As the title says, and as chronic idleness has led to.

Excert from “Bachelor Boys” by Kate Saunders

Not that the mothers would admit to any of this. Betsy, Phoebe and the whole regiment of genteel mums with useless sons all delighted in finding ingenious excuses for their boys' chronic idleness. Jonah, for example, claimed to be writing poetry. Not one jot or tittle of poetry ever issued from his attic, and his sisters regarded him as a waste of food, but his doting old mum maintained that he was 'sensitive'. This was a popular, almost standard excuse amongst the doting mums.

I try to do at least 10 Google-Ups every evening, just to keep in shape.

Hey Crim.
Don't tell me you're suffering chronic idleness! Don't you think idleness has gotten a bad name over the centuries? And don't you think it's time people were educated on the joys and benefits of general idleness?

I'm actually sitting here eating supper, lol.

 

[SeaCat]

And a good evening to you all.

Hi.

Does procrastinating count as doing something?

 

[yui]

welcome and hi to you, yui.
bring any teleporting info? If could happen here. Better stay close.

Thanks for the welcome! No new teleporting info, but I am working on out of body experiences. I'll stick close just in case.

Wow.
That's a very very good question. First thought: depends on what you are doing when you procrastinate. I suppose if you did not want to do something (fill in what that something is, here) and you went, say, skydiving instead, that would be Doing Something. Right?
Is sitting and doing nothing really doing nothing? Who will judge what Nothing is?
Let me think on this. Thanks, Wildcard.

Thinking is doing something.

So you're no longer idle.

 

[yui]

Out of body. That's okay, too. That's in the teleporting category isn't it?

Lacks the flash of dematerializing and rematerializing in a different place, but I'm willing to count it if you are...

So we should be very careful when we accuse someone of Doing Nothing (when meant as criticism) because for all we know they may very well be doing something. If someone is not physically active but they are, for all anyone knows, thinking, they still have to sit or stand or lay down. Sitting is doing something. Right? So is it really possible to just sit and do nothing?

hmmmm

Sitting is doing something. It's possible to sit and do nothing else, if you can turn your mind off and not think. Is that possible? I try during yoga, but, at best, I end up thinking about my breathing or something.

Idle hands are the devil's work.

I always end up lost in some elaborate fantasy. Sometimes involving John Crichton... http://www.addis-welt.de/smilie/smilie/diverse/redface.gif

Flash is mere decoration, and nothing wrong with decoration, but if we can get the out of body and forsake the flash of dematerializing, that's perfectly fine.
Then again, you could materialize somewhere, flash, dematerialize and go flash somewhere else.

Are you channeling Charley? I like you, hmmnmm. You confuse me, but I like you.
