As I get older I tend to get busier and busier. Just enjoying life as much as I can. Don't know what's down the road. I'm healthy NOW.

I can truthfully say "I'm never bored. " I always have something to do or somewhere to go.

Nope, no boredom here either.

I always have a list of things to do, but sometimes I just don't want to do any of them - yes, I get bored. When I get bored, I walk the dog until my attitude changes.

Yep, I'm bored on Sundays. When I was a kid Sundays were the most boring day of the week. Still are--I think it's mental.

I never get bored. Even when doing nothing but sitting around. I don't remember getting bored when I was a child either.

Nope, I'm another one who never gets bored. Everywhere I look there's either something I WANT to do, or NEED to do! When I'm just sitting, which is rare, I just listen to the voices in my head! LOL

You are all very lucky..I wish I was able to work..I moved here and have no friends, other than my DD. I have no car so I can't go unless she takes me and I don't want to be a bother so I stay home. I, in my other life, was busy and all was well and never bored..so I see both sides of the coin and liked the busy side much more.

Donnakt put it into words what I have been feeling. In my 'other life' I was never bored. I was active in three community theaters, two red hats clubs, played poker every week and volunteered as a Pink Lady at our local hospital, belonged to the Lionesses, and volunteered as a fund raiser at the local animal shelter group. We moved here almost six years ago. No local community theater, waiting list for membership at the Red Hat clubs, can't find any card playing groups, I have difficulty with walking and standing, so don't feel I would be much help at the hospital, besides the auxiliary is made up by Drs wives. I have joined the local senior club and we meet once a month for a meeting and pot luck lunch. I do try to have some kind of craft thing going, do a lot of reading and of course, there is my KT family. I know.....boohoo, Dotmom's having a pity party. But it is what it is, I guess.

I haven't been bored since I was a teenager. LOL

I am never, ever bored. I don't have nearly enough time to do everything I need or want to do.

In the winter I get bored. There's no garden to tend, lawn to mow/fertilize/weed, camping/hiking trips, car to clean up from said trips, outdoor grill to clean, hummingbird feeders to fill, the deer drink the birdbaths dry in the heat, 20 deck pots to water every day, spray round up on the brick patios, going to garage sales, photographing flowers, friends all picnicing & visiting......summer is labor intensive!

Oh my goodness, I never have time to be bored. :)

Back when my kids were little, and we lived out in the country, you know, far to town, no money... and they didn't drive yet of course.

One summer I got them every time they said they were bored. Gave them scissors, and sent them out to cut the grass where the push mower didn't go. LOL, my push mower was my close up mower, as we had a BIG tractor to mow the pasture, a riding mower to mow the yard, and the push mower to mow where the riding mower didn't fit.

They never complained about being bored again.

Moni

I get bored quite a bit. It's not that I can't think of anything to do - there is always plenty to do - but I don't find much of it very satisfying these days.

I get bored often, alway have been that way. I like different things all the time and that never seems to happen for me. I do have lots to do but many times I just don't want to do any of it. So, maybe thats just lazy an not bored?

I'm never bored... I always have more things to do than time to do it in.

I have never been bored and I am high energy.

My life is full of the same things as Nicole's but it does
not stop in winter as we have minimal cold weather in East Texas. There are football games, garage sales, crafting, lots of church activities and KT to get through the nongardening months.

Do you ever start doing something and need a bathroom break and on the way see something else that needs doing and you forget the original job or project.

How can anyone be bored with so many things to be accomplished?

You KTers who are bored or sometimes bored, come to visit me. Bring your comfortable clothing and shoes.

i admit i can get bored, but it's really of my choosing...maybe a better word is complacent...i'm sure glad i have a computer! i can come here feeling blue and read one funny post, and bam it's gone...

my dd2 asked the other day what do i have to do on the computer...dh laughed and said she's on there all the time...

Anybody know where to find 25 hours in a day?

I've always had a curious, inquiring mind - I think that helps.

But I can understand how it might be difficlt after transplantation, especial if mobility were a problem.

I think that I'd either walk my dog ... or borrow a nighbour's ... and travel up and down the street, talking to whomever I could (though folks dont show up in their yards/on their front porches like they used to) and I'd hope to make some new friends that way.

How about going to various social, sport, theatrical, community, arts, religious groups in your area?

Is there a place where one can find out what events/groups are happening and when in your area?

I've heard a number of retirees say that they're busier now than they ever were in their former life ... don't know where they could find time to go to work, were that necessary.

Hi dot Mom ... how about starting your own Red Hat club? A friend of mine did, when the others were all filled.
