What sort of things do you do when you are bored? My husband and I love to take the kids and explore nature.

When I am bored, I come here to mylot. There is never a dull moment here. Or maybe go outside and do yard work. My wife likes to watch TV all the time so she is never bored. I dont care too much for the TV. I prefer the PC over the TV.

Wow exploring nature, I really too love to do that but when I get bored I used to play computer games. It is my favorite past-time. It is one way of relaxation for me too.

There are lys of ways to keep yourself away from boredom. most of the people try their hobby as the best time pass. some write , some dance some do gardening. in my free time I used to read a lot, surfing is also one of my good hobby that I do in my free time..otherwise I watch movies

Bored - what to do when we are bored
There is not a spare moment in my life i think, when i can even think and afford to get bored! Honestly i have my hands so full all the time, just rushing from my work to my home, seeing the kids and just doing all the chores all day long. But, yes there are those times once in a while when i do feel that i am getting bored, thats maybe incase we do have along weekend or if we are out on a vacation and after a few days with relatives and family we start getting bored, and waiting to return home and start our work etc, such times i do get bored up. At such times i resort to doing things that i dont get time for, like picking up on listening to my favourite songs, cooking up delicious recipes, reading a book, seeing a full movie without having to get up in between! playing with my pets, doing up my cupboard, the list is endless actually, as theres so much to do even then, but i take one thing at a time, and as i get little free time, i make the most of it. Yes we too go out, but its rare, and thats on weekends alone as the kids are into their teens and need to catch up with their studies too, so weekends are for going out.

I watch movies. I watch a lot of movies. I could spend an entire day sitting on my butt watching movies on tv. Ha ha...probably not so healthy, but...fun!

There are basically two things I do. The first thing is I like to take a book and read it. The problem here is that it must be a book that grip my attention from the first sentence straight through to the very last sentence. If the fisrt sentence is not gripping me then I am "bored" all over again. The second thing is to go on a surfing spree on the Internet. This I can do for a whole day (when it is raining and cold).

I try to read and if I get to page 50 without looking up then I know it's good. If I like fall asleep then I put it down. That's my rule!
