The 50-Plus Room - for

[Missk_2022]

My nephew got 6th place at his wrestling tournament.... was 50+ teams for catholic league.... he has been wrestling for 2 years and is in 150 weight class because a lnother kid with rich parents wanted the 144 class (gotta love them catholic schools). So I am very proud of him. He fights and perseveres.... he is an amazing boy

 

[Lilianna23]

Congratulations to your nephew! It's quite an accomplishment!

If 50 is old, whatcha call someone approaching 60?

Anything you like!

 

[thør]

Good point.

Have you ever seen the remains of a moose or other large animal that was devoured by wolves? Little to see in the snow other than a red splotch, some hair, and a few bits of bone that have no marrow.

 

[thør]

Nope... just soft cuddly furriness.....

That works.....

No. I've seen a lot of leftovers at the ranch, but nothing like that.

It does explain why your parents never mentioned them.

Dad was pretty much an asshole...

Never was one to make good on promises.....

Very cool! One of our sons did the same... Placed 6th in state for the end of his wrestling time...

Peaking

Or someone post Beatles 64 age..."When I'm 65.." Hardly rhymes but perhaps a song writer could pen one

 

[likitisplit]

Just wanted to mention that many of us under the 50 mark do really appreciate you ladies and gents

tyvm!

And if Peaked is for those approaching 60...does that mean poked or poking for those past...

 

[Lilianna23]

There better be something! I don't feel like I've peaked yet!

Less passionate than someone past 60.

 

[lanceGibs]

With twins like those who needs to peek?
Pun intended

 

[NightOfPassion2]

There better be something! I don't feel like I've peaked yet!

I hope to keep on poking along

 

[NightOfPassion2]

Oh boy...lucky for those joining peaking...

Hi all 65m single Orlando Florida

 

[One_ping_only]

Steelers @ Buffalo today will be fun to watch (on TV from the comfort of my warm sofa with a cold beer).

I'm also looking forward to watching this game and tonight's game as well. From the comfort of my sofa and a few beers as well

 

[Missk_2022]

I retired at 54 and quickly discovered the importance of keeping active and engaged. For me that meant working as a part time consultant and becoming a volunteer docent at a local history museum. I’m 66 now and these days grandkids keep me busy and smiling.

Yeah, staying busy is not a problem. I just want to not be beholden to a workday...if that makes sense

 

[Missk_2022]

Totally makes sense. I do not miss the barrage of emails, texts, fire drills, boring meetings, and most of all, that feeling on Sunday nights that Monday morning was looming.

And endless work that goes nowhere...or talking about work that never follow any actual practice, or co workers that wait around for me to do everything and then blame me when I get accolades.... and and and and

 

[Missk_2022]

Well maybe they are.... I am a person that pushes the work forward and you better not be standing in the wrong place....hahahaha

 

[Lilianna23]

It totally makes sense, MissK! I was lucky to retire when I did. I was concerned about not having the structure of a workday, but thrilled about it at the same time.

I hope you have a plan in place for retirement. And if you're not being valued in your workplace, look for other opportunities. Your experience and skill are far to valuable to stay somewhere you're not appreciated!

After 34 yrs in my current field, it’s fair to say I’m burnt out. Looking for an exit strategy, but don’t want to just retire and “wet worms” as we say…ok, maybe “wet flies”, but that’s another story!

I think, I’ll always be doing something, volunteer or maybe just pushing broom…who knows…the running joke is I’m going to be a goat heard…..

Baby goats are so cute! Get a herd of them!
