Subject: Now I know why! From: GUEST,calico Date: 16 Oct 00 - 10:30 PM I was sitting around this evening searching the T.V. trying to find something to watch. I was getting very frustrated and told my husband, now I know why everybody cats on the Mudcat forum.Because they are so bored with everything else, they just don't have a damn better thing to do.I know I will probably piss alot of people off,but I'm just speaking my mind. calico |

Subject: RE: Now I know why! From: paddymac Date: 16 Oct 00 - 10:48 PM Jeez, Calico, you make it sound like the 'cat is a diversion of last resort. I got so PO'd at the vast nothingness of the tube that I disconnected the cable about seven years ago. I only use it now to watch videos. Friends think I'm a bit weird, but disconnecting gave me back large chunks of time to do creative things with, like read, write, play music, pub crawl, etc. Best thing I ever did. Comming to the 'cat is always a learning experience for me, and I enjoy keeping track of the wonderful people that inhabit this place. It is NEVER an escape from boredom for me, but always an eagerly anticipated journey of the mind. |

Subject: RE: Now I know why! From: Naemanson Date: 16 Oct 00 - 11:15 PM I'm with you paddymac. I have cable but only for the modem. I watch the occasional video but I have too many other things to keep my attention. Example: Tonight, I have been editing a children's book for a friend, researching chanties for a workshop or two this weekend, recording Ed McCurdy and Oscar Brand on to cassette and typing up the cassette cover, plus I have been engaged in being a single father, doing laundry and fixing supper. I grab a few minutes on the 'cat to take a break. |

Subject: RE: Now I know why! From: Liz the Squeak Date: 17 Oct 00 - 02:28 AM Sorry, have to agree with the first post there, UK TV has been so crappy recently that I've run up huge bills on the net just being here..... Now I'm seriously addicted and am even posting BEFORE I go to work, because I can't do it AT work..... ho hum... LTS |

Subject: RE: Now I know why! From: WyoWoman Date: 17 Oct 00 - 03:39 AM I am absolutely NEVER bored, and haven't been for so many years I've forgotten what it feels like. I sometimes wish I could be bored, just so I could take a rest. So any time I spend on the Mudcat is time taken away from something else that interests me. But it's almost always worth doing because I like the people here, have mutual interests and also from time to time Catspaw or Chanteyranger make me spew whatever liquid I'm drinking right out of both nostrils. ww |

Subject: RE: Now I know why! From: Little Hawk Date: 17 Oct 00 - 03:52 AM Naw...I have not been bored in ages and ages. I can't even remember the last time. It's just a whole lot of fun on Mudcat, that's all...usually. Maybe it's you who's bored, calico. |

Subject: RE: Now I know why! From: GUEST,micca at work Date: 17 Oct 00 - 06:33 AM What is being bored???, It is not enjoying what your doing, like bashing your head against a brick wall? why not stop and do what does interest you??? 'cat, read , listen to music,paint picture, shave the cat, annoy your kids/spouse/dog. I 'cat when I can , and it always has lifted my spirit and long may it continue to do so,Mind you ,it needs bringing down to earth just now ,not lifting, after the w/e,and it is driving my colleagues nuts as i keep humming bits of songs. |

Subject: RE: Now I know why! From: LR Mole Date: 17 Oct 00 - 08:46 AM Just before I logged on here I was thinking that the quality of recent TV scripts (or issues considered anyway) had improved lately. Maybe, all else having failed, the box is trying intelligence as an inducement. BUT even if that's so, it isn't in the same league as the mind-to-mind, music-to-music entity as the Cat .De gustibus non est dispudandum, though, if I've got that spelling even close to correct. |

Subject: RE: Now I know why! From: Little Neophyte Date: 17 Oct 00 - 08:56 AM Calico, I am here because I love the Mudcat, it offers me so much. It might help to consider what things you want to do that would fill your life with joy. Little Neo |

Subject: RE: Now I know why! From: Mrrzy Date: 17 Oct 00 - 10:49 AM I do come here more often when bored at work... |

Subject: RE: Now I know why! From: KingBrilliant Date: 17 Oct 00 - 11:25 AM Everything depends on how you look at it doesn't it? Is the 'cat half-bored or half-excited? :) Anyway - of course there's nothing better to do than to 'cat! Kris |

Subject: RE: Now I know why! From: annamill Date: 17 Oct 00 - 02:50 PM Create something! I'm in the process of building a video store and have been for almost a year. (Money only comes in dribs and drabs) I haven't had time for anything. Even Mudcat! It sure is motivating fun though. Can't wait to see what I've done! or, get married...that can be very time consumming too ;-) There is such a lot to do out there, how can anyone be bored! Go look at a river or a mountain..go walk by the ocean. but I still love my 'cat! Love, annamill |

Subject: RE: Now I know why! From: Naemanson Date: 17 Oct 00 - 05:19 PM Alex, don't you worry about that "TV" thing. As a quick explanation it is a box from which mindless drivel drools out and pools on the floor of your living room. You have to be careful not to step in it because you may wind up tracking it through your soul. If you do decide to sample the noxious brew then you must strain very carefully through the slime to find the one or two bits of mediocrity that shines only in comparison to the the rest of the sludge that is called programming. Not that I have anything against the box, you see... |

Subject: RE: Now I know why! From: rabbitrunning Date: 17 Oct 00 - 05:20 PM I don't come to the 'cat because I'm bored, I come because I can discuss music (and sometimes other things too!) with people from all over the world. TV generally does bore me these days. I use mine primarily as a place to play video games. Now that's the diversion of last resort! |

Subject: RE: Now I know why! From: GUEST,khandu Date: 17 Oct 00 - 06:34 PM Perhaps it is not that everything else is so boring, but rather that Mudcat is so exciting. To say we have nothing better to do could be correct. At the time we are 'catting, it is the best thing we can do! It is very interesting to me to read the many different threads and see all the many different personalities exhibited here. And I agree, it is far better than TV! khandu |
