After a late night of drinking following a White Sox game, I woke up with a massive hangover. Thank God , my kids had plans so I didn’t have to entertain them. After a long day, I did a little research on hangover cures on google. Surprisingly, there was not alot of information. The highest recommended cures were

1. Sleep …. not everyone has the luxury
2. Water… Dehydration is the source of the cramps and headaches
3. Vitamin C… Juice from a smoothie is a good start
4. Gatorade… I like the traditional flavor
5. Hot Shower…I take two sometimes
6. Exercise… Sweat out the toxins
7. No Caffeine… It will make you more dehydrated
8. Fresh Fruit… It replenishes the body
9. Greasy Food… I usually do this before I sleep
10. Start drinking again…

When you are looking for ideas, try these things to do when bored.

1. Clean out your old books and media. Sort your bookshelf for books that you don’t need. Sort the old CDs, DVDs, and VHS tapes. Collect the unwanted ones and sell them on Ebay. You will get a few bucks for each. Take the money and put it in a savings account.
2. Make a to do list. Go through your house and find everything that needs fixing or updating. Light bulb, filters, painting, cleaning are good places to start. Now get to work.
3. Audit a course online. MIT has new program called opencourseware. Other universities have also joined the effort. They post course material for anyone to download. Download a topic like philosophy to listen to on the train.
4. Go through your bills. Look for anyplace to cut $100/month. Start with your cell and phone bills. Look at your insurance. Raise your deductible. Cut out any extra cable or direct tv plans.
5. Clean out your garage. Look for things that are not needed. Organize the rest to make easy access. Make a note of anything that you might need that is off season like salt. Have a garage sale with the leftover stuff.

It’s time to find things to do when you are bored. Sometimes you have plenty of time and can’t think of anything to entertain yourself. I created a list of ten free things to do that are free.

1. Clean your house and garage. Sort everything. Find items that you can give to a worthy cause. Items like clothes,old shoes, old toys are perfect for donation. Find a local center to donate. It’s not hard to find a worthy cause. The rest have a garage or yard sale. Use the money as a savings bonus

1. Have some fun with your kids while washing your car. Make it a family project. But turn it into a water fight with squirt guns. Nothing beats making your kids laugh.

1. Go to the community pool. Most are free for residences. Pack a lunch and get some rays.

1. Go to the library. Have everyone find a good book. Bring them home and have everyone lounge around and read. At dinner it is time to discuss your book with everyone.

1. Take a bike ride to the park. Bring a snack and don’t just sit there. Play ball or tag. Make it a real exercise.

I found a few sites that offer prizes for completing surveys. Most are around 5 pages long and qualify for an entry into the prize pool

InspirationCharles Plum, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, was a jet fighter pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb ejected & parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured & spent six years in a Communist prison. He survived that ordeal & now lectures about lessons learned from that experience. One day, when Plumb & his wife were sitting in a restaurant, a man at another table came up & said, “You’re Plumb! You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. You were shot down!” “How in the world did you know that?” asked Plumb. “I packed your parachute,” the man replied. Plumb gasped in surprise & gratitude. The man pumped his hand & said, “I guess it worked!” Plumb assured him, “It sure did-if your ‘chute hadn’t worked, I wouldn’t be here today.” Plumb couldn’t sleep that night, thinking about that man. Plumb says, ‘I kept wondering what he might have looked like in a Navy uniform-a Dixie cup hat, a bib in the back, and bell bottom trousers. I wondered how many times I might have passed him on the Kitty Hawk. I wondered how many times I might have seen him & not even said good morning, how are you or anything because, you see, I was a fighter pilot & he was just a sailor. Plumb thought of the many hours the sailor had spent on a long wooden table in the bowels of the ship carefully weaving the shrouds & folding the silks of each chute, holding in his hands each time the fate of someone he didn’t know. Now, Plumb asks his audience, ‘Who’s packing your parachute?’ Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day. Plumb also points out that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down over enemy territory-he needed his physical parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, & his spiritual parachute.” He called on all these supports before reaching safety. His experience reminds us all to prepare ourselves to weather whatever storms lie ahead..
