When you Approach or Contact Someone Else when you're Bored and struggling with it... what are you really Hoping to Accomplish?  Do you really Believe <u>they</u> are or could be the Solution to your dilemma?  Meditate upon that for a Moment will you and see what your Spirit and Heart Speaks to you?</em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em></em> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em>2:  To those that the Bored People have Approached or Contacted who might be now among us Online... or who have a close Relationship with some Bored People... how do YOU Deal with it and with them most Effectively and with enough Sensitivity not to be Mean Spirited or utterly Frustrated in the Process, especially if they are among the Chronically Bored?  What has Worked or been Futile?</em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em></em> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhRC4skm_dRC3mM8AH1dM3MgVBMb8chq9cEGcfHZBGgGiVk7fySYkpulI-V7RNsw3Str79c1tgHa6t2_1-3JAgaPji-GItwodgYAh6qHqK08iJh3DwazOqrmG7K8JqGEnulRndQd63dnnP/s1600/155.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="610" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhRC4skm_dRC3mM8AH1dM3MgVBMb8chq9cEGcfHZBGgGiVk7fySYkpulI-V7RNsw3Str79c1tgHa6t2_1-3JAgaPji-GItwodgYAh6qHqK08iJh3DwazOqrmG7K8JqGEnulRndQd63dnnP/s640/155.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em></em> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em>I do Believe with Dialogue and Open Communication a lot of Life's Issues can be Worked Out some kind of way... and give us Tools that Assist us all in Dealing with, Accepting and Loving one another to the best of our Abilities.  It is my Hope that Dealing with the Bored will become Easier and less Irritating for me Personally... because with Understanding there is usually more Compassion and Mutual Acceptance.</em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em></em> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em>Blessings from the Arizona Desert...
