You're stranded...in your house...for three days...no internet or communications...???

Question

what do you do to entertain yourself? You can't go past your yard. And you certainly cannot talk or commicate with anyone else. (you're home alone, by the way)

Answer 1

OMG, thank you, thank you thank you!!! I have three kids and have been waiting for this moment forEVER!!! Let's see, I'm going to shower, wait, no. I'm going to take a long, hot BATH!!! All by myself! Then I'll read a book that doesn't have ANY pictures in it!!! And I'll sleep...no interruptions, no shushing anyone, no bickering to wake me! And I'm going to cook all the things that I just love without anyone whining "Eww, that looks yucky! Do I have to eat the mushrooms?" Yeah, then maybe a nap after dinner and another hot bath. I'll even shave my legs! I'm starting to feel like a real person just thinking about it...thanks!

Answer 2

I would have no problem finding things to do but since you asked you might be quite young. I would start with one room in the house and I would go thr everything. I would get rid of things that I haven't used in a longtime and either set it aside to go to a chariety or give away to the needy. In the kitchen I would do the same and go thr the whole house. In the evenings I would get out a book, my knitting needles or sew on a quilt. Now if this sound too old fashioned to you. Start a journal of all the things you want to do in your life, and what you want to achieve. When was the last time you sat down and wrote a letter to your aunt, grandmother, or someone you are grateful for. You know that pile of junk in your room go thr it. Ever cleaned a bathroom try that. Surprise your family and do all the laundry. I am never bored and really can't imagine why someone else can't use some imagination. Wish you well. P.S. I like to sing so I think I would make a list of all the songs that I know and sit and sing them all. lol

Answer 3

Sleep, read, eat, mop the floors, wash the curtains, dust the sofas, service the car, learn fixing a flat tire, put the car up on the jack, remove a tire, change the sets, see the stars at night, try your hand at cooking, sing a song, sleep some more, water the plants, try origami, learn to dance, imagine that you're on an island - well now you ARE on an island - so enjoy!

Answer 4

Well, there's books, solitare, journaling, etc. I think the problem requires a little bit of preparation. You could have purchased a jigsaw puzzle, a good book, or some other diversion beforehand. I personally have one player video games that do not require the Internet. What do you like to do?

Answer 5

I think I would read, there are a lot of books I've bought but haven't had time to read them. Also, I would clean everything like crazy just to give my house a good scrubbing and do laundry, organize my cabinets rearrange my rooms. Clean out my refigerator because I know there is a bacterial beast living in there.

Answer 6

I never get to to this b/c I am always on the go: I would take a bath, do my nails, re-organize my closet and shoes, clean the house spotless, maybe read and I would probably cook a lot... Oh yeah, I would also do my my homework for this week and the next.

Answer 7

I would probably break out a deck of cards , or maybe finally get to all that paperwork thats been pileing up since I've been on the internet.

Answer 8

I was stranded for 5 whole days

Thank God I have family around to entertain me

Answer 9

Read a good book, play with my cats, enjoy being home, write letters, poetry. Play music, take a long bubble bath, bake.

There are plenty of things to do.

Answer 10

By beloved one and I have never parted for so long. When I'm alone for a few hours I usually read, paint, play the guitar and sing beautifully.
