Search The Internet for Stuff You Are Interested In

We have all been there, and it sure is a great way to pass the time.

Whatever it is you prefer, there is sure to be something for everyone on the billions of pages the internet has to offer.
Play Online Games
Currently, online gaming is in its prime. From the PlayStation 5 to the Nintendo Switch, there are so many different gaming platforms to choose from. You can even keep it classic with something like ms bubbles on your computer. Whichever device you go with, you’ll never be bored at home again. Best of all, many online games – such as Fortnite – are free to download, meaning you don’t have to worry about spending loads of money.
If you’re on a budget though, it’s recommended you try online mobile games first. These days, the gameplay and graphics on offer from mobile games are just as good as their console alternatives. You can also play classic games such as chess online as long as you have an internet connection.
Complete Jigsaw Puzzles

Aside from being fun, studies have shown that jigsaw puzzles can actually improve cognition and visual-spatial reasoning.
In other words, they’re great for your brain! In the world of jigsaws, there are different types to choose from. If you want a challenge, you should try 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles.
Create Digital Photo Albums
Over the years, you’ve probably accumulated thousands of photos on your smartphone. However, have you organized them? If your photos are messy and all over the place, you should probably spend the day at home sorting them into digital photo albums. This way, you’ll be able to have fun reminiscing on old memories whilst also freeing up some much-needed memory space on your smartphone device, computer, or tablet.
Catch Up with Your Best Friend Over Video
If it’s been a while since you last spoke to your best friend, you should video call with them for a couple of hours (as long as they’re free, of course). To do this, you can use a variety of different apps, including:
* Facebook Messenger
* Zoom
* FaceTime
* WhatsApp
* Instagram
Also, don’t forget that some apps, like Facebook Messenger, now allow you to play games with friends while you video call with them. How cool is that?
Binge-Watch Netflix
Sometimes, the best way to pass the time on a lazy day is by binge-watching shows and movies on Netflix.
Right now, Netflix has a ton of exciting and brand-new movies and shows to choose from. If you don’t have a Netflix account, don’t worry; instead, you can try other streaming platforms, such as Disney+ and HBO Max. Alternatively, you can always browse YouTube, as there are lots of free indie movies to choose from.

Have you ever wondered how you can help Seniors in your own community? As we age we often lose our mobility or have to deal with other type’s of medical problems. That means that we may need help with basic household tasks, lawn care, snow removal, grocery shopping, and other things.
Additionally, senior citizens are more prone to taking medicines that help them deal with old-age issues. Some examples of this can be Alzheimer’s, Arthritis, Diabetes, and so on. When you advance in years, a lot of normal activities like taking medicines can appear to become difficult.
Here’s a list of things that you can do to help Seniors in your community.
1. Transportation – Offer to take them to and from the grocery store, department stores, and doctor’s appointments.
2. House Cleaning – Some people can no longer take care of the inside of their home. Offer to help with basic cleaning tasks, laundry, trash removal, etc.
3. Lawn Care – Taking care of the yard and outdoor tasks is hard even on those with no mobility issues. However, those with mobility issues can no longer mow the grass, trim the bushes, rake leaves, etc. Offer to help with these tasks. If you live in an area that gets winter weather offer to shovel and salt their sidewalk.
4. Food – If they can no longer make home cooked “healthy” meals offer to send a few meals to them every month. Even if it’s your leftovers that they can reheat. If you enjoy baking send over a batch of homemade cookies and other type’s of baked goods. I find that they love homemade treats!
5. Clothing Basics – If you can afford to pick up an extra pack of socks, undershirts, underwear, t-shirts, etc. consider donating them! If you’re handy with a crochet hook or knitting needs consider making a few hats, scarves, and gloves if you’re located in a colder climate.
6. Errands – If they can no longer go out (other than to medical appointments) offer to run a few errands for them while you’re out and about. They may need a few items picked up at the store, a run made to the post office, the public library, etc.
7. Companionship – A lot of elderly people lack compansionship with others. Spend a few minutes giving them a call to just chit-chat and check-up on them. Stop over to their home for 30 minutes to just visit. Regular communication with others can help them physically and mentally.
There are a lot of ways we can help Seniors who live in our communities besides the ones listed above. We all lead very busy lives, but it’s important to remember our elders and to help when we can.
