The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

I spent most of the afternoon setting up and familiarising myself with my new Samsung Tablet, my old tablet, a Lenovo was very good but could be a bit laggy, it also was a bit heavy, our lads got that now, I sold it to him for twenty five quid , a bargain for a twelve month old tablet. I dropped him of at the station teatime so he's home now.

Cheers screenman ,for making me feel inadequate and that I’ve wasted my day .........

Don't worry that reads suspiciously like w**k........you on the other have had a nice retired day.....

I did 26 miles today, six times round a local hilly loop.

Oh dear PaulSB you do realise somewhere on your route a distressed householder was making a call to the police “hello is that the police , some weird bloke on a really shiny bike keeps riding past my house ,5 times already, oh no he’s just gone past again ”. .

Went for a cool and damp ride and I am so glad I did. Guess I needed an endorphin fix and I certainly got one. World's a better place now.... sorry for my earlier kvetching.
You can kiss a nun once, and kiss a nun twice, but you shouldn't get into the habit.

Would it fit you though, that's the question?

I am after some relationship advice. Mrs Ex laser and I have been married for 32 years . After this length of time we have got the present buying thing down to a fine art. First off we buy presents we know each want , then we buy each other surprise presents we know from experience each other will like . So why this Christmas have have I been given a smart speaker ( alexa) . I hate them , I don’t want voice operated anything. I don’t want to make shopping list on it , I don’t want to set reminders on it , I don’t want listen to the radio using it , I don’t want it to tell me the weather forecast. It’s all just noise pollution.
So I am down to two choices; either
1) All our married life is a lie and we know nothing about each other or
2) Mrs just wants a smart speaker lol ( plus option 1 might be relevant to ) 😂

Loads of people on here have been married a lot longer than me ,so what is your opinion?
Is it nothing to worry about or should I start looking for a divorce lawyer 😂😂😂😂😂😀

Quiet in here!

I have had a 4 mile frosty plod, steep in the bath and just finished my porridge and it's only 7am. What now? Oh, cuppa of course.

Good morning folks

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Was thinking about dad as I was trotting along this morning. 2 years today since I lost him. As much as I miss him, I would have been so worried if he had still been here with Covid. He needed a fair bit of medical attention in his last couple of years and he wouldn't have had so many people able to pop in for chats, etc.

Morning all

Dartmoor hills are white over this morning and the sky looks full of snow - reckon we'll have it by lunchtime.
We had three really loud and long claps of thunder overnight and doggie never stirred. She's usually a dithering wreck at the merest hint of thunder at home.
Off up onto the Moor in a while for walkies.

I think that:

Mrs @Exlaser2, thinks that after 32 years of being told what to do, by a woman (her), you have grown to enjoy it, hence, you will like Alexa talking at you
