Your getting sleepy, sleepy, good. When I say "you are not bored" you will open your eyes and remember everything. Now I am going to take you back to when you were a very young child. You are in your sandbox playing. How long could you play there before you got bored? I remember playing in my sandbox, digging a hole and my mom had come out and asked what I was doing and I told her I was digging a hole to China! I guess I got bored or tired or something cause I don't think I ever made it. LOL Were you the kind of child that got bored very quickly or could you play for hours at the same toy or game? We used to get the biggest boxes we could find and make ourselves a fort and we played for hours with these boxes. Better than any toy I ever got! LOL "You are not bored" So tell me what did you remember?

My memory does not work very well. I do remember having a maths book that I loved doing at home! I think I tried getting the teachers to mark it but they gave me the mark book to do myself instead! I never seemed to get bored of that. I also did the jigsaws we had so many times that I could do them upsidedown. Oh to have the time nowadays for such pursuits.

LOL that is so funny I always did extra work in Math. That was my favorite subject. I love jigsaw puzzles as well I have some on the computer that I will do. I have tons here as well. I will do them and glue them together and put them on the wall. I am now running out of wall space in the room. LOL I don't do them as much now as you I don't have the time or the space anymore. :)

Me too. Have you done the big jigsaws made up of loads of small pictures? I did a world one and a Winnie the Pooh one. I could not face doing them twice they were so difficult so I glued and framed them and they are up on our wall. I like Wasgijs now where the picture on the box is a view from the other side.

That is so cool I have never heard of them. I did one of a jar of jelly beans that had spilled over so the jelly beans were all over the place. I did what they called the impossible puzzle where all the pieces were red and it was in the shape of a circle. I usually get the 1000 pc ones or the 1500 pc unless I really like the picture on the others. I have one that is all chocolate chip cookies! I haven't done that one yet it is going to be hard. LOL I did alot of them can't list them all here. :)

When I was very young, say 6 or 7 years I used to play in sand digging cannals from one side to the other side. Above the cannal stood the fort and we would shake hands from either of the sides. We usually played with the materials used for constructing building. I don't remember whether I got bored soon with playing during those days. But later, when I was around 9 or 10 years old my mother put me into badminton coaching and I started going regularly to practice. Now, 10 to 11 years have passed and I am still going regularly to the practice and haven't got bored a single day. If given a chance we are capable of playing the whole day on the badminton court. Our coach will always wait till the end so that we don't continue playing even after our time has finished( the courts are booked for a certain time here). One more thing is: we would get firing from the watchman daily for not finishing before time and it even continues till now....heheheh....

I love badminton. We have a badminton set that we can set up in our yard. We have had a lot of fun with it. There is a problem though, we get a lot of wind and so the birdie doesn't always go where it is suppose to. LOL Makes it more interesting though.

Yes it is a good experience. We can play indoors to but there is really no time limit we just go to the school gym as long as no one is using it or one of the churches that have a gym.

We play indoor badminton. I had been for an outdoor tourney some days before and was really annoyed with the flight of the shuttle. It becomes difficult to hit the shuttle when it changes its path...a good experience of course...
