My friend and I were working on his bust-up car, but now it's in the shop and we have nothing to do.

We spend the day sitting infront of his house. He would say something like "Uhggg Bored!" I'd say "Do something" He says "What do you want to do" I'd say "I don't know you think of something" Then he'd say "****."

Then silence.


5 minutes later we'd go over that again. This is dangerous with him, he could stand up and decide to move all his room furniture on top of his garage roof or something.... Good thing he doesn't have a gun. :eek:



Any suggestions for something we can get into, and possibly stay in (I have a feeling it's going to be in and out of the shop for a while :D ) with a resonable price. We will only have about $140, maybe more if his mom wants to chip in. ;)
 
Underaged, you have a birthday coming up soon and will be 16 years old. You have a great personality so what about a part time job? School will be out for summer break soon and if you had a job you could keep after school right now just think how much more money you could earn. Read the classified section of your newspaper or check out some local grocery stores perhaps. I wish you were here, I've got alot you could help me do with pay. :) Cavelady

I've got a friend like that... fortunately, being a convicted felon (possession of WMDs... I'm serious by the way) he can't own a gun, legally at least.
 
Well - you already have some knives, right? Find yourself a block of wood and whittle something. You'd be surprised how much time you can waste turning blocks of wood into piles of shavings. :D

Not to mention the excitement that occurs when you slice yourself.

Opens up a whole new dimension of creativity.......artistic application of butterfly bandages.

LOL. Excitement indeed! Having already had my share of that type of excitement I now wear a safety glove whenever the whittling muse is upon me. I also wear a thumb guard on my knife hand.

I prefer using cyanoacrylate glue to close the wounds - Band-Aid Liquid Bandage is pretty good and DermaBond is good too, if you can obtain it.

I've always wonder how to use the superglue. In a pinch, can one use the household version, or should it be the medical grade? Is the medical grade available at the local drug store?


When using, is it neccessary to completely stop the bleeding, and try to get the incised edges as dry as possible prior to applying the glue?

Also, must you pinch the edges of the cut together while the glue sets, and for how long?


Thanks in advance,

Bored ..... bored, with nothing to do. Too bad you don't live around me, I have plenty to keep both of you busy until your old enough to think of something on your own. Why do you think you need money to do something? Come on man, there's a whole freaking world out there just filled with stuff to do ..... for FREE!

Oh, it just crossed my mind that you couldn't possibly do something around the house, perhaps something nice for your mom or his mom. Nah, nothing so obvious. And you probably wouldn't want to perform some random act of kindness for a neighbor or anything like that either.

Well, keep sitting on your collective butts and brain fart your life away.

Please, please put this in W&C.
 
i use normal superglue, all the medical grade i've found is pretty expensive. i just clean up the blood after keeping the wound above my head for a while, keep the cut as close together as possible and paint some superglue on. then i just go "hohh" on it so my breath's moisture cures the glue immediately. then do a couple more "coats" and i'm set.

Thanks,

Do you put it in the wound, or on top of it?

...Okay, my delinquent friends and I had a favorite passtime when I was a little nogoodnick called "Narling". It would normally entail one or more people punching each other in the arms, legs or gut, wrestling and would sometimes result in someone being hung by their underware from a telephone pole :eek: . All in good fun though :)

On a more positive and structured note, you could do as Gollnick suggests and read a book. No, seriously... :)

You could get a job? - The random act of kindness thing might be worth looking into... Any old or needy folks in your neighborhood you could help out in some way?

Or how about fishing?

You could take up Judo, Boxing or some other locally offered martial sport...?

Time is a precious comodity little brother. Spend it, don't waste it. That is where the saying 'youth is wasted on the young' comes from. Be a leader, not a follower; go and do something you can look back on later with pride.

There's another good suggestion.



My dear little librarian, pile up enough tomorrows and you'll find you've collected nothing but a lot of empty yesterdays. I don't know about you, but I'd like to make today worth remembering.
-- Prof. Harold Hill
 
May I make a humble suggestion? You might try to get a job and earn some of the cash that you seek or you might visit the local library and find a book of interest to you and read it. If you start to read, you will be surprised just how little time that you have left to be bored.
 
A job is always a good idea, or you can pick up a hobby, play chess, read (free books on line at: http://www.gutenberg.org/), get into some kind of project like making a piece of furniture, learn programming (or a new language if you already know one), build you own web page, see who can make the best list of good things to do with your time, then do one of them.

See if you can translate this from Spanish:

La ociosidad es la madre de todos los vicios.
La paciencia es la madre de todas las virtudes.
 
zinn: i would never put it IN the wound... although i'm sure it would be ok to get a little bit in there. like i said just try to keep it as closed as you can and spread the glue over the cut. its easier when you keep it over your head and the bleeding slows down. if you wait long enough most of the time it will stop. as soon as you breathe on it the glue will harden, sealing everything inside.

oh yeah- underaged why dont you try this if you haven't already seen it - http://hossom.com/tutorial/jonesy/
 
when i was about your age we would take our beaters out in a friends back yard and jump off a clift on a s curve in to his corn field.

the first time we did it i was driving a 85 cutlass. we were not to high 3-4 feet maby but we measured the distance from where the tires left the ground to where the front bumper dug in to the ground and it was 73 feet. it tweaked the frame and bent the plate in a u shape but it was fun.

another pastime was taking this old toyota pickup and towing it to the top of a big hill with a jeep and let gravety pull us down the hill. it would reach about 35-40 mph before it would hit the under brush and mud and stop. we ended up destroying that truck when a friend nailed a tree in the thick brush that he could not see. we later rolled a 78 f100 doing a similar stunt.

ya might want to think about getting a atv. we had some old susukis that we used to beat up. the same guy who hit the tree with that truck totaled a atv when he hit another tree at full blast. it knocked him out and we had to weld the front suspension back togeather with old car tierods.
 
Maybe not right for your friend, but when I found myself bored, with nothing to do back in 2003 ... I got myself a gun. Now I've got another very expensive hobby to keep me entertained. :rolleyes:
