Snakebite · 02-15-2006, 04:32 PM

Go ahead, rub it in.
I can understand how watching TV and drinking tea would wear a person out. Better slow down there 7mmag6....sounds like a tough day

7mm I am also in your situation now not a lot to do other than spend the mornings looking for work and the afternoons putting up the fence.

Oxford · 02-15-2006, 04:44 PM

7mmag6...it gets even better for a while...before boredom might possibly set in. Then you may feel the need to apply at Walmart as a greeter.:nod:

But...for me the solution was to volunteer a portion of my time each week as a volunteer carpenter with HFH and do other fun hobbies. I've never been sorry for that decision. :right:

Now your in the zone ! Play the lottery ! For some reason as soon as you retire or your rich , you get 6 matching numbers. Don't know the science behind it but I heard it happens.

7mmag6 · 02-15-2006, 06:19 PM

Id like to respond but its nap time

jerry · 02-15-2006, 08:09 PM

Be careful, we buried a lot of retired Master Sergeants early on while I was on the Honor Guard.

Now give me 20!

7mmag6 · 02-15-2006, 08:27 PM

OK, do the other 17 in the AM.

Oxford · 02-15-2006, 09:23 PM

Whatever you do...stay out of that rocking chair.:right: It's a matter of life and death.:nod:

Dallas · 02-15-2006, 09:39 PM

Gee I've only got 20 more years to go.

Father Time · 02-15-2006, 09:44 PM

Don't nap too long or youll miss the early bird special at the Old Country Buffet!:right:

troy2000 · 02-15-2006, 10:02 PM

For some reason, my teenage boys take great delight in telling cashiers that I qualify for a senior discount. They're usually wrong. Most places around here start giving it at 60, and I'm sneaking up on 57.
