I mastered it long ago and never looked back smile. Now if we could just get Russ to relax a bit and get on board, he's like the Energizer bunny smile.

I must be the complete opposite of you guys for I hate doing nothing. Just sitting somewhere with nothing to do drives me nuts. That's why I always have my trusted ereader with me or do a crossword puzzle.

Nothing wrong with that, Mirza. It's just that I get bored doing nothing and reading keeps me sane. What little sanity I've left. grin

Hey Taike, sanity isn't all it's cracked up to be (which is why I gave it up a long time ago smile ).

You're so right, Chas. Actually, nowadays, if you're sane, the guys in white coats come to take you away.

By the way, how're you doing? You've been rather quiet lately.

I've said it many times....the difference between being crazy and being creative is $ 50,000.00. Make that $75,000.00 (damn inflation affects everything).

Make less than $75,000.00 annually and you're just a crazy SOB.

I'll tell you April 18th where I stand (LOL).

Taike,

I'm completely with you on that one. I don't think I've ever sat down and did nothing in my life. Even on vacations....always looking for something to do, though I sometimes wish I could just relax sitting in the sun on a waterfront somewhere with a Bacardi in one hand and a James Bond girl in the other!

Not much on crossword puzzles, but I read a lot....a whole lot. In fact, if I go anywhere, I carry three things with me. A bag of lettuce (to keep my insides healthy), a gallon jug of water (to stay hydrated), and.........a sack load of reading material (everything....newspapers, magazines, books, articles, etc...even sheet music to study.

Love staying busy!

I guess everyone has got to have a hobby.

Don't think for a second that doing something online is really doing something. It is doing nothing regardless of what you may think.

I fail at doing nothing for the first 50 years of my life and now I am working ways to prevent failing in the next 50 years.
Anyway, I don't suffer from insanity, I really do enjoy it!
