81

By Dale Nelson

What can I do when Im bored

Sometimes we get so bored that we end up typing Im bored into the search engine just to see what will come up. There are usually a few options to take when you get so bored that any little change will be enough to change the boredom.

With a little bit of imagination and a little silliness at heart, there are quite a few options when you bored, if you don't mind a few little pranks here and there. These are a few bored items to do when its raining or you just plain don't feel like doing anything or moving from the couch.Some of the bored stuff here will mean unfortunately that you have to get up and go outdoors for a bit of a change of scenery. Being bored in no uncertain terms means that you are lazy, so go on and get a little mobile.

Well sometimes I forget that the readers here come from all over and I apologise. So to answer ??????? and Maddy, a hubpage is basically an opinionated article on any subject matter one choses in the format as shown in the above article on things to do when you are bored. Hubpages is a free platform for writers to provide free content to the world to read on most topics. If you would like to join for free then please do at http://www.hubpages.com/_newto/

I like 142. I would love to hike and take a safari ride in South Africa!

Dale Nelson profile image

Dale Nelson Hub Author 20 months ago

Thanks for the feedback jj wrightis. South Africa is reasonably priced if you dont get the package deal.Rather get here and drive to places up the North Coast of KwaZulu Natal to places like Hippo Hideaway and Crocodile Creek in the St Lucia wetlands.St Lucia is 50 kilometres from The Kruger National Park and gates open at 6 am for self drive trips or breakfast and guided tours. Much cheaper than staying in the park itself.
