7. I could forward all the spam I got today if you'd like to read it.
Are you interested in pills that will add 3 inches to your penis?

8. How does that work?
Do you stack the pills on the end of your penis?

9. LOL! Maybe so.
I personally think those ads are a scam to market spam blocker software and not really to sell pills.

22. Not paranoia. Just reality
I just can't imagine why I have to be bombarded with dozens of emails on a daily basis unless they are trying to be so damned annoying that people want to but the spam blockers. I started a thread earlier about how I am getting just killed with these emails, a couple every hour, for a couple weeks now.

The pills don't work, and I don't believe that many men are falling for this crap, so I'm just surmising that the whole point of all the spam for penis pills, 20 to 30 of them a day, is to encourage people to buy SPAM blocker software at $30 a pop.

13. Write fantasy fiction.
When the real world gets too much for me, I create a world I'd like much better and put some characters and a story into it. I feel much better afterwards. I don't know why but it's kind of like therapy.

14. read conspiracy books, watch movies about alien abduction...

18. Did anyone else notice that Allen planted this thread
and then buggered off? I suspect he found something "fun" to do on his own.

28. Actually, I Fell Asleep Accidentally
I started watching a Science Channel program that I recorded on my DVR (all about killer asteroids) and next thing I knew, my partner was saying "wake up, Allen... let's go to bed".

He saved the recording so that I can start watching it again later (and fall asleep to it again?).

20. read or drink
never both at the same time, and I try not to do one after the other either.

The problem is that if I am reading I hate to put down my book, so I read right up until it is time to leave. Then I end up at the bar/party looking like a scrub because I never bothered to get ready. (this was ok 2 years ago when the scrub look was trendy, but not anymore.)

I also can't drink before I read because I end up coming home reading, hiding the book from myself, and passing out without remembering where I put the book, or what I read in it.

23. I haven't been bored since 1977.
So I don't know if I can help.

But here are things that I do that bring me contentment:

Read.
Hike.
Garden.
Read.
Play with my dog.
Play with my horses.
Obey my cats.
Read.
Play with clay.
Sit on my porch (constructed by me), under my grape arbor (constructed and grown by me), in front of my fire pit, (constructed by me), and contemplate life.
Garden
Read
Play my guitar.
Play my clay flute.
Play my recorder.
Play my drum.
Meditate.
Harvest my own herbs for:

tea
cooking
salves
oils

Read.
Contemplate the perfection of silence.
Talk to my hens.
Write poetry.
And read.



Did I say read?
