It's Friday and my work is currently on a four day week so i am off today. I've done all the housework and placed my bet on the weekend football to win my fortune and now i am bored!
To pass the time i am on mylot. What do you do when you are bored? Are you more productive with your time? Or perhaps you do not have the spare time to get bored?
Some ideas would be greatly appreciated.....but you need to be quick as the boss (my wife) finishes work soon and she will find me something to do. (Which usually involves nasty housework which i have avoided)

Hmmmm, so you're saying that you are avoiding house chores huh? that's bad! too bad for your wife! I guess you should take time to help her out whenever she needs it...
well, yes I do visit mylot sometimes when I feel bored. There are also times I do get bored when I don't find something interesting to participate in so I go to games or something that I can earn money from. Do you know other sites which pay easy like mylot?

WAAAAAHHHH! You are definitely one of those men who really dislikes the chores and likes more of excitement, isn't it? Sometimes house chores really can be stressful and tiring but when you are in mylot, when you know you are enjoying yourself, you can't help not to stay away from the computer...

MyLot keeps me off the streets.
Oh! No, not like that
I have got a roof over my head
If I wasn't here I would be out shopping so keep these topics flowing so that there is always something that catches my eye and makes me stayed glued here. My purse can't afford to be out buying stuff these days!

Don't see any of that on the streets over here anymore. Everyone has got modern and works indoors. Not that I would know where or how or anything
So men (as in 'husbands') do enjoy shopping after all? That's not how the majority of them tell it

When you said "Mylot keeps me off the streets" i was thinking you meant another career that is very old! I nearly spilled my coffee!
If i had the money i would love to do some retail therapy. even us old guys like a bit of shopping. (without the wife dragging us round every store and then settling on the item she saw in the first shop!)
As for my topic choices, they can be a bit iffy at the best of times!

I am never bored. I always have so many things to do. I visit my lot in between everything I have to do, mostly to put my mind on something else (or to keep it busy thinking when I work/have other things to do).
I think if I would be bored it's because I don't find enough discussions over here to read/respond at. It's the same with internet. I can't spend hours surfing since I find less that keeps me attracted or busy over here.
How about reading a book?
Booking a journey?
Reading travel stories?
Finding out new ways to meet people and share thoughts?
How about cooking and trying out new recipes (the boss will like that too).
Find other ways to make money (= not spending it).

i like the idea of trying out new recipes, i love cooking. i also like the idea of making money. i am working on a job but i have to time it perfectly to co incide with the number 9 bus so i can make good my getaway from the bank. i don't want it to co incide with the bingo coming out or i will look a right pillock standing in a bus queue with a stripped jumper and sack of money right outside the bank.

Hi ajk111,
Nice to see that you have time to relax, and take a load off.. Most people don't even have a second to spare because of their work. In fact, some might even say doing nothing is good for your health.
I would say there are many excellent ways to use your spare time. But to each his own. What someone else may find interesting may not be suitable for you. It's all relative. But, of course, I would be glad to share some ideas.
Well, you could always go for a walk or a jog outside, right? It's greatly relaxing and can take away all the tension of your 4 workdays. Moreover, that might also help you to avoid the work your wife has planned out for you ;)!! This way, you could also improve your health.. It's a win-win situation!!

Well, when I am bored, I either am here in myLot, Facebook or sleeping. Since a lot of my times is so busy it seems I do not have much time in my life most days to feel bored. I am feeling that way a little now due to my husband is not home from work yet and wanting to do something other than being online for a while.

Use this time, productively, to gleen HUGE "brownie points" from the boss;
a)fireplace lit...favourite chair drawn up
b)Her favourite beverage, ready and waiting
c)The heavenly aroma of a wonderful dinner wafting from the kitchen
d)A bath drawn...and filled with rose petals....
AND GET BUSY! TIME IS FLEETING!

I suppose it's past time and if you'd not found a chore or two you enjoy your wife found you one you didn't quite. I would have suggested getting "busy" in the garage, atleast looking busy and coming in "exhausted". Then again maybe that suggestion is not the best either.
I am here on mylot, I am trying to pass the time. Tomorrow is a get together with friends, and I want to make the time pass by. I don't want to go to bed so early so I can stay up later tomorrow night, and also so that I can sleep in a little tomorrow so I've not got much time to wait.

Whoa! Good for you that your work entails you to be in there for only four days. May I know what line or field of work you do that gives you four day work week only? Yes, as for me, I do go myLotting if I am bored in the internet. After I have finished following my finances and checking my social networking sites and emails, I have nothing else to do online. So here I am myLotting. But usually, when I get bored I play some sports activities or watch a series in my laptop. But most of the time, I will rather go over my online earning sites to pass the time out.

I used to do a lot of sports but age (48) has caught up with the creaky old limbs so i got married instead!

Oh! Sorry about that! Anyway, yes, I do love sports activities too. However, unlike you, I am still young and is only primed for sport activities! Ooooh! You got creaky old limbs then married out, then you'll break those legs of your during marriage! Just kidding around! Anyway, I try my best to pour out activities in my time and I really don't want idle time except if it is for resting.

I wish I had spare time...LOL. I just dont have time to be bored...My life is so hectic, I have to stop in the middle and just be happy for a lunch break. Anyway... In the past I would just sleep if ever I got bored.
Now, (if it ever happens) I will take a walk, or maybe go to myLot as well. I really like this site, and hope that it stays for a long time. I love to post, and talk about my day with all of my myLot friends. Thanks for the discussion...have a great evening, ajk111.

videos about my interests, soemtimes movies, soemtimes
Tv shows I've always wanted to watch but never had the time
to watch. I also read the ebooks I have downloaded for a long time
ago but neveer had the time to read.

I joined My Lot because I'm lonely although I am married and have friends that we live with I find myself alone all day with nobody to talk to except my dog and he can't talk back. I spend my evenings with my husband but I can't always talk to him about anything because the t.v is more interesting to him or he's too drunk or stoned to have a normal conversation with. Anyway, I don't usually get bored because I always seem to have something to do even on days when I say that I won't do anything there always is something needs doing. Women's work is never done, they say. Ha! Ha!

When I get bored,I have many alternatives to choose from.For example,going for a long walk,reading books on my choicest topics or talk to my friends who are available in the vicinity of my house.I can't participate in Mylot every time I feel bored for my desktop is installed in my niece's room and I don't want to disturb her.She's busy with her studies.
