I’m not feeling too well. I’m in bed and bored. Fluther seems a bit quiet today and I’m getting increasingly frustrated as to what I should do. Any ideas for what a poorly person can do besides rest?
Thanks jellies.

Invite a friend over for tea and crumpets…
Read a book, watch a movie, take a nap, make yourself a huge milkshake, call a friend, draw a picture, make some cookies, have some soup, write a poem, make some prank phone calls, listen to music.
You’re already Fluthering, sooooo, are you saying we are boring? lol
@queenie
Hope you feel better soon cupcake! ;-)
@queenie darling, if I knew Sanskrit, I’d teach you in a heartbeat.
@queenie
Well, if ‘it’s’ what I think it is, be glad you are not living in some ancient tribe where you would be banished to a hut in the jungle for the week. lol ;-)
I have absolutley no idea what you’re talkin bout, but okay ;)
No one has mentioned listening to some music that’s comforting. Or tune in to Animal Planet on the tv. (If it’s not amusing, turn it off) Or, if you’re someone that likes everything neat, straighten a drawer or two. But if you were that kind of person, the drawers are probably already neat. How about a game of solitaire, for imaginary money?
@queenie
I was refering to the ‘curse’ :-D
Read a book, surf the web, crochet, knit, clean up a bit. If you’re a volleyball player like me, bump the volleyball or set it for a while. Move around a little. Do anything but be a lazy bumm, trust me, it hurts you ass a lot.
Come hang out with me in Germany?
I really really really really want to sit down with you and be British one day.
@queenie We can sit down and drink tea. Then I’ll make you falafels!
@KatetheGreat Ooooh, yes! Then we’ll both play a game of croquet ;)
Start planning a feast, or at least start searching Google for all sorts of great dishes that you plan to prepare in the future, then save them under Recipes in your favorites. Here are some topics to get you started:
Soup
Salad
Cake
Noodle Dish
Dish from Another Nation
Casserole
Pie
Cookies (or do you Brits call them biscuits?)
Something clearly from the U.S. that you’ve been curious about
Veggies
Something clearly from Russia, to share with @KatetheGreat
@queenie Then we can roam around England screaming “God save the queen!!!!!”
Or, you can fly on out to Californi and muck out my barn. ;-)
What could possibly be more fun than repainting my windowsills?
@queenie That’s what I thought, but one of the other jellies told me that most things that we yanks call cookies are referred to as biscuits in England. Either way, they’re all good.
What exactly is a digestive biscuit? Is that just a cracker or cookie that is loaded with fiber? I always notice that they give children digestive biscuits in movies about British shoolchildren. I watch a lot of movies about British schoolchildren and British movies in general. I wonder if Alan Rickman eats digestive biscuits? Or Patrick Stewart?
@Brian1946
Lets barter. My barn for your windowsills. ;-)
@Kardamom Digestive biscuits are probably the most popular biscuits here. Yes, they’re high in fibre and taste amazing :D
There’s different varieties of them though, some plain, some covered in chocolate. Mcvities are the main producers of Digestives over here.
@Coloma Now that is a great idea! Fluthering for Barter or Fluthering and Freecycling.
@queenie No wonder the boys in the movie I saw last night The Midnight Feast were bartering for those digestive biscuits (now that I know what they are). There’s a cute little British store in my town, I should go check it out and see if they have any.
Now, if you could kindly explain to me what spotted dick is? Is that like a pudding or a cake, and why does it come in a can? Does it always come in a can or is that something you would make at home for dessert?
Do they have quaint little United States style stores in England? British stuff is really cool to us, but I would think that U.S. stuff would mostly be seen as very crass and commercialized.
Spotted Dick is indeed a pudding. I guess it doesn’t always come in a can, as my mum has made that at home before.
I don’t like it very much, I’m afraid I haven’t come across a store specialising in American cuisine, but you do get American stuff here like McDonalds and KFC etc. But hey, Heinz is a respected brand and very popular over here.
@queenie
Have you ever seen a Mexican restaurant where you live?
I’ve never seen Heinz Spotted Dick in the states…funny!
Find a way to make some else’s day easier or more joyful.
Not sure about you but when I’m bored I certainly don’t want Heinz’s Spotted Dick! :/
Movies or beer….or movies and beer. :)
If you are otherwise healthy then get your body moving. Force yourself to for a long walk. Your body will reward you by making you feel better. Your body needs regular vigorous exercise in order to maintain good health.
Quit relying on Fluther for entertainment. Go outside and enjoy life.
It does a body good
I hear that, fuck outside lol.
