:coolsmiley::coolsmiley::coolsmiley: John Galt, wherever you are, fuggitabout it! Even in your wildest dreams, you couldn't top OAGs above post.:rofl:

Don't know Dawg, but I hope things go well for you and you can get rid of the born loser tag. (Anybody that has the ability to retire at your age is a long way from being a born loser. Also, don't forget that O.J. has been patrolling golf courses all over the country looking for the real...

My grandkids would be proud.;D;D;D

;D;D Bridget Fonda was, and is, the poster child for "small can be beautiful". Thank you Grandpa Henry, and to Bridget a special thanks for realizing that loading up your bra size would be a mistake.:coolsmiley:

ReWahoo and Ha: As you both are aware, I very seldom read or post anymore. However, I find it interesting to see how retirees living off invesments only are handeling the recent downdraft we are having. Before spending any more time on Tango, I'd suggest you check out her original...

;D;D;D;D Ya still got it kid! (Sometimes you have to go high and tight, if the guy thinks he owns the plate). 2b has to have a little masochism working for him.:coolsmiley:

;D;D;D;D

Brew: Cut this young guy a little slack.:coolsmiley: He's a l9 year old college student. When I was l9, I was hoping my body would recover from wounds sustained as a Marine Grunt in Korea. (And wondering how I would support myself when my enlistment was up).:coolsmiley: By contrast, this...

;D;D;D I think our young friend is in dire need of a stress remover. Perhaps a good stiff one 3 times a day. (Talking about Jim Beam of Course).;)

:) My uncle Guido had a fairly successful bus. in New York city, during the depression, and the Crash. He was working one morning in the Wall St. Area, and one of the Brokers jumped out of a 4th. floor bldg. and landed right in the middle of Uncle Guido's Push cart.

;D;D ReWahoo: If you are planning on continuing to be an active member of this "Soap Box", probably a good idea to keep an eye out for somebody else warming up in the "Bull-Pen", just in case Rich actually retires. (A good "straight man" is hard to find):coolsmiley:

;D;D;D Kahn: Thanks for the grin. The only reason I visit this board from time to time is for a few laughs. Having spent the last 3 days with my children and my grandchildren, even though I care a great deal about all of them, the unencombered single life style has a certain amount of...

:coolsmiley::coolsmiley::coolsmiley: In my opinion, the above is the only post that is worth considering.;D

Must feel a bit like you are a top sirloin being grilled, and ReWahoo is the worlds largest meat-bee.;D;D

;D;D Conversation around a table 10 or 11 years from now on a very Public golf course, with a group of 40 somethings trying to pick 10 players to represent their course in a traveling group: "How about Rich?" "Rich"? "Yeah, I'm sure you've seen him around here before. Hits the ball really...

:):):) I was in Korea in l953. (l7 year old Marine Grunt). Our regiment had a policy, 8 mos. in a combat zone, qualified you for a week of R&R in Japan. I had about two weeks to go to qualify, when a N. Korean ruined my plans. 5 days in a Mash Unit, and 3 weeks at Balboa Naval Hospital...

;D;D Rich: "Take two and hit to right (behind the runner).:) Listen to your "Swing Doc", spend as much time as possible at the "Range", and you'll be amazed at how much you've improved. Trust me on this. When you and your wife are both retired, she will be as enthusiastic as you are...

Have no idea what your comment has to do with the subject at hand, but knowing a few sailors in my life, the idea of them spending more time in the water, (way out in the water), seems like a pretty good idea.:coolsmiley:

Nords: I first tuned into this board in 2003. I remember, at that time, there was rarely any "sky is falling, google type posts". Basically a board that was pretty much in tuned with, the reason for this board. (Early, or late retirement). Unfortunantly, for whatever reason, there has been...

Leonidas: My advice is to be kind to yourself, and keep things in perspective. An analogy that is pretty much accurate in the degree of difficulty, is to compare the sport of baseball versus golf. Last information I found was that there are more golfers that are playing, by far, than...

Novaman: If your patient needed the extra income to help fund his retirement, it's understandable. However, if that's not the case, and taking a part-time job in a hardware store is the only way that he could find a reason to get out of bed in the morning after retiring is another matter...

What Admiral Nords said.:coolsmiley:

You're a good dad Fuzzy, so if you enjoy telling tall tails from time to time, that's hunky-dory with me.:)

CFB: Agree. (I don't belong to the "Cutthroat" idea, that it's mine, all mine!)^-^ In fact, you're under consideration for a surprise. But only if you admit that you can make 90% of your shots from the half-court line is from an over-active imagination.:coolsmiley:

:) ^-^^-^ And not likely that you'll ever be bored. After we got out kids launched, I retired, (21 years ago) and built a home in the Sierras of No. Calif. After the dust cleared, there were 3 places you'd be likely to find me. At a Driving range, the local golf club, or an out of...
