Special Message from Blogger of thingstodobored.blogspot.com

Thank you for stopping by!  After surfing the net and visiting the same old sites for months, I realized that even being on the Internet with all of its activity, you can become quite bored. 


Off-line can be worse too especially when waiting for people, awaking to an empty house, or being trapped indoors due to bad weather.  I decided to put this blog together back in 2007, to stay busy.


Over the years, I have found entertaining video and have created insightful articles about being bored.  I noticed that idleness often causes unnecessary issues particularly when living with others or working on a job.  Some people seek to find something online that makes them appear busy, so why not this blog!


Mark this in your favorites and use it to keep yourself out of trouble!
