I'm of a certain age where people expect such expressions from me. I'm too nice of a guy to get upset about kids on my lawn, however, but I see usefulness in that emoji.

I used to. I would cure it by drinking beer and smoking cigarettes. I did that from the time I was 16 until I was 39. Then I realized that if I wanted to live past my 50s I'd need to lead a more healthy lifestyle.

An interesting thing happened after I started to get more healthy. I got more active in an intellectual way. I went back to school and finished my degree. I read a lot more than I used to and have discovered that there is much more to our psyches than most people know or understand.

It was like a part of me was asleep until I got to be about 40 years old. I was keeping myself that way with booze, food, and tobacco.

Guess the answer is yes.



OK, just kidding. I'm not sure I get bored easily, but... when trying to decide what I want to do next any time I'm not at work, nothing sounds interesting enough to motivate me.

My wife and I are mostly "home bodies." Sometimes we just enjoy the hours between us. Sometimes we wile away some hours in front of the TV. But if she's watching something that isn't of interest to me and there's nothing compelling that I want to watch, then I'm reading/posting on various discussion forums.
