The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Garage #2, the one on the side of the house, painted. One of the downsides of a wooden garage is the need to paint it all, but I she'll out on the Ducks Back wood paint so it onky needs doing every 2 or 3 years.

I thought it was just me, I don't have any real friends. I'm quite anti social and like my own company, which drives my other half nuts at times.

No there are millions of us.

Its just because we are so anti social and don’t talk to any one, no one knows we exist. 😀
And most of us like it that way 😂😂😂😂


Seriously though I do think it’s more of a man thing in general .

Lady?

You wouldn't think so with those tattoos and hairy forearms, but she really is a chick!

For christ sake stop working 😂😂.

If mrs exlaser ever finds out this is what retired people really do , I will be made to decorate the whole house and more 😂😂😂😂

No more volunteering , messing around at the sailing club, loafing around in coffee shops, tinkering with and not riding bikes, messing around in the garden , having the odd sneaky lunch time glass of wine and binge watching silly programs on Netflix. 😀😀

A friend of mine is self employed and is phasing himself into semi retirement. He now no longer works Fridays. Unfortunately, his Missus is now filling his Fridays with chores so instead of propping up the bar at the Rucksack and Infidel all day he is doing chores

From facebook this afternoon, lol!

A farmer drove to a neighbor's farmhouse and knocked at the door. A boy, about 9, opened the door. "Is your dad or mom home?" said the farmer. "No, they went to town." "How about your brother, Tommy? Is he here?" "No, he went with Mom and Dad." The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other, mumbling to himself, when the young boy says, "I know where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one, or I can give Dad a message." "Well," said the farmer uncomfortably. "No, I really need to talk to your Dad, about your brother Tommy getting my daughter Mary pregnant".
The boy thought for a moment, then says, "You'll have to talk to my Dad about that. I know he charges $500 for the bulls and $150 for the pigs, but I have no idea how much he charges for Tommy.

Well......sorry to report but my lovely wife of 55 years (MrsD) passed away at approx 0300 this morning.
Strange but the whole (immediate) family were with her yesterday.
As they say, life must go on.....I am just not sure how as yet.

So sorry Dave for your great loss , you made her very happy for 55 years .That is a wonderful legacy

Amazing. I know one or two school mates but only really through Facebook. Haven't really made a point of keeping close to any of them, but I never have been good at making and keeping friends. Probably because I am so happy with my own company most of the time.

We are very happy with your company Mo
