I have been in a self pity bag for a couple of days because I realized how

boring I am. Without work and family, I have no interests. Never really

bothered me, but now that I have been unemployed for so long, it is hitting

home. So of course now everyone is posting their interesting selves. I do

hope this will be my biggest problem for now compared to what I have lived

through in my lifetime. Miss dull, Fay Bayuk

Judy that is just what I mean, what you are doing is so clever and

interesting. I want to have a home bookkeeping business, but I can't get

myself in gear to do it. I am not depressed just unmotivated for anything.

Fay,

I have never found your posts dull, and there is a great deal to be said for

the experiences gained over a lifetime, whether one works or not, has a

family or not. Please don't sell yourself short. I haven't " worked " for the

past 5 years, and my 4 (grown) kids are all busy with their own lives. But

somehow, I manage to create enuf " work " for myself that I can't get more than

4 to 6 hours of sleep a nite, I'm so busy! One of the interests I have

developed is keeping myself healthy, researching how to do that, and sharing

my findings with others who are interested in knowing. It's turning out to be

a full-time job. I'm sure if you look to the things you truly enjoy, love to

do, you will find something to fill your time equally as well.

Hugs,

Carol A

Fay, my dear, you are anything but dull. I always enjoy your posts.

In fact, this list is far and away the best one out there, and I

don't think anyone on here is dull! I'm sure there are a few other

choice adjectives that may apply, but never dull. )

Time to change the subject line, everyone. None of this is about decaf

anymore, LOL

Looney, there you go, another interesting and busy person. I didn't work

when my kids were small. I was bored then. So I volunteered, did clay,

sewing, knitting, needlepoint, scout leader, volunteer, took courses, and on

and on. It wasn't until I went back to work full time that I felt I had an

interesting life. I was a bookkeeper at a drug rehab and in those day

everyone did everything. There was never a dull moment. Most of the time, I

enjoy being boring. Having had to live in a crises mode so much of my life,

this is a good change. It is just some days that I feel guilty. I am like

the Seinfeld show. It is about nothing and I am about nothing in the same

sense. Fay Bayuk
