    Exotic holiday? Done that. It's just hotter and they have strange insects. My passport expired and I have no desire to renew. Sorry

    Community things. Just googled my area, a bowling club and a spring clean the town group.

    I do like the idea of helping the elderly or mentoring though

    Small manhood issues?

    Or attention deficit disorder maybe?

    If you need to feel needed then I can send you a PO box number to donate to?

    I really do need your help ;)
    Scrap the PO box thing, after looking at your posting history we live close to each other.

    You have no problems, just bored. My family can entertain you :D
    Life is short, smile while you still have teeth :D

    My borough has an organisation that matches up volunteers and skillsets with voluntary positions. Maybe your borough has something similar? The council switchboard or website might be able to direct you to it.

    I joined a local environment group, and through it have joined a social/performance group and also with some of the other people in it, am clearing a loft for an elderly lady tomorrow, so that she can get it insulated.

    If you call Help the Aged (I think they have a newfangled name these days), they could possibly put you in touch with some elderly people who might need help with paperwork/around the house or simply some decent human company.

    I'm not so sure about what organisations do mentoring, although I'm sure the web will be pretty good for it.

    i think you just need to work out things that you enjoy doing. Then do more of them.

    renew your passport, there's quite a good clinic in Switzerland that would solve your problem.
    Alternatively, get a grip and get out there doing stuff!
    - motor racing
    - sailing
    - flying
    - horseriding
    - coach children's football / rugby / any sport
    - etc etc etc no limits

    I do hope for her sake that your daughter doesn't grow up to be so uninspiring.
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....

    I get bored sometimes.

    I have a life that I love. I have stacks of books to read. Stacks of craft stuff. Stacks of housework, or trying to clear stuff. Etc, etc, etc.

    But sometimes, you just need *more*.

    And the thing is, trying to work out what *more* is.

    OP, I hope you find it.
