When I started Secondhand Smoke, I thought I was providing a good forum for learning and discussion. I had no idea it could be dangerous. From the story:
You really can be bored to death, scientists discover
Boredom could be shaving years off your life, scientists have found. Researchers say that people who complain of boredom are more likely to die young, and that those who experienced ‘high levels’ of tedium are more than two-and-a-half times as likely to die from heart disease or stroke than those satisfied with their lot.
I apologize sincerely to the families of SHSers whose lives may have been cut short by reading this blog.

Obama has seriously reduced the lifespans of a whole lot of people. Does that mean we can compel them to put a disclaimer up before they broadcast an interview or any time they write a story, or talk abut him on on TV? Why don’t they do a study about being dumbfounded, outraged, or annoyed?

Better to die of self-inflicted boredom than from imposed futile care theories…

So, boredom kills and stupid burns. That makes “Jersey Shore” double trouble.

Thanks for the chuckle. Bored? NEVER. I think boredom is the fruit of small minds.

Boring? Maybe not. Predictable? Definitely.
