Doing absolutely nothing.

I am pretty darned good at doing that too. A favorite pastime Very relaxing.

I mastered it long ago and never looked back . Now if we could just get Russ to relax a bit and get on board, he's like the Energizer bunny .

It' s almost to easy for me.

Oh good, I'm glad you all got this. I did not want too be taken too seriously with this.

:p

I must be the complete opposite of you guys for I hate doing nothing. Just sitting somewhere with nothing to do drives me nuts. That's why I always have my trusted ereader with me or do a crossword puzzle.

Well, I am so busy with work, three kids,playing the weekends I do enjoy this god given talent of doing apsolutely nothing at all some days.

Nothing wrong with that, Mirza. It's just that I get bored doing nothing and reading keeps me sane. What little sanity I've left.

Hey Taike, sanity isn't all it's cracked up to be (which is why I gave it up a long time ago ).

chas

You're so right, Chas. Actually, nowadays, if you're sane, the guys in white coats come to take you away.

By the way, how're you doing? You've been rather quiet lately.

Taike

I tried being sane once, worst 5 minutes of my life.

Yep! That's what sanity does to you!

Lol!

I've said it many times....the difference between being crazy and being creative is $ 50,000.00. Make that $75,000.00 (damn inflation affects everything).

Make less than $75,000.00 annually and you're just a crazy SOB.

I'll tell you April 18th where I stand (LOL).


Russ

I love this post. Nothing better than hearing guys expound on the pluses and minuses of doing nothing . I was going to write more but .............well, you know.

chas

This is the first thread I have posted on here, too get this many responses. In quite a long time.

Taike,

I'm completely with you on that one. I don't think I've ever sat down and did nothing in my life. Even on vacations....always looking for something to do, though I sometimes wish I could just relax sitting in the sun on a waterfront somewhere with a Bacardi in one hand and a James Bond girl in the other!

Not much on crossword puzzles, but I read a lot....a whole lot. In fact, if I go anywhere, I carry three things with me. A bag of lettuce (to keep my insides healthy), a gallon jug of water (to stay hydrated), and.........a sack load of reading material (everything....newspapers, magazines, books, articles, etc...even sheet music to study.

Love staying busy!

MARK

I guess everyone has got to have a hobby.

Don't think for a second that doing something online is really doing something. It is doing nothing regardless of what you may think.

I fail at doing nothing for the first 50 years of my life and now I am working ways to prevent failing in the next 50 years.
Anyway, I don't suffer from insanity, I really do enjoy it!
