Tips For The Bored :Maintain A Happy and Healthy Level of Insanity
Bored? Try A Happy and Healthy Level of Insanity
Breaking News:
Seems Dorrie and a few of her 'senior friends' managed to get themselves noticed by the local police! What exactly do you suppose they were they doing?
Well read on below, no doubt Dorrie's 'Dear Diary' note should clear it all up for you rather nicely.
Dear Diary
I read an article the other day that there is this perception out there that we ‘seniors’ are becoming a problem – seems we are doing odd things because we are ‘bored’.
Well for heavens sake, wouldn’t you be bored if your life was filled with a bunch of friends, who just like you spend far too much time just trying to remember stuff like names, what day it is, where you put the flipping car keys and other stuff you know you just had in your hands a minute ago.
But Dear Diary, oh my there are those deliciously fun times when we have some exceptionally good days and we do so make the most of them .. oh yes we do!!
Of course the rest of world complains and maintains that we need help - like therapy, rest, or locking up! But we do get to laugh at what we can get away with simply because we are ‘seniors’ and sometimes because no-one in their right minds would truly believe we were capable of some of the stuff we get up to. It is such fun … and of course every bit worth it as we laugh till our sides hurt.
Really people, stop being so serious, start enjoying life! To help you along the girls and I put this list together for you. Go on … try some of them, see if it doesn’t brighten your day!!
Tips for the Bored : How To Maintain A Happy and Healthy
Level of Insanity
- Sit in your parked car pop your sunglasses on and then point a hair dryer at passing cars....bet you they slow down.
- Every time someone asks you to do anything, ask “Do you want fries with that?”
- If you are fortunate enough to be a tea/coffee lady for a company, then this will really give you some high level entertainment … Put decaf in all the Coffee Makers for 3 weeks - when everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions … switch to Espresso!
- Sing along 'loudly and off key' in church, at the Opera and any other live shows
- Five days in advance of any engagement, tell your family or friends you can't attend because you have a headache.
- When getting money out of an ATM, as soon as it comes out jump and down excitedly and scream “I Won! I Won!”
- At the next family get together announce to your children and grandchildren that - “Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go."
- Get a car bumper sticker made up that says “Does My Bum Look Big In This” and stick it on your back windscreen.
Enjoy the Ride, Life is Short!!

Laughter is the best medicine, this is very true, when you are facing a lot of problems, don’t usually make yourself so stressed out, look for solutions, just like a simple equation, never ever make another problem, make use of one problem, many solutions, not one problem add another problem, that would make your life so miserable
Hear, hear Angela .. thank you for your thoughts!

I have read this list somewhere else too. It is quite amusing. I could totally picture some senior citizens pulling tricks like this. Laughter is indeed the best medicine to keep us sane.
Hi Jeremy

Hello Lorette,
Having a bunch of friends is enough to be happy always! I see no reason to be bored if you are always hanging out with them. Blogging is also a good way!
Hi There Sarah
You are sooooo right! Good point about the blogging too!
Take care

These tips are totally insane! I wonder if any of the readers have actually tried those in real. I would like to try the fries tip just to confusingly annoy everyone around. But I need to know how did you come up with such brilliant schemes ? I bet you are taking help from a 7 year old kid, right ?
Maybe I am really 7 years old Joseph … LOL! Thank you for your positive feedback and I am sooooo pleased you enjoyed this post – I just love ‘insane’ it keeps the smile on my face!

Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
l like that! Thanks.
There is a saying, “It is perfectly sane to be insane.” Singing loudly and off key is surely insane and a very good way of doing something different; driving away boredom. A good compilation of ideas!
Hi Ayanda
You are right I do remember that saying, kind of says it all!
Cheers
Lorrette
Haha LOL!! The bumper sticker one really got me. It’s important to have as much fun as possible, also not be to worried about opinions… also to mess with the perceptions of people who just put you in a box without even knowing you. Good work!
Thanks Alex and I so agree with you on the perceptions thing. Too many people judge others entirely out of context with who they really are.

Very true Lorette, life is a short ride! Your suggestion on jumping excitedly while removing money from ATM made me laugh endlessly. Well well.. what I would say is seek happiness in whatever way possible because life is too short to look for ways and reasons. And if insanity is the route, no problem!
LOL I like the way you think Robert and I am right with you on the happiness road! Thanks for your great comment and for paying us a visit.

I think you’re right because upto a limited level, mental state needs itself a certain level of insanity. Life has been tensed in these years. So, even psychiatrists prescribe a little insanity.
I like the sound of that … ‘psychiatrists prescribe a little insanity’ – does that mean I am okay? LOL
Cheers
Lorrette

i think this is a pretty true statement. i think that you need to be a little mad to survive in these times.

Seems there was something more deep and profound then in the title of that movie years and years ago ..’It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World’ …!
