Although going to FOTH is at best merely annoying, as a public service lets share our best strategies to make the best of it. What are your favorite methods for filling in those minutes (and somtimes hours) of FOTH?

Here are my favorites:

1) checking to see if any lint is in my bellybutton.

2) experimenting with how long I can stare at a computer screen without blinking.

3) writing angst filled emails to CBS about the unfairness of FOTH.

Creating a six course gourmet meal, eating it and then cleaning up the entire mess.

You'd still have time to sit and have an after dinner drink and a quick snooze.

This is when laundry gets done in my house. The fact that clean stuff sits in the dryer for days without getting folded only adds to our household's current look of "fashionably wrinkled."

Get up grab a coke, grab a muchie, pet the dogs, give some of muchie to the dogs, drop everything off by the computer, and see the FOTH still on.
Go to the rest room, see a real live person, engage in conversation, and go back to computer to see FOTH still on.
Run upstairs, fold some clothes, grab new basket of dirty clothes, check the computer, FOTH is still on.
Get clothes into washing machine, wrestle sock away from puppy, hear FOTH as passing by to return laundry basket, look around, put a few more pieces into the puzzle that has collected dust since the beginning of BB3, play with dogs while slowly making way back to the computer.
FOTH is no longer on, missed huge strategy/fight/plot twist by mere seconds.
Spend rest of day trying to figure out what the heck just happened.

conceive a child, give birth, raise it, and by the time he/she is out of college, perhaps FOTH will be gone.

Make phone calls to all the people you have been avoiding so you won't miss live feeds. This is a sure way to make the FOTH go away. The person answers the phone and the feeds come back and then you have to think of a quick way to hang up.

Well, today, I thoroughly cleaned and disinfected my computer keyboard, monitor, and surrounding area and accessories with hydrogen peroxide and q-tips, while enjoying the lilting refrain of FOTH.
Now my fingers don't stick all the time when I type....and I won't pass on the salmonella which lurked between the keys.
