Avoiding boredom and inactivity
« on: May 28, 2008, 05:34:02 PM »
Since retiring, I'm often asked, "What do you old guys do, now that you're retired ?"

Well, I have a retired friend with a background in chemical engineering, and one of the things we enjoy doing, is turning beer, whiskey, and martinis into urine, and we're pretty good at it too !

Not sure what retired guys do. Seems like most of the guys I know that retired died (of boredom????) within a couple of years.

Huh, I've been retired 12 years and am not even feeling sick yet. I'm still trying to figure out how I used to have time to work though.

I have been retired for 5 years and I feel like I am busy all the time. Hope I can draw retirement for a long time.

 i'm retired and stay so busy that i wonder how i ever found the time to go to work. The biggest drawback is that i never know what day or date it is I was writing a check and paused at the date and the helpful cashier gave me the date and I said I'm trying to figgure out what month it i. ;D
