I did a little research and nothing come up with names I have heard of. Here is an example: Christina Ebner Guy IV, Count of Saint-Pol Isabella of Mar Martha of Denmark Robert of Naples Smpad of Armenia Galeazzo I Visconti

LOL. I have never thought about my earnings that way. I have thought about the time on a clock though. When I see 6:23 on a clock, I always make a wish because I was born on 6/23. I don't think we are bored or boring. We just have a sense of imagination.

I have a great sense of imagination, so I've been told for years. I don't often put it to good use. Obviously, I didn't earlier this morning either..lol Thanks for responding.

You are very welcome. I think I do also have a good imagination but when I try to put it to good use, it usually loses its steam before it ever takes off the ground LOL. I have good intentions and mean well, but the good imaginary things just seem to fizzle out before I can make something good of it.

CarolBee, you couldn't be boring if you tried lol. Interesting...yes, boring...no! You do come up with some good discussions:-) Lets see, Rita Hayworth was born in 1918, also Spiro Agnew, Ann Landers, Ray Charles, and Pearl Bailey, to name a few more. Each era had it's own super-stars of the time. (My Dad was born that year, and I consider him my OWN personal super-star! :-)

lol Sounds like your just bored this am. I just woke up lil while ago and my kitten is begging me to go back to bed so he could snuggle cause he's cold. Told him I wasn't so he rooted round in the blanket wrapped around me and is now sound asleep. I do wanna go back to bed thou. After pulling 2 allnighters in a row, I'm still tired with 12hrs. sleep.

LOL you sound like a person that doesn't get bored often. Who would have thought of connecting $19.18 with the year 1918? What other important things happened in 1918?

I do get bored pretty fast but find ways to entertain myself. The things I think about or find to do are not always real logical which thoroughly entertains me! I enjoy life. Actually, I only thought about who famous was born in the year 1918 and didn't research anything else. I don't have any idea what made me put the two together. Thanks for responding.
