Bored bored bored bored bored bored!!!!!!!

[Peacetrain]

It has only been a week, and I am bored bored bored.. And my child is grown.. I cannot imagine how families with children are taking this time of separation from everyone else, because of the Covid 19 virus.


How bored am I??


I am actually missing the Democratic Primaries forum of January where everyone was pulling their hair out about who was going to be our nominee..

I almost miss the "Disqualifying" posts. almost.. well not quite.. but for sure I am

BORED

[tblue37]

1. I read all the time, so this is just normal for me. nt

[hangaleft]

29. Same here, blue :)

[relayerbob]

2. Wow.

I've been retired for seven years. home most of the time, and I have so much to fill my days, not counting posting that I can't imagine being bored. Books, music (listening and playing), nature walks, hobbies, gardening, home projects, and on and on.

[Blue_true]

43. Similar mindset here. Even on my "down" days, I am doing plenty of activities. nt

3. I am not looking forward to next week when I will be in the house

I did all my food shopping for next week. No excuse to go out. I plan on doing cleaning out projects. I work these jobs where we clean out peoples homes when they move to assisted living. One lady lived in an apartment for 79 years, the dust and stuff I unearthed was astounding. Every time I do that job I plan on a cleaning out rooms in my own home. Next week hall closet and laundry room. If this continues on my house will be less cluttered. My husband says he likes me doing that job because I clear out own my home.

4. Wanna make masks?

Go to makesmasks.slack.com

[treestar]

17. That is a way to help.

We need more of that. I am bad with hands and sewing. But thinking how there is a way to help.

[Dem2theMax]

9. I started watching Mad Men again.

Must be the seventh time. Am totally enjoying it!
It's something to look forward to every day.

[northoftheborder]

11. Watching Mad Men for the first time!

Don Draper proves to be a total cad over and over. Betty is a psycho. Peggy is interesting - has grown as a character. Sally is a good little actress. Most of the shows are interesting, and there is a different story line every time.

[Dem2theMax]

21. Enjoy! Like I said, this is probably my seventh time of watching the entire series.

It's like peeling back an onion. Every time you watch it, you get deeper and deeper into these characters. And you understand them more and more.

I have a friend whose father was in the advertising business, during the same time that Mad Men takes place. She said Mad Men is the real deal.

6. This is disqualifying. TOTALLY DISQUALIFYING. Someone needs withdraw now.

[Peacetrain]

19. ROFL!!!!!

I needed a good laugh

15. well she is certainly a charmless person nt

[Codeine]

25. Love it.

I’ll never understand the notion of boredom.

[OhZone]

8. My SO and I are WFH so

we're busy busy busy.

And even if we stay home, the weekend is gonna feel like a weekend!

[unblock]

10. Mini-unblock said the same thing. So we made him read Anne frank's diary

Just to give him some perspective.

Imagine being stuck in an attic, no internet, not being able to make noise.

We've got it good by comparison.

[marlakay]

12. We have come full circle from bored to restless

To bickering to acceptance. And now we are sitting here happily having happy hour after walking the dog and mowing the lawn.

[Baitball Blogger]

13. My poor delusional daughter thinks that if it goes over 2 months people

are going to stop cooperating. She's a Millennial. So I think it's going to take a lot of PR talk to prepare them.

[gibraltar72]

14. Used to tell our kids. You're not bored you're boring.

My daughter always would find something to do after that. My son would pout a little then find something interesting.

[MerryBlooms]

16. Bored means immature. I'm guessing the OP is in jest.

I haven't even been able to take a breath yet, just trying to get our meds, groceries, cupboards and freezer in order, etc... We all have hobbies ranging from jewelry making to greeting card design. I can't imagine being bored. There is ALWAYS something to do. Cooking, cleaning, organizing, painting, sewing, crafts, gardening, especially now that it's spring.

[keithbvadu2]

18. One can always find something to pass the time.

[Peacetrain]

20. You are the winner of the best post in the thread

You know there is a "grain" of truth in that

[tavernier]

22. Well then they can't possibly give you a correct calorie count.

I knew there was a reason I was getting fat!

[MoonlitKnight]

24. Like this?

[underpants]

27. Vyvyan!!!!!

What won't it go off?!?!

[MineralMan]

26. When I was about 14 years old, I told my mother I was bored. It was the last time.

She walked me into the laundry room, told me how the machines worked and said, "OK. Laundry is now your job. That should keep you occupied."

I never complained of being bored again. And I'm still doing my own household's laundry every week.

[LiberalBrooke]

31. Whenever we said we were bored, my mom gave us a chore to do.

We quickly learned to find something to occupy ourselves. Now for me, checking out ebooks from the library is the best.

[MineralMan]

32. That's real parenting.

Both of my parents were less than tolerant of whining from me and my siblings about stupid things. Their responses to such things were very effective. Even better for my mother, my boredom that day relieved her from doing laundry for the next four years, until I went off to college. Her lessons were self-perpetuating. We rarely whined about anything, I can tell you.

[Iggo]

35. My mom pulled that same shit when I was 14.

Roll of quarters, roll of dimes, and "Follow me."

I'm 58 now, and I've been doing my own laundry ever since.

[underpants]

28. Well there's free broadway, opera, and of course BOREDPANDA

The free Broadway shows are on playbill.com. The N.Y. Met has free opera on their sight.

30. Dearest Peace

We relish the boredom. Since we both retired we have done so much for the state of boredom. My ex-work-a-Holic hubs says he finally found what he’s good at. Doin’ nothin’.

Of course, we sold everything and moved here. Paradise is a great place to be locked in together. He has 100 + Rubik’s cube.
Pot is legal, we have a pool. It’s 78degrees here. Sigh. Monkeys, lizards and toucans, oh my.

33. Oh my gosh, you are in paradise..

I made this post because everything that I am involved in since retiring is cancelled.. The food pantry, book club, the conservation organizations red hats (yes I am ) , even church is on line.. things that keep me not only busy, but feeling like I am contributing to my local community.. .. but it is for the best.. stop this virus in its tracks..but being home all the time and not out in the community , I miss it..

[LakeArenal]

34. I know US is always a worse place to be most anytime.

Now you are a prisoner in your own prison.

I know you aren’t as bored as your thread.
Just venting. Who can blame you.

All our fun is cancelled too. I’m just here and you are there. Here is cool. There, not so much.

36. I know the feeling.

We are dealing with it by doing outdoor activities that minimize contact with people like picnicing, hiking, fishing, camping. Helps cure the covirus blues.

[onetexan]

37. LOL hang in there Peacetrain. You can read, or knit, or make homemade masks for medical facilities

if you can sew.

[Qanisqineq]

38. Try having a 5-year-old. Her drama is similar to DU Primaries.

I'm bored, too. But I have never seen so many people out walking in my neighborhood. Only in the 30s as far as temperature and more people walking than in July.

[AwakeAtLast]

39. We need Hate Mailbag right about now.

[cwydro]

40. My life hasn't changed a bit.

And I rarely get bored.

Retired, but took a job part time - sadly, I find it boring most of the time.

[DanTex]

41. Lol. Me too. Biden should give Bernie 150 delegates to make this fun again!

[qwlauren35]

42. Good one.

Then we'd have something else to talk about, think about, deal with.
