What do you do to waste time on the computer? I am home alone today and I don't feel like going out, but I don't have a TV and I think I'm bored with myLot. What do you do to waste time on the computer? I think I might start playing The Sims again... it's been awhile.

When I feel like wasting time on the computer, I always go to iwon.com and play games.

You could watch tv on the computer. Or at least watch a movie. Try peekvid and you will see what i'm talking about. Today it's raining here and outside is a no, no. I'm shocked to know that you don't have a tv. There is nothing wrong with that though. But try peekvid you might like it; they have tv shows too.

The Sims is dangerous... it will suck you in and never give you back. :) (Sims 2 is even worse for this, as it requires considerably more work and planning to be successful... which means you will lose large chunks of your day. Oh, how I love it! :) )

I spend a lot of time surfing around. I've found a lot of free games and interesting sites at freetimewasters.com. Moola is a favorite. I just purchased Capitalism II which wastes a lot of time as well. Online poker does the job too. So much to do on the internet and so little time heh.

oh yeah!!! there are times that you feel that way. when you are out of topics to post, it's boring but I always scan for some of the new postings with no answers.. in order not to waste my time and be bored in here. Other things that I do, is watch movies online. There are many sites you can hang on. No problem even if you have no TV. Waste your time watching movies in Youtube.
Good luck!!!

I go to different gaming sites I am a member of and play there...
I love to play computer games..So when I have time I will waste my time either at a gaming site or playing one of the games I bought..
And quite often I will watch a video I rented but since you don't have a t.v. play some computer games, some thing that will absorb you so that way you don't realize the time going at all..

I also participate in other paid-to stuff, even if money is not earned as fast as on posting a discussion or a response on MyLot.
Like the first respondent mentioned, I also play other games. I am in a few multi-player games, & if I don't feel like doing those or if I cannot because I have used up all my turns & need to wait for more, I play on pogo.
Being that I am on the computer at oddball times, I also check to see who's online on yahoo messenger & AIM, that is, if no one already didn't already message me. I also have joined several other forums as well.

i play video games. need for speed and GTA have always been highly entertaining games. if you wanna waste time, these are some entertaining websites that you might wanna check out: www.rotten.com, www.doodie.com, www.thespark.com, and www.subservientchicken.com. the last one is a human with a chicken costume doing random orders. you can command the chicken whatever you want him to do as long as its "doable" you cant undress him though. LOL

That's one thing that never happened to me, being bored with the computer and mylot as well. I have more work and less time here. But to waste some time while waiting for the clock to tick 5pm, i just play spider or freecell. That's all I can afford here.

Er,I think your problem as me.
If you want to change,you had better do some sports.
You will find life is wonderful except playing computer.

I play the mindjolt games on facebook when I am really bored.
I also have an obsession with General Hospital and you can normally find me any time on my website along with my 545 other obsessed members!
Thanks for asking. Great to know what others do on the internet to pass time when they are bored!

I have a slight obsession with the moneysavingexpert forums, so can be found quite frequently on there. In fact, I can't think of a time when I've been online and not had the site open!
I watch videos on youtube, and play games on bored.com. There's always something to do online, which I suppose is the beauty of it. If all else fails, googling random words and phrases is always good for a laugh.
I also have a large amount of blogs bookmarked which I read often, as well as looking at new entries on foundmagazine and postsecret.

I keep the TV on when I'm using the computer. I need the background noise for some reason. I read a lot of stories to make the hours of the day go by faster. I try to write a lot of short stories, songs, or poems too. That's awesome that you're Sims fan! I am an addict. Sadly, I can't really play as much because it takes up a lot of space on my computer. And now I have to wait and get an external hard drive. So, Mylot and other sites keep me busy all day long.
