Retired 6 years and still play golf almost every day without pain. Some of the grandkids were here over Thanksgiving. Heard the 17 year old grandson in the other room tell one of his siblings, "I want to be retired but I don't want to be old."

This is the 70's" He would just smile and say he didn't care what other people liked or didn't like. He wore what he liked. I understand this now. Genius! I have my bride and don't need to look hot to other women. I don't care if you don't like what I wear...

Having more money coming in each month than I ever had before. We have a joint account and I have my "man" account for things I want, and it's nice to go into a store and say yes I'll take it. I feel a lot more comfortable today. And Hugh, I too have dreamed that I'm working, and then I wake up and have a Great day.

Was thinking about this thread today after my earlier post and this popped into my head.....



I could drop dead in the next minute and it wouldn't matter because I've had an incredible life and lived through the best cultural era the planet will ever experience.....

I do not disbelieve in anything. I start from the premise that everything is true until proved false. Everything is possible.

Reading glasses. My wife looks twenty years younger when I remove them. That said, at 61, she's still like Stacy's mom to me.
