…cyberstalking old girlfriends. Not contacting, just looking for them.

How bored are you?

This from a guy who names and photographs pigeons 😉

I once tried looking up old flames.  
Kept running into obits.

Actually found a live one and called. I innocently asked about a mutual friend from way back.  
Also dead.

If I get bored, I’ll putter around the house.

Last song I listened to before going to work this morning. Already stuck in mine for fourteen hours. ☹

“It’s mostly water, and we’re mostly water, so we’re bleach.”

Sound reasoning 🙂

I am not bored. Boredom–and in particular, \*admitting \*to boredom–is like texting the Universe to say, “Hey, come kick me in the balls!” The surest cures for boredom are swift, unpleasant, and abundant.

That said…I, too, am posting in this thread.

I just saw an obit where my ex wife was listed as his girlfriend. I really wasn’t expecting to ever see her name again, it was strange, especially since he had 25+ years on her. I thought for a second on sending her a note or something but I haven’t seen her in more then a decade and decided against it.

I’m bored as a wooden plank. (Get it?)

Actually, right now I’m mostly procrastinating/killing time/waiting for a couple of people, rather than actually bored.
