Beware your time now more than ever before. I've known people to be
busier after their retirement from their 9-to-5 jobs because their time
is so free of routines.

Yep, my husband and I both retired when he was 44. I am now 70; it seems
like only yesterday. We haven't worked a day since, and have been busy from
morn to night. You'll love the rest of your life!
Best of luck,
Dee

Why did you wait? We do "progressive" cooking every night of the
week.

You MUST buy "different" ingredients so you don't end up making the
same ole thing every meal!

In September?

Don't be daft!

We don't get all that much snow until January and only a sprinkling even
then as a rule.

It's rare to be snowed in anywhere these days :-(

That would have been nice, but this is my second marriage and I was 42 then.
It's like starting from scratch. But, I've managed
to arrange our finances so we will be financially secure. We won't owe
anyone anything!

So, what have you done for 26 years?

Things:
Without reciting all the 'things' that I've done, I'll just say that I've
pursued just about everything that I thought about doing all the years I was
working. I've done a lot of things 'on my list of things to do in life' and
I'll never say that I didn't get a chance to do them. Funny, but the major
things I wanted to do did not change over these years, even though my/our
outer circumstances did change off and on. Basically, we've had the time to
do just what we wanted to do most every day; there's nothing better.

I'm hoping to get down the road soon since the snow is already in
Alberta and headed farther south in the next month.

You elitist snob! RORT is a public group! Anyone can come here. Anyone
can post here. What are you afraid of? Some nice lady might post a
recipe or something? Like that would hurt you! You and your ilk are
the only slime balls in here! You and your fellow elitist scum bags do
not control this group!

Actually, Chris, and Lon, *this* is what we don't want - this sort of
sideshow bickering in a.b.r!

It would be really nice if some of you old farts who drive those effing
great RVs were to take a driving test. You have no idea how wide your damn
vehicles are and your bloody mirrors have killed far too many cyclists - SO

I stopped waking up to an alarm clock. I get up, have leisurely breakfast,
check email, do online crosswords, go the the gym for a swim every day, walk
the dogs, have been to a few matinees at the theatre. Now I am getting
around to some house repairs.

As if a cyclist should talk about bad driving. Most cyclists seem to be
unaware of the fact that they are vehicles and have to follow the rules of the
road. That means stopping at stop signs, not passing on the right, staying off
sidewalks, riding on the right side of the road.

Last night we were on our way out for dinner I saw two cyclists run a stop
sign. A few minutes later I saw a cyclist who appeared to be making a proper
left turn at a traffic signal, though he didn't bother to signal. He moved over
to the left side of the road and slowed down. But instead of waiting for the
light to change, he darted across the road and went the wrong way on an exit
ramp from the other road and was riding down the wrong side of the road. I made
my turn when the light change and the cyclist veered across the road in front
of me without even looking to see if anyone was coming, as if I was supposed to
assume that is what he was going to do. A mile down the road there were two
cyclists riding on the wrong side of the road. A few miles after that I came
across four more cyclists , 2 groups of two. The front two were riding side by
side, one in the bicycle lane and the other in the car lane. Both made a right
turn at a controlled intersection, neither one signally their turn, and neither
one stopping for the red light. The next two followed their example, on of them
swinging out in front of me as I was passing. I passed the other two as well,
and when I came to a stop sign and waited for the intersection to clear, the
both passed me on the right and sailed right though the intersection without
stopping. Not a bad record for the cyclists..... out of 9 cyclists, 7 of them
failed to stop at stop signs, 5 of them failed to signal their turns, three of
them rode on the wrong side of the road, and two of them passed unsafely on
the right.

All things we are looking forward to. It's funny really, all his working
years Jim has never slept in. He's up by 6.

Since he retired he has slept to or past 8.

Thanks!

Now they've eliminated the 65 mandatory retirement so lots of people will
work past 65.
