Let’s hope some young feller comes along to pay your way when the time comes.

It takes work to develop those skills, right? People who spend their days in Zoom meetings, reacting to emails, and keeping up with Slack channels don’t appreciate how much effort goes into mastering the art of goofing off. Yesterday I worked on my Costco shopping skills and an afternoon bicycle ride. Today I’ll practice my in person voting skills and hiking skills.

I too shall vote. I find that having my identity verified is fulfilling. Also, confirming my continued pre-zombie, near life like existence is reassuring.

After 60, it's the entire month

Long live Birthday Month...Happy Birthmonth everyone here. Especially 69!

Is it OK if I just copy both sides of my card and send it to you?

It’s the only way, Lilliana.

Let me know if you need a receipt.

Way to go! I'm a master (mistress?) Costco shopper!

You rock that vote! Then reward yourself with a nice hike.

It's cold here, been snowing tonight, and the rooftops are covered with frost. There's so much fog on the lake I can't see across it.

I don't think so. I can trust you, right? Right???

 

[RosevilleCAguy]

You've failed at retirement!

Failure is simply part of the learning curve.

 

[Wonderer67]

I don’t have time to find a gif, but imagine me nodding, and kind of gesturing, “of course you can trust me with your credit card..”

I have a mental image of employees groveling before your boot clad feet.

Glad it feels better my dear. Well done for stretching it out! some Ibuprophen will help the rest of it to calm down!

Too true, we are at the mercy of government policy, I just have a feeling that when I'm a year away, they'll raise my retirement age.

They will grandfather you in, retirement ages for most people already in the workforce are firm.

You’re Uncle Sugar loves you big time.

All this talk about retirement, I’ve had to change careers so many times that at 61, I’m just working for the rest of my life unless I win the lottery, lol!

I love the sign. I love horses. A girl I follow on line mare died of some sort of hemorrhage. She was full term and they tried to save the baby by c section but couldn't. So sad

I had a dream about it..... it was great.. first hire would be security. Then I would hire an account a lawyer and the pr person to keep crazies away from me. I would set up trusts for my nephews, give some gifts to people that have helped me, and a couple charities would get some money. And then I would buy a Big Field or an island and build a house right in the center and living it with my butler and my gardener. Oh and I would quit my job, as very soon as the money was in the bank, it would be epic and glorious and it would be a performance

That’s a nice dream!

I know I would first pay all our outstanding debts - house, my van, credit cards, student loans… set up money for my kids to go to college… and then? Honestly sometimes I think I’d take what was left and split it with my wife and get a divorce, let her keep the house and I’ll buy my own place. Then maybe she can find someone to meet her expectations that I fail at and I can just live my life, taking the kids like every other weekend or whatever is agreed to.

Anyone who says winning the lottery won't change their lives is a bloody liar. Mind you I bought half a haircut with my tenner last week

It’s like catch 22 when they keep raising the number of missions the crews have to fly. 35, then 40, then 45…

I’m a major major major major fan.

And of course, I think we can all empathize with Yossarian.

I haven’t read the book in ages. Maybe it’s time.
